Episode 19: Rest & Recovery
[00:00-00:25]
Hi, I'm Rebecca from Path Forward Formulator. Welcome to our mobile edition of our 3 Minute Thursdays. In today's edition of 3 Minute Thursday, we're going to make a rest and recovery powder with BCAAs and a probiotic from our friends at B&D Nutritional Ingredients. Let's start by Fax Box. This is a feature in Path Forward Formulator where you can start your formulation process with either a nutritional or a supplement Fax Box.
[00:25-00:49]
Let's choose a supplement facts box and now we can start adding our ingredients. We'll start with our probiotics from B&D Nutritional Ingredients. We are looking for a GABA producing probiotic which is going to help for stress and sleep support. The recommended dose is one billion CFU a day and to get that we need ten milligrams. We will add an astragalus extract at a hundred and fifty milligrams.
[00:49-01:21]
Next, we will add in some carnitine as L-carnitine tartrate at five hundred milligrams, some citrulline malate at five hundred milligrams, creatine monophosphate at 3 grams, BCAA at 5 grams, which we can add in pre-blended or individually, zinc citrate at 15 milligrams, and magnesium bisglycinate at two hundred milligrams. Once we finish adding our ingredients we can hit next and choose our dosage form.
[01:21-01:53]
Powder BCAA powder. One scoop per serving, 28 servings per container. We'll use the flavor and sweetener generators to get a cost target for flavors and a suggested sweetener profile. We'll set both to natural and mid. Then we will click next to bring us to the cost estimation screen where we need to place each ingredient into the powder. Once that is complete our cost and bottle size will calculate and you can tap at the bottom to view.
[01:53-02:09]
Then you can view our fact sheet and everything there looks good. And we can see the sweetener profile path forward formulator has generated. Let's save the formula, view the record, and export the specification sheet.
[02:09-02:36]
In the general product information section, you'll see our starting point here is just above a thirteen gram serving size. In the formulation section, you can see each ingredient and the total input amount needed to achieve label claim. If we skip to the ingredient supplier section, we can see where to get this probiotic from. In this case, B and D nutritional ingredients and the appropriate contact will populate.
[02:36-02:50]
And that is a rest and recovery powder in 3 minutes or less. We look forward to seeing you in our next 3 Minute Thursday. If you are not already using our app-based system, please visit pathforwardformulator.com. Thank you.
