Supplement Formulation & Sourcing | Supply Chain Management
I help wellness brands build differentiated, compliant products — not by only sourcing factories, but by solving the hard problems in formulation, delivery system design, and regulatory strategy. Most brands have a concept. Few know how to turn it into a stable, compliant, market-ready product. That's where I come in. --- WHAT I DO • Product concept → formulation strategy → manufacturable design • Advanced delivery systems: sustained-release pellets, dual-chamber capsules, oral films, multi-phase systems • Regulatory strategy: FDA / EFSA / FSANZ / TGA / Health Canada compliance awareness • Ingredient separation & stability design for sensitive actives • Pet wellness product development (soft chews, functional powders, gummies) • Manufacturing partner selection & production oversight in China --- MY BACKGROUND 18 years in the nutrition industry. Former founding team member of an infant nutrition brand that scaled to 300M+ annually, where I led supply chain and marketing. Later built and operated a adult supplement e-commerce company in China. For the past two years, I've consulted for wellness brands across the US, EU, and Australia — helping founders navigate formulation complexity, regulatory risk, and manufacturing execution. --- WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I'm not only a sourcing agent. I'm a product development partner. Most "sourcing consultants" connect you to factories. I help you design a product that's worth manufacturing — with the formulation rationale, delivery system logic, and regulatory awareness to back it up. My network in China includes GMP-certified manufacturers, but I only introduce them when the product design is ready. --- RECENT CLIENT WORK • Pet wellness brand (North America): formulation consultation + ingredient sourcing for a premium joint support line • Functional beverage startup (EU): regulatory review + delivery format recommendation for a melatonin-free sleep product • DTC supplement brand (US): reformulation strategy to improve stability and reduce MOQ through advanced delivery design --- Message me with your product concept. I'll tell you honestly if it's feasible before we discuss working together.
