Product Development Questions

Nutritional/Herbal Product Formulation and Development:

Adding an expert to your staff can help you achieve elite functionality without spinning your wheels and wasting time.

The reason to add a formulator/developer to your team is to create an effective product and to expedite its completion.

The advisory process focuses on the product’s intended function and the ingredients you want to include/disinclude. The choice of delivery system is important as it will affect your price point and marketing plan. 

Please consider the following questions as you move forward with your formulation process. 

Before we have a conversation, it would be good to know the answers to the following questions:

1. What is the intended function of your product? What do you want your product to do?
2. Are you making a new product or adjusting/updating an existing one?
3. What delivery format are you considering and why? Powder? Capsule? Tablet? Liquid? Bottle with dropper? Spray? Single dose packet? Edible? Beverage? Topical?
4. Are there ingredients you want to definitely include/disinclude?
5. Do you plan to manufacture the product or are you seeking a manufacturer to make this for you?
6. What is your time frame to bring this to market?
7. What is your budget?
8. Have you worked with a formulator before?
9. What other questions might you have?
