Profile Summary

As a highly experienced expert in the formulation of herbal products, I offer a wide range of scientific services to assist businesses in optimizing their formulation budgets, outsourcing, and sourcing high-quality ingredients. My expertise lies in: Formulation optimization: With a deep understanding of the chemistry and bioactivity of herbal ingredients, I work closely with clients to formulate effective products that meet their specific needs while optimizing their formulation budgets. I leverage my knowledge of scientific principles such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability to create products with optimal efficacy and safety profiles. Outsourcing management: For clients who prefer to outsource their manufacturing needs, I provide rigorous vendor selection and management services. I can evaluate potential vendors based on their quality systems, regulatory compliance, and track record, and negotiate contracts to ensure that clients get the best possible value for their outsourcing budgets. Ingredient sourcing: As the quality of herbal products is highly dependent on the quality of the ingredients used, I provide expert guidance on ingredient sourcing. I leverage my extensive network of suppliers and my scientific expertise to source ingredients that meet clients' specifications for purity, potency, and sustainability. I also provide testing and verification services to ensure that ingredients meet regulatory requirements and are free from contaminants. With my scientific expertise, rigorous approach, and dedication to client success, I can provide businesses in the herbal products industry with the support and guidance they need to create effective, safe, and compliant products.
