What is this ingredient? Vitamin C, listed here as ascorbic acid, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that humans must obtain from the diet. It acts as a key antioxidant, helping to neutralize reactive oxygen species and protect cells from everyday oxidative stress [1]. Vitamin C is also required for normal collagen formation, which supports healthy skin, blood vessels, cartilage, and other connective tissues. In addition, it plays a recognized role in immune defense, where it helps maintain normal function of various immune cells and supports the integrity of physical barriers [2].

Vitamin C also enhances the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, which can support healthy red blood cell formation and energy levels when overall iron intake is adequate [3]. This multifaceted profile makes ascorbic acid a foundational micronutrient for overall vitality.

Why include it in this formula? Based on its combination of sea moss, shilajit, bladderwrack, turmeric, ashwagandha, black seed, minerals, and vitamin D3, this product is primarily designed to support whole-body vitality, mineral status, and immune resilience. Within this context, vitamin C serves as a core antioxidant and immune-support pillar, helping buffer the oxidative stress that can accompany modern lifestyles and environmental exposures [1,2].

Vitamin C may also assist with the absorption and effective utilization of minerals such as iron and other trace elements naturally present in sea moss and the multimineral blend, supporting more efficient nutrient use by the body [3]. By pairing vitamin C with seaweed-derived minerals, shilajit, magnesium, zinc, and quercetin, the formula weaves together antioxidant defense, mineral support, and immune balance into a cohesive daily vitality complex.

What is this ingredient? Vitamin D3, listed here as cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that the body can produce in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It helps regulate calcium and phosphate balance, which is essential for maintaining normal bone mineralization and skeletal strength [1,2]. Adequate vitamin D status supports the body’s ability to absorb calcium from the diet and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

Beyond skeletal health, vitamin D receptors are found in many tissues, and research suggests vitamin D status can influence muscle function and physical performance, especially in people with low baseline levels [3]. In adults with insufficient vitamin D, supplementation raises circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the main marker of vitamin D status, and helps maintain more stable calcium–parathyroid hormone balance over time [1,2].

Why include it in this formula? The combination of sea moss, shilajit, bladderwrack, a multimineral blend, magnesium, zinc, turmeric, ashwagandha, and black seed indicates that this product is designed to support whole-body vitality with a strong emphasis on mineral nutrition, structural health, and immune balance. Within this framework, vitamin D3 is a central regulator of how the body uses calcium and other minerals to maintain resilient bones and overall structural integrity [1,2].

By pairing vitamin D3 with seaweed-derived and blended minerals, the formula supports both mineral supply and the hormonal signals that govern where those minerals are directed in the body.

What is this ingredient? Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a traditional Ayurvedic root classified as an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body respond more effectively to mental and physical stressors. Modern clinical research supports its role in stress and anxiety management: meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials show that ashwagandha supplementation can reduce perceived stress, anxiety scores, and circulating cortisol compared with placebo [0,3]. Individual trials in adults with chronic stress or high anxiety report improvements in validated stress and anxiety scales, along with favorable shifts in cortisol and related hormonal markers [1,2,7].

Beyond mood and stress, a small human trial suggests ashwagandha may help normalize thyroid markers in individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism, indicating a broader influence on neuroendocrine balance [6]. Overall, ashwagandha root extract is best known for supporting calm, resilience, and a more balanced stress response rather than acting as a sedative.

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, shilajit, bladderwrack, a multimineral blend, magnesium, zinc, turmeric, black seed, quercetin, and vitamins C and D3, this product is built to support whole-body vitality, mineral status, and immune balance. Ashwagandha in this context fills the “adaptogenic stress-resilience” pillar. While minerals and seaweeds nourish structural and metabolic systems, ashwagandha helps the nervous and endocrine systems cope with everyday stressors, complementing the product’s physical energy and immune-supporting components [0,3].

By pairing ashwagandha with magnesium, zinc, and antioxidant botanicals, the formula addresses both the physical and emotional sides of feeling run down. Ashwagandha’s documented benefits for perceived stress, anxiety, and cortisol help align this sea moss–shilajit complex with a broader goal: supporting a steadier, more resilient baseline so that the body can make better use of its nutrient and mineral support [0–3].

What is this ingredient? Turmeric (Curcuma longa) root is a bright yellow spice whose key polyphenol, curcumin, has been widely studied for its effects on oxidative stress and inflammatory balance. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials report that turmeric/curcumin supplementation can improve markers of antioxidant status and, in many studies, favorably influence inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein and certain cytokines [0,3]. Individual trials in adults have also shown that Curcuma longa extracts can improve serum inflammatory markers and aspects of general health in people with elevated inflammation or metabolic stress [2,4].

Beyond biochemical markers, curcumin formulations have been investigated for their effects on joint comfort and muscle soreness. In adults with joint pain, a bioavailable curcumin supplement produced greater short-term reductions in self-reported joint pain than placebo [6]. Other work in exercising adults found that curcumin reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness and supported recovery from intense exercise [9].

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, shilajit, bladderwrack, a multimineral blend, magnesium, zinc, black seed, ashwagandha, quercetin, and vitamins C and D3, this product aims to support whole-body vitality, mineral status, and immune balance. Within that design, turmeric root extract is a core "inflammatory-balance and recovery" pillar. Its well-characterized antioxidant and inflammation-related effects complement vitamin C, black seed, and quercetin to reinforce cellular protection and a balanced inflammatory response [0,3].

Because everyday oxidative and inflammatory stress can affect joints, muscles, and overall resilience, turmeric’s studied roles in joint comfort and post-exercise soreness align with the formula’s focus on helping you feel more capable and recovered after daily demands [6,9]. Paired with structural nutrients like vitamin D3, magnesium, zinc, and mineral-rich seaweeds, turmeric helps connect the product’s nutrient foundation with practical support for how the body feels and moves day to day.

What is this ingredient? Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) is a brown seaweed found along cold and temperate coastlines. It naturally contains iodine, fucoidan (a sulfated polysaccharide), and polyphenols known as phlorotannins, along with other minerals and fibers [0,2]. Laboratory and animal studies show that Fucus vesiculosus extracts exhibit notable antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect lipids and proteins from oxidative damage [0–2,5].

Human and experimental models suggest that brown seaweed preparations containing Fucus vesiculosus can influence post-meal insulin dynamics and modestly affect metabolic and inflammatory markers, although effects in people tend to be small and context-dependent [3,7]. Overall, bladderwrack is best characterized as a marine source of iodine, polysaccharides, and polyphenols that contribute to antioxidant capacity and support normal metabolic regulation when used as part of a balanced diet.

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, shilajit, a multimineral blend, magnesium, zinc, turmeric, ashwagandha, black seed, quercetin, and vitamins C and D3, this formula is clearly focused on whole-body vitality with a strong mineral and antioxidant theme. Within that design, bladderwrack serves as a “marine polyphenol and iodine-rich” pillar that complements sea moss and the multimineral blend.

Its fucoidan and phlorotannin content adds to the product’s antioxidant network, working alongside vitamin C, turmeric, and black seed to buffer everyday oxidative stress [0,2,5]. At the same time, iodine and other trace minerals contribute to the formula’s emphasis on comprehensive mineral nourishment, aligning with vitamin D3, magnesium, and zinc to support normal metabolic and structural function. In the context of a sea moss–shilajit complex, bladderwrack helps round out the ocean-derived component of the product, linking mineral support with additional antioxidant and metabolic benefits.

What is this ingredient? Burdock refers here to an extract of Arctium root, a traditional food and herbal ingredient used in many cultures. The root contains polysaccharides, phenolic acids, lignans such as arctigenin, and other phytonutrients [5,9]. Experimental and clinical work shows that burdock root preparations possess notable antioxidant and inflammation-modulating properties. In a randomized controlled trial, burdock root tea improved inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in adults with knee osteoarthritis, lowering C‑reactive protein and IL‑6 while increasing total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase activity [7].

Preclinical studies further report that burdock root extracts can protect liver tissue in toxin-induced models by reducing oxidative damage, inflammation, and apoptosis [3]. Additional cell and animal research suggests potential benefits for lipid metabolism and body-weight regulation through effects on key metabolic pathways such as AMPK, though these findings remain preliminary in humans [0,6]. Overall, burdock root is best described as an antioxidant- and phytonutrient-rich root that supports healthy redox balance and metabolic homeostasis.

Why include it in this formula? Combined with sea moss, bladderwrack, shilajit, a multimineral blend, magnesium, zinc, turmeric, black seed, quercetin, and vitamins C and D3, this product is clearly aimed at whole-body vitality with strong emphasis on mineral nourishment, antioxidant defense, and inflammation balance. Within that architecture, burdock root extract adds a "detox and antioxidant buffering" pillar, particularly focused on the interface between metabolism and oxidative stress.

Its demonstrated ability to enhance antioxidant status and improve inflammatory biomarkers in humans [7] complements the actions of turmeric, black seed, quercetin, and vitamin C, helping create a broad network of plant-based defense. At the same time, burdock’s polysaccharides and metabolic effects in experimental models [0,3,6] fit well with mineral-rich seaweeds and shilajit to support the body’s natural processes for handling everyday metabolic and environmental stressors. In this sea moss–shilajit complex, burdock helps round out the formula’s focus on gentle, daily internal support rather than aggressive cleansing.

What is this ingredient? Quercetin is a flavonoid found naturally in onions, apples, berries, and many other plants. As a polyphenolic compound, it has been widely studied for its antioxidant and inflammation-related actions in humans. Large randomized trials show that quercetin supplementation reliably increases plasma quercetin levels, even though changes in standard antioxidant markers are sometimes limited [1,2]. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials in people with metabolic or inflammatory conditions indicate that quercetin can modestly improve blood lipids and reduce C‑reactive protein, a marker of systemic inflammation [3].

Human studies in active adults also suggest potential benefits for exercise-related performance and recovery. In some trials, short-term quercetin use improved VO₂max and time to exhaustion, or enhanced post-exercise insulin sensitivity and antioxidant capacity, though results are not uniform across all studies [4,5]. Overall, quercetin dihydrate is best viewed as a bioactive plant compound that supports vascular, metabolic, and redox balance rather than as a stimulant.

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, shilajit, bladderwrack, burdock, turmeric, black seed, ashwagandha, vitamins C and D3, magnesium, zinc, and a multimineral blend, this product is designed to support whole-body vitality, mineral status, and immune balance. Quercetin fits into the “polyphenol and circulation-support” pillar of the formula. By contributing to healthier lipid profiles and modest reductions in inflammatory markers in at‑risk groups [3], it complements the antioxidant and inflammation-balancing actions of turmeric, black seed, burdock, and vitamin C.

Because everyday oxidative and metabolic stress can influence how energized and resilient you feel, quercetin’s studied roles in vascular and exercise-related parameters [4,5] align with the product’s focus on daily performance and recovery. In the context of this sea moss–shilajit complex, quercetin helps connect mineral and adaptogenic support with targeted polyphenol activity, broadening the formula’s coverage of cardiovascular, metabolic, and cellular wellness pathways.

What is this ingredient? Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including those related to energy production, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and maintenance of normal bone structure. Reviews estimate that a large proportion of U.S. adults do not reach recommended magnesium intakes, and suboptimal status has been linked with conditions characterized by low‑grade inflammation and metabolic stress [2,4]. Because only a small fraction of total body magnesium circulates in blood, assessing magnesium status is challenging, and mild deficiency can go unrecognized [4].

Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form in which magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. While most clinical trials use other salts (such as magnesium oxide or L‑threonate), the underlying mineral still supports the same core physiological roles: neuromuscular function, electrolyte balance, and participation in metabolic pathways that influence energy and mood [1,7,8].

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, bladderwrack, a multimineral blend, shilajit, zinc, vitamins C and D3, turmeric, black seed, ashwagandha, burdock, and quercetin, this product is designed to support whole‑body vitality with a strong focus on mineral nourishment, antioxidant defense, and stress resilience. Within this framework, magnesium glycinate serves as a foundational “cellular energy and neuromuscular support” pillar.

Magnesium helps enzymes that manage energy metabolism and influences inflammatory and oxidative processes that are often elevated in modern lifestyles [2,4]. This makes it a logical partner for antioxidant botanicals and polyphenols in the formula. Alongside vitamin D3, zinc, seaweed-derived minerals, and shilajit, magnesium also contributes to maintaining normal muscle and bone function, helping the body feel structurally supported while other ingredients address immunity, redox balance, and stress adaptation [1,2,4].

What is this ingredient? Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for the activity of hundreds of enzymes and transcription factors in the body. It plays central roles in DNA synthesis, cell division, antioxidant defense, and the normal function of many hormones and signaling pathways [7]. Population data from U.S. nutrition surveys show that a substantial share of people do not consistently achieve recommended zinc intakes, particularly certain age and sex groups, which raises the risk of marginal deficiency [3].

Zinc gluconate is a well-established supplemental form in which zinc is bound to gluconic acid. Clinical and mechanistic work indicates that zinc helps limit oxidative stress and modulate inflammatory signaling pathways, including reductions in biomarkers such as C‑reactive protein, interleukin‑6, and malondialdehyde, alongside increases in total antioxidant capacity in adults receiving zinc supplements [4,8]. Zinc is also integral to normal immune cell development and function, and deficiency is associated with impaired immune responses and increased susceptibility to infections [7].

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, bladderwrack, shilajit, a multimineral blend, magnesium, turmeric, black seed, burdock, quercetin, ashwagandha, and vitamins C and D3, this product is designed to support whole‑body vitality with a strong emphasis on mineral nourishment, antioxidant defense, and immune balance. Within that framework, zinc gluconate serves as a key "immune and antioxidant cofactor" pillar.

By contributing to antioxidant enzyme systems and helping temper low‑grade inflammatory activity in adults [4,7,8], zinc works in concert with vitamin C, turmeric, black seed, and quercetin to build a broad redox-support network. At the same time, zinc’s structural and enzymatic roles complement vitamin D3, magnesium, and the seaweed‑ and shilajit‑derived minerals to support normal tissue repair, hormone signaling, and metabolic regulation. In the context of this sea moss–shilajit complex, zinc helps ensure that the formula’s diverse botanicals and minerals are backed by a core trace element essential for everyday resilience.

What is this ingredient? The Multimineral Blend in this formula is actually a broad functional complex rather than simple minerals. It combines apple cider vinegar fruit powder, dandelion and yellow dock roots, elderberry and manuka honey, ginger and black maca, plus adaptogenic and tonifying herbs such as Panax ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, rhizomes like ginger, and roots such as stinging nettle, cinnamon bark, and Berberis aristata. Together, these botanicals bring organic acids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and other phytonutrients that can influence metabolic balance, circulation, and resilience to everyday stress.

Clinical research illustrates the type of support several of these components provide. Apple cider vinegar intake has been associated with modest improvements in body weight and related anthropometric measures in adults with excess body weight [0]. Panax ginseng has been studied for its anti‑fatigue effects, with randomized trials reporting improvements in mental fatigue and chronic fatigue scores versus placebo [2,8]. Rhodiola rosea extracts have shown benefits for stress‑related fatigue and mental performance in multiple controlled trials [1]. Elderberry extract has been investigated for reducing cold duration and symptom burden in travelers [4].

Why include it in this formula? Combined with sea moss, shilajit, bladderwrack, burdock, turmeric, black seed, ashwagandha, quercetin, magnesium, zinc, vitamins C and D3, and black pepper, this product is clearly built to support whole‑body vitality, mineral nourishment, metabolic balance, and immune resilience. Within that architecture, the Multimineral Blend acts as a "synergistic metabolic and resilience" pillar. While seaweeds and classic minerals focus on structural and micronutrient needs, this botanical complex layers in support for energy, digestion, glycemic balance, and the way the body responds to everyday physical and emotional load.

Apple cider vinegar, ginger, dandelion, yellow dock, and cinnamon contribute to digestive and metabolic tone, complementing the product’s focus on weight‑ and energy‑related pathways [0]. Panax ginseng, Rhodiola, black maca, and Rhodiola rosea provide adaptogenic and anti‑fatigue support that aligns with the product’s emphasis on endurance and recovery [1,2,8]. Elderberry, manuka honey, nettle, and berberine‑containing Berberis aristata add immune and microbial‑interface support, reinforcing vitamins C and D3, zinc, and black seed [4]. Altogether, this Multimineral Blend helps knit the formula’s mineral core together with a rich web of botanicals that target how you feel and function day to day.

What is this ingredient? Black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract is standardized for piperine, the alkaloid that gives black pepper its characteristic pungency. Piperine is best known in nutrition science as a “bioenhancer” – a compound that can increase the absorption and systemic availability of certain nutrients and plant actives. In a human crossover study, co‑administration of piperine with curcumin increased curcumin’s bioavailability by about 20‑fold compared with curcumin alone, mainly by reducing its rapid metabolism and clearance [1].

Cell and animal research further shows that piperine can inhibit certain drug‑metabolizing and efflux transporters, thereby enhancing the uptake and retention of co‑administered compounds [2,3]. While these mechanistic data are not specific to one nutrient, they support the broader concept of piperine as a compound that can improve the pharmacokinetic profile of various bioactives.

Why include it in this formula? This product combines sea moss, shilajit, a multimineral blend, bladderwrack, burdock, turmeric, black seed, ashwagandha, quercetin, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins C and D3 to support whole‑body vitality, mineral nourishment, antioxidant defense, and immune balance. Within that context, black pepper extract plays a strategic “absorption support” role rather than acting primarily as a direct antioxidant or mineral source.

By providing piperine, black pepper extract may help enhance the bioavailability of key phytochemicals such as curcuminoids from turmeric and possibly other polyphenols in the blend, as demonstrated for curcumin in human volunteers [1–3]. This makes it a small but important catalyst that can help the body make better use of the formula’s botanicals and nutrients, aligning with the product’s aim of efficient, synergistic support for everyday resilience and vitality.

What is this ingredient? Shilajit (asphaltum Punjabianum) is a mineral-rich organic exudate that oozes from rocks in high mountain regions. It contains humic and fulvic substances along with trace minerals and other bioactive compounds. Human and experimental studies suggest that standardized shilajit can influence markers of lipid metabolism and antioxidant status, with reported improvements in serum triglycerides, cholesterol fractions, and overall antioxidant capacity in healthy adults [1].

Emerging research also links shilajit to connective tissue and structural support. In recreationally trained men, daily shilajit supplementation helped preserve maximal muscular strength after a fatiguing protocol and favorably affected a biomarker related to collagen turnover [2]. Additional preclinical work indicates potential roles in supporting bone and collagen-related processes, likely connected to its influence on oxidative balance and cellular signaling [3].

Why include it in this formula? With sea moss, bladderwrack, a multimineral blend, magnesium, zinc, turmeric, ashwagandha, and black seed, this product is designed to support whole-body vitality with a focus on mineral nourishment, structural integrity, and resilience. Within this framework, shilajit acts as a "mountain mineral resin" pillar, complementing marine minerals from sea moss and the dedicated multimineral blend.

By providing fulvic substances and trace minerals, shilajit may help support cellular energy processes and redox balance, which are important for feeling physically robust and recovering from everyday exertion [1–3]. In combination with vitamin D3, magnesium, and zinc—nutrients tied to bone and muscle function—plus adaptogens like ashwagandha, shilajit helps round out the formula’s aim of supporting structural and performance-related aspects of wellness, not just basic micronutrient intake.
