Practical notes written by the instructors. Each article links to the course where you practise it with your own hands.
A trending active is not automatically right for your brand. Four questions on evidence, compatibility, regulation and cost to ask before any ingredient goes into a formula.
A brand owner need not formulate, but must be able to read a formula. The phase structure, what each ingredient group does, what the percentages mean, and the questions that show a factory you can read it.
Probiotics are alive, unlike extracts. The product must hold a defined number of viable cells to the expiry date. Choosing a strain, keeping the count, and the limits of what you can claim.
Extract to capsule: set the daily dose from actives and Thai FDA limits, size it by capsule fill capacity, then pick form, excipients, shell and documents.
A standardized extract holds its marker within a stated range in every lot. How to choose and measure a marker, read a CoA, and use Thai pharmacopoeia specs.
Pick an extraction method by what the target compound dissolves in, which solvents the end product allows, and cost per gram of active, not per kilo of extract.
A biomarker is a measurable biological indicator that turns 'it works' into a number. What it is, how to choose one that matches your claim, and how to use it as a selling point without overreaching.
Food label statements split into nutrition claims and health claims with different conditions. The types, the nutrient thresholds, the evidence required, and examples of what passes and what does not.
Before filing with Thai FDA you must know your product's category, because the category sets the route, documents and time. The classification logic, the paperwork, and why most filings come back.
Stability answers how long a formula lasts; compatibility answers whether formula and packaging can live together. What both studies involve, the standard conditions, timelines and what to prepare.
Building a cosmetic brand in Thailand has seven steps that must run in order; skipping one costs more later. From positioning, formula and factory to Thai FDA notification, cost, label and channels.
Three levels of testing answer three different questions at three price levels. How to match your claim to the evidence you need, and sequence tests to spend the least first.
A claim on a label or in an ad needs evidence that matches the words. Claim types, the evidence each needs, which test results count, and the wording that gets sent back.
