Answers before you ask.

The questions brands ask us most, answered straight. Still stuck? Start a project and we'll get specific.

What exactly does Masters of Molecules do?
We are a full-stack supplement formulation studio. We take a concept — or a category you want to own — and formulate it, source the actives, engineer the flavor, build real benchtop prototypes, and hand a manufacturable spec sheet to your contract manufacturer. One team, concept to CoMan.
How does your pricing work?
A project fee covers the formulation work, and we take a small royalty on products we help create. You pay for the build; we share the upside. Our incentives point at the same thing yours do — a product that actually sells.
Do you work with early-stage brands or only established ones?
Both. We build hero SKUs for brands doing tens of millions, and we help focused founders launch a category-defining first product. What matters is the quality of the concept and your commitment to getting it right.
Who manufactures the final product?
We don't manufacture. We formulate and coordinate. We translate the finished formula into a build sheet, hand it to your contract manufacturer (CoMan), and stay in the loop so scale-up doesn't break what we built. If you need a manufacturer, we can point you to trusted ones.
What categories do you formulate in?
Nootropics and cognitive stacks, sleep and recovery, energy and focus, longevity, gut and digestive, functional beverages and shots, metabolic support, and more. If it is an ingestible supplement, we can likely build it.
How long does a formulation project take?
It depends on complexity, but most projects move from scope to tested prototype in a matter of weeks, not months. Timeline is one of the first things we lock during discovery so you always know where things stand.
Do you help with flavor?
Yes — flavor is often what makes or breaks a re-order. Led by our Chief Flavorologist, we engineer flavor systems that survive the actives and keep people coming back, rather than masking a formula that tastes like medicine.
How do I start a project with you?
Use the Start a Project form on this site. It takes about five minutes. Tell us the concept, where it stands, your goals and timeline, and how to reach you. If it's a fit, we'll come back with a scope and a plan.
