The Core Four: A Clinically Dosed System Clients Can Actually Follow
A well-designed supplement plan can still be hard to keep up with. You may recommend four or five products, each for a good reason, but three weeks later a client may be taking only two and struggling to remember what the others were for.
The Based Vitality Core Four gives clients a simpler routine to follow, with four clinically dosed formulas organized around four moments in their day.
What Makes This Different from a Bundle
Most supplement "stacks" are four SKUs sold together at a discount. The Core Four is architected differently in three ways that matter clinically.
1. Clinical doses, not label decoration. Every ingredient is included at a clinically studied dose. No proprietary blends. No trace amounts added so a compound can appear on the panel. You can read the label, check the dose against the literature, and know exactly what your client is taking before you recommend it.
2. Designed around the day, not the category. Each formula does one job at one time. The daytime stress formula is non-sedating, and the sleep formula is melatonin-free. Clients aren't asked to sort out timing on their own.
3. Verified manufacturing. GMP-certified production, third-party tested including heavy metals, non-GMO and gluten-free. That's the answer to the question your clients ask every week.

The Four Formulas
Pre-Workout: Output Without the Crash
L-Citrulline, Beta-Alanine, Betaine Anhydrous, Beet Root, Taurine, Pink Himalayan Salt, caffeine anhydrous, theobromine.
What the client gets: stronger training output, better endurance, and energy that doesn't spike and collapse.
What's different: most pre-workouts chase intensity by stacking stimulants. This one pairs caffeine with theobromine to smooth the curve, and includes citrulline and beet root at doses that actually support nitric oxide production. That's the difference between a formula that works and one that just tingles.
Memory & Focus: Cognitive Stamina Without More Caffeine
L-Tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, Lion's Mane, Bacopa, Ginkgo, Huperzine A, Acetyl L-Carnitine, B vitamins.
What the client gets: sustained attention through a demanding workday, sharper recall, and less late-afternoon mental fatigue.
What's different: it builds focus through cholinergic and catecholamine pathways rather than escalating stimulant load. For clients already at their caffeine ceiling, that's the whole point.
Stress & Mood: Calm That Fits a Working Day
Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, L-Theanine (Suntheanine®), Passion Flower, Saffron, Magnesium.
What the client gets: steadier stress tolerance and emotional balance without feeling flattened or foggy.
What's different: most stress products sedate. This one is formulated to be non-sedating and stimulant-free, so clients can take it at 2pm on a hard day instead of waiting until the day is over.
Sleep & Recovery: Downshift, Not Sedation
Valerian, Passion Flower, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, GABA, L-Theanine, Magnesium Glycinate, 5-HTP.
What the client gets: easier sleep onset, deeper overnight recovery, and mornings without the hangover.
What's different: it's melatonin-free. Rather than pushing hormonal timing, it supports the parasympathetic downshift that makes restorative sleep possible. For the large group of clients who've built melatonin tolerance, wake groggy, or don't want to supplement a hormone nightly, that's a meaningful alternative.

Why the System Outperforms the Parts
Four formulas at clinical doses is the input. The output is adherence.
One routine, not four decisions. Clients can describe it back to you at follow-up: before I train, at my desk, when I'm stretched thin, before bed.
Fewer variables. When response changes, you're reading one system instead of four unrelated products from four brands.
Coverage across the whole day. Energy, focus, stress, and sleep aren't separate complaints. They drive each other. Supporting one while ignoring the rest is why single-product recommendations stall.
One reorder point. Not four staggered ones that quietly fall out of rotation.
A client who can explain their own routine is a client who's still on it.
Clinical Considerations
Caffeine timing. Pre-Workout contains caffeine. Set a cutoff time so it doesn't undercut the sleep formula.
5-HTP. Review against SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, triptans, or tramadol before recommending.
Ashwagandha. Assess in thyroid conditions, autoimmune presentations, pregnancy, and lactation.
Valerian. May compound sedatives, benzodiazepines, or alcohol.
Cumulative intake. Magnesium and L-Theanine appear in both the stress and sleep formulas by design. Account for the daily total.
Beta-alanine tingling is expected and transient. Tell clients first and you'll prevent an abandoned bottle.
Who It Fits
Clients managing high cognitive and physical demand at once. Clients who train and want performance support without a crash. Clients who've tried melatonin without success. And clients who do better with structure than with a list of individual recommendations.
Busy professionals, active adults, parents, students, and anyone whose last routines fell apart because it was too complicated to keep up.
Setting Expectations
Two different response curves live in this box, and clients should hear that up front.
"You'll feel the pre-workout on day one. The other three build. Give them three to four weeks before we evaluate. We'll track your focus, stress, and sleep over that window."
That framing keeps your recommendation from being judged on week one.
The Bottom Line
Clinical doses matter, but clients also need a routine they can remember. The Core Four brings together four transparent, clinically dosed formulas with a clear place in the day for each one. That makes it easier for clients to follow your recommendation and easier for you to discuss what they’ve actually been taking at their next visit.
The plan you put together during an appointment has to make sense in the hours that follow it.
