how we formulate

Nothing gets in on a vibe.

Every formula starts as a pile of pediatric studies and ends as a printed panel an outside lab checks. This page is the whole path — no shortcuts, nothing proprietary.

The bar an ingredient has to clear

Three tests, in order: the evidence is replicated, the studies are in children, and the effect showed up at a dose we can actually carry.

It is a boring bar. It is supposed to be. Most of the exciting ingredients on the shelf fail the second test.

miss one and it stays out — that is why there is no herb-of-the-month in anything we make.

Start to finish

The same five steps, every product, every time.

step 1

Read the studies

We start from pediatric trials, not trend reports. If the evidence is thin, the ingredient waits.

step 2

Match the dose

Whatever dose the studies used is the dose that goes in. If it cannot fit, we change the format — never the number.

step 3

Pick the format

A day of calcium will not fit in one gummy, so the multivitamin is a sachet. The format is a consequence, not a choice.

step 4

Test every batch

An outside lab checks identity, potency and contaminants on every single lot. Not a sample — every lot.

step 5

Publish. Keep publishing.

The certificate goes up under the lot number, interesting or not. Your box links to your batch.

No proprietary blends

Every ingredient is printed with its exact amount — including all sixteen fruits and vegetables in the shake, one by one.

“Proprietary blend” is how a label says a lot while promising nothing. Ours say less and promise all of it.

a blend you cannot read is a dose you cannot check.

Every claim on this page has a certificate behind it, filed under a lot number.
Check our homework.

Not a marketing list.

The stuff that's genuinely useful to know as a parent, whether or not it has anything to do with what we sell.
