Founded in 2003 by Melonie
Montgomery, Fenestra Research Labs (FRL) was originally established as a
BTC (business to consumer) company, with the launch
of its proprietary technology, The Optimal Wellness
Test (OWT). The OWT was able to identify and measure 34 clinical markers in human
physiology to a very high degree of accuracy, and
conclude the level of “wellness” exhibited by
individual clients with specific recommendations for
improving areas of concern.
Individual demand for the OWT test continued to grow
through 2003 and 2004, and FRL also experienced
increasing demand from supplementation manufacturers
to utilize its technology to conduct empirical
studies and verify the efficacy claims of specific
supplements.
During this time, FRL was able to assist many
manufacturers support product claims by creating
verifiable, repeatable evidence through double-blind
human clinical trials. FRL was also called upon to
suggest product formulation changes to correct
and/or improve client wellness levels.
By mid 2005, FRL had not only significantly enhanced
its BTC testing revenues, but had also concluded
many successful product research studies and
captured many satisfied manufacturer clients.
FRL research documentation continues
to enhance manufacturer market position with
persuasive, conclusive, and inspiring evidence
provided by state-of-the-art science. While
comparable human clinical studies can often run into
the $200,000 to $400,000 range (a cost that is
usually prohibitive to most supplementation
manufacturers), the FRL strategic marketing
advantage is that their studies can cost as little
as $30,000, by far the most cost-effective clinical
trials available in the marketplace today.
In 2006 FRL intends to focus on the growth of its
product research division through aggressive
industry marketing throughout the USA in print,
internet, radio and TV media with the possible
expansion into international markets by the end of
2006.
