Hi, I'm Shane from Path Forward Formulator. Welcome to our three minute Thursday series where we demonstrate the features of our app while building a formula in three minutes or less. Please click the demo button in the post to schedule your demo and learn more about Path Forward Formulator.
Today, we are creating a plant-based multivitamin capsule for women. So let's start by choosing a capsule, hard shell, and we'll go powder filled. Let's go with one capsule per serving, 30 per container, and use a child resistant cap. We're going to use an HPMC polymer and we'll let the system suggest the starting point for our clean label excipients in an herbal based formula. For the ingredients, our friends at Organetics have an amazing multivitamin blend that is already in our system and ready to be used. Let's go ahead and choose that. Recommended dose is 500 milligrams. We'll go with that, put it in a capsule, and the system starts calculating everything on the right. We can also take a quick glance at the sub facts, see what is coming from the ingredients, and we notice iron and zinc are a little lower than we want. So we're going to go ahead and bump those up a bit. So we're going to start by using Argen I curry leaves extract. We need about 9 milligrams of iron from this source. We let it adjust for potency. And now for the zinc, let's choose some Origin Zinc. We need about eight additional milligrams coming from this one, and we'll also let the system adjust for potency. Now it flags us that it won't fit in one capsule, not a problem. We go back to the previous screen, we change it to two capsules per serving, leave it at 30 per container, go back to ingredients and you'll see everything recalculates and we're good to go. Let's go ahead and save this formula. That way we can get to the screen to see what we can export. Once we save it, we view the record, and then up top, we can find our export functions, including the sub facts if we need to take another look at that. But what we're after right now is the specification sheet, because we want to open that up where we've got information on the formula, including potency and overage, but what we're really after now is the supplier. Let's jump down to that section and verify that indeed Organetics contact details have all populated. So we know who to go to to get these materials. And that is a plant-based multivitamin for women in three minutes or less.
We look forward to seeing you in our next three minute Thursday. If you are not already using our app-based system, please visit pathforwardformulator.com to find out more and schedule your demo today.
