Team

Calloway Cook is the founder and President of Illuminate Labs.

He started this company as a frustrated consumer of dietary supplements. Calloway was taking supplements to alleviate high blood pressure, but couldn't get a single company to send an up-to-date test result of the product they were selling. He was concerned with the purity of the products he was consuming daily. After hearing many people online and in-person voicing the same concerns, he decided to launch Illuminate Labs as the solution to the transparency and safety issues in the dietary supplements industry.
