What We Deliver
Six Pillars of United States Food & Dietary Supplements Intelligence
Our six interconnected intelligence pillars give you a 360-degree view of the United States Food & Dietary Supplements market, from FDA regulatory pathways to competitive positioning and distribution dynamics.
01
Regulatory Landscape Analysis
We map every applicable FDA requirement under DSHEA 1994, FSMA, 21 CFR Parts 101, 111, and 117, and FTC advertising guidelines so you understand exactly what is required before a single product reaches a US shelf. Our team tracks recent FDA warning letters, guidance updates, and enforcement trends relevant to your specific category. This pillar eliminates regulatory blind spots that derail market entry timelines.

How It Works
From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence
Our four-stage engagement transforms your strategic questions into a structured, evidence-based intelligence package delivered in as few as four weeks.
Step 1 · Day 1-2
Discovery & Scoping
We conduct a structured intake session with your leadership team to define the exact intelligence questions, product categories, target channels, and regulatory concerns that matter most. This scoping call shapes every subsequent research workstream and ensures zero wasted effort on information you already have. You receive a confirmed scope document and project timeline before any research begins.
Taevas Approach
The scoping session typically runs 60-90 minutes and covers your current regulatory status, target SKU portfolio, priority US states or channels, budget constraints, and board presentation date. We align on three to five primary intelligence questions that will anchor the final report structure, and we identify any proprietary data sources you can share to accelerate the research.

FDA DSHEA Framework Complexity
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 creates a unique regulatory environment where manufacturers are responsible for product safety before market entry without pre-market FDA approval. However, New Dietary Ingredient notifications, cGMP compliance under 21 CFR Part 111, and mandatory serious adverse event reporting under 21 CFR Part 111 create significant compliance obligations. Non-compliance has resulted in hundreds of FDA warning letters and import alerts annually, making regulatory intelligence a prerequisite for market entry.
FSMA and Food Safety Modernization
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act imposes preventive controls requirements on conventional food manufacturers and co-manufacturers supplying the US market, including foreign supplier verification programs that affect international suppliers. Dietary supplement companies that also manufacture conventional food products or use shared facilities face dual compliance obligations under both 21 CFR Part 111 and 21 CFR Part 117. Understanding which FSMA rules apply to your specific product and manufacturing configuration is essential before committing to a US co-manufacturer.
Channel Fragmentation and DTC Growth
The US supplements market is increasingly fragmented across natural specialty retailers such as Whole Foods and Sprouts, mass market chains, club stores, pharmacy chains, Amazon, and brand-owned DTC subscription models. DTC and e-commerce now represent over 35 percent of supplement sales and are growing faster than brick-and-mortar channels, but they also attract heightened FTC scrutiny on advertising claims and subscription billing practices. Selecting the right channel entry sequence is one of the highest-leverage decisions a new market entrant can make.
Ingredient Innovation and NDI Pipeline
Consumer demand for novel ingredients including adaptogens, postbiotics, precision fermentation-derived nutrients, and condition-specific formulations is driving rapid product innovation, but many of these ingredients require New Dietary Ingredient notifications to the FDA before they can be legally marketed. The FDA NDI notification process has become a critical bottleneck for innovative supplement companies, with the agency issuing objection letters at an increasing rate. Companies with a clear NDI strategy have a meaningful competitive advantage over those who discover the requirement after product development is complete.
