ABOUT

Science that holds up commercially

The difference is more than 20 years in industry R&D: reading the evidence, and knowing what survives formulation, manufacturing, and regulatory review. I work with nutrition and consumer-health brands, dietary supplement companies, ingredient suppliers, biotech platforms, and the investors who back them.Focus areas: GLP-1 Companion Nutrition · Gut Health & Probiotics · Metabolic & Weight Health · Plant Bioactives · Pet Nutrition

Why clients bring me in

You're weighing a deal, an ingredient, a claim, or a product launch, and you need to know whether the science will hold up once it meets formulation, manufacturing, and regulators.That's the question I answered for more than 20 years across probiotics, multivitamins, functional nutrition, and pet nutrition at leading global companies. I was the scientific voice in the go/no-go decisions, built the evidence behind the claims, and delivered 56 product launches and renovations, including ingredient technologies supporting portfolios with more than $2B in combined annual sales.I work alongside your team to pressure-test the idea early, from the mechanism and the evidence to scale-up and the claims you want to make. Together we find the weak link while it's still easy to fix, so you can move forward with confidence.You'll get a clear answer, the evidence behind it, and practical next steps. I'm independent, with no ingredient or brand to promote, so my only interest is what's right for your product.Rodney A. Velliquette, PhD | Founder & Principal Advisor
