Food-first notes
Marine omega-3
Cools joints, supports brain and skin, balances the omega-6 load of modern food.
Nutritional yeast
B1, B3, and B5 are often discussed for keto-adaptation, nerves, and stress load. Yeast is the tasty way there.
Vitamin D3 with K2
Immune tone, mood, and bone. K2 helps steer calcium. Test, don’t guess.
