How Stacks Work

Built from how your body actually responds.

Most supplement routines are a guess that fades. Ours is a system built on cited clinical research and a database of active ingredient compounds, so you get the right products aligned to the right goals, on the right schedule, adjusted as your body adapts. Here's exactly how it works.

First Principles

Why most routines quietly stop working.

It comes down to two problems. We built the entire system around fixing both.

  1. 01

    You're taking the wrong things

    Most routines are a guess — a generic multivitamin, whatever's trending, a greens powder that's the same for everyone. Nothing is matched to your actual goals, and nothing accounts for how the ingredients interact.

  2. 02

    And the right things stop working

    Take the same compound at the same dose every day and your body adapts — receptors downregulate, you feel less, you reach for more. It's called tolerance, and it's why even a good routine quietly fades after a few months.

Illustrative. The fix isn't a bigger dose — it's better timing.

Tolerance isn't permanent — it's adaptation. Step back at the right moment and your receptors resensitize. The fix was never a bigger dose; it's the right rhythm.

With cycling, every active day lands at full strength — instead of fading into the dotted line.

The Fix · Right Products

The right three, working together.

You pick a goal — or a few. Myco composes three products that reach all of them through different mechanisms, so nothing overlaps and everything compounds. No guesswork, no cabinet of half-used bottles.

Pick one or more goals

Select more than one and Myco combines them into a single stack.

Goal · Energy
Metabolism Boost

Metabolism Boost

Dopaminergic/noradrenergic modulation

Supports the brain chemicals behind motivation, drive, and focus.

Stamina Herbal Complex

Stamina Herbal Complex

HPG axis hormonal support

Adenosine receptor blockade

Blocks the signal that makes you feel tired.

Three products. Three mechanisms. Zero overlap — so each one adds something the others don't.
The Protocol

Three rhythms, one protocol.

Every compound in our catalog is classified into one of three rhythms based on its pharmacology. Your stack follows them automatically — you don't track anything.

Daily

Take every day
Every dayOngoing

These build up in your system and compound over weeks. Skipping days undermines the effect, and they don't cause tolerance — so daily is both safe and optimal.

5d on / 2d off
Weekly on/off~7 days

A weekly rest rhythm keeps receptors sensitive, so every active day lands at full strength instead of fading into tolerance.

After a longer active stretch we swap in an alternative that hits the same goal through a different pathway — your receptors reset while your results keep going.

Why different pathways? If the swap hit the same receptors, they'd never truly rest. Reaching the goal a different way gives you continuous coverage with genuine recovery.

How It Works For You

Your stack, on a loop.

The science runs in the background. From your side, it's a simple loop you stay in charge of.

  1. 01

    You pick a goal

    Myco composes three products that reach it through different mechanisms — or you choose all three yourself.

  2. 02

    You approve it

    The picks land in your dashboard first. Swap any of them, or keep what you already have. Nothing ships without your okay.

  3. 03

    It ships with a protocol

    Your stack arrives with the schedule attached — what to take, which days to take it, and which days to rest.

  4. 04

    Myco adapts

    As products rest, a swap covers the same goal by a different pathway — and we ship again when you're actually running low, not on a fixed date.

Repeats every stack — and you sign off on every change
Who decides
  • All Myco

    Set your goal and let it run. Myco composes each stack, schedules the cycling, and times the shipments.

  • Somewhere in between

    Lock the products you never want changed, flag the ones you'd rather not see again, and let Myco fill the rest.

  • All you

    Pick all three products yourself and keep them. The protocol still tells you when to take what.

Move the dial whenever you like — it's a setting, not a plan you're locked into.

A Week In The Life

Your stack, in action.

Here's a real week for a 3-product stack — one goal per product, each on its own rhythm. You never plan it — your protocol and daily reminders do.

When Ashwagandha reaches its rest window, a calm alternative steps in through a different pathway while its receptors reset — you never feel a gap.

Smart Shipping

We only ship what you're low on.

Rest days mean the same bottle covers more calendar. Most subscriptions ignore that and bury you in surplus. We track what you actually use and ship only when you're low.

No surplus, no waste. Subscribers save 25% on every product, with free shipping every month.

Why Trust It

Earned, not claimed.

No hype, no proprietary hand-waving. The protocol is built on published evidence and shown to you in plain language.

Every classification is cited

Each compound's tier comes from peer-reviewed evidence — receptor pharmacology, half-life, adaptation curves. If the evidence changes, the protocol updates.

Screened for your safety

Your optional health profile is checked against contraindications on every recommendation — and we quietly route around anything that isn't a fit.

Reasoning you can see

Every product carries a one-line rationale and a mechanism-of-action diagram, so you always know why it's in your stack and how it works.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How do you decide which compounds get cycled?
Tier assignments come from published research on receptor adaptation, half-life, and long-term efficacy. Each compound has a cited rationale you can read in the Journal.
Can I change my goals or add more later?
Anytime. Goals aren't locked — change, add, or remove them from your account. Your stack recomposes automatically, and you always see the new composition before anything ships.
What if I only want one or two products?
Stacks work best as combinations, but you can buy any product on its own. The cycling protocol still applies to a single-product subscription where relevant.
Do preset stacks follow the same rules?
Yes. Every preset has its products pre-classified into the three tiers, so the same dosing protocol, smart shipping, and swap logic applies automatically.
How do push notifications work?
Add the site to your home screen, then opt into daily reminders from your My Stack dashboard. Pick your time and you'll get a notification each day with exactly what to take or skip — no app store download, it's a progressive web app.
Is this backed by research?
Yes — every tier traces back to a cited study, not a guess. Read the sources behind any compound in the Journal.
