Science

Foundation is the cornerstone of the Nutrionix supplement system. Protein is one of the most researched nutrients in sports nutrition and is essential for muscle repair, recovery, performance, and long-term health.

Rather than chasing the highest protein number or using flashy proprietary blends, we built Foundation around ingredients that are practical, effective, and supported by evidence.

Whether you're an athlete, first responder, military professional, or simply trying to improve your health, Foundation helps you consistently meet your daily protein needs.

WHY WE CHOSE A WHEY PROTEIN BLEND

Instead of using only whey isolate, Foundation combines Whey Protein Isolate with Whey Protein Concentrate.

This approach provides several advantages:

• Complete amino acid profile with naturally high leucine content.

• Excellent digestibility while maintaining a creamy texture and better flavor.

• More cost-effective than isolate alone, allowing us to focus on ingredient quality instead of marketing.

• Better everyday usability for most healthy adults.

A blend offers an ideal balance between purity, taste, performance, and value.

WHY 22 GRAMS OF PROTEIN?

Each serving provides 22 grams of complete protein.

Current sports nutrition research suggests approximately 20–40 grams of high-quality protein per meal is effective for stimulating muscle protein synthesis, depending on body size, age, and training demands.

Twenty-two grams provides an effective serving while allowing flexibility to combine Foundation with meals throughout the day.

Rather than overloading each serving with unnecessary protein, Foundation is designed to fit naturally into a complete nutrition plan.

WHY SOLNUL® PREBIOTIC FIBER?

Foundation includes Solnul® Resistant Potato Starch, a clinically studied prebiotic fiber.

Unlike probiotics, which introduce bacteria into the digestive tract, prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria already living in your gut.

Research suggests resistant starch may help support:

• Digestive health

• Gut microbiome diversity

• Production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids

• Overall gastrointestinal function

Including digestive support in a daily protein supplement reflects our philosophy that recovery begins with healthy nutrition.

WHY PINK HIMALAYAN SALT?

Pink Himalayan salt contributes flavor while providing naturally occurring trace minerals.

Although it should not be viewed as a major electrolyte source, the small amount included improves taste and complements the overall formulation.

WHO IS FOUNDATION FOR?

Foundation is designed for people who want dependable daily protein support, including:

• Strength athletes

• Tactical professionals

• Endurance athletes

• Busy professionals

• Older adults working to maintain muscle mass

• Anyone struggling to meet daily protein intake through food alone

HOW TO USE

Mix 2 scoops (35 g) with 8–12 oz (240–355 mL) of cold water or milk.

Foundation works well:

• After training

• Between meals

• With breakfast

• Anytime additional protein is needed

Consistency matters more than perfect timing.

NUTRIONIX STANDARD

Every ingredient must answer four questions:

Purpose — Why is it included?

Amount — Is the dose meaningful?

Context — When and how should it be used?

Evidence — Does current research support its inclusion?

If an ingredient cannot meet all four standards, it doesn't earn a place in a Nutrionix formula.

RESEARCH SNAPSHOT

Current evidence supports adequate daily protein intake as a key factor for:

• Muscle recovery

• Muscle growth and maintenance

• Exercise adaptation

• Healthy aging

• Overall performance

Additional research supports resistant starch as a beneficial prebiotic that promotes gut health and beneficial microbial activity.

Strength is Nutrionix's pure creatine monohydrate formula, providing 5,000 mg (5 g) of creatine monohydrate in every serving.

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in sports nutrition. It helps replenish phosphocreatine stores in muscle, supporting the production of ATP—the body's primary energy source for short, explosive movements.

Whether your goal is increasing strength, improving athletic performance, building muscle, or enhancing recovery between sets, Strength is designed to support consistent progress through daily use.

Unlike stimulants, creatine doesn't provide an immediate boost. Its benefits come from taking it consistently over time.

AMOUNT

Each serving (1 scoop / 5.6 g) provides:

• Creatine Monohydrate — 5,000 mg

One ingredient.

No proprietary blends.

No stimulants.

No artificial fillers.

No unnecessary additives.

Just 5 grams of pure creatine monohydrate.

CONTEXT

Creatine is naturally stored in skeletal muscle and plays an important role in producing energy during high-intensity exercise such as weightlifting, sprinting, jumping, and repeated explosive efforts.

While creatine is found naturally in foods such as meat and fish, many people do not consume enough to fully maximize muscle creatine stores.

Daily supplementation increases those stores over time, helping support strength, power, training volume, and recovery between repeated bouts of intense exercise.

Most scientific research supports a daily intake of 3–5 grams. Strength provides the full clinically studied 5-gram serving in one scoop.

RESEARCH

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most extensively researched ingredients in sports nutrition.

Research has shown creatine supplementation may help support:

• Increased muscular strength

• Improved power output

• Enhanced performance during repeated high-intensity exercise

• Greater training capacity over time

• Lean muscle development when combined with resistance training

Hundreds of scientific studies have evaluated creatine monohydrate, making it one of the most trusted and evidence-supported performance supplements available today.

At Nutrionix, we chose pure creatine monohydrate because proven ingredients outperform marketing trends.

Balance is Nutrionix's daily greens formula, created to help fill nutritional gaps and support everyday wellness with a blend of vegetables, fruits, herbs, adaptogens, and digestive-support ingredients.

Most people don't eat enough fruits and vegetables every day. Balance makes it easier to add concentrated plant ingredients to your routine in one convenient serving.

Balance is not intended to replace whole foods. Instead, it helps complement a balanced diet while supporting long-term healthy habits.

The Metabolic Support Blend combines botanical ingredients such as cinnamon, turmeric, ashwagandha, and ginseng that have been studied for their roles in overall wellness and metabolic health.

The Digestive Support Blend includes prebiotic fiber from inulin together with ginger root to support digestive health and maintain a healthy gut environment.

Rather than relying on a single "superfood," Balance combines multiple complementary plant ingredients into one daily serving.

RESEARCH

Research consistently shows that diets rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and plant foods are associated with better overall health.

Several ingredients included in Balance have individually been studied for their potential roles in:

• Supporting healthy digestion

• Promoting gut microbiome diversity

• Providing naturally occurring antioxidants and plant compounds

• Supporting normal metabolic function

• Helping maintain overall wellness

While Balance is not a substitute for a healthy diet, it offers a practical way to increase daily intake of concentrated plant ingredients as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Hydrate is Nutrionix's daily electrolyte supplement, formulated to support hydration, muscle function, and recovery throughout the day.

Rather than relying on sugar-loaded sports drinks, Hydrate delivers essential electrolytes—including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium—along with B vitamins that support normal energy metabolism.

Whether you're training, working long hours, spending time outdoors, or simply trying to stay properly hydrated, Hydrate helps replace key nutrients lost through sweat while supporting everyday performance.

AMOUNT

Each serving (1 scoop / 5.4 g) provides:

• Sodium (as Sodium Citrate) — 100 mg

• Potassium (as Potassium Citrate) — 200 mg

• Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) — 20 mg

• Calcium (as Calcium Citrate) — 40 mg

Plus B Vitamins:

• Vitamin B1

• Vitamin B2

• Vitamin B3

• Vitamin B5

• Vitamin B6

• Folate (Vitamin B9)

• Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

This caffeine-free formula contains only 10 calories and is designed for everyday hydration without excessive sugar.

CONTEXT

Hydration is about far more than drinking water.

Electrolytes help regulate fluid balance, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling. During exercise, heat exposure, or physically demanding work, these minerals are lost through sweat and should be replaced to maintain normal body function.

Hydrate uses highly soluble citrate forms of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to support fluid absorption while avoiding the high sugar content found in many traditional sports drinks.

Mix one scoop with 14–20 ounces (414–591 mL) of water and adjust to taste. It can be used before activity, during prolonged exercise, after training, or anytime hydration support is needed.

RESEARCH

Electrolytes are essential minerals required for normal physiological function.

Research shows that maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance supports:

• Fluid balance and hydration

• Normal muscle contraction

• Healthy nerve function

• Physical endurance

• Exercise recovery

• Cognitive performance during dehydration

The added B vitamins contribute to normal energy metabolism but are not stimulants. Hydrate is designed to complement healthy hydration habits—not replace proper water intake or balanced nutrition.

• Lactobacillus acidophilus (1 Billion CFU) to help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microbes.

• DigeZyme® Multi-Enzyme Complex to help break down proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and lactose for more efficient digestion.

Whether you're eating a high-protein diet or simply looking to improve digestive comfort, Absorb is designed to help your digestive system perform at its best.

AMOUNT

Take 2 capsules daily with 6–8 oz (177–236 mL) of water, preferably with a meal.

Each serving provides:

• Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Powder — 1,000 mg

• Inulin (Prebiotic Fiber) — 200 mg

• DigeZyme® Multi-Enzyme Complex — 100 mg

• Lactobacillus acidophilus LA85 — 1 Billion CFU

Daily use is recommended for consistent digestive and gut microbiome support.

CONTEXT

Your digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing the nutrients your body relies on for recovery, performance, and overall health. Even the highest-quality nutrition is only valuable if your body can effectively digest and utilize it.

Absorb combines digestive enzymes, probiotics, and prebiotic fiber into one daily formula. The enzymes help digest meals, the probiotic supports a healthy gut microbiome, and the prebiotic provides nourishment for beneficial bacteria.

This product pairs especially well with Foundation and Balance, helping maximize nutrient absorption from both whole foods and supplements.

RESEARCH

Research supports the role of each ingredient in digestive health.

DigeZyme® is a clinically studied enzyme blend containing amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase, and lactase that helps digest carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fiber, and dairy.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the most researched probiotic strains and has been shown to support gut microbiome balance and digestive health.

Inulin acts as a prebiotic fiber, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and promoting a healthier digestive environment.

Apple Cider Vinegar has traditionally been used to support digestion. While modern evidence is less robust than for probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes, it complements the formula by supporting overall digestive function.
