Same stack, three commitment levels.
~80% of the stack benefit at moderate cost..The core combination — covers the main mechanisms.
Full mechanism + edge-case redundancy..Comprehensive coverage of every documented pathway.
Recovery from illness (flu, COVID, surgery, hospitalization) loses muscle mass and depletes nutritional reserves faster than people realize. This stack rebuilds protein synthesis (whey + leucine), restores micronutrient status (zinc + D3 + B-complex), and supports mitochondrial recovery (CoQ10 + L-carnitine).
What it's for
Adults recovering from significant illness, surgery, or hospitalization. Long-COVID symptoms.
Not for:Active disease needs medical management first. Not a substitute for physical therapy where indicated.

What you'll experience
Typical adherent user · use as a guide, not a guarantee.
Foundation phase
Your body is beginning to load the active compounds. Fat-soluble nutrients (D3, K2, omega-3) accumulate gradually.
Adaptation
Enzymatic pathways shift. Cellular concentrations of key nutrients reach therapeutic thresholds.
Primary effects
The core benefits of this stack are measurable. Energy, mood, or the stack's primary target markers begin improving.
Sustained benefit
Consistent supplementation has rebuilt depleted stores and established new baselines. Maintenance doses apply.
Expected improvement with Post-Illness Recovery
Based on 8-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
