MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2026 / Nitches Inc. (OTCID:NICH) today announced that founder submissions have begun arriving for The Next 100 Blends, a national search for supplement concepts conducted through its NutraVeri platform. The search remains open, and founders can use NutraVeri's readiness score at no cost.

The initiative is designed for people who have built a formula around a need they know well: an entrepreneur developing a product, a creator responding to questions from an audience, a practitioner who recommends a combination of ingredients, or a trainer or athlete who has refined a supplement routine over time. A concept can be in development or already on the market.

"A promising formula does not have to arrive as a finished brand," said John Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Nitches Inc. "If you have a concept you believe in, start by scoring it. You can learn where it stands before deciding whether to submit it."

A starting point for founders

NutraVeri's free readiness score evaluates a concept across six dimensions. Founders can begin at nutraveri.com/formulate⁠ without a payment card or account. The score is an informational tool that can help identify questions to address as a product develops; it is not a determination that a product is ready for manufacture or sale.

Founders retain ownership of their submitted concepts. NutraVeri says it will not publish a submission without the founder's written consent. Additional information about its submission commitments is available at nutraveri.com/trust⁠.

What selection may include

Nitches plans to feature selected concepts one at a time, with each founder's written consent. A feature may introduce the founder and describe the concept's readiness profile. Selected founders may also be invited to explore NutraVeri's U.S. manufacturing pathway, which the Company says includes an FDA-registered facility operating under applicable dietary supplement current good manufacturing practice requirements and minimum order quantities starting at 2,500 units.

Through the Company's commercialization relationships, qualified products may be considered for preparation and presentation to national mass-market retail buyers. Selection is at the Company's discretion. A feature or invitation does not guarantee manufacturing acceptance, retail presentation, placement, purchase orders, or commercial success.

Founders can score a concept at nutraveri.com/formulate⁠, then email the scored concept and the story behind it to corporate@nutraveri.com for consideration.
