Performance Training Center Supplements
Practitioner-Grade Supplements
Built on Science, Priced for Clients
Our Designs for Health supplements gives Performance Training Center clients access to the same pharmaceutical-grade supplements we use in our practice. Higher potency, third-party tested, and built for the real outcomes our training programs are designed to drive.
Why Practitioner-Grade Matters
The supplement industry is unregulated. Retail-shelf products routinely fail third-party testing for label accuracy, contaminant load, and active ingredient potency. Practitioner-grade supplements — only sold through credentialed health professionals — are formulated to a different standard.
Third-Party Verified
Every Designs for Health product is independently tested for purity, identity, and potency. Heavy metal, pesticide, and microbial screens on every lot.
Bioavailable Forms
Magnesium glycinate, methylated B vitamins, vitamin D3 with K2, EPA-rich fish oil — the chemistries that actually absorb and act in the body.
Clinical Doses
Active ingredients at the doses used in the research, not the marketing-friendly micro-doses that allow products to claim ingredients without delivering effect.
Foundational Stack — The Big Four
These four categories produce the majority of measurable health changes our clients see when they add supplementation to a structured training and nutrition program.
Cardiovascular · Cognitive · Anti-Inflammatory
Omega-3 Fish Oil (EPA + DHA)
Concentrated EPA and DHA at clinical doses. The most-studied supplement in nutritional science — with documented effects on triglycerides, blood pressure, mood, joint inflammation, and cognitive function.
The REDUCE-IT trial (Bhatt et al., NEJM 2019) demonstrated that high-dose EPA significantly reduced cardiovascular events. Meta-analyses show 7-15% reductions in cardiovascular mortality with adequate intake. PubMed
Sleep · Stress · Cardiovascular · Migraine
Magnesium Glycinate
The most bioavailable, best-tolerated form of magnesium. Magnesium is the second-most-common nutrient deficiency in modern diets — and its replacement produces measurable improvements in sleep latency, blood pressure, and stress resilience.
Meta-analyses of magnesium supplementation show systolic BP reductions of 3-4 mmHg and diastolic of 2-3 mmHg over 3-24 weeks. The American Academy of Neurology classifies magnesium as probably effective for migraine prevention. NIH Fact Sheet
Vitamin D3 + K2
D3 paired with K2 (MK-7) for proper calcium handling. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with impaired strength adaptations, depressed mood, reduced immune competence, and bone density loss. K2 co-supplementation directs calcium into bone and away from arteries.
Vitamin D supplementation in deficient adults has been shown to improve muscle strength, balance, and fall risk. NIH ODS Health Professional Fact Sheet summarizes the evidence base. NIH Fact Sheet
Strength · Cognition · Recovery
Creatine Monohydrate
The most-researched performance supplement ever studied. Documented effects on strength, lean mass, anaerobic power, and cognitive performance under stress — with one of the strongest safety profiles of any sport supplement.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition Position Stand on Creatine Monohydrate (Kreider et al., 2017) reviews 500+ studies confirming efficacy, safety, and recommended protocols. PubMed
Gut & Microbiome Support
Most clients chasing fat loss, energy, or performance plateaus eventually hit a wall the macros can\u2019t explain. The gut is almost always part of the answer. Designs for Health\u2019s gut and microbiome line is what we reach for when functional lab testing identifies dysbiosis, inflammation, or barrier integrity issues.
Probiotic Synergy
Multi-strain probiotic delivering clinically-validated species at doses shown to support gut barrier function, immune modulation, and post-antibiotic microbiome restoration. Refrigerated stability for guaranteed potency at expiration.
A 2017 meta-analysis (Ouwehand et al., Beneficial Microbes) confirmed that specific probiotic strains support gut barrier function and short-chain fatty acid production — mechanisms tied to systemic inflammation control. PubMed
GI Microb-X
Antimicrobial botanical blend formulated for clients with confirmed dysbiosis or overgrowth patterns on microbiome testing. Used under practitioner guidance as part of a structured gut protocol.
Botanical antimicrobials (berberine, oregano, etc.) have been studied as alternatives to pharmaceutical antimicrobials for SIBO management. Chedid et al. 2014 found botanical therapy was at least as effective as rifaximin for SIBO resolution. PubMed
GI Revive
L-glutamine, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, slippery elm, marshmallow root, aloe, and zinc-carnosine — the gut-barrier repair stack used after antimicrobial protocols or for chronic GI symptoms with inflammation markers.
L-glutamine supplementation in deficient or stressed individuals has been shown to support intestinal barrier function and reduce permeability markers. PubMed
Performance, Recovery & Energy
The performance stack — protein, mitochondrial support, adaptogens for stress — built around the training program rather than as a substitute for it.
Whey Cool / Pure PaleoMeal
Grass-fed whey protein and paleo-style meal replacement options. Designed to hit the 1.6–2.2 g/kg/day protein target we set in our nutrition framework — without the artificial sweeteners, fillers, and seed oils that contaminate retail protein.
Morton et al. 2018 (BJSM) established the protein dose-response plateau at 1.62 g/kg/day for resistance-trained adults — the basis for our protein targeting. PubMed · See our nutrition framework →
Mitochondrial NRG
Comprehensive mitochondrial support blend — CoQ10, PQQ, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and B vitamins. Used for clients reporting chronic fatigue, exercise intolerance, or stalled performance despite a clean training and nutrition program.
Mitochondrial cofactor supplementation has been studied for chronic fatigue syndrome and exercise-related fatigue. Coenzyme Q10 has documented benefits for muscle performance and cardiovascular function. PubMed
Adrenotone / Ashwagandha
Adaptogenic herbs for clients dealing with chronic stress, sleep disruption, or cortisol dysregulation. Particularly effective for executives and high-output professionals whose stress load exceeds their recovery capacity.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) supplementation has been shown to reduce perceived stress and serum cortisol in stressed adults. Chandrasekhar et al. 2012 documented significant cortisol reductions and stress-score improvements. PubMed
Inflammatone / Curcumin
Curcumin (turmeric extract) with bioavailability enhancers and complementary anti-inflammatory cofactors. Used for clients managing chronic joint inflammation, post-exercise recovery, or systemic inflammation markers identified on functional testing.
Curcumin has documented anti-inflammatory effects comparable to NSAIDs in some studies, with a significantly better safety profile when bioavailability is optimized. PubMed
Targeted Add-Ons — Daily Optimization
Practitioner add-ons many of my clients keep in their daily rotation. Bioavailable forms, clinical doses, and the same supplements pricing.
B-Supreme
Activated B-complex with methylated folate (5-MTHF), methylcobalamin (B12), and B6 as P-5-P — the bioavailable forms used in research on methylation, homocysteine, and energy metabolism.
Methylated folate (5-MTHF) bypasses common MTHFR variants and elevates plasma folate more reliably than synthetic folic acid. (Pietrzik et al., 2010) PubMed
ADK Evail
Vitamins A (retinyl palmitate), D3 (cholecalciferol), and K2 (MK-7) in an emulsified, lipid-delivery base. K2 directs calcium to bone matrix and away from arteries when paired with D3.
MK-7 supplementation improved arterial stiffness and matrix Gla-protein activation over 3 years in healthy postmenopausal women. (Knapen et al., Thromb Haemost 2015) PubMed
BergaVin
Standardized bergamot polyphenolic fraction (Bergavit®) plus grape seed extract. Used in clinical research on LDL-C, triglycerides, and glycemic control in adults with elevated cardiometabolic risk.
Bergamot polyphenols (500 mg/day) significantly reduced LDL-C and triglycerides while improving HDL in dyslipidemic adults. (Mollace et al., Fitoterapia 2011) PubMed
ElectroPure Hydration
Clean electrolyte matrix — sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride — without artificial colors or sugar. Built for training in San Diego heat and longer-duration sessions where sweat losses outpace plain water.
ACSM Position Stand: sodium-containing fluids accelerate plasma volume restoration and improve performance in exercise >1 hour. (ACSM, MSSE 2007) PubMed
