Brandon Passwaters

Founder, Nutra Botanics

I founded Nutra Botanics and write about supplement ingredients, labels and product comparisons. I have a commercial interest in this brand. I do not hold a clinical credential.

FROM THE INDUSTRY. TO YOUR LABEL.

THE DETAILS BEHIND THE BOTTLE.

For 20 years, I’ve worked in U.S. supplement sales, distribution and category management, including international sales and Sam’s Club channel management. That experience shaped how I look at formulation, sourcing and the information shoppers need.

I founded Nutra Botanics, a brand of Nutrition World, and Revenue Group, a marketing agency. My writing connects that operating experience with ingredient research, label details and practical product comparisons.

My role is industry and product education. When an article has a separate clinical review, it identifies the reviewer and review date. Read our editorial standards for the full process.

"I do not hold a clinical credential. My role is to provide industry context, link readers to the evidence, and be clear about where product education ends and personal medical guidance begins."

THREE WAYS I BRING CONTEXT.

Industry-context expertise, not clinical credentials.

01, Operating Tenure

20 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY.

Hands-on experience in sales, distribution and category management, with visibility into how supplements reach the shelf.

02, Brand Operations

BUILDING SUPPLEMENT BRANDS.

Founder of Nutra Botanics and Revenue Group, bringing product and brand operations into the editorial conversation.

03, Documentation

LOOKING BEYOND THE CLAIM.

Product and lot details matter. I focus on what documentation covers, where information comes from and what it can establish.

CLEAR ABOUT MY ROLE.

Honesty about the boundary of an author’s expertise is part of the standard.

In scope, what I author

Industry & formulation context.

  • What an ingredient is and where it comes from
  • Ingredients, serving amounts and directions on a current product label
  • What a product or lot document covers, without assuming certification or testing
  • How to compare supplement labels
  • What the cited research studied and what it cannot establish
  • Where a marketing claim goes beyond its source
  • Practical product comparisons and questions to check before buying
Out of scope, seek a qualified clinician

Diagnosis, dosing, & clinical guidance.

  • Diagnosing, treating or preventing disease
  • Assessing medicine and supplement interactions for an individual
  • Personal dosing during pregnancy or nursing, or for a child
  • Choosing treatment or changing a prescription
  • Advice that requires a healthcare-provider relationship
  • Explaining personal symptoms or deciding on urgent care
  • Deciding whether a product is safe for a particular person
