BioStar Formulator’s Corner

The BioStar Formulator’s Corner is where we go down the rabbit hole—exploring the science, research, and real-world experimentation behind food, plants, and functional ingredients used in animal health.

If you’ve ever wondered what truly goes into high-quality supplements for horses and dogs, this is where we break it down. From the purpose of individual ingredients to how specific combinations work together to support digestion, immunity, performance, and overall vitality, we aim to make formulation science more transparent and accessible. We also explore emerging innovations in equine and canine nutrition, helping you stay informed about what’s evolving in both natural and science-driven approaches to animal wellness.

At the center of this work is Tigger Montague, our founder and lead formulator, who shares in-depth insights drawn from years of research and hands-on experience. Our formulation process integrates multiple perspectives—including clinical studies, traditional and holistic practices, beta testing, palatability (taste) trials, and ongoing evaluation of ingredient sourcing and quality.

Why does this matter? Because the effectiveness of a supplement depends not just on what’s included, but how and why it’s formulated. Bioavailability, ingredient synergy, and real-world results all play a critical role in creating products that genuinely support animal health.

Through these articles, our goal is to provide transparency, education, and practical knowledge that empowers horse and dog owners to make more informed decisions. The ideas and research shared here directly shape our products and reflect the philosophy behind everything we create: thoughtful, evidence-informed formulations designed for the well-being of the animals themselves.
