Greg “Mad Scientist 5150” Nikolettos – Supplement Innovator, Industry Veteran, and Co-Founder of Spawn BioSystems
After a six-year hiatus from the industry due to personal circumstances, Greg “Mad Scientist 5150” Nikolettos—the founder of PSI Distribution and BPM Labs—has returned to the field he lives and breathes.
Greg’s origins in the supplement world go back to 2005, where he started humbly—selling products out of the boot of his car. But they weren’t just any products. They were formulas he personally tested, researched, believed in, and trusted.
Inspired by industry legend Author L. Rea (ALR), Greg followed the philosophy of “products that work.” When Rea launched his supplement line, Greg became his national distributor—bringing hardcore, science-driven formulations to the Australian market and igniting a new era of performance-focused supplementation.
Disillusioned with the IT sector, Greg took a leap of faith. He buried himself in biochemical data, studied ingredient research, and personally trialed formulations with athletes, colleagues, and himself.
The result?
A distribution powerhouse anchored in results, innovation, and integrity.
Greg helped bring iconic brands to Australia, including:
- ALR Industries
- Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals
- Neogenix
- MusclePharm
- Myogenix
- TapOut
- BPM Labs
Through his direct relationships with elite labs such as Hi-Tech Pharma, Greg had rare access to cutting-edge ingredient research and real pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing—something few in the industry ever experience.
But everything changed when the TGA crackdown began. As the industry collapsed, Greg stepped back—waiting for the right time, the right science, and the right angle.
What he discovered changed everything. While deep in clinical data, he identified a massive gap:
Liposomal Delivery Systems—a technology used in medical and practitioner circles but almost completely absent in sports performance.
Liposomal delivery encapsulates nutrients in lipid layers, protecting them from digestive breakdown and dramatically improving absorption.
Traditional oral supplements often deliver 10–30% uptake.
Liposomal delivery can increase this by 300–1500%, depending on the ingredient.
Not hype.
Not marketing.
Just science.
Greg realized that dosage means nothing if your body can’t absorb it.
Thus came the mantra:
“Be Smart. Be Liposomal.”
Understanding the rigid Australian regulations, Greg engineered a brand built around delivery, absorption, and compliance, following 2.9.4 guidelines to the letter.
From this vision, Spawn Nutra—now Spawn BioSystems—was born.
A brand created not to chase trends, but to set the future of supplementation.
As the TGA tightens, AI empowers consumers, and the supplement market undergoes an evolution, Greg is right where he belongs—leading the shift toward smarter, clinically-driven, bioavailable supplementation.
