Short definitions for the ingredients we use. This isn’t medical advice — talk to your clinician, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or on prescription medication.
Withania somnifera root extract
Root-only, full-spectrum extract standardized to withanolides — the form used in the majority of published trials on stress and sleep outcomes.
── Not: leaf powder sold as “full spectrum” without standardization
Adenosyl + methyl forms
The bioactive coenzyme form — no cyanide carrier, no conversion step for most users. Often paired with folate for methylation support.
── Not: cyanocobalamin-only megadoses without context
Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate
Active form used in enzymatic reactions for neurotransmitter synthesis and homocysteine metabolism.
Methyl donor support
Supports phospholipid synthesis; common in prenatal stacks alongside methylfolate and DHA.
Omega-3 from algae
Fish-free long-chain omega-3 for those avoiding marine oils — potency stated as mg DHA per serving.
Methylfolate
Bypasses MTHFR conversion; appropriate for prenatal and homocysteine-focused formulas vs. synthetic folic acid alone.
── Not: “folic acid” marketed as if identical to tissue-ready folate
Ferrochel® / gentle iron
Chelated ferrous iron with lower GI upset vs. ferrous sulfate in many trials — still requires monitoring of ferritin with a clinician.
── Not: 65 mg elemental iron “because the label looks strong”
Ixoreal Biomed
Named extract with batch traceability — we print supplier and extract type on the label where space allows.
Amino acid chelate
Well-absorbed form for those who tolerate glycine — often used for relaxation stacks; dose matters more than the trend cycle.
See Folate
Preferred active folate in our prenatal-adjacent formulas; dose aligned to clinical references, not label padding.
