Why a Routine Beats Loose Good Intentions

A supplement only works if you take it, and you only take it if it's attached to something you already do. That's not a motivation problem but a design problem: the less you have to remember and decide, the greater the chance it's still standing a year from now.

A good supplement routine has three properties. It's small: two to five formulas, not ten. It's tied to an existing anchor: breakfast, lunch, the end of the day. And it's internally consistent: no double nutrients you have to calculate yourself, no formulas that are each other's alternative.

That last point is exactly why we compose our bundles ourselves instead of selling you a box of loose bottles. Every routine is built so the parts complement each other within the recommended dosages.

Our Four Routines at a Glance

Every routine is available individually or as a subscription with 10% off each delivery.

How to Choose Your Routine

One moment or the whole day? If you're just starting, pick one anchor. THE ESSENTIALS and THE MORNING RITUAL are both two formulas with one meal: small enough never to forget. THE COMPLETE RITUAL is for those who want structure across the whole day.

Which moment is most stable for you? The routine belongs to the moment you skip least. If that's breakfast, choose the morning. If lunch is your fixed point, choose the day.

What do you already use? A routine alongside existing supplements requires one check: overlap. See the combining rules below.

What's in the Routines

CORTEX (morning) combines a probiotic formula with botanicals and vitamin B6 and B12. Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

SHIELD (morning) delivers vitamin D3 and K2 in one softgel. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

CORE (day) delivers the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA with natural vitamin E. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.

ECLIPSO (day) combines astaxanthin with natural vitamin E. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

DUSK (evening) delivers magnesium with taurine, B6 and D3. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.

FORGE is deliberately not part of the routines: it's our daytime magnesium product, and the alternative to DUSK. If you'd rather take your magnesium during the day, order FORGE separately and leave DUSK out.

Combining and Expanding Routines

Every routine is internally consistent by design. If you expand with individual products, know three rules.

Magnesium: always one. FORGE and DUSK both contain magnesium and are alternatives to each other. Never together.

Add up overlapping vitamins. Within THE COMPLETE RITUAL, vitamin D3 is in both SHIELD and DUSK, B6 in both CORTEX and DUSK, and vitamin E in both CORE and ECLIPSO. That's composed within the recommended dosages; if you add something yourself, count it in.

The label always wins. When in doubt, follow the dosage per product, not your own arithmetic.

What to know beforehand:

• Use each product according to the label.
• CORE contains fish and bovine gelatin, SHIELD and ECLIPSO contain bovine gelatin, ECLIPSO contains soy.
• If you take medication or have a medical condition, discuss supplement use with a doctor or pharmacist first.

What this isn't for: a routine provides structure, but treats nothing. Supplements are an addition to a varied diet and healthy lifestyle, not a replacement. If complaints persist, your doctor is the right first step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Supplement Routines

What makes a good supplement routine?

Small, tied to a fixed moment, and internally consistent: no double nutrients and no formulas that are each other's alternative. Two formulas you take every day beat five you forget.

Which routine is the best starting point?

THE ESSENTIALS or THE MORNING RITUAL: both two formulas with one meal. Starting small and keeping it up beats starting big and stopping.

What's in THE COMPLETE RITUAL?

CORTEX and SHIELD for the morning, CORE and ECLIPSO for the day, and DUSK for the evening: five formulas covering the whole day together.

Why isn't FORGE part of the routines?

FORGE and DUSK both contain magnesium and are alternatives to each other. DUSK is the magnesium product in our routines; if you prefer FORGE, order it separately.

Can I expand a routine with individual products?

Yes. Just check for overlap in vitamin D3, B6 and E, and stick to one magnesium product.

Can I order a routine as a subscription?

Yes, every routine is available as a subscription with 10% off each delivery. The routine keeps running without you having to think about it.

When do I take the parts of my routine?

At that routine's anchor: morning formulas with breakfast, day formulas with lunch, DUSK at a fixed moment in the evening.

Are supplements in a routine a replacement for a healthy diet?

No. They're an addition to a varied diet and healthy lifestyle, not a replacement.
