FORMULATION SCIENCE
Formulated for efficacy. Engineered for the real world.
Kompete Consulting combines clinical formulation thinking with practical product-development expertise.
Our specialist formulation scientists consider the complete product system — clinically meaningful ingredients and dosing, ingredient synergy, solubility, sensory performance, stability, regulatory fit, dosage-form constraints, and commercial manufacturing. The objective is not simply to create an impressive ingredient panel. It is to build a formulation that can perform scientifically, survive production, remain stable, meet market requirements, and provide a consumer experience appropriate to the product.
CLINICAL EFFICACY
Evidence-informed actives, dosing, and ingredient synergy.
STABILITY
Compatibility, oxidation, moisture, temperature, pH, and shelf-life considerations.
FLAVOR & SENSORY
Taste masking, sweetness, acidity, aroma, mouthfeel, texture, and aftertaste.
SOLUBILITY & DELIVERY
Dispersion, dissolution, emulsification, suspension, and delivery-system strategy.
MANUFACTURABILITY
Density, flow, compression, filling, processing, excipients, and scale-up.
REGULATORY FIT
Formulation decisions considered against the requirements of the intended market.
DOSAGE FORMS & PRODUCT FORMATS
The format changes the formulation.
Different delivery systems create different technical challenges. Dose capacity, density, flow, heat exposure, moisture, solubility, sensory requirements, processing conditions, packaging, and stability all change depending on the product format. Kompete helps develop the formulation around the format rather than forcing the same formulation logic into every product.
CAPSULES
Powder-filled systems including density, fill weight, sizing, flow, excipients, blend uniformity, moisture sensitivity, and production performance.
TABLETS
Compression, hardness, friability, disintegration, binders, lubricants, glidants, active load, and commercial tableting requirements.
POWDERS
Dose, flavor, solubility, dispersibility, density, scoop size, flow, anti-caking, mouthfeel, and moisture control.
STICK PACKS
Fill volume, density, flow, package dimensions, dispersibility, sensory profile, and commercial filling requirements.
GUMMIES
Active loading, flavor, pH, sweetness, texture, heat sensitivity, moisture, ingredient interactions, and stability.
SOFTGELS
Oil-soluble actives, carrier oils, fill concentration, oxidation control, compatibility, and lipid-based delivery.
LIQUIDS & WELLNESS SHOTS
Solutions, suspensions, and concentrated systems around solubility, pH, preservation, viscosity, oxidation, serving volume, and packaging.
FUNCTIONAL FOODS & BARS
Active loading, binding, texture, flavor, water activity, process exposure, serving size, stability, and consumer experience.
BUCCAL POUCHES & ORAL SPRAYS
Active loading, particle size, pH, moisture, flavor masking, carriers, release, dose delivery, preservation, and packaging.
CREAMS & COSMETICS
Emulsification, viscosity, active incorporation, compatibility, stability, sensory profile, packaging, and market positioning.
PET HEALTH
Palatable, species-appropriate delivery formats with attention to dosing, ingredient selection, stability, and practical administration.
WELLNESS SHOTS
High-active-load concentrated liquid systems where multiple functional ingredients must work within a small serving volume.
BARS
Ingredient loading, binding, texture, flavor, water activity, stability, processing, and shelf-life.
ORAL SPRAYS
Concentrated oral delivery with attention to solubility, flavor, dose delivery, stability, preservation, and packaging.
COSMETICS
Product concepts where formulation, stability, sensory characteristics, active systems, and market positioning must work together.

FORMULATION TO FINISH
A clinically strong formula still has to run on the machine.
Clinical formulation and production formulation solve different problems. A clinically designed formula focuses on ingredient selection, dose, evidence, synergy, and intended product performance. Commercial production introduces powder flow, density, blend uniformity, compression behavior, moisture, temperature exposure, mixing sequence, segregation, processing tolerances, packaging, and scale-up. Kompete’s team bridges both sides — developing the clinical rationale while translating the product into a formulation manufacturers can execute consistently.
POWDER FLOW
Affects capsule filling, tablet weight, stick-pack dosing, blending, and production efficiency.
DENSITY
Influences capsule size, scoop size, stick-pack volume, batch size, equipment capacity, and fill weight.
COMPRESSION
Balances actives, binders, lubricants, glidants, disintegrants, and commercial tableting behavior.
MOISTURE
Hygroscopic ingredients, botanicals, probiotics, effervescents, and powders may require environmental and packaging controls.
TEMPERATURE
Heat-sensitive ingredients may require changes to processing conditions, ingredient selection, or dosage-form strategy.
STABILITY
Compatibility, oxygen, light, moisture, pH, packaging, and processing determine commercial shelf life.

Advanced solutions for difficult formulation problems.
EMULSIFICATION
For ingredients requiring dispersion of oil and water phases or improved physical delivery.
ENCAPSULATION
Protect sensitive ingredients or create specialized delivery systems where appropriate.
PARTICLE-SIZE REDUCTION
Evaluate micronization, milling, and particle engineering where solubility or dispersibility is limiting.
SPRAY-DRIED SYSTEMS
Coordinate powders and dispersions for oils, omegas, botanicals, flavors, and specialized delivery systems.
SOLUBILITY ENHANCEMENT
Evaluate formulation techniques to improve dispersion or dissolution of challenging ingredients.
LIPID-BASED DELIVERY
Develop carrier systems for appropriate fat-soluble or lipid-compatible ingredients.
Kompete can develop the technical strategy and coordinate qualified technology and manufacturing partners.
300+ PROFESSIONALLY DEVELOPED CONCEPTS
Designed by professionals, for professional results.
Not every brand needs to begin with a blank formulation sheet. Kompete Consulting maintains a catalog of more than 300 professionally developed supplement concepts that can provide clients with an accelerated path to market. Clients can select suitable formulations for private-label or white-label commercialization, apply their own branding, and evaluate packaging options appropriate to the product. This reduces the development burden while still giving the brand access to formulations designed with professional product-development thinking.
300+ DEVELOPED CONCEPTS
Professionally formulated supplement concepts across multiple categories.
PRIVATE OR WHITE LABEL
Selected products can be fitted with the client’s branding and market identity.
PACKAGING FLEXIBILITY
Evaluate bottles, jars, pouches, stick packs, sachets, and other appropriate packaging systems.
FASTER COMMERCIALIZATION
Begin with an established concept rather than repeating the full custom-development cycle.
More than an ingredient list.
Selected catalog products can be supported with a product information deck or marketing sheet explaining the logic behind the formulation.
Your team should understand not only what is in the formulation, but why each component is there.

FORMULATION REALITY CHECKS
Small formulation details can create big production problems.
01 — CAPSULE CAPACITY IS ABOUT VOLUME, NOT JUST MG
A size 00 capsule does not have one universal milligram capacity. Actual fill weight depends on density and the physical characteristics of the formulation.
02 — THE ACTIVES ARE NOT THE WHOLE FILL
Flow agents, lubricants, fillers, anti-caking agents, stabilizers, and other required excipients also consume capsule volume.
03 — A FORMULA THAT FITS ON PAPER MAY NOT RUN IN PRODUCTION
Flow, density, segregation, moisture, electrostatic behavior, compression, and manufacturing tolerances influence whether a theoretical formula can run consistently.

Actual fill weight depends on density, flow, particle characteristics, excipients, and the complete powder system — not capsule size alone.
