Certified Problem Solver

Berg Nutrition is a verified, established B2B distributor (founded 2002) serving as the exclusive U.S. supplier for major European biotech firms like Bioibérica and Ferrer HealthTech. While the submission includes confusing user-input data (e.g., project name 'IronFang', erratic revenue figures), independent verification confirms significant real-world utility, a team of ~30 professionals, and a strong foothold in the nutraceutical supply chain. The score reflects high business solidity and traction, tempered by the low quality of the specific submission text.
