every ingredient in the stack, its dose, and the published research behind it. no proprietary blends, no fairy dust. where the evidence is still emerging or traditional, we say so.
doing this yourself means 10 to 15 separate bottles, guessed doses, and running out of half of them on different schedules. we turn that into one considered protocol, dosed to the levels used in the research, matched to where you are in your cycle or your day.
