Food-first notes

  • Vitamin D3 with K2

    Immune tone, mood, and bone. K2 helps steer calcium. Test, don’t guess.

  • Marine omega-3

    Cools joints, supports brain and skin, balances the omega-6 load of modern food.

  • Zinc (food-led)

    Skin, hair, immunity. Easy to miss on a cheese-and-bulletproof-coffee menu.
