The Science
Six ingredients. A lifetime of evidence.
We didn't build Elemental 6 around trends. We built it around the research — decades of peer-reviewed science pointing to the same six nutrients, over and over again.
The case for six
Most supplement routines are too long. Dozens of products. Overlapping ingredients. No clear reason for most of them.
The Elemental 6 stack is different. It covers six nutrients that most adults are low in, that research consistently supports, and that work better together than apart.
Nothing is added to impress. Nothing is left out that matters. This page explains the evidence behind every decision.
Omega-3 · 2,000mg combined EPA+DHA
Most people eat too much of the wrong fat.
The modern diet averages 15:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3. The target is 4:1.
That gap drives low-grade inflammation throughout the body, in joints, arteries, and the brain. EPA and DHA are the only Omega-3s the body can use directly. Plant sources like flaxseed provide ALA, which converts at less than 10% efficiency. Direct supplementation is the only reliable way to close the gap. Our formula is weighted toward EPA, the fraction most consistently linked to anti-inflammatory outcomes in clinical research.

Vitamin D3 + K2 · 5,000IU D3 + 100mcg K2 MK7
Vitamin D is not a vitamin. It's a hormone.
40% of adults are deficient. Most don't know it.
Indoor work, sunscreen, and high-latitude living all reduce skin synthesis. D3 helps the body absorb calcium. But calcium needs a delivery system. K2, specifically MK-7, activates proteins that direct calcium to bone and away from soft tissue. Without K2, calcium absorbed through D3 supplementation can end up in arteries instead of where it belongs. The two compounds are designed to work together. Supplementing one without the other is an incomplete equation.

Magnesium Glycinate · 400mg Elemental Magnesium
More body processes depend on magnesium than almost any other mineral.
Over 300 enzymatic reactions require it. Most people are chronically low.
Magnesium regulates muscle contraction, nerve signals, blood glucose control, and protein synthesis. Processed food strips it out. Stress burns through it. Most people never replace what they lose. Poor sleep is both a cause and a symptom of magnesium deficiency, the two feed each other. Glycinate is the most absorbable form and the least likely to cause the digestive side effects common with cheaper forms like oxide or sulfate.

"The goal wasn't to build the longest formula. It was to build the most useful one."
Each compound in the Elemental 6 stack was chosen because it addresses a gap most people have, not because it sounds impressive on a label.
Vitamin B Complex · Active Methylated B Vitamins
B vitamins are spent, not stored.
All eight are water-soluble. The body uses them daily and can't hold reserves.
B vitamins convert food into energy, build red blood cells, and keep the nervous system working. Stress burns through them faster. Alcohol depletes them. A poor diet means most people run low without knowing it. All eight are included because they work together, partial supplementation gives partial results. Methylated forms of B6, B9, and B12 are used because up to 40% of people carry MTHFR gene variants that reduce their ability to process synthetic alternatives.

Creatine Monohydrate · 5g per serve
No supplement has been studied more. None has performed more consistently.
Over 500 clinical trials. The same result every time.
Creatine replenishes phosphocreatine stores in muscle and brain tissue, enabling faster ATP production, the body's primary energy currency. The benefits extend well beyond physical performance. Working memory, processing speed, and neuroprotection all improve with consistent use. Monohydrate is the most studied form. No alternative, creatine HCl, buffered, or ethyl ester, has outperformed it in direct comparison trials.

Vitamin C + Zinc · 500mg + 15mg
Your immune system runs on two nutrients. Most people are low in both.
Neither can be stored. Daily depletion is inevitable.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and a cofactor in collagen synthesis. The body cannot produce it. Zinc drives over 300 enzymatic processes, immune cell production, wound repair, and DNA synthesis among them. The two compounds work together: zinc supports immune cell maturation while Vitamin C protects those cells from oxidative stress during an immune response. Buffered Vitamin C reduces the gastric irritation common at higher doses. Zinc bisglycinate is the most absorbable chelated form available.
