FAQ

Q: What has changed from the previous version?

A: The new formula introduces a broader foundation by adding essential vitamins and minerals (Vitamin D3, K2, B6, B12, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper) that support hormone balance, cardiovascular health, and nutrient synergy.

On the botanical side, Shoden Ashwagandha was removed due to redundancy with CALM, but several powerful additions were made: Red Kwao Krua, Desert Ginseng (Cistanche), and higher standardizations in some extracts. The capsule composition has also been updated, now using dye-free vegetable capsules instead of gelatin with artificial colors.

Q: What are the biggest upgrades or additions?

A:

• Comprehensive nutrient base: Key vitamins and Albion minerals added to support testosterone, energy metabolism, and overall health.
• New botanicals: Red Kwao Krua and Desert Ginseng for enhanced vitality and libido.
• Cleaner formula design: Plant-based capsules with no artificial colorants.
• Synergistic extract standardizations: Stronger focus on bioactive compounds like alkylamides in Spilanthes and saponins in Fenugreek.

Q: Which ingredients stayed the same?

A:

• Bulbine natalensis (750mg) – cornerstone herb for testosterone and libido.
• Spilanthes acmella (750mg) – supports testosterone and nitric oxide signaling.
• Fenugreek seed extract (500mg) – improves free testosterone balance.
• Tongkat Ali (Longjack) (300mg) – endurance, stress modulation, and hormone support.
• DIM (100mg) – estrogen metabolism balance.
• Boron (10mg) – mineral that boosts free testosterone and bone health.
• Pregnenolone (10mg) – upstream hormone precursor.
• BioPerine (5mg) – enhances absorption of key actives.

Q: What was removed and why?

A: Shoden Ashwagandha (120mg): Removed in favor of expanding the nutrient/mineral base and introducing new botanicals like Red Kwao Krua and Desert Ginseng. The change reflects a shift toward a more comprehensive testosterone and vitality stack rather than a stress-adaptation emphasis.

Q: How do I best use this new formula?

A:

• Serving size: 6 vegetable capsules per day, ideally taken with food.
• Timing: Best taken in the morning or split across morning and early afternoon for sustained support.
• Lifestyle pairing: Works best when combined with consistent strength training, proper sleep, and a balanced diet.
