Last week the @joinsuppco team met in New York for our quarterly onsite. 🏙️ We got to meet a few people from the @function team in person and spend real time together talking through how we're building toward the same mission. We also pushed forward on some meaningful work, threw a surprise baby shower, went bowling, and caught an art installation. A full week in every sense. There's nothing like time with your team to do your best work. More to come. 🤩

Most people think about Alzheimer's prevention the way they think about retirement savings. Something to get serious about eventually. New research suggests the window that matters may already be open. Participants had their vitamin D measured at an average age of 39. Sixteen years later, their brains were scanned for tau, the protein that forms tangles and is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Higher vitamin D status at 39 was associated with measurably less tau at 55. In the exact regions responsible for memory formation. About a third of participants had vitamin D below 30 ng/mL. A level many clinicians consider inadequate. A level you can only know with a blood test. Dr. Jordan Glenn, SuppCo's Head of Science, covers the biology, the study's real limits, and what "cautious optimism" actually looks like in practice. 📖 Science Corner article: supp.co/articles/science-cor… 🔬 Study: neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

If you're taking a generic scoop of collagen and hoping it covers your skin, joints, bones, and muscles all at once, you may not be getting what you paid for. Collagen is not a single product that does a single thing. The type, amount, and timing that work for joint health are often quite different from what your skin actually needs. A growing body of clinical evidence suggests that collagen is a numbers game, and it's easy to take too little. We stripped away the vague label marketing to give you a clear, evidence-based framework for how to actually buy and take it in our latest #collagen guide → supp.co/articles/supplement-…

The @TimbersFC have one dietitian for the entire club. Every player, every travel day, every game day runs through Emily Smith.

The beauty industry is worth billions, but new products hit the shelves a lot faster than the clinical trials can keep up with. It's easy for a company to explain how an ingredient is supposed to work in the body, but that's not the same as proving it actually does anything when you swallow it as a capsule. If you want to know if a product is worth your money, you have to look past the generic marketing claims and ask the only four questions that matter: what specific change was studied, at what dose, in what kind of people, and for how many weeks? In our latest guide, we broke down the actual data behind the beauty ingredients that cleared the bar. The best strategy isn't buying a generic "beauty blend" and hoping for the best. It's matching a highly specific, clinically studied ingredient to the exact issue you want to fix. Read the full, evidence-backed breakdown here: supp.co/articles/supplement-…

Most collagen content is still stuck talking about skin and joints. The actual science has moved on. Our Head of Science breaks down three areas of collagen research that rarely get covered: supp.co/articles/supplement-…

Designs for Health is now TESTED by SuppCo. 🎉 @Designs4Health has around 400 products designed around the functional medicine toolkit, and formulated with a Science-First™ ethos. They're known as the tip of the spear for translating new science into clinical products.

Scientists put the three biggest fitness supplements in a room together and ran the data to see who won. 🏆 A brand new study out of Sejong University put creatine, protein, and omega-3s head-to-head across 35 clinical trials and 1,211 trained athletes. For the first time, researchers didn't just test them against a fake sugar pill. They used a specific ranking system to score them directly against each other for strength, endurance, and recovery. The results completely flipped the script. We broke down the entire three-round bracket, including the specific daily dosages and timing thresholds required to actually see a difference. See how the bracket played out in our full Science Corner breakdown: supp.co/articles/science-cor…

If you're taking the exact same dose of collagen for your skin as you are for your joints, you may be missing the mark. 👀 The collagen market has exploded into a multi-billion-dollar industry, but the marketing rarely explains that different biological targets may call for different strategies. A review of over 60 clinical studies suggests that collagen efficacy often comes down to a numbers game. If your goal is skin elasticity, hydration, or appearance of fine lines, the clinical data suggests that a smaller daily dose around 2.5 to 5 grams of hydrolyzed collagen may be enough to see a difference. But if you're looking to support joint comfort, bone health, or muscle recovery, that small dose may not be sufficient. The data suggests scaling up to around 15 grams per day to support meaningful changes in musculoskeletal tissues. And timing matters just as much as the amount you take. Visible changes in skin texture or improvements in joint comfort may show up around 8 to 12 weeks of daily use. But for shifts in bone-related markers, it can be more of a slow burn, with research suggesting a year or more of consistent supplementation before changes register. The best strategy is to stop reaching for generic scoops and start matching your daily dose to the tissue you want to support.

By your mid-20s, you lose about 1% of your body’s collagen every year. Most people buy it for the "glow," but collagen is actually the structural scaffolding for your bones, joints, and tendons. When that scaffolding thins, your physical integrity goes with it. Read our full guide on what #collagen actually is: supp.co/articles/supplement-…

ICYMI: @joinsuppco is joining @function 🎉 Our Co-founders @smart and Nick Michlewicz have been Function members since 2022. Steve tracking his metabolic biomarkers. Nick managing his ApoB and cardiovascular health. This didn't come out of nowhere. Together with Function CEO & Co-founder @swerdlin, we're building what's never existed before: a direct line from your biology to your supplement stack. Steve and Nick wrote about what this means, why it's happening, and what comes next → supp.co/articles/founders-no…

I love this. Knew this would come one day and it’s a great marriage.@function member since 2024, I always pop by @joinsuppco app to check ingredients and ratings before making any purchases. In an unregulated environment, I feel safe picking a reviewed product through SuppCo.

so excited for @smart and the whole teams at @joinsuppco and @function. we @CompoundVC are proud partners of SuppCo and their work has compelled us even further over the years that patients and consumers need excellent health products. that's what SuppCo showed the world. elite tech-UI/UX on health friction points has significant latent demand. we couldn't think of a better home than @function and can't wait to see what their joined forces brings. hint: a through line from your supplement stack to your biology.

We're thrilled to share that @function has officially acquired @joinsuppco. More than 60% of Americans take dietary supplements, yet for decades, the category has lacked an independent standard for trust, efficacy, and safety. The number one question we get at SuppCo is: "How do I know my supplements are actually working for me?" Today, we're officially one step closer to closing that loop. Function helps you monitor your health through a comprehensive baseline of 160 lab tests and imaging. SuppCo provides the independent trust layer to help you verify the quality and science behind the supplements you put into your body. Together with the Function team, we're going to build something that's never been built before: a clear line from your biology to your supplement stack, with direct insights into what’s working for you. We're incredibly excited to join Function and contribute to their mission of helping everyone live 100 healthy years. Read the full announcement here: prnewswire.com/news-releases…

Steve @smart is a generational talent. He is the best consumer founder I have ever known.
