Stone & Sage Nutrition
FORMULATION & INNOVATION
Science that travels across species and translates into practical product decisions.
Where Science Becomes Strategy
Good science does not automatically become a successful product. It has to pass through formulation realities, species-specific needs, regulatory considerations, and commercial expectations. That transition is where many teams lose time and confidence.
Dr. Boyer helps teams make that transition with clarity. Her multi-species expertise across pet, livestock, and equine means she does not approach formulation through a single-species lens. Her executive background means she understands what the business needs the science to do and not just what is scientifically possible.
What We Help With
Concept Refinement
Sharpen product ideas before time and resources are committed too far downstream.
Ingredient & Sourcing Strategy
Evaluate ingredients and formulation choices with an eye toward performance, feasibility, regulatory defensibility, and market fit.
Gut Health & Post-Antibiotic Readiness
Support teams building nutrition solutions for a post-antibiotic landscape with science-backed, species-aware thinking that holds up under scrutiny.
Innovation Pipeline Support
Map opportunity areas and help teams prioritize where science and market need intersect before resources are committed to the wrong direction.
WHAT GRAIN & GRACE CONSULTING BRINGS TO FORMULATION WORK
Dr. Boyer brings technical depth in animal nutrition, multi-species formulation logic, and the practical judgment of someone who has evaluated these decisions from both a scientific and executive vantage point. She can translate complex formulation science for leadership, regulatory teams, and commercial partners without losing accuracy or credibility.
On innovation projects where consumer insight and market validation are part of the scope, Emily of Stone & Sage Insights brings the commercialization and consumer perspective.
