About Me
Dr Claudia Gravaghi is a Nutritional Scientist, Clinical Nutritionist, Pharmacist and Nutraceutical Formulator with more than 20 years of international experience across academic research, clinical nutrition and product development.
She holds a degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technology from the University of Milan and completed a PhD in Experimental and Clinical Nutrition. Her doctoral research was subsequently published in the Journal of Nutrition.
After completing a European Union postdoctoral fellowship, Claudia moved to New York to pursue research in nutrition and cancer prevention at the Strang Cancer Prevention Center, affiliated with Rockefeller University. She later received a career development fellowship from the US National Institutes of Health and joined Weill Cornell Medical College at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where her research examined the relationship between obesity, nutrition and breast cancer.
In 2008, Claudia moved to London and expanded her work from academic research into clinical and applied nutrition. She registered as a pharmacist with the UK General Pharmaceutical Council and completed further training in Nutritional Therapy at the British College of Nutrition and Health.
Her work in leading holistic pharmacies, including Nelsons and The Organic Pharmacy, gave her extensive practical experience with nutritional supplements, medicinal herbs and personalised herbal preparations. Observing how ingredient quality, dosage, delivery format and individual physiology influenced real-world outcomes became the foundation of her work as a nutraceutical formulator.
Today, Claudia works between London and Milan, supporting nutraceutical brands, ingredient suppliers and product development teams. She combines nutritional biochemistry, clinical evidence, formulation science and product strategy to develop supplements and functional nutrition products that are scientifically robust, biologically coherent, commercially viable and clearly differentiated.
Her work spans the full product development process, including competitor analysis, ingredient research, dosage strategy, formulation design, scientific substantiation, claims assessment and communication.
She also brings a deep understanding of the behavioural and psychological factors that influence health, allowing her to approach product development with both scientific precision and a human-centred perspective.
In this video in Italian with EN subs, I share a relaxed and evidence-based discussion on the current status of GLP-1 drugs, the growing interest in natural alternatives, and the broader metabolic and nutritional revolution taking place.
"Dr. Claudia Gravaghi is a remarkably knowledgeable and talented formulator with whom we have been delighted to work with for over a decade now. The products we have made in collaboration with her are always well-considered and highly effective. To this day, we are always eager to hear her latest insights and research, and notwithstanding her peerless expertise in the nutritional and physiological effects of countless ingredients, she is a pleasure to work with as a person. I am happy to recommend Dr Claudia’s services to anyone looking to develop first-rate formulations.”
