Protocol 32
Every dose published. Every rupee printed. The strongest human trial behind each one.
Thirty two actives.8.5 grams.One sachet a day.
01
1,500 mg
Minimum 99.9% purity
The instant battery, with magnesium. Creatine holds the charge your muscle and brain draw on in the first seconds of any effort, and vegetarians carry less of it than anyone.
Avgerinos 2018, Experimental Gerontology. Pooled trials: better short term memory and reasoning in healthy adults.
02
750 mg beadlet, 300 mg DHA
Water soluble, 40% DHA
The link the Oxford trial turned on. DHA is what brain cell membranes are largely built from, it keeps receptors soft enough for signals to land, and it helps the liver ship fat out rather than store it. On an Indian vegetarian plate it is close to absent.
Yurko-Mauro 2010, Alzheimer's and Dementia. 900 mg of DHA a day for six months improved memory and learning in healthy adults over 55.
03
700 mg
Free form amino acid, minimum 99%
Every third link in a collagen strand is glycine, and it is one of the two building blocks of glutathione, your repair antioxidant. Two chains, one amino acid.
Bannai 2012, Journal of Pharmacological Sciences. Glycine before bed improved sleep quality and cut next day fatigue.
04
695 mg, 174 mg magnesium
25% elemental
It releases the charge creatine holds, and the enzymes that switch vitamin D into its active form need it.
Abbasi 2012, Journal of Research in Medical Sciences. Eight weeks of magnesium improved insomnia severity, sleep time and sleep efficiency in older adults.
Carbonate, because chelated forms such as magnesium bisglycinate are not yet on the FSSAI permitted list for this category.
05
500 mg
Betaine anhydrous, trimethylglycine, minimum 99%
The second route for clearing homocysteine, and a spare for choline in packaging fat out of the liver.
Olthof 2003, Journal of Nutrition. Betaine lowered fasting homocysteine in healthy men and women within two weeks and held it for six.
06
500 mg, about 200 mg choline
Coated, minimum 97%
Choline is what one of the brain's main messengers is made of, what your body makes TMG from, and the packaging fat needs to leave the liver. Eggs are the main food source, and most Indian plates do not have them.
Fischer 2007, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Taken off choline, most healthy men developed fatty liver or muscle damage within weeks. Given it back, both reversed.
07
400 mg
N-acetyl-L-cysteine, film coated, minimum 98%
The rate limiting building block of glutathione. Your body cannot make more glutathione than it has cysteine, and NAC is how you give it cysteine safely.
Kumar 2023, Journals of Gerontology. NAC with glycine for sixteen weeks restored glutathione, lowered oxidative stress and inflammation, and improved physical function in adults aged 61 to 80.
08
300 mg
Withania somnifera root only, minimum 2.5% withanolides
Lower cortisol and easier sleep, with no sedation and no tolerance, which is why it can be taken every day where rhodiola and valerian cannot.
Chandrasekhar 2012, Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine. Sixty days of root extract cut perceived stress scores by 44 per cent and serum cortisol by 28 per cent.
09
300 mg, 90 mg curcuminoids
Water soluble, minimum 30% total curcuminoids
One of the four ingredients that cover the several paths a joint fire burns along, and a background anti-inflammatory for skin, heart and liver. Water soluble, so no piperine is needed to absorb it.
Cox 2015, Journal of Psychopharmacology. A high absorption curcumin improved working memory and mood in healthy adults aged 60 to 85, within an hour and again at four weeks.
10
250 mg
Acacia senegal gum arabic
It carries the actives so every sachet is the same sachet. It claims nothing of its own.
None claimed. Prebiotic effects of gum arabic appear at 5 to 10 g a day, twenty times this amount, and we will not borrow them.
11
250 mg
Boswellia serrata, AKBA enriched extract, 20% AKBA
It blocks the inflammatory path turmeric does not reach, 5-LOX, and it is the fastest acting of the four joint ingredients.
Sengupta 2008, Arthritis Research and Therapy. Ninety days of an AKBA enriched extract reduced knee pain, improved function, and lowered MMP-3, the enzyme that degrades cartilage, in joint fluid.
12
250 mg, 200 mg silymarin
Silybum marianum, 80% silymarin
The liver's traditional protective herb, with a clean safety record over decades of daily use and a stabilising effect on liver cell membranes.
Silymarin meta-analysis 2017, Medicine. In people with fatty liver, silymarin lowered ALT and AST more than control.
13
200 mg
Panax quinquefolius root, minimum 10% ginsenosides
Working memory and calm alertness in the same dose, without the stimulation, and with fewer drug interactions in the literature than the Asian species.
Scholey 2010, Psychopharmacology. American ginseng improved working memory and self rated calmness in healthy adults within hours.
14
200 mg, 80 mg bacosides
Whole plant, minimum 40% bacosides
The Ayurvedic memory herb with the best controlled evidence, and one of the few that works with daily use rather than fading.
Kongkeaw 2014, Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Nine trials pooled: bacopa improved attention and speed of processing, and took twelve weeks to do it.
15
200 mg
Minimum 95% phospholipids
It lets the fat soluble actives disperse in water so they can be absorbed. Without it, several of the actives above would sit on top of the glass.
None claimed. It is a carrier.
16
100 mg
Minimum 98% L-isomer
The compound in green tea that makes caffeine feel smooth, taken without the caffeine. Calm attention, not sedation.
Hidese 2019, Nutrients. Four weeks of L-theanine reduced stress related symptoms and improved sleep and cognition in healthy adults.
17
100 mg
Ubiquinone, minimum 99%
The middle of the energy production line, and the one part of it your body makes less of every year. Heart tissue holds more of it than anything else in the body.
Mortensen 2014, JACC Heart Failure, the Q-SYMBIO trial. Two years of CoQ10 on top of standard treatment roughly halved major cardiac events in heart failure patients.
18
100 mg
Zingiber officinale, water soluble, minimum 5% gingerols
Faster stomach emptying after a meal, and the third of the four joint ingredients.
Wu 2008, European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Ginger sped up stomach emptying in healthy volunteers.
19
100 mg
Water soluble, 5:1 ratio
Together they form the pigment at the centre of the retina that filters the blue light which damages it. Zeaxanthin holds the centre, lutein the ring around it, and the filter is only complete with both.
Stringham 2017, Foods. Six months of the two carotenoids gave people spending long hours on screens less eye strain, less eye fatigue and fewer headaches.
20
65 mg
Sodium ascorbate
The enzyme that sets collagen cannot run without it, and it hands vitamin E back its charge in the antioxidant relay. Indian cooking destroys much of the vitamin C on the plate.
Hemilä 2013, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Taken every day, vitamin C shortened adults' colds by about eight per cent.
21
35 mg, 10.5 mg zinc
30% elemental
Immune cells, skin renewal and the retina all need it, and the phytates in dal lock up most of the zinc dal contains. Citrate, because it absorbs as well as gluconate and better than oxide (Wegmüller 2014).
Prasad 2007, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A year of zinc cut infection rates and oxidative stress markers in older adults.
22
25 mg
Lactase, protease and amylase
They cut milk sugar, protein and starch into pieces small enough to absorb, which matters most after a heavy Indian lunch.
None claimed. There is no outcome trial on this blend, and we will not quote one that does not exist.
23
20 mg, 2 billion CFU
MTCC 5856, spore form
A spore forming probiotic, so it survives stomach acid and reaches the intestine alive, at the exact strain and count that was trialled.
Majeed 2016, Nutrition Journal. Ninety days of this strain reduced bloating, abdominal pain and stool frequency in people with irritable bowels.
24
15 mg
Crocus sativus stigma, 1% safranal
Sleep quality and steadier mood, with the eye's carotenoids as a bonus; crocin is one of them.
Pachikian 2021, Nutrients. Six weeks of saffron extract in the evening improved sleep quality against placebo.
25
12 mg
Natural astaxanthin
The carotenoid that gives salmon its colour, and the strongest of the antioxidants that sit inside a cell membrane. Skin, eyes and brain all get it.
Tominaga 2017, Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition. Sixteen weeks of astaxanthin protected skin elasticity and moisture against seasonal decline.
26
10 mg
Natural mixed tocopherols
The antioxidant that works inside the fat layer, where water based protection cannot reach. It takes the hit, and vitamin C recharges it.
None at this dose, and the high dose trials are a different product. Traber 2007, Free Radical Biology and Medicine, is the reference for how it works.
27
6 mg, 0.84 mg copper
14% elemental
To prevent a harm rather than deliver a benefit. Zinc taken for years without matching copper causes copper deficiency, and copper also closes the energy production line and cross links collagen. Copper is in this formula because zinc is.
None claimed. This one is textbook mineral balance, not a trial claim.
28
600 IU, 15 mcg
Cholecalciferol from lichen, 6 mg of a 100 IU per mg premix
It switches immune cells on, once magnesium has converted it. Same sun, less made every year, and most Indians test low despite the sun.
Jolliffe 2021, Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology. Pooled data from 43 trials: daily vitamin D gave the clearest protection against respiratory infections.
29
1.9 mg
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate
The co-factor for the route that clears homocysteine after meals, for building red blood cells, and for the enzymes that make serotonin and dopamine. In the active form, so no conversion is needed.
None at this dose, and we will not borrow one from a higher dose.
30
1.9 mg
Riboflavin
The switch that starts the energy production line, converts folate into its usable form, keeps the B12 enzyme running, and recharges glutathione after every use. Eight pillars, the most of any active. It also turns urine bright yellow; that is riboflavin, not a problem.
McNulty 2006, Circulation. Twelve weeks of riboflavin lowered homocysteine by 22 per cent in people carrying the MTHFR variant, whose folate enzyme runs slow without it.
31
220 mcg
Pteroylglutamic acid
It carries the tag that clears homocysteine, and red blood cells cannot be built without it. Riboflavin, above, is what switches it into the form your body uses.
Homocysteine Lowering Trialists 2005, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Pooled trials: 0.2 mg of folic acid a day lowered homocysteine by about 13 per cent, 0.4 mg by about 20, and doses above that added little.
32
2.5 mcg
Hydroxocobalamin
Almost no plant food has it, and Indian studies find between half and seven in ten vegetarian adults running low. It hands homocysteine over for clearing, and red blood cells need it.
Deshmukh 2010, European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In Pune, a year of low dose B12 lowered homocysteine by a mean 5.9 μmol/L in 300 adults; a five times larger dose did no better.
No actives match this filter.
What the 32 cost us
Flavour and sweetener, 907 mg, extra and declared in full on the pack. None of it is here to do anything to your body.
