Boron + Magnesium + Vitamin D: often paired for bone/mineral metabolism support.
Cod Liver Oil: choose liquid vs softgel by tolerance; all options listed are naturally sourced vitamins A & D.
Proteolytic enzymes: take away from meals when using systemically.
Binders (charcoal): take away from meds/supplements.
Simple FAQs
How do I stack the magnesium forms safely?
Pick one primary oral form and add topical if needed. Adjust dose based on bowel tolerance and your target (sleep vs energy vs muscle function).
When should I take cod liver oil?
Once daily with food works for most. Amounts of vitamins A & D are listed above so you can fit them into your day.
Can I combine FUNDAMINOS™ with PURECLEAN PROTEIN™?
Yes. Use FUNDAMINOS™ around training or 20 minutes before meals; use PURECLEAN PROTEIN™ as a full protein serving to meet daily targets.
