The science

What's in it, and why.

Every ingredient, every dose, and the reason it is in the formula - written plainly, with nothing hidden. No proprietary blends, no marketing milligrams.

Dosage

Clinical doses, not marketing milligrams

We dose to the amounts used in the research - not the trace amounts that let a label list an ingredient. These are the headline doses.

Our approach

How we formulate

Four rules we hold every formula to. None of them is a health claim - they are how the product is built.

  • 01

    Clinically-relevant doses

    We dose to the amounts used in the research, not the trace amounts that let a label list an ingredient. No marketing milligrams.

  • 02

    No fillers or bulking agents

    No binders, no bulking agents, no flow agents to pad the capsule. What is in the capsule is the formula.

  • 03

    No artificial additives

    No artificial colours, no artificial flavours, no artificial preservatives.

  • 04

    Full disclosure

    Every active and its exact dose is printed on the label and listed on this page. No proprietary blends hiding the amounts.

Full transparency

Every formula, every dose

Three formulas, each built for one job. Here is exactly what is in each one - the active, the form we chose, and the dose. Product names are being finalised.

Why the form matters

The form of a nutrient affects how well it is absorbed and tolerated. We choose these forms for that reason - not the cheapest option.

  • Magnesium and zinc delivered as bisglycinate, chelated to the amino acid glycine
  • Vitamins B6 and B12 delivered as the active P5P and methylcobalamin forms
  • Black pepper extract included as Bioperine (95% piperine), an absorption aid for the other actives

Doses are per daily serving as set out in the formulation. Form and standardisation are stated for each active. What these nutrients are permitted to claim is covered below.

What we can say

Claims, the honest way

UK rules only allow specific, authorised wording for what a nutrient does - and only for certain vitamins and minerals, not botanicals. We will only ever use the exact approved wording, verified before launch. Everything below is pending that check.

  • COMPLIANCE-CHECK: authorised claim wording

    Magnesium Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function.

  • COMPLIANCE-CHECK: authorised claim wording

    Zinc Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails.

  • COMPLIANCE-CHECK: authorised claim wording

    Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

  • COMPLIANCE-CHECK: authorised claim wording

    Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

  • COMPLIANCE-CHECK: authorised claim wording

    Vitamin C Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.

  • COMPLIANCE-CHECK: authorised claim wording

    Biotin Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

COMPLIANCE-CHECK: conditions of use Each statement may be used only when the product provides a significant amount of that nutrient (at least 15% of the NRV per serving). This must be confirmed per formula before publishing.

On the botanicals

Ashwagandha, lion's mane, rhodiola, tart cherry and L-theanine carry no authorised health claims in Great Britain. So we make none. On this site they are described by form, standardisation, and dose only - never by effect.

Quality

How it is made and checked

The dose only matters if the bottle actually contains it. Here is the path from raw ingredient to a report you can ask for, and what the formulas leave out.

  1. SourcedStandardised, branded actives where the form matters.
  2. FormulatedDosed to clinically-relevant amounts. No fillers, binders or bulking agents.
  3. Third-party testedEvery batch is checked by an independent laboratory before it is released.
  4. Certificate of AnalysisEach batch maps to its own report via the code on the bottle. [COMPLIANCE-CHECK: confirm the QR / batch-lookup mechanism is live]

Manufactured to [STANDARD - founder to confirm, e.g. GMP] in [FACILITY/COUNTRY - confirm].

Tested every batch

  • Ingredient identity - the active is what the label says
  • Ingredient potency - the dose matches the label
  • Heavy metals
  • Microbial contamination

Decide for yourself

Read the label. Then decide.

The dose is on the label, the report is a scan away, and the reasoning is on this page. That is the whole pitch.
