How Did Tim Develop the Contents of the BrainQUICKEN Pills?

[patriot29]

That is, does anyone know how to go from the idea "I would like to produce a product that increase the speed of brain function" to developing a supposedly clinically-tested working supplement? Thanks.

Research. Research. Research.

There are so many compounds, vitamins and minerals that have so many different affects. Have a research team or company develope a formula for you then have to mass produced.

so you think Tim hired a research team with the instructions to create a product to increase brain function? It seemed to me in the book he went from thinking about the product to one week later ready with the product ready to ship. Do you happen to know of any research teams that Tim might have used, out of curiosity?

I googled brain function supliments and found several. Each gives a list of ingredients. It should be easy to figure out what is in each that is its "main" ingredient.

Combine several and stir.

vitamin and supplement contract manufacturers help with all of that...


im actually in the process of having a supplement made for me as we speak. i knew a lot about supplements to begin with so i was able to formulate it myself. but the teams and researchers they have will help you tweak it.

Vagabond, without giving away your specific product idea, do you think you could give a general overview of how you're going from idea to implementation, particularly in the realm of involving develment contractors?

I too have a good measure of experience with supplements and several ideas that I've been toying with for some time now. But I never really understood how someone outside of the industry could develop these into a product. Any shared wisdom would be much appreciated!

PLR is much easier to do. Instead of spending your startup capital on research (especially on ingestiables!), use it to license an existing product and relabel it.

private label is a good idea, my main concern is that typically the pre-made products are in heavily competitive markets... multivitamins, weight loss, glucosamine.. etc..

i plan on using my innovative product as the flagship and use that to build up trust with my customers then offer private label versions of mainstream products.

i brought my idea and my initial formula to many contract manufacturers and had them help me with the research and finalize the formula. actually it was much easier then i was expecting.

google vitamin supplement manufacturers or contract manufacturers..

Thanks Vagabond, I'll look into it further this week.

Despite the idea of the 4HWW concept to not put much (if any) of your own money to start, I imagine you (and Tim) had to put a bit in for development. Care to share a rough idea of your initial costs at this stage?

Obliged,

Well the upfront cost is quite a bit because there are minimums. It costs them a lot of money to purchase raw materials and press them or turn them into tablets...

The deposit was $1250 to have 2 sample bottles made (which I have received and a friend and myself are taking)... and will cost several thousand more to have my initial purchase of 500 bottles made (theyre minimum is 1000 but i offered to pay a little bit more per bottle to bring it down to 500)... and then from there is marketing and sales, i will forgo traditional print ads because typically theyre expensive in favor or PR and trying to get blurbs here or there in magazines/newspapers and i will use search marketing... so this IS costing me a pretty penny but my breakeven volume is relatively low given the decent markup on supplements.

So yes, its expensive, but the research ive done makes it seem like its a viable market and its a risk im willing to take.
