Why We Chose These 6 Ingredients for Prema

Why We Chose These 6 Ingredients for Prema

7 min read | By the Prema Nutrition Founders

We could have created another "me-too" supplement line. Thrown together trending ingredients, slapped on a label, and called it a day.

Instead, we spent two years researching, testing, and refining. We consulted Ayurvedic masters in India, studied thousands of research papers, and tested countless formulations on ourselves.

The result? Six products that represent the essential pillars of human optimization—each one addressing a fundamental need that modern life has disrupted.

Here's the honest story behind every choice we made.

The Philosophy: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Validation

Our criteria for every ingredient:

  1. Historical use of 1,000+ years (proven by time)
  2. Modern clinical validation (proven by science)
  3. Addresses a modern deficiency (solving real problems)
  4. Synergistic with other ingredients (amplified benefits)
  5. Sustainably sourceable (respect for earth)

If an ingredient didn't meet ALL five criteria, it didn't make the cut. Period.

Product 1: Ayurvedic Complex – The Foundation

Why We Created It: Modern life is an adaptation nightmare. Chronic stress, environmental toxins, processed foods—our ancestors never faced this assault. We needed a formula that would help bodies remember how to adapt.

The Star Players We Chose:

Ashwagandha (2.5% Extract): The most studied adaptogen on earth. Reduces cortisol by 30%, improves thyroid function, enhances strength. We chose KSM-66 extraction for maximum potency.

Turmeric (95% Curcuminoids): Not the kitchen spice version. Our extract is standardized to 95% curcuminoids—that's 50x more powerful than regular turmeric. Combined with black pepper for 2000% better absorption.

Shilajit: The mineral matrix modern humans desperately need. 85+ minerals plus fulvic acid that makes everything else work better. Sourced only from high Himalayas, tested for heavy metals.

Holy Basil (Tulsi): The "incomparable one" in Ayurveda. Normalizes blood sugar, cortisol, and immune function. Sacred for a reason.

Triphala: Three fruits that reset your entire digestive system. Most people don't realize—this formula has been unchanged for 3,000 years because it's perfect.

Why This Combination: These aren't random adaptogens. This is a classical Ayurvedic formulation called a "Rasayana"—designed to rejuvenate every system in your body simultaneously.

Product 2: Beetroot Powder – The Performance Enhancer

Why We Created It: Our ancestors walked 20,000 steps daily. Modern humans barely manage 3,000. We needed something to bridge the performance gap—naturally.

What Makes Ours Different:

Beetroot: Increases nitric oxide by 21% in 45 minutes. But straight beet juice is harsh. We balanced it with:

Hibiscus: Additional cardiovascular support plus vitamin C. Studies show it reduces blood pressure as effectively as medication.

Apple Powder: Natural sweetness without sugar spike. Plus quercetin for additional antioxidant power.

The Science We Couldn't Ignore: Olympic athletes have been using beetroot for years. Studies show 16% improvement in time to exhaustion. We made it actually taste good so you'd take it daily, not just pre-workout.

Product 3: Joint Support – The Mobility Protector

Why We Created It: Joint pain shouldn't be inevitable. Our ancestors maintained mobility into old age. The difference? They had different inflammation levels and better mineral status.

The Non-Negotiable Ingredients:

MSM (OptiMSM®): The only MSM proven pure enough for human consumption. Reduces joint pain by 33% in clinical trials.

GlucosaGreen®: Vegetable-sourced glucosamine. Same efficacy as shellfish-derived, zero allergen risk, 100% sustainable.

Boswellia (65% Boswellic Acids): More powerful than NSAIDs for reducing inflammatory markers, zero gut damage.

Hyaluronic Acid: Your joints are literally lubricated by this. Production decreases with age—supplementation restores it.

Why This Formula Works: Most joint supplements just mask pain. Ours actually rebuilds cartilage, reduces inflammation, and improves synovial fluid. It's reconstruction, not band-aids.

Product 4: Probiotic 40 Billion – The Gut Optimizer

Why We Created It: Your ancestors got probiotics from soil, fermented foods, and less sterile environments. You get... chlorinated water and antibiotics. The gap is massive.

The Strains That Matter:

Lactobacillus Acidophilus: The workhorse. Produces natural antibiotics, improves lactose digestion, reduces cholesterol.

Bifidobacterium Lactis: The immune booster. Increases antibody production, reduces respiratory infections.

Lactobacillus Plantarum: The gut barrier protector. Reduces intestinal permeability (leaky gut), produces B vitamins.

Lactobacillus Paracasei: The inflammation fighter. Reduces allergic responses, improves skin conditions.

The Delivery System That Changes Everything: MAKTREK® Bi-Pass Technology. Your stomach acid kills 96% of probiotics. Our patented system ensures 20x better survival. 40 billion CFUs actually means 40 billion reaching your intestines.

Product 5: Apple Cider Vinegar Complex – The Metabolic Optimizer

Why We Created It: ACV works. Studies prove it. But drinking it destroys tooth enamel and burns your esophagus. We fixed that.

Beyond Basic ACV:

1000mg ACV Powder: Same acetic acid content, zero acid damage.

Inulin (Prebiotic): Feeds beneficial bacteria. Your probiotics need food too.

DigeZyme® Enzyme Complex: Five enzymes that break down every macronutrient. Better digestion = better everything.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus: Additional probiotic support right where digestion happens.

Why This Combination: Most people take ACV for weight loss. But the real benefit is optimized digestion. When you digest better, you absorb more nutrients, have less inflammation, and yes—metabolism improves too.

Product 6: The One We Haven't Launched Yet

We're perfecting one more formula. Can't reveal details yet, but here's a hint: It addresses the modern epidemic that didn't exist 100 years ago, using an ingredient your great-grandmother used daily.

The Ingredients We Rejected (And Why)

Garcinia Cambogia: Trendy but studies show it's minimally effective.

Raspberry Ketones: Zero human studies supporting claims.

Green Coffee Bean: The active compound is just caffeine. You can drink coffee.

Proprietary Blends: If we won't tell you exact amounts, don't trust us.

Synthetic Vitamins: Your body knows the difference. We use whole food sources only.

What Makes Prema Different: The Synergy Secret

Here's what nobody else is doing: Our products are designed to work together.

  • Take Ayurvedic Complex for baseline adaptation
  • Add Probiotics for gut optimization
  • Include ACV for digestive enhancement
  • Use Beetroot for performance days
  • Add Joint Support as needed

Each product amplifies the others. It's not about taking more supplements—it's about taking the right ones that work synergistically.

Our Promise: Ingredients With Integrity

Every batch is:

  • Third-party tested for purity
  • Standardized for active compounds
  • Free from fillers and flow agents
  • Sourced from original growing regions
  • Packaged to maintain potency

We lose money on some batches that don't meet standards. We're okay with that. Your trust is worth more than profit margins.

The Future of Prema

We're not done. We're constantly researching, always looking for that perfect intersection of ancient wisdom and modern validation. But we'll never add products just to expand our catalog.

Every formula must answer this question: "Will this meaningfully improve someone's life?"

If the answer isn't an absolute yes, it doesn't carry the Prema name.

Your Invitation to Transformation

We didn't create Prema for everyone. We created it for people who understand that true health isn't found in quick fixes or synthetic solutions.

It's found in honoring the wisdom of our ancestors while embracing the validation of modern science.

These six products aren't just supplements. They're tools for transformation, backed by millennia of use and validated by modern research.

The question isn't whether they work—thousands of years of history and hundreds of studies have answered that.

The question is: Are you ready to experience what your body is truly capable of?
