Our Approach

element³ — Our Formulation Philosophy

Every element³ product is built around one core belief:

If an ingredient isn't present at a dose shown to be effective, it doesn't belong in the formula.

We don't chase trends or inflate ingredient lists. Every ingredient is selected for a clear physiological purpose, supported by human evidence, and included at a dose designed to deliver real, measurable benefit.

Each ingredient in the element³ protocol has been chosen for:
 • A specific and relevant physiological role
 • Evidence-supported dosing, not token inclusion
 • Synergy with other ingredients in the regime
 • Relevance to women 35+, particularly as hormonal shifts change nutritional demand

Our formulas are designed to support the body's systems, not override them.


Morning Blend

Foundation Energy, Nutrient Repletion & Stress Resilience

The Morning Blend is the nutritional foundation of the element³ protocol. As women move through their late 30s and beyond, shifts in hormones increase demand on energy metabolism, micronutrient status, gut function, and stress pathways. This formula is designed to meet those increased demands without overstimulation or unnecessary excess.

Essential Vitamins & Minerals

Vitamins A, C, D3, E & K2 (MK-7)
These vitamins work collectively to support immune health, antioxidant protection, bone metabolism, vascular integrity, and cellular signalling. Vitamin D3 and K2 are intentionally paired to support healthy calcium utilisation, while Vitamins A, C, and E contribute to immune resilience and oxidative balance. Doses are aligned to daily physiological needs rather than pharmacological levels.

Key evidence

B-Complex Vitamins (B1, B2, B3 as Niacin + Niacinamide, B5, B6, B7, B9 as Methylfolate, B12 as Methylcobalamin)
B-vitamins are essential cofactors in mitochondrial energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function. Low or marginal status is strongly associated with fatigue, brain fog, low mood, and poor stress tolerance — all common concerns for women 35+. We use bioactive forms where appropriate and doses that align with evidence-based requirements, supporting steady energy and cognitive function without relying on megadoses that simply increase urinary excretion.

Key evidence

Calcium (citrate or bisglycinate), Magnesium (baseline contribution), Selenium, Iron (gentle dose)
These minerals support bone integrity, thyroid function, glucose regulation, antioxidant enzyme activity, oxygen transport, and metabolic efficiency. Iron is included at a conservative, food-compatible dose to support women at risk of low iron status without assuming deficiency or increasing oxidative stress. Trace minerals are carefully balanced to support function without interfering with absorption of one another.

Key evidence

Cellular Energy & Longevity Pathways

NMN, PQQ, CoQ10, Resveratrol, Spermidine
This group of compounds supports mitochondrial efficiency, cellular energy production, and healthy ageing pathways. NMN and PQQ are included to support mitochondrial biogenesis and NAD-related processes, while CoQ10 is essential for ATP production and declines naturally with age. Resveratrol and spermidine contribute to cellular stress-response and autophagy-related pathways. All are included at research-aligned doses intended to support cellular efficiency, not make speculative longevity claims.

Key evidence

Adaptation, Circulation & Cognitive Support

NZ Ginseng Powder
Included as a gentle adaptogen to support energy, stress resilience, and cognitive performance without overstimulation, making it suitable for daily use.

Pycnogenol®, Blackcurrant Extract (active anthocyanins), Bilberry Extract
These polyphenol-rich extracts support microcirculation, vascular health, antioxidant defence, and cognitive performance. Their inclusion reflects evidence linking flavonoid intake with healthy ageing, circulation, and mental clarity.

Key evidence

Gut Health & Nutrient Utilisation

Sunfiber® Prebiotics
A clinically studied soluble fibre that supports digestive comfort, gut motility, and microbiome balance, while remaining well tolerated and low-FODMAP friendly.

Lactobacillus gasseri CP2305® Postbiotics
Included to support gut–brain signalling and stress resilience, reflecting emerging evidence that postbiotic compounds can influence mood, sleep, and gastrointestinal comfort without requiring live bacterial colonisation.

Key evidence


Evening Blend

Restoration, Sleep Quality & Nervous System Down-Regulation

The Evening Blend is designed to support the body's natural repair window — when sleep quality, nervous system relaxation, and cellular recovery matter most. Ingredients are chosen to promote calm, restorative sleep without sedation or next-day grogginess.

Ashwagandha (Sensoril® root extract)
Supports stress regulation, cortisol balance, and sleep quality, particularly in individuals experiencing chronic stress or nervous system overload. Sensoril® is selected for its standardisation and evidence in stress and sleep outcomes.

Key evidence


L-Theanine
Promotes calm focus and nervous system relaxation by supporting alpha-wave activity in the brain, helping to quiet mental chatter without acting as a sedative.

Key evidence

Magnesium Glycinate & Magnesium Citrate
These complementary forms support parasympathetic nervous system activation, muscle relaxation, and sleep quality. Evening dosing improves tolerability and sleep-supportive effects compared to morning use.

Key evidence

Zinc Amino Acid Chelate
Supports overnight immune surveillance, tissue repair, and hormone metabolism, aligning with the body's nocturnal recovery processes.

Key evidence

Passionflower (4:1 extract, standardised to isovitexin)
Traditionally and clinically used to support sleep onset and reduce nervous tension, particularly when stress interferes with the ability to wind down.

Key evidence

Valerian Root Extract & Hop Extract
This combination supports sleep latency and sleep quality through complementary mechanisms, with evidence suggesting improved outcomes when used together compared to valerian alone.

Key evidence

Lemon Balm
Supports calm, mood balance, and sleep quality, particularly where anxiety or rumination disrupts rest.

Key evidence

GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid)
Included as an optional component to support inhibitory neurotransmission and relaxation for individuals who respond well to exogenous GABA support.

Key evidence


Pick Me Up Blend

Clean Energy, Focus & Mental Clarity — Without the Crash

The Pick Me Up is designed for demanding days when cognitive load peaks and fatigue sets in, providing clean, steady energy without disrupting sleep or overstimulating the nervous system.

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)
Supports energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function, particularly relevant during periods of mental and physical demand.

Key evidence

Vitamin D3 & Vitamin K2 (MK-7)
 Maintain continuity with the broader regime, supporting neuromuscular function, immune health, and calcium regulation.

Key evidence

CoQ10
Supports mitochondrial ATP production and fatigue resilience, included at a dose aligned with clinical research rather than trace inclusion.

Key evidence

NZ Ginseng & Ashwagandha (KSM-66®)
Provide balanced adaptogenic support — ginseng for energy and cognitive endurance, and KSM-66® for stress modulation and mental resilience under pressure.

Key evidence

L-Theanine
Included to smooth stimulation and promote calm focus, reducing the likelihood of jitteriness or overstimulation.

Key evidence

Alpinia galanga (enXtra®)
A clinically studied botanical shown to support alertness, focus, and sustained mental energy without stimulant crash, making it central to the Pick Me Up's clean-energy profile.

Key evidence

Magnesium Citrate & Calcium Citrate
Provide light mineral support to maintain neuromuscular function and reduce tension during prolonged cognitive effort.

Key evidence

Sodium & Potassium (optional)
Support hydration and electrolyte balance, particularly on high-demand or physically active days.

Key evidence

Turmeric (Curcumin Extract)

Key evidence

3Supports inflammatory balance and recovery, contributing to sustained mental and physical performance rather than short-lived stimulation.
