Get More From Your Supplements: A Clinician-Guided Playbook

By Velasco Supplements LLC — Clinician-grade support, explained.

Supplements work best when they’re part of a clear plan. Below is a practical, plain‑spoken guide to help you get more out of every bottle—without hype. We’ll cover timing, pairings, lifestyle multipliers, and simple routines that boost consistency (the real secret).

Quick note: Our products support healthy function; they don’t diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult your clinician—especially if you’re on medications, pregnant, or managing a condition.

The 80/20 of Supplement Effectiveness

1. Consistency beats perfection. Most formulas deliver compounding benefits with daily use. Build a routine you can stick to.

2. Take with the right meal. Fat‑soluble nutrients often absorb better with food that contains some healthy fats.

3. Match the goal to the moment. Energy‑oriented support in the morning; relaxation‑oriented support in the evening.

4. Hydrate and move. Many nutrients are utilized better with adequate fluid intake and regular activity.

5. Measure something simple. Track sleep quality, energy, training performance, or adherence. If you don’t measure, it’s guesswork.

Product-by-Product Guidance

EternaFuel™ Mito Support — supports steady energy, recovery, clarity

• When: Morning with breakfast. If sensitive, start with half a serving for 3–5 days.

• With: A meal containing protein + healthy fats.

• Pair: Light movement or sunlight exposure in the first 2 hours of the day to reinforce energy rhythms.

• Avoid: Taking late afternoon/evening if you notice it feels too energizing.

BoneShield™ K2 + D3 — supports calcium direction, skeletal/vascular, immune balance

• When: With a meal that contains fat (lunch or dinner works well).

• With: Magnesium later in the day complements D3/K2 for overall balance.

• Notes: If you take separate calcium, space it away based on clinician advice. If you’re on medications (e.g., anticoagulants), consult your clinician.

NeuroMag™ Power (Magnesium L‑Threonate) — supports relaxation, sleep quality, memory/clarity

• When: 60–90 minutes before bed. Can split AM/PM if desired.

• With: A light snack if you’re GI‑sensitive; otherwise empty stomach is fine.

• Pair: A 10–15 min wind‑down routine (dim lights, screens off) to stack the sleep benefits.

CardioFuel™ Omega Complex (Triglyceride EPA/DHA/DPA) — supports heart/brain, inflammatory balance, joints

• When: With your largest meal or any meal containing fat (improves absorption).

• Tips: If you experience “fish burps,” take with dinner or briefly refrigerate capsules.

• Consistency: Daily use matters more than exact timing.

PowerForge™ Creatine (5 g Creatine Monohydrate) — supports ATP power, strength, lean mass, recovery, cognition

• When: Any time daily; choose the time you’ll remember. Pre‑ or post‑workout are both fine.

• With: 8–16 oz water. Pair with your protein or carb meal if you like.

• Notes: Stay hydrated. Minor initial water‑weight shifts are normal and temporary.

BalanceForge™ Estro Support (DIM + I3C) — supports healthy estrogen metabolism & liver pathways

• When: With meals (breakfast or lunch).

• With: Plenty of water + fiber‑rich foods (crucifers, leafy greens, berries) to support elimination pathways.

• Notes: Not for pregnancy. If you’re on prescription meds or hormone therapy, consult your clinician for timing.

Phase Stacks for Real‑Life Routines

On‑Ramp (Weeks 0–4):

• EternaFuel + CardioFuel → morning energy + daily inflammatory balance.

• Why it works: Front‑loads daytime energy while smoothing recovery. Easy two‑supplement cadence builds the habit.

Stabilize (Weeks 4–8):

• NeuroMag + BoneShield → sleep/stress support + calcium direction.

• Why it works: Better sleep and micronutrient balance amplify training, mood, and daytime energy.

Optimize (Weeks 8–16):

• PowerForge + EternaFuel → training capacity, recovery, and recomp support.

• Why it works: Creatine improves high‑output efforts; mitochondrial support assists day‑to‑day performance.

Maintain (16+ Weeks):

• CardioFuel + BalanceForge → ongoing brain/heart/joint support + estrogen pathway balance.

• Why it works: Long‑term foundations for feeling and performing well.

Featured Stacks: Why They Work Better Together

Peak Vitality Stack (Energy + Focus + Cardiometabolic)

EternaFuel™ Mito Support + NeuroMag™ Power (magnesium L‑threonate) + CardioFuel™ Omega (EPA/DHA/DPA, triglyceride form)

• How they complement each other:

  • EternaFuel supports mitochondrial output for steady daytime energy.

  • NeuroMag supports calm focus and sleep quality—sleep is where recovery consolidates, which increases the “return” on daytime energy support.

  • CardioFuel provides bioavailable omega‑3s that support brain membranes and inflammatory balance—useful for focus, joints, and overall cardiometabolic health.

• Why better together than alone: Energy support (mitochondria) + neuronal magnesium + membrane‑level omega‑3s target three bottlenecks at once—production, signaling, and recovery—raising the perceived likelihood of day‑to‑day wins.

• Simple plan: AM: EternaFuel + CardioFuel with breakfast. PM: NeuroMag 60–90 min before bed.

Strength & Recovery Stack (Performance + Recovery + Bone Support)

PowerForge™ Creatine (5 g monohydrate) + NeuroMag™ Power + BoneShield™ K2+D3 (MK‑7)

• How they complement each other:

  • PowerForge supports ATP regeneration for power and training volume.

  • NeuroMag supports restorative sleep and cognitive clarity—key for adaptation and form.

  • BoneShield supports smart calcium direction and bone integrity to match higher training loads.

• Why better together than alone: Training capacity (creatine) converts to actual progress when recovery (magnesium‑supported sleep) and bone support (K2/D3) are in place—minimizing effort/sacrifice by reducing common plateaus.

• Simple plan: Daily: 5 g PowerForge at any consistent time. Midday/with fat: BoneShield. Evening: NeuroMag before bed.

Hormone Harmony Stack (Balance + Bone + Heart)

BalanceForge™ Estro (DIM + I3C) + BoneShield™ K2+D3 + CardioFuel™ Omega

• How they complement each other:

  • BalanceForge supports healthy estrogen metabolism and liver pathways.

  • BoneShield supports calcium direction for skeletal/vascular health.

  • CardioFuel supports everyday heart/brain balance and inflammatory tone.

• Why better together than alone: Metabolism of estrogens (DIM/I3C) works best alongside nutrient cofactors for bones/vasculature (K2/D3) and omega‑3s for membrane and inflammatory balance—covering multiple systems that influence how you feel and perform.

• Simple plan: AM or lunch: BalanceForge with water and fiber‑rich foods. With a meal containing fat: BoneShield + CardioFuel.

Compliance note: Products support healthy function and routines. They don’t diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Always consult your clinician, especially with medications, pregnancy, or hormone therapy.

Lifestyle “Multipliers” That Improve Supplement ROI

• Protein target: Aim for a protein source each meal to support recovery and appetite control.

• Color + fiber: 2–3 colorful plants per meal to support micronutrients and elimination pathways.

• Hydration:

  • Start day with 12–16 oz water.

  • Target clear/pale‑yellow urine by afternoon.

• Sleep: 7–9 hours in a cool, dark room. Morning light + evening wind‑down magnify NeuroMag’s benefits.

• Training: 2–4 strength sessions/week + 6–10k daily steps. Creatine shines more when you train.

• Alcohol: Moderate intake; alcohol can undermine sleep and recovery.

Simple Adherence Systems (because consistency wins)

• Habit stack: Tie doses to existing anchors (breakfast, desk water bottle, gym bag).

• Pill system: Use a 7‑day organizer; pre‑build weekly.

• Two‑bottle rule: Reorder when you open your last bottle.

• Travel kit: Pre‑pack a small pouch with 3–7 days of essentials.

• Calendar nudge: Set repeating reminders for AM/PM routines.

A Sample Day (Feel free to adapt)

• Morning (breakfast): EternaFuel + CardioFuel with protein‑rich meal and water.

• Midday (lunch): BoneShield with a meal that has some healthy fat.

• Training window: PowerForge anytime you’ll remember (pre‑ or post‑workout/with a shake).

• Evening (1–2 hrs before bed): NeuroMag; dim lights; screens off.

• Any daytime meal: BalanceForge with water and fiber‑rich foods.

Tip: If that feels like too much at once, start with the On‑Ramp stack. Add one product per week until you reach your target stack.

Common Questions

Do I need to cycle creatine? No. Daily 5 g is a simple, well‑tolerated routine for most adults. Consult your clinician if unsure.

Can I take omega‑3s on an empty stomach? You can, but taking with a meal that contains fat generally improves comfort and absorption.

What if I forget a dose? Don’t double up (unless your clinician advises). Resume at the next planned time.

Can I combine BalanceForge with other supplements? Yes, commonly with omega‑3s and magnesium. Keep your clinician in the loop, especially with medications.
