People who train often and sweat heavily should pay particular attention. This article explains, in everyday language, how to arrange magnesium and the nutrients needed for exercise recovery in groups, and how BLNC uses your genes to select the 6 formulas you take each month from 11 fixed formulas.

This article explains vegan Omega-3 algal oil in plain language: why it is hard to get enough DHA from a plant-based diet, how algal oil differs from fish oil, how FADS genes can influence your direction, and how BLNC uses genetics to select the formulas you receive each month.

Nutrient Absorption in Older Adults: Pairing Calcium, Vitamin D and Magnesium

A shelf full of supplements for older adults, but not sure the nutrients are paired correctly? Vitamin D increases calcium absorption and vitamin K promotes the calcification of bone, and magnesium has a role in between; each person also differs in how they tend to use vitamin D and calcium, which a brand name cannot tell you. This guide explains in plain language why calcium is paired with vitamin D and K, what magnesium does, and how BLNC uses your genes to choose the right 6 formulas each month from 11.

How to Choose Menopause Supplements: Pair Calcium Correctly and Consider Genetics

This article explains in plain language how to choose menopause supplements, why calcium should not be chosen by brand alone, and how genetics can serve as a reference for pairing calcium with vitamin D and prioritizing formulas.

Recommended Men's Supplements: The Science Behind Zinc, Magnesium, and Astaxanthin

Zinc, magnesium, and astaxanthin each have their own place among men’s supplements, and choosing the right direction matters more than taking more. Many men start paying attention to everyday nutrition after 35; rather than buying by reputation, first understand what each of the three is for. This article explains the respective roles of zinc, magnesium, and astaxanthin for men and how BLNC arranges 6 formulas each month from a fixed pool of 11: probiotics are fixed, and the other 5 are selected through a two-layer genetic interpretation, instead of giving you all of them.
