Phase 1 — Formulation & Guardrails
Whilst I enjoyed working with Dan and found him to be very personable and professional, we unfortunately had different expectations for the project.
However, I found him to be generally good to work with, responsive, but just not the right fit for this specific project.

Job Success
Pueblo West, United States - 9:44 am local time
My background combines 17+ years in pharmaceutical R&D and QA systems with a 12-year independent consulting track record of 400+ developed products across capsules, powders, liquids, gummies, pet products, functional beverages, topicals, and specialty nutrition formats.
Most supplement projects start with ingredients — I start with the system behind the product.
Supplement formulations are more than trendy ingredients, and supplement products are much more than formulas. A viable product must survive sourcing, documentation, label review, claim scrutiny, CMO execution, testing, packaging constraints, cost pressure, and scale-up without drifting from the original intent.
My role is to prevent structural failure before the product reaches manufacturing, compliance review, or market scrutiny.
I Help Brands Evaluate:
• Formula logic and active-dose feasibility
• FDA / DSHEA claim exposure
• Supplement Facts and ingredient declaration structure
• Ingredient sourcing and COA risk
• Manufacturing variability and CMO fit
• Testing, specifications, and documentation needs
• Cost of goods and margin pressure
• Scale-up and transfer readiness
6–18 months after rushed launches, brands often discover issues such as under-dosed formulas, unstable actives, weak claims, label redesigns, failed testing, supplier inconsistencies, or manufacturer drift.
These are rarely just formulation problems — they are product architecture problems.
What I Help With:
• Supplement formulation and product architecture
• Capsule, powder, gummy, liquid, pet, and functional product development
• FDA / DSHEA-aware label and claim review
• Pet supplement and animal nutrition products with FDA/CVM-aware, AAFCO-aligned review
• Supplement Facts and ingredient declaration structure
• Ingredient selection, sourcing, COA review, and supplier risk screening
• Testing strategy, specifications, and documentation planning
• CMO sourcing, quote-readiness, and manufacturing transfer
• Pilot batch review and troubleshooting
• Product line strategy for premium supplement brands
Who I Work Best With:
I work best with serious founders, funded startups, growth-stage brands, and performance-driven supplement companies that want to build products correctly before moving into production.
I am not the best fit for projects that only need an ingredient list or surface-level label edits without broader product review.
I am the right fit if you want a product that is:
• Regulatory-durable
• Manufacturable at scale
• Defensible under competitive scrutiny
• Built with sourcing and testing controls
• Structured for margin integrity
• Cleanly transferable to a qualified manufacturer
Engagement Structure:
Most full product-development projects begin with a Phase 1 Product Architecture Roadmap.
Before final formulation begins, we define the product strategy, regulatory posture, claim direction, ingredient logic, manufacturing pathway, testing needs, and documentation structure.
For smaller projects, I also provide focused formulation reviews, label/claim audits, CMO-readiness reviews, and advisory support.
Execution follows structure — not the other way around.
For high-alignment projects, ongoing advisory and manufacturer coordination may also be available.
I take on a limited number of projects so each engagement receives the depth, precision, and technical oversight it deserves.
If you are building a serious supplement or pet-product brand and want to reduce expensive unknowns before they surface, send me a message.
