It would honestly be a lot easier to make capsules the “regular” way.

Add magnesium stearate so everything mixes perfectly and doesn't stick. Throw in silicon dioxide to improve texture. Use titanium dioxide for color. Add a few other flow agents to make capsule production faster at scale.

That’s what a lot of companies do.

But it would also mean adding ingredients that are there for the manufacturing process not for your health.

We made a different choice early on. We don't use fillers. We don't use flow agents. We don't add anything that's there just to make production easier.

Instead, when we need something in the formula, we use functional ingredients. For example spirulina because it adds nutritional value.

It means every single ingredient in our capsules has a purpose.

It's not the easiest way to make supplements.
But it feels like the only way to do it right.

If there's one vitamin deficiency most strongly linked to premature graying, it's B12.

Research is pretty clear on this. Multiple clinical studies have shown that people with premature gray hair consistently have lower B12 levels than people without it. One study even found that 55% of people with early graying had low B12.

Your body uses B12 for DNA synthesis and energy production as well as for the maintenance of the nervous system It also plays an imporant role in keeping hair follicles functioning properly.

When B12 is low, melanin production in those follicles gets disrupted. And that's when gray hair shows up faster than it should.

This is especially relevant if you're vegetarian or vegan. Since B12 is naturally high in meat, eggs, and dairy, people who don't eat those and don't supplement are at much higher risk of deficiency. And one of the early signs is premature hair graying.

Getting levels tested is simple. And if you're low, supplementing can sometimes slow down graying or even bring some color back to new growth.

I will be covering other reasons for premature graying in the next reels, so follow along

It's quite straight forward. Your hair turns gray when the pigment-producing cells in your hair follicles slow down or stop working. For most people that happens gradually with age. But some notice it much earlier.

But is it just because of "bad" genes? No.

Genetics plays a role, but nutrient deficiencies can play a role too.

That's because the cells responsible for hair color depend on specific nutrients to function properly. Without them, they can't keep up with pigment production. And that's when you start noticing gray hair.

The nutrients most connected to premature graying are B12, vitamin D, biotin, folate, and vitamin E. Simply because your hair follicles need these to keep melanin production running.

So, if you're noticing gray hair earlier than you expected, check that you're getting enough of these. Sometimes fixing a deficiency can slow it down or even partially reverse it.

I feel like a lot of people don't realize the connection between premature graying and nutrients, so I'm going to cover it in more detail in future reels.

I'm curious to know, did any of you manage to reverse graying by fixing a deficiency you had?

Even the best magnesium supplement won't help if your body can't absorb it.

Here are some things to keep in mind
✓ Take it with food (most forms absorb better with a light meal)
And remember that having some carbs and protein in a meal can enhance magnesium uptake, whereas a very fiber-rich meal close to taking magnesium can reduce its absorption.
✓ Space it out from calcium, zinc, and iron by at least 2 hours as they compete for absorption (this includes foods high in these)
✓ Avoid taking it with your coffee or tea
✓ Don't pair it with soda or phosphoric acid drinks
✓ Stay hydrated throughout the day (your body needs water to absorb minerals properly)
✓ If you're taking a multivitamin with minerals, separate it from your magnesium by a few hours
✓ Magnesium pairs well with vitamin D, vitamin B6, and vitamin C if you're taking those
✓ If the dose upsets your stomach, try taking it with more food or splitting it into smaller doses
✓ Give it time. Magnesium levels don't shift overnight, consistency over weeks is what matters

Were there some that you didn't know about?

Magnesium gets a lot of hype and for a good reason as it can support sleep, energy, heart health, brain function, digestion to name a few.

But if you're looking for specific benefits, you should know which form to take as they don't all do the same thing.

Magnesium Glycinate is the one for sleep and anxiety. It's gentle on the stomach and well-absorbed.
Magnesium L-Threonate can support brain health, memory, and cognitive function.
Magnesium Taurate supports heart health and blood pressure regulation.
Magnesium Malate is for energy and muscle tension, especially helpful for fibromyalgia.
Magnesium Citrate supports digestion and helps with constipation.
Magnesium Oxide is cheaper and commonly used for heartburn and constipation, but it has low absorption.
Magnesium Orotate supports cellular energy and cardiovascular function.

So if you've been taking magnesium and thinking it doesn't work, you might just be taking the wrong type for what you need.

Check your bottle. What type are you taking, and does it match what you need?

If you've been taking magnesium but still don't feel like it has improved your sleep.
And you're starting to think that maybe magnesium just doesn't work for you.

Well, reason for it not working could be the type you're taking.

Most people grab magnesium from the pharmacy not reading the fine print. And so they can end up with magnesium oxide because it's cheap, and so it can be in a lot of the magnesium supplements. Even the ones marketed for better sleep.

The problem is that magnesium oxide barely absorbs, so it might not help you sleep.

Chelated forms like Magnesium Glycinate absorb way better and are more likely to support your nervous system at night. And that can be the difference between lying awake at 3 AM and having a restful night.

When you finally take the right type, benefits are usually noticeable. Falling asleep easier. Staying asleep through the night. Waking up rested instead of exhausted.

If you've been struggling with sleep and nothing's worked, it might not be that magnesium doesn't work for you. It might just be that you haven't tried the right form yet.

Our Magnesium Glycinate is chelated for better absorption and designed specifically to support sleep, and all the positive reviews attest to that. Link in bio if you want to switch to a high-quality magnesium supplement for sleep.

Supplement timing sounds complicated but it's really not once you know the basic rules.

A handful of supplements absorb better on an empty stomach.
B vitamins, including B-complex and B12, do better without food. Same with probiotics, collagen, vitamin C, and iron. Other minerals also absorb better on an empty stomach but tend to cause irritation, so it's usually not worth it for those.

Everything else?
Take with food. That covers fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, magnesium, zinc, fish oil, and most others. Food helps them absorb and reduces the chance of stomach irritation.

One thing worth remembering on top of that is that high dose vitamin C and B12 don't love being taken together. Vitamin C in large amounts can interfere with B12 absorption, so spacing them out by at least an hour helps your body use both properly.
That's genuinely a good starting point and not complicated at all ;)

Which supplement timing are you most curious about? Drop it in the comments and I'll cover it next.

Ten years ago we started asking a simple question: why not make supplements that are truly honest about what's in them?

No fillers in capsules. No vague blends. No claims we couldn't back up. Just clean, purposeful formulations for people who read labels as carefully as I do.

I didn't expect it to still feel this meaningful a decade later. But every message from someone telling us their routine has genuinely changed, every review from a customer who trusted us with their health, every person who became part of this community... that's what ten years actually feels like.

So this weekend, as we mark ten years, I just want to say thank you.

And as a small token of that gratitude, we're running a promotion through Monday, which also happens to be Memorial Day.

20% off orders $80+ with code WNN20 at checkout. Link in bio to shop.

Thank you for being part of this. It means more than I can say!

And I'm curious to know... when did you find us and do you remember how many products we had back then?

I have a surprise for you tomorrow ❤️

NAD+ is a molecule your body produces naturally and it plays a direct role in how your cells generate energy and how well they age.

It helps convert food into usable energy at the cellular level, supports DNA repair, and activates proteins linked to longevity. Basically it's one of the key things keeping your cells functioning properly.

The issue is NAD+ levels drop significantly with age. By your 40s you have considerably less than you did in your 20s, which is part of why energy levels, recovery, and overall vitality tend to shift as you get older.

Supplementing NAD+ precursors, the compounds your body uses to produce NAD+, has been shown to raise NAD+ levels meaningfully. And the research around what that means for energy, brain health, and healthy aging is looking very promising.
