MSc. Nutrition | 100+ Supplements Developed | EU, UK, US Regulatory Guidance I help health and wellness brands turn supplement ideas into scientifically sound, regulation-compliant products that stand out—ready for market. With over 20 years’ experience in nutraceutical product development, I’ve formulated and launched 100+ dietary supplements across Europe, the UK, South Africa, and the U.S. Whether it’s a capsule, gummy, powder, or functional beverage, I manage the full development lifecycle: from ideation, regulatory strategy, formulation, sourcing, and stability to label compliance and co-manufacturer support. What I offer: Custom formulation (sports, immune, cognitive, hormonal, metabolic, or beauty) Supplement development (incl. capsules, tablets, gummies, sachets, drink mixes) Ingredient selection & sourcing (vegan, organic, patented, EFSA/UK-compliant) Label & health claim guidance (EU/UK/South Africa/FDA regulations) Co-manufacturer or private label consulting Pre-Consultant Requirements: Existing formula or concept Target market (US/EU, etc.) Main objectives or concerns My Skills: Nutritional Supplements Product Formulation Regulatory Compliance Ingredient Research Nutraceuticals Nutritional Science Labeling & Packaging Private Label Consulting Qualifications: MSc. Holistic Health & Nutrition Education (USA) BSc. Nutritional Science (UK) Marketing Management (South Africa) Message me to discuss your next supplement or food innovation. Let’s take your concept from sketch to shelf. F&Q 1. I only have a product idea. Can you still help me? Absolutely. Whether you have a full formula or just a concept (like "immunity gummies for women"), I’ll guide you step-by-step using my development toolkit to turn your idea into a feasible, regulatory-aligned product. 2. Will my formulation be legal and compliant in my country? Yes — I assess your formulation based on your target market (e.g. EFSA for EU). I’ll flag banned ingredients, dose limits, and provide guidance on allowable claims. 3. What documents or support will I receive after our session? Depending on your package, you'll receive a written review summary, claim mapping sheet, or formulation toolkit with editable templates (cost calculator, brief template, and more). Everything is easy to use or send to your manufacturer.
