The Formulation Catalogue
Documenting Active Men's Supplement Compositions.
Fifty-two independently reviewed formulation entries, indexed by ingredient category, sourcing region, and verification status. Each entry follows the same four-stage review protocol.
01 — Catalogue Categories
Energy and Focus
14 entries
The energy and focus category documents formulations whose ingredient profiles engage the nutritional mechanisms associated with sustained cognitive and physical energy. Primary constituents under review include the B-vitamin complex — B6, B9, and B12 in particular — magnesium contributions to normal energy metabolism, and the role of whole-food coenzyme sources in supporting cellular energy production.
Adaptogen constituents documented in this category include ashwagandha root extract, rhodiola rosea, and panax ginseng — each reviewed for source-region documentation and independent verification of active content. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy production; magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. These are established nutritional roles recognised in published research; Taldon does not extend beyond these documented positions.
Stamina Support
11 entriesFormulations in the stamina support category are reviewed for their nutritional contribution to endurance capacity and sustained output across extended activity periods. The category is particularly relevant to men engaged in regular endurance work — running, cycling, rowing, and mixed-modality training — where nutrient density and timing of intake become more significant.
Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body; vitamin C supports normal function of the immune system and enhances iron absorption. CoQ10 is involved in cellular energy production. These roles are documented against published nutritional research sources; formulation entries note the concentration of each active ingredient per standard serving and the origin of source materials where available.
Strength and Recovery
9 entries
The strength and recovery category addresses the nutritional requirements associated with resistance training, post-exercise recovery, and the maintenance of normal muscle function. Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis; magnesium contributes to normal muscle function. Vitamin D3 supports the normal function of the immune system. These are the documented nutritional roles that shape entry criteria for this category.
Whole-food protein-adjacent ingredients reviewed in this category include plant-based amino acid concentrates, hemp seed extract, and whole-grain sprouted sources. Each is reviewed against available documentation from the manufacturer's certificate of composition and any independent batch analysis. Mineral chelation forms — bisglycinate, glycinate, citrate — are noted where specified, as bioavailability data differs across forms.
Lean Body Support
8 entriesThis category focuses on formulations whose ingredient profiles address the nutritional demands of active men maintaining consistent resistance and cardiovascular training programmes. The lean body support classification is an activity-focused documentation set, not a weight management category. No formulations in this section make claims related to rapid body composition change.
Zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism; chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels; green tea extract is reviewed for its polyphenol content. Whole-food fibre sources are noted for their contribution to normal digestive function. Each ingredient review includes a notation on the available evidence base — robust, moderate, or limited — to assist informed reading.
Healthy Ageing for Men
10 entries
The healthy ageing category documents formulations relevant to men in the thirty-five to sixty-five age range who maintain active lifestyles and seek to support their nutritional baseline as biological requirements shift across the decades. The editorial focus is on ingredient categories with documented roles in cognitive function, joint mobility, cardiovascular nutrient support, and oxidative balance.
Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress; vitamin E supports normal protection of cells from oxidative stress; omega-3 fatty acid sources are reviewed for EPA and DHA content and documented marine or algal origin. Resveratrol, curcumin, and quercetin are reviewed as polyphenol-class constituents with documented research profiles. Source origin and extraction method are noted for all botanical concentrates in this category.
Mineral Complex Formulations
6 entriesMineral complex formulations are documented separately from single-mineral entries, given the interaction effects that occur when multiple minerals are combined in a single formulation. Bioavailability of individual minerals can be influenced by companion minerals present in the same serving. This category addresses the composition, ratio, and chelation form of multi-mineral products.
Full-spectrum mineral complexes reviewed in this category typically include magnesium, zinc, calcium, potassium, manganese, copper, and iodine. Each entry notes the form in which each mineral is present — oxide, citrate, bisglycinate, glycinate, or whole-food matrix — alongside the standard serving quantity and an assessment of available documentation from the manufacturer. Sourcing geography for mineral-rich botanical matrices is noted where available.
