Your product deserves a top spot on the shelf.
When your brand is competing for the customer’s dollar, there’s nothing more important than standing out. Paired with a well-defined regulatory strategy, clinical research allows you to validate claims that will get your product noticed.
In the food industry, regulations dictate what you can say, and how aggressively you can say it.
The SNI team has a 20+-year history working with the prepackaged food sector, from private label brands to multinationals with thousands of SKUs. Our understanding of the regulations helps us create a winning clinical research approach no matter the type of food or beverage, or its ingredients.
Our team is well-versed in the latest health areas of interest for food clinical research, including the gut microbiome and probiotics, metabolism, diabetes, weight and obesity, sports and physical performance, cardiovascular disease, and much more.
Drug and natural health product studies have distinct requirements that drug or natural health product studies don’t. That's why our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art metabolic testing equipment including the InBody 570 Body Composition Analyzer, Urisys 1100® Urine Analyzer, Elite HRV CorSense® heart rate monitor, OneTouch® Glucose Monitor, spirometer and dynamometer.
