[Science Narration](https://www.melimethods.com/science-narration?hsLang=en) [The MeLicules File](https://www.melimethods.com/melicules-file?hsLang=en) [About](https://www.melimethods.com/about?hsLang=en) [Start](https://www.melimethods.com/start?hsLang=en)

The health and wellness industry needs to rebuild trust with their consumers by explaining the evidence behind their product honestly, in a way that you can understand.

It takes a scientist to read the evidence and a teacher to make it land. That work has a name.

Science Narration, *by MeLi MeThoDS*

# Two jars.Same shelf.

Yours has human data behind it. The other one has four words on the label. Your customer cannot tell them apart.

The work is already done. The bridge to your customer is the part that has not been built. You can be the one who builds it.

Build it with a gate on it, and you are the one who opens it for them.

[See a real MeLicules File](https://www.melimethods.com/melicules-file?hsLang=en) [Start](https://www.melimethods.com/start?hsLang=en)

Read and assembled by a biochemist. **Ten years reading pharmaceutical data for a living, four of them in parenteral manufacturing quality, and a master's in chemistry and chemical biology.** That is the standard your literature gets read to.

The gap

Your customer wants to understand the label. More of them every year.

58%

of US shoppers say they read labels most of the time. Among health-focused shoppers it is 87%.

Acosta Group, n = 1,083, September 2025

20 to 30%

more is what Gen Z and Millennials say they would pay for ingredients they trust.

Ingredion, 2025

They are reading. What they find is up to you.

The AI question

## Your customer is not as impressed as you think.

**76% of Americans say they care if marketing was made by AI.** More than half are unsure that they can tell the difference.

So they doubt all of it. If you use AI, do not hide that. Simply show them the human scientist who read, checked, and is now narrating the story.

Pew Research Center, n = 5,023 US adults, June 2025. A separate industry survey put the distance between the two rooms in figures: 82% of ad executives thought young shoppers felt good about AI-made ads, against 45% of those shoppers who said they did. IAB, n = 505 US consumers aged 16 to 43 and 104 ad executives, January 2026.

The science already exists. You paid for it.

What is missing is the version your customer can follow.

After a decade in biotech, I spent a year with your customers learning what they were actually looking for.

I sat in the doctor's visits. I stood at your customer's medicine cabinets, explaining each supplement. I read lab reports with the person they belong to. Those rooms are where I learned what your customer cares about, and what they can understand.

Now I'm offering that back to you, so we can steward the work that is healing together.

The MeLicules File

## The studies behind your product are written for other scientists.

So we start with the story. **A script or a story, whichever one you want**, written from the reading and sitting at the front of the file.

Then the file underneath it, one subject at a time.

[What is in a file](https://www.melimethods.com/melicules-file?hsLang=en)

The evidence behind the story

- **What it is.** Small molecule, peptide or protein, and what that difference means for how a body handles it
- **What it does.** The mechanism, and the pathways in the body it touches
- **The human studies.** How much human data there is, and who ran them
- **The research that cuts against it**

Every study used is tagged the same nine ways, so you can see which findings are load bearing without taking anyone's word for it.

What it costs

## What a file costs.

One subject is the unit. The rest is built on top of it.

The file

One subject

$1,000

- The story at the front
- The evidence behind it, in the four parts above
- Every study tagged the same nine ways
- The research that cuts against you

7 to 10 hours of specialist reading per subject

The file and the script

One subject, ready to film

$1,200

- Everything in the file
- A script your marketing team can run with, in both lengths: two to three minutes, and thirty to sixty seconds
- An exploratory creative session
- A creative revision session

7 to 10 hours of specialist reading per subject

Told three ways

The file, the script and the video

One subject, filmed

$1,400

- Everything in the file and the script
- Both script lengths, two to three minutes and thirty to sixty seconds
- A video recorded and edited here, with your brand and your product in it. You pick which length I film
- An exploratory creative session
- A creative revision session
- One recut if you want something changed

7 to 10 hours of specialist reading per subject

**Seven to ten hours of specialist reading per subject, spent in the primary literature by a pharmaceutical scientist.**

This role is not on most org charts yet, and more companies are starting to write one, because it goes beyond just the science and just the marketing. You can fill the gap without adding the headcount, and without the ramp that comes with it.

You already have the story

### Your story, checked, and a video

$700

You already wrote the story. Send it with the evidence behind it. I read that evidence the way I would read it for a file of my own, and if it holds, I make the video. This is creator work, the kind a brand buys as UGC, with the difference that the science gets checked before the camera turns on. It includes an exploratory creative session, a creative revision session, and one recut if you want something changed. Two to three minutes, or thirty to sixty seconds, whichever you want.

**If the evidence does not hold, I say so and I do not make the video.** You are told what did not hold and why, at no charge. From there you can go and get better evidence, or buy one of the three above and have the reading done properly.

**A subject** is one active ingredient, one analyte or assay on a test panel, or one composition profile. It is what the file is built around, and it is the unit the price is set on. Returning clients take 15% off every file after the first. If a subject needs more reading than the hours held, I tell you before I go past them, in writing, at $250 an hour, and you can also take the file as it stands. A MeLicules File is not regulatory review, not claim clearance and not legal advice.

What you keep

## The file is yours.

You keep it whether or not we work together again. What you do with it is your decision. If there is research that cuts against you, it is in there in the same format as the rest. If you are doing something different to combat the research that cuts against you, that is in there too. A story telling only the good parts is just another advertisement, and a reader can feel the difference.

The file behind the video above is on this site with no form in front of it. A complete MeLicules File on green tea catechin, where the favourable lipid finding and the unfavourable one are printed in the same size, in the same table. That is the house rule, not an editorial choice about that ingredient.

Start

## Pick one ingredient.

Send me the one you're thinking of, and I'll come back with a straight answer. Find out whether the literature behind that ingredient is worth a file.

- That answer is the read, not the research itself
- No charge, no call, no follow up unless you ask for one

[Send one ingredient](https://www.melimethods.com/start?hsLang=en) [See a file first](https://www.melimethods.com/melicules-file?hsLang=en)

You already know which ingredient it would be.

The MeLicules File is not regulatory review, not claim clearance, and not legal advice. It is not a guarantee that any statement is permissible, and it is not a promise of completeness. What ships is the client's decision and their counsel's.
