1. is this supplement being esigned for market?
2. if so, what is the target shelf-life?
3. Where will it be sold and who are regulatory bodies controlling complementary medicines?
4. What sort of claims will be made?
One final thing.....this post is in a public forum so what is to stop a supplement company using the formula that we design?

Wow.

Anyone gonna ship the multivitamin to Europe? (officially/unofficially?)in the states & none
Indeed. After all we're a non-profit org and we're in the business of life extension (in this case it's more like 'health extension'). The more companies sell sane formulations the merrier."One final thing.....this post is in a public forum so what is to stop a supplement company using the formula that we design?"
Well, if we design the perfect* supplement, and one or two companies start selling it, then I'd consider that a wild success.
*) Yes, I know, there is no such thing as perfect.

So the rest of the world will be left out? Or simply subject to regulatory approval?
Thanks, but I'm definitely not a wicked dancer (might be mutually exclusive with "very tall") .
I'm glad to participate though.

1. Will the formulation be in softgel, hard tablet or capsule?
2. What will the size of the softgel/tablet/capsule be?
-most consumers do not like to swallow anything greater than a size 20 softgel
3. What will the daily dose be?
-a lot of consumers are not regular pills users (at least that the case here in Australia) so asking them to take more than 4 per day will be an inconvience
4. What about oxidation reactions?
bioavailability
7. Ingredient cost and source?
I think one of the most important questions to answer first though is whether this supplement is going to be designed for market or just for interested members. The contract manufacturers here in Australia require a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 300-500,000 softgels/run and I suspect, considering that the supplement being designed here will be a premium supplement, each run might cost approx. $50,000.
We should also consider the IP associated with the design of this supplement.

Excellent. I`ll chime in then at a later date after the formulation is finalised.
Just as a side note, if the leadership selects someone else other than our company to do this...

Perhaps I have missed something over the last 6 months or so because the mega dosing mindset seems to have dissapeared. That`s a good thing. Two a day is avery nice number especially if it`s just morning and night.
Yep, IP = intellectual property

Once the final formulation has been finalized I will suggest that we get multiple quotes from muliple contract manufacturers. This is the tradtional approach. Thank you for your input re. the mg amounts anthony. There are many things that we will need to consider. It's quite different herein Australia producing therapeutics and I will need to take this into account when I chime in.
