Compliance-Informed Copywriting for Supplement & Functional Food Brands

You’ve worked hard to create a product you believe in, but turning that into clear, compliant, and engaging marketing isn’t easy.

You want to educate your audience and grow your brand, but the rules around what you can and can’t say often make your copy sound flat. ASA guidelines, EFSA regulations, FDA claims… it can feel like creativity and compliance don’t mix.

We understand because we’ve been there. That’s why we focus on helping supplement and functional food brands create compliance-informed copy and content that:

  • Builds trust with your audience

  • Stays aligned with regulatory frameworks

  • Supports sustainable growth without unnecessary risk

We can’t promise instant results, but we can promise careful, strategic content designed to work with the rules, not against them.


Our Story

Hi, I’m Victoria, a strategist, copywriter, and nutrition-trained thinker.

I actually fell into compliance marketing by accident. When I first began writing for supplement and functional food brands, I felt like everything I’d learned about effective copywriting had to be thrown out the window. My natural storytelling instincts didn’t fit into the strict ASA, EFSA, and FDA rules. Suddenly, anything remotely persuasive felt risky, and honestly, I nearly gave up on nutrition copywriting altogether.

But I stuck at it. I learned the frameworks inside out, discovered where creativity can still live within compliance, and built systems to make regulated copy sound engaging, educational, and trustworthy.

Now, we — my husband Richard and I — sit down over our morning coffee and solve this puzzle together. We focus on helping growing supplement and functional food brands communicate their value confidently and responsibly, with compliance always in mind.


Meet Richard

I handle the strategy and words; Richard keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

With a BSc in Pharmacology and 14 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, Richard brings a deep understanding of how ingredients work, how products are evaluated, and what regulators look for. Alongside managing our internal systems and operations, his scientific background adds another layer of insight to our work with supplement and functional food brands.

Together, we bring the best of both worlds:

  • Compliance-informed messaging that connects with your audience

  • Scientific and operational insight that supports clarity, accuracy, and efficiency
