Clinical trial approval, study execution and the full functional stack — our longest-running capability.
A supplement, a face cream, a tablet and a catheter are governed by different authorities under different legislation, with different evidence expectations and different definitions of what you may claim. A consultancy that treats them as one offering has usually not read the second set of rules.
The categories do meet in one place: the boundary between them. A supplement claim that strays into treatment makes the product a drug. A cosmetic claim about repairing tissue does the same. Knowing where those lines sit, and pricing the consequence of crossing one, is most of the value in an early assessment.
That is a common and entirely reasonable position to be in — and it is the first thing a Readiness Assessment settles.
