Based on 52-supplement protocol · adherent users · evidence grade B
"% improvement" = group median vs pre-stack baseline. Composite estimates from cited literature.
Pair with — diet, workout, activity
The supplement is half the lift. The rest is daily.
🍽️ Diet that fits
Whole foods, varied colours, sufficient protein (0.8–1.2 g/kg), fermented foods for microbiome health
Ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, excess alcohol, inflammatory seed oils
3 balanced meals with protein at each. Avoid eating within 2 hours of sleep.
🏋️ Workout that fits
Combination of aerobic (3×/week) and resistance training (2×/week)
Completely sedentary days — even 30 minutes of walking changes metabolic markers
Exercise and supplementation share many downstream pathways. One amplifies the other.
🚶 Activity & lifestyle
Daily sunlight exposure (15–20 minutes), adequate hydration (2–3L), stress-reduction practice
Processed food consumption, prolonged sitting, late-night screen time
7–9 hours sleep; all supplements work better with adequate rest.
Alternates — same goal, different toolkit
Pick supplements or these — not both without supervision.
