The Work

Great Ingredients, Tough Taste

At Vivo Life, we use plant based ingredients in our supplements. While this is core to our values, it created a huge challenge when it came to taste.

Without relying on artificial sweeteners, fillers, or unnecessary additives, it was incredibly difficult to make our formulas taste great while staying true to our clean-label philosophy.

Flavours Meet Brand Values

Manon brought a structured, diligent, and science-led approach that helped us uncover exactly what was needed to overcome this challenge.

Manon's passion and deep knowledge of food science allowed us to test and refine natural solutions that we simply couldn’t have achieved on our own.

Manon guided us through a clear process that made decision-making much easier, removing a lot of biases, and always rooted in what was best for our brand.

From Frustration to Flavour Confidence

The flavour challenges that once felt impossible are now solved and feedback so far from customers is positive.

We are able to have more fun focusing on new flavours profiles rather than be stuck in circles trying to improve the broken flavours we had.

Bienvenue!

👋 I’m Manon Galizzi, the founder of EPICSI.

I take the worry out of food and drink product development, giving you clarity, confidence, and speed-to-market — while saving you wasted time and costly mistakes.

Whether you’re creating something new, choosing the right flavour direction, or fixing what isn’t working, my services meet you exactly where you are on your journey.

I’ve worked inside a flavour house, trained in flavour lexicons, and spent 10+ years in food science with leading brands like McVitie's. I don’t just make products taste “good enough” — I help you build products that win over buyers, delight consumers, and strengthen your brand reputation.
