Making supplement quality easier to assess
I lead design for SuppCo at Function Health, from product quality ratings to supplement and peptide routines.
- The challenge
- Help people assess product quality without making a rating feel like a brand recommendation.
- My contribution
- I lead design for product ratings, feature priorities, and tools for managing supplement routines.
- The result
- TrustScore connects ratings to their supporting detail across product discovery. Work on tracking routines continues.
In this project
A label does not explain quality
Supplement labels list ingredients and amounts, but give people little help judging product quality. SuppCo brings product information, quality ratings, and independent testing into one place.
I joined as a contractor in 2024 and later moved into a full-time role. I now lead design for SuppCo at Function Health.
Make the rating easy to inspect
TrustScore appears on product cards, search results, and comparisons. My work makes the score easy to read, with access to the reasons behind it. People need to inspect a rating before they can use it to make a decision.
The early app also had too many competing features. We examined user needs, focused work on the most useful features, and made those easier to find. Less-used features moved out of the main paths.
Make units and schedules clear
I also work on peptide tracking and dose calculation for people already managing these routines. Protocols, units, and schedules all need to be clear.
We began with a limited set of peptides and tested the flows with employees who had relevant experience. This kept the first version focused while we learned about the routines it needed to support.
Address structure early
The work continues. During the contract, I identified weaknesses in the design system and product structure. I waited too long to press for changes.
Some of those issues still need work. I would address them earlier next time, before more features depend on the same structure.
Designing support before and after therapy
Next projectI designed intention setting and voice journaling for ketamine therapy. Our three-person team shipped both flows in eight weeks.
