Dr Steven Compton named in the LDC top 50 most ambitious business leaders of 2025

We are proud to share that our Founder, Dr Steven Compton, was named one of the LDC top 50 most ambitious business leaders of 2025. This prestigious recognition highlights entrepreneurs who are reshaping their industries, driving exceptional growth and demonstrating true leadership. Steven’s inclusion reflects not only his personal ambition, but the scientific and operational excellence that is a core value here at DSC Nutrition.

From kitchen formulas to a leading UK manufacturer

Steven founded DSC Nutrition in 2014 following a career as a certified pharmacologist, carrying out over 15 years of medical and biological research. What began as a mission to create effective, scientifically validated supplement formulas has since evolved into one of the UK’s most reputable supplement manufacturing businesses.

His scientific background is the foundation of everything we produce. Customers value the fact that our formulations and production processes are rooted in evidence-based practice, supported by Steven’s ability to guide clients through formula development, label claims and regulatory expectations.

Our unique combination of scientific support and operational agility allows our clients to bring high-quality products to market quickly and confidently. This has been particularly important for ecommerce brands that need to respond at speed to market changes.

Under Steven’s leadership, we continue to scale our capabilities, with several recent developments including:

• New high-output powder and tablet/capsule pouch filling machines, placing DSC Nutrition among the most efficient pouch-filling facilities in the UK.

• A new 3000 ft² cleanroom, further enhancing production capacity and quality control.

• Specialisation in magnesium stearate–free tablets, aligning with the industry’s growing demand for clean label supplements.

These innovations demonstrate Steven’s commitment not only to growing the company, but to raising standards for the entire industry.

In 2026, we will also introduce a state-of-the-art Scientific Analysis facility that tests supplements at both the start and end of the manufacturing process. Uniquely, this service will be available not only to our clients but also to external supplement brands and suppliers, offering a new level of transparency and trust within the sector.

This investment reflects Steven’s ongoing ambition to push boundaries and empower brands with accurate, reliable data about their products.

Whether you’re scaling an established brand or developing a new formulation, DSC Nutrition can help you create scientifically backed, high-quality supplements with speed and precision. Get in touch with a member of the team to find out how we can support your product ambitions.
