In a slight departure from discussing specific ingredient categories, Devon and Todd talk about the importance of university research in discovering new ingredients and validating their benefits. Todd speaks to industry expert Doug Lynch about tech transfer and patent agreements, while Devon shares what qualities she looks for clinical trials. After all, clinically validated ingredients have to start somewhere!

Devon and Todd rise to the occasion discussing several ingredients for men’s sexual health supplements. As this category is rife with adulteration, which has duly attracted the attention of regulators, the Nutraceuticos cover various options (like nitric oxide boosters and botanicals that support testosterone levels) that allow formulators today to play it clean. Complete with an efficacious dose of puns and humor!

At a recent trade show, Devon shared on stage that she was “very proud of her vagina” in the context of women’s health being an often overlooked space in the supplement world. Todd and Devon discuss ingredients that benefit women’s health, specifically hormonal balance, perimenopause, and sexual health.

Join industry veterans Todd Runestad and Devon Gholam for the inaugural episode of their new podcast where they will discuss ingredients, trends, and innovations in the supplement industry. In this episode, they discuss the phrase “efficacious doses of clinically validated ingredients” and how it relates to vitamins and recommended daily values.
