Where the label ends, the evidence begins.
I evaluate and build supplement formulas against the actual research — the right doses, the right forms, and claims you can defend.
Where formulations fall short
Most supplements are built to sell, not to work.
Underdosing
The right ingredient below the dose the research supports.
Poor bioavailability
Present, but in a form that barely absorbs.
Unsubstantiated combinations
Many ingredients, no evidence they work as a blend.
Claims outpacing evidence
Marketing the science can’t defend.
Safety blind spots
Interactions and contraindications left unscreened.
Formulas that fall behind
The evidence moves; the product doesn’t.
What I do
I make sure your product is scientifically sound.
Independent, evidence-based evaluation — from a pharmacologist with no stake in what you manufacture.
Why independence matters
Most formulation advice comes from someone with something to sell you — a manufacturer, an ingredient supplier, a lab with capacity to fill. Their input is useful, but it isn't neutral. My role is the one part of the process with no commercial stake in the outcome: an independent scientific read on whether your formula's doses, forms, and claims actually hold up to the evidence. Sometimes that means telling you an ingredient doesn't work, or a claim won't stand. That honesty is the entire point.
