What Stack-kit is
Stack-kit is the curated, brand-agnostic, evidence-based personal-health protocol publication. We tell you which supplements (and devices, and lifestyle layers) to take for your specific goal, when, the brand we'd buy, the mechanism, the cited study, and — usually — what to cut.
Four commitments
1. We name what to cut.
Across every domain. Most readers come to us over-stacked. Half our protocols explicitly remove supplements the reader is currently taking. This is the load-bearing differentiator vs every supplement-marketing competitor in every category.
2. We cite mechanism, not marketing.
Every protocol entry names the supplement, the brand we recommend, the dose, the timing, the mechanism (half-life, absorption window, co-factor requirements, medication interactions), the evidence (specific study with N + effect size), and the contexts where we'd recommend skipping it. Zero adjectives that aren't earned by data.
3. We have no SKUs to protect.
Brand-agnostic recommendations are the moat. When a brand's third-party testing pattern changes, we change the recommendation across affected cells and email past buyers. When a meta-analysis shifts the picture on supplement Y, we update the protocols. We don't have a stack-of-the-month to push.
4. We refuse pseudoscience even when the cell-class is full of it.
Especially in cleanse / detox cells. Half of those claims don't survive scrutiny; we name which ones and why. The same rigor applies in cognitive (we refuse "supplements replace ADHD medication"), cardiovascular (we refuse "supplements replace statin therapy"), longevity (we refuse the anti-aging supplement-industrial-complex marketing).
Who we serve
People serious enough about a specific health goal to read protocol-density content and spend money to skip research time. Endurance athletes prepping for race day. Knowledge workers running 6-10 hour cognitive days. Adults managing cholesterol. People in the perimenopausal transition. Buyers who suspect the cleanse industry is mostly snake oil but want the protocol that actually has evidence behind it.
Who we don't serve
Supplement-curious wellness consumers without a specific protocol goal. Bro-supplement audiences. Anyone whose primary outcome is aesthetic-without-function.
How we sound
Like your most rigorous research-trained friend just sent you a Notion doc with the actual protocol, the brand they actually buy, and a paragraph at the bottom about which three supplements you can stop taking.
Authorship
Stack-kit is editorial-led with research-aided composition. Every protocol carries an audit trail back to the source studies. Where we're uncertain, we say so. Where research is moving, we say what we're watching and when we'd amend the protocol.
