Formulation Technology, Inc.

A different kind of contract manufacturer, combining cutting-edge technology with old-fashioned personal service and integrity.

We offer more than finished products: we provide best-of-class business solutions. When Formulation Technology opened its doors in 1982, it brought to its clients more than 70 years of combined experience. The company was founded by Bill Hensley and Jed and Celia Meese, respected veterans of the nutritional supplement industry. Bill was one of a handful of early pioneers assisting in the start up of several nutritional manufacturing firms in California. Jed and Celia had been actively involved in the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industry since the 1960’s. This seasoned team built FTI on the pillars of quality, integrity, and service—the same foundations that it operates on today. The company has grown over the decades from just 6 employees to more than 60 and from 5,000 square feet to 40,000 spread across 2 acres. But through all that growth some things remain the same.

At FormulationTech, we believe the future of supplements is being shaped right now—with innovation, consumer-focused design, and solid science leading the way.

Here are some of the key trends we’re watching as the industry moves toward more targeted and transparent formulations:

✅ From Generic to Targeted: Consumers are moving away from one-size-fits-all multivitamins and looking for formulations tailored to specific life stages, health goals, and physiological needs.

✅ Mood, Cognitive & Stress Support: Supplements for brain health, emotional balance, and stress resilience are on the rise, driven by growing awareness of mental wellness.

✅ Delivery Innovation & User Experience: Powders, gummies, dissolvables, and advanced enzyme-assisted formats are redefining how consumers experience supplements.

✅ Beauty from Within: Formulas that support skin, hair, and nail health are thriving, with multifunctional ingredients and synergistic blends leading the way.

✅ Transparency & Evidence Over Hype: With consumer skepticism growing, brands that back their claims with real science are earning long-term trust.

✅ Women’s Health – Underserved but Emerging: Hormonal balance, menopause, menstrual health, and fertility support are becoming top areas for innovation and R&D investment.

New research suggests that daily pomegranate extract supplementation in adults aged 55–70 may help increase IGF-1, support tissue repair, and reduce inflammation — all key factors in healthy aging.

While telomere length didn’t change significantly in the 12-week study, results showed lower IL-6 and IL-1β, improved cognitive flexibility, and reduced blood pressure, highlighting the potential of polyphenol-rich botanicals in aging and wellness formulations.

👉 A powerful opportunity for brands developing solutions for longevity, joint health, and “inflammaging” support.

Innovation in supplements isn’t just about what goes in—it’s how ingredients are sourced, formulated, and communicated. At FormulationTech, we’re tracking several key trends this year:

Cleaner ingredient labels — solvent-free, carrier-free, minimal excipients
Verified efficacy — more clinical data behind popular actives
Efficient formats — low-dose, high-potency formulations that deliver
Transparency and traceability — consumers want to know where their ingredients come from

A recent study suggests that combining vitamins C and E with resistance training may help improve muscle mass and strength in older women with sarcopenia — a key insight for supplement developers focused on healthy aging and functional formulations.

A great reminder that sometimes the most effective innovations involve rethinking how we pair trusted nutrients rather than reinventing the wheel.

Polyphenols have long been recognized for their antioxidant activity—but new research is uncovering broader applications. From supporting gut health through microbial metabolites to promoting healthy aging, these compounds are gaining traction across categories.

For supplement formulators, polyphenols offer:

✅ Strong consumer recognition (pomegranate, grape, green tea)

✅ Clinically emerging benefits beyond oxidative stress

✅ Versatility across capsules, powders, and functional foods

As the science develops, polyphenols are set to play an even bigger role in next-generation wellness formulations.

L-Theanine: More than Calm—May Guard the Brain from Sleep-Loss Damage. A recent study shows that L-theanine (a GRAS-designated amino acid from green tea) inhibited hippocampal ferroptosis in sleep-deprived mice by downregulating NOX4 and protecting brain mitochondria—also preserving memory performance. An exciting glimpse of L-theanine’s neuroprotective potential, though human validation is still needed.
