How to read this page

Every compound listed in plain language

Vitaman formulations combine vitamins, minerals, and standardized plant extracts chosen for men's daily wellness. Each entry below covers what the nutrient is, the form we use, and why that form matters for absorption and stability. You do not need a nutrition degree to follow along — we wrote this for the person reading the label, not the lab report.

We use forms that hold up well in capsule format and that your body can actually absorb. Where a cheaper alternative exists, we note why we chose the better one. Where daily intake matters, we say so. The goal is simple: you should know what goes into our natural supplements for men and why.

Fat-soluble vitamins

Vitamins A, D, and E

Vitamin A

Form Retinyl palmitate

Type Fat-soluble

Supports Vision, skin, immune

Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune function, and skin health. In men's wellness, it helps maintain the integrity of skin and mucous membranes — the barriers between you and the environment. We include it at a level that supports general intake without exceeding safe upper limits. Retinyl palmitate is the stable form we use, chosen because it holds up well inside a capsule over shelf life.

Find in daily formula

Vitamin D

Form Vitamin D3

Type Fat-soluble

Supports Bone, calcium, immune

Vitamin D supports normal calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. Your body produces it when skin is exposed to sunlight, but many men in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia still have low levels — often due to indoor work hours and sun avoidance. We use D3, the form your body makes naturally, to ensure consistent intake regardless of how much sun you actually get during the week.

Find in daily formula

Vitamin E

Form d-Alpha-tocopheryl acetate

Type Fat-soluble

Supports Cellular health

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. It works alongside vitamin C, which helps regenerate vitamin E after it has done its antioxidant work. For men, adequate vitamin E intake supports general cellular health. We include it as d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate — a stable form that holds up in capsules and is well-absorbed by the body.

Find in daily formula

Water-soluble vitamin

Vitamin C

Form Ascorbic acid

Type Water-soluble

Supports Immune, collagen, antioxidant

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. It supports normal immune function and contributes to collagen formation, which is important for skin, tendons, and blood vessels. For men who train hard, vitamin C helps manage the oxidative stress that comes with intense physical activity. We use ascorbic acid — the purest form of vitamin C — in our formulations.

Because vitamin C is water-soluble, your body does not store it long-term. Daily intake through food or supplementation is how you maintain consistent levels. This is one of the reasons it appears in our daily formula rather than only in targeted products.

Energy metabolism

B-Complex Vitamins

The B-complex family includes B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12. These vitamins are central to energy metabolism — they help your body convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy. B12 is particularly important for men who eat limited animal products, as it is primarily found in meat and dairy. We include the full B-complex in our daily formula and higher doses of specific B vitamins in our energy and endurance supplements.

B vitamins are water-soluble, so your body does not store them long-term. That is why daily intake matters — consistent consumption keeps the energy pathway supplied with the cofactors it needs to function normally.

B12

Notes

Mineral for training

Magnesium

Form Magnesium citrate

Type Mineral

Supports Muscle, nerve, energy

Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production. It is one of the most important minerals for men who train, because physical exertion depletes magnesium stores through sweat. Low magnesium can show up as muscle cramps and poor sleep quality.

We use magnesium citrate in our products because it has higher bioavailability than magnesium oxide — meaning your body absorbs a larger percentage of it per serving. The form matters as much as the amount when it comes to minerals, and citrate is the form that consistently delivers.

Mineral and plant extracts

Zinc, Ginseng, and Maca Root

Zinc

Form Zinc (trace mineral)

Supports Immune, protein synthesis

Safe upper limit 40 mg per day, all sources

Zinc is a trace mineral that supports immune function, protein synthesis, and normal wellness levels. It is lost through sweat, so men who exercise heavily need to pay attention to their zinc intake. We include it in our daily formula and in higher amounts in our endurance and strength products. Every label lists the exact amount per serving so you can track your total intake across products and avoid exceeding the safe upper limit of 40 mg per day from all sources.

Ginseng root and dried maca powder arranged on a dark stone surface under warm raking light

Plant extracts

Extracts Ginseng, maca root

Standardization Measured active compounds

Effect Gradual, not stimulant

Ginseng and maca root are plants used in traditional wellness practices for centuries. Ginseng is used to support energy and stamina, while maca root is traditionally used for vitality and endurance. We use standardized extracts, meaning the active compounds are present at consistent, measured levels in every capsule. These are not stimulants like caffeine — they work gradually, and we include them in our energy and strength formulations to provide plant-based support alongside the core vitamins and minerals.

Daily intake

Why form and consistency matter

A supplement label tells you what is inside and how much. But the form of each nutrient changes how well your body can actually use it. We chose magnesium citrate over oxide because the body absorbs more of it per serving. We chose vitamin D3 over D2 because D3 is the form your body produces naturally. We chose standardized plant extracts so every capsule carries the same measured level of active compounds.

Daily intake matters for water-soluble vitamins like the B-complex and vitamin C, because your body does not store them long-term. Fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, and E can be stored, which is why we calibrate amounts to support general intake without exceeding safe upper limits. Every label lists the exact amount per serving so you can track your total intake across products.

Form choice

We select the form your body absorbs best — citrate over oxide, D3 over D2, ascorbic acid for vitamin C.

Label transparency

Every label lists the exact amount per serving. You can track your total intake and stay within safe upper limits.

Standardized extracts

Plant extracts carry active compounds at consistent, measured levels in every capsule — not ground-up whole plant.

Daily consistency

Water-soluble vitamins need daily intake. We include them in our daily formula so the supply stays consistent.
