Know Your Goal.
Find Your Protocol.
Every KUR formula was built for a specific purpose. This is the guide to finding the right one — or the right combination — for where you actually are.
Start With the Problem. The Protocol Follows.
Most people approach supplements backwards — they browse products and try to figure out if they apply to them. This guide works the other way. Start with what you're actually dealing with — poor sleep, chronic stress, metabolic resistance, slow recovery — and follow the protocol mapped to that problem. The right formula is the one built for your specific gap, dosed at the level the research validates, in the form your body can actually absorb. Everything else is guesswork.
Match Your Goal to the Right Formula
I can't fall asleep — or stay asleep.
Lying awake with a mind that won't stop. Waking in the night and struggling to return to sleep. Hours spent horizontal that don't feel restorative. This is almost always a neurochemical and cortisol problem — not a willpower problem. The sleep cascade requires cortisol to drop, melatonin to rise, GABA to quiet neural activity, and the serotonin pathway to be adequately supplied. When any stage of that cascade is depleted, sleep underperforms regardless of how much time you spend in bed.
The entry point is the Sleep Protocol. The complete solution is the Recovery Stack.
Stress feels like my default state.
Harder to wind down than it used to be. Tired but wired at night. A shorter fuse, a foggier mind, a body that never fully recovers no matter how much rest you get. Chronic stress keeps the body's stress response system in sustained activation — depleting key minerals, impairing sleep quality, and compounding in ways that are slow to recognize and slow to reverse without direct intervention.
The entry point is the Resilience Protocol. The complete solution is the Recovery Stack.
My metabolism feels like it's working against me.
Diet optimized. Training consistent. Blood sugar that spikes and crashes, energy that doesn't match the effort, body composition progress slower than the work should produce. The hidden variable is almost always insulin resistance and mineral deficiency — the two most common and least-diagnosed metabolic blockers. Addressing the biochemical environment rather than just the caloric one is what unlocks the progress the effort should already be producing.
The entry point is the Metabolic Protocol. The complete solution is the Metabolic Stack.
I train hard but recovery never feels complete.
Persistent muscle tension. Slower recovery between sessions than the effort warrants. Waking up still tired despite adequate sleep. Performance that plateaus despite consistency. Physical exertion depletes key minerals through sweat — and without adequate replenishment, muscle relaxation is impaired, cellular energy production is limited, and the nervous system never fully decompresses overnight.
The entry point is the Recovery Protocol. The complete solution is the Recovery Stack.
When to Take Each Formula
With Your First Meal
- Resilience Protocol — Morning dosing aligns with the body's natural cortisol peak. Taking adaptogenic support early supports daytime stress resilience and allows cortisol to normalize by evening — setting up better sleep conditions 12 hours later.
- Metabolic Protocol — Take with your morning meal for post-meal glucose support. If splitting the dose, take the second capsule with your largest meal of the day to maximize effect on post-meal blood glucose response.
With Your Evening Meal
- Recovery Protocol — Take with your evening meal or 30–60 minutes before bed. Evening timing maximizes the mineral's nervous system calming and muscle relaxation effect during sleep onset and overnight recovery.
- Metabolic Protocol (split dose) — Second capsule with evening meal if splitting. Consistent meal-time dosing maximizes the metabolic pathway effect across the full day.
20–30 Minutes Before Bed
- Sleep Protocol — 2 capsules 20–30 minutes before your target sleep time. Consistent timing each night reinforces the circadian rhythm signal. Take after Recovery Protocol for optimal cascade sequencing — the mineral foundation first, then the neurochemical layer.
- Recovery Protocol (alternative) — If not taking with dinner, take alongside Sleep Protocol here for the complete mineral and neurochemical bedtime protocol in one window.
