How we choose and dose every ingredient
It is easy to build a supplement that looks impressive. List twenty ingredients, put the recognisable ones at the top, and never mention how much of each is actually present. The label reads like a lot. The capsule contains very little of anything.
Here is what we do instead, and the reasoning behind it.
Rule one: the dose has to match the research
An ingredient is not an active dose. If the published work on lutein was conducted at 10mg to 20mg daily, then 1mg of lutein in a capsule is not a smaller version of that benefit. It is a name on a label.
So for every active, we start from the amounts used in the literature and formulate to meet them, then work backwards to see what fits in a reasonable daily serving. That constraint is the reason our formula has twelve actives rather than thirty. Thirty ingredients at meaningful doses does not fit in a capsule anyone would want to swallow.
This is also why we publish every amount. If a company will not tell you the milligrams, there is usually a reason.
Rule two: no proprietary blends
A proprietary blend lets a manufacturer list ten ingredients and one combined weight. You are told the blend is 900mg. You are not told whether that is 890mg of the cheapest input and 10mg spread across the other nine.
The practice exists almost entirely to obscure dosing. We do not use it. Every active has its own line and its own number.
Rule three: the form has to be absorbable
Two products can list the same ingredient at the same weight and deliver very different amounts to your bloodstream.
- Named, studied materials where they exist. We use FloraGLO for lutein because it is the branded material behind a large share of the published research. Paying for it only makes sense if we tell you it is in there.
- Fat-soluble actives need fat. Lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, and vitamin A all absorb far better with dietary fat present. Formulating them alongside an omega base is deliberate, and it is why we tell you to take the serving with your largest meal rather than on an empty stomach.
- The better salt, not the cheaper one. Mineral forms differ meaningfully in absorption, and the cheaper form is usually cheaper for a reason.
What happens before a batch ships
Manufacturing runs in an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in the USA. Every production batch is tested by an independent laboratory for potency, microbial safety, and heavy metals.
The heavy metals testing is not a formality. Marine and botanical inputs are exactly where lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic show up. Our limits are set against Proposition 65 thresholds, which are stricter than the federal standard. A batch that misses does not ship.
If you want to see the Certificate of Analysis for the batch you received, email us the lot number on the bottle and we will send it.
What we will not claim
We are a supplement company. We are not treating, curing, or preventing disease, and any company in this category telling you otherwise is either misinformed or hoping you are.
What nutrition can do is support the structures involved: the tear film, the macular pigment, the circulation behind the retina. That is a real and worthwhile thing. It is also a slower and less dramatic thing than most marketing implies, which is why our own timelines talk in weeks and months rather than days.
