Why Sawtooth

Why Sawtooth

Behind every Sawtooth product is a commitment to doing things the right way. From ingredient sourcing to manufacturing, scientific formulation, and the integrity that guides every decision. These four standards define how our supplements are built.

Ingredients in the supplement world come in three grades: feed, food, and pharmaceutical. Feed grade is the lowest quality and will vary greatly in color, texture, and even scent, making two different batches noticeably different. This results in an inconsistent product that can make animals turn their nose up at the next bucket you purchase. Unfortunately, many in the livestock supplement space utilize ingredients of this quality to cut corners and save money.

At Sawtooth Supplement Science, we strictly use food grade and pharmaceutical grade ingredients. This means our products are high enough quality to be found on grocery store shelves or inside a pill bottle at your local pharmacy. We refuse to cut corners and only accept the highest quality, most consistent product we can offer you.

All of our manufacturing is done locally, where quality can easily be monitored and jobs in the community are supported, as opposed to outsourcing to the cheapest option. All machinery is thoroughly cleaned between product runs, no banned or restricted substances are used in the facility, and the potential for any toxicity issues are eliminated by strict protocols.

Additionally, all rumen degradable active ingredients are encapsulated to ensure maximum delivery to the animal. We believe that you deserve the highest quality manufacturing backed by the tightest safeguards.

Science is in our name for a reason; it is what guides all decision-making surrounding product development! If we cannot find quality scientific literature to support an ingredient’s use, we won’t include it. If there is no relevant research to an ingredient being considered, we have no issue setting up third party research to test its effects in a specific area. Unfortunately, very few in this space operate with the same standards or background.

I have my Bachelor’s in Chemistry, minor in Biology, emphasis in Biochemistry, and my Master’s in Ruminant Nutrition. We believe that if someone doesn’t have the qualifications to be formulating your animals’ feed and supplements, you shouldn’t be using them! Science isn't just a buzzword; it's a cornerstone.

At the very core of who we are is integrity. We believe in doing the right thing at all times, regardless of whether it is the most profitable thing. If an order is fulfilled incorrectly, we will make it right immediately. Not satisfied with the product? Let us know and let’s see if we can help you have a more positive experience.

At the end of the day, this company was started as a direct result of my frustration with the greed found in this space and my desire to help families have a better experience feeding animals, both financially and with time spent.

Expert-Led Formulation

Sawtooth Supplement Science was founded by Caleb Johnston, whose academic background includes chemistry, biochemistry, and animal nutrition. Every formula is developed with a focus on supporting livestock health and performance through ingredients backed by credible scientific research.

That scientific training is paired with hands-on experience feeding and managing livestock. The goal has always been straightforward: create supplements built on real science and practical feeding programs, not trends or marketing claims.
