The Problem
Every market plays by different rules
Bringing a supplement to market is a scientific and regulatory obstacle course. A claim that is routine in the US can be noncompliant in the EU. A formulation that clears one regulator can stall with another. The science must translate into words consumers trust and regulators accept, in every country where you sell. Most brands have marketers or scientists. Very few have someone who is both, and fewer still have one who knows the rules across markets.
Compliance is only the entry ticket. Winning products begin with a real consumer need and a creative, science based solution to it. That is where my work starts: understanding what the consumer is actually struggling with, then solving it with rigorous science and translating it into a product they trust.
About Dr. Colleen
PhD · MS · RD · Founder, PhenomX Health SA, YU, Renewly Health
Mission
I help supplement brands and ingredient suppliers create women and men's health products that are scientifically credible, compliant across international markets, and ready to sell.
I have spent three decades turning nutrition science into products people can buy. My background includes senior nutrition science roles at Nestlé and Cereal Partners Worldwide, a PhD in metabolomics from Leiden University, an MS from Tufts University, and credentials as a registered dietitian.
I start with the consumer's real need and solve it creatively with science. I use scientific, peer-reviewed research, design the formulation, defend the claim, and write the consumer copy. I also work with modern AI tools daily, which means evidence reviews and substantiation work move at a pace traditional consultancies cannot match.
I have direct experience with EFSA health claim applications and regulatory strategy across the EU, US, UK, Brazil, Mexico, and Australia, and I am the founder of PhenomX Health, a Swiss femtech company where I design and build AI powered precision nutrition products, including agent architecture, evidence grounded claims logic, and health data compliance.

A rigorous audit of your existing product or product line. I assess every claim against the rules of your target markets, flag what puts you at risk, and rewrite claims so they are both compliant and compelling.
