Event Overview:
Clinical trials on dietary ingredients and supplements remain the preeminent route to claims validation. Product-specific evidence is your strongest form of intellectual property. However, it’s a common belief that the resources to fund a clinical trial are out of reach for many early-stage companies. But is it? This seminar will change that perception. It will provide strategic approaches to funding clinical studies that align with the resources you have.
Key Learning Objectives:
Learn about the opportunities linked to ingredient-/product-specific evidence
Learn what economic factors define clinical trial costs
Learn how to identify and feasibly allocate resources for clinical trials
Get guidance on what products to study, what and when to measure, and the ideal subjects
Find out how to translate data into dollars
