The Foundational Stack

DAVE LEE'S DAILY FOUNDATION

The Foundational Stack

The three supplements I take every day — and the first three I put my clients on. Fully dosed and third-party quality tested.

Why these three

I've coached 3,000+ men through hormone optimization, and the supplement aisle drove me crazy — under-dosed, proprietary blends, no testing. Marek is what I wished existed: clinician-formulated, fully dosed, and third-party tested with COAs you can actually read. These three are part of my own daily routine and the foundation I start almost everyone on.

Marek Supplements Liver Support — black 180-capsule bottle with TUDCA, glycine, myo-inositol, and citicoline

Liver Support

$101.25 $125.00 with code DAVELEE

I take this one daily. If you're optimizing hormones, your liver does the work — TUDCA is my non-negotiable for supporting liver health and healthy bile flow.

Berberine⁵

$60.75 $75.00 with code DAVELEE

A staple in my own stack. Metabolic health is the whole game — berberine supports healthy blood-sugar and lipid metabolism.

Marek Supplements Calm — black 90-capsule bottle with phosphatidylserine, rhodiola, vitamin C, zinc, saffron, and L-theanine

Calm

$60.75 $75.00 with code DAVELEE

Part of my nightly wind-down. Testosterone is built during sleep, and Calm helps me actually recover.

INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED

The data behind the stack

I don't put my name on anything I haven't seen the lab work for. Every Marek batch is tested by LC-MS/MS at two independent labs — potency, heavy metals, the works. That's why I'm confident recommending these to my clients, and taking them myself.
