Optimising Your Supplement Stack

How to Use ONE Athlete Stack Packs Together & With Other Targeted Support Products

For athletes and performance-minded individuals, nutritional support goes beyond a basic multivitamin. The ONE Athlete Stack Pack system is designed to deliver goal-specific supplementation — whether for performance, fat loss, recovery, or long-term health. When used with intention, these stack packs, alongside targeted products like Zenergy, Vitality, Shilajit, Lion’s Mane, and Alaskan Salmon Fish Oil, can help streamline your supplementation strategy.

This guide provides practical strategies for integrating stack packs and support products, with guidance on safe stacking, cycling, and best use depending on training demands. It's ideal for strength athletes, combat sports competitors, functional fitness enthusiasts, and anyone training with intensity and consistency.

Understanding the Core Stack Packs

1. FUEL – Performance Booster Stack Pack

Purpose: Strength, power output, cognitive drive, and hormonal support.
Key Ingredients:

• Creatine Monohydrate, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid
  
• Adaptogens: Ashwagandha, Panax Ginseng
  
• Neuro-support: Ginkgo Biloba, Mucuna Pruriens
  
• Hormone support: Fenugreek (600 mg), Tribulus, Maca, Eurycoma longifolia
  
• Caffeine Anhydrous (50 mg)
  

Use: Take 30–45 minutes before training.

Additional Insight:
FUEL’s Hormone Optimisation Complex features a clinically effective 600 mg dose of Fenugreek seed extract — studied for its testosterone-supportive, body composition, and metabolic benefits. Combined with other herbs like Maca and Eurycoma longifolia, it offers endocrine resilience for high-load training. Low-dose caffeine makes it suitable even for stimulant-sensitive individuals.

Caution: Can be combined with other low-caffeine products, but monitor total intake if stacking with PYRO or Zenergy.

2. PYRO – Precision Shred Stack Pack

Purpose: Fat loss, energy, thermogenesis, and metabolic control.
Key Ingredients:

• Thermogenic agents: Green Tea Extract, Cayenne Pepper, Guarana
  
• Metabolic regulators: Berberine, Bitter Melon, Banaba Leaf
  
• Appetite and glucose support: Garcinia Cambogia, Chromium
  
• Adaptogens: Ashwagandha, Schisandra
  
• Caffeine (200 mg)
  

Use: Morning or before cardio. Avoid late-day use.

Additional Insight:
While berberine is often included in thermogenic formulas, its strength lies in metabolic regulation—activating AMPK and improving insulin sensitivity. Ideal for weight cuts, carb-restricted diets, or lean mass maintenance phases.

Caution: Avoid combining with other stimulant-heavy products unless well spaced (8+ hours) and tolerated. Monitor caffeine load.

3. LUNA – Anabolic Sleep Stack Pack

Purpose: Deep sleep, GH support, and night-time recovery.
Key Ingredients:

• Sleep aids: L-Theanine, GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin
  
• GH support: Arginine, Ornithine, Glutamine
  
• Adaptogens: Ashwagandha, Mucuna
  
• Antioxidants: Vitamin C, Bioflavonoids
  

Use: 30–60 minutes before bed.
Caution: Do not combine with sedatives or take close to high-fat meals.

4. VITA – Daily Optimisation Stack Pack

Purpose: Full-spectrum micronutrient and hormonal support.
Key Ingredients:

• High-dose A, C, D, E and B vitamins
  
• Hormonal herbs: Eurycoma longifolia, Smilax, Saw Palmetto
  
• Antioxidants, digestive enzymes, amino acids
  

Use: With breakfast or lunch.

Caution:
Monitor cumulative fat-soluble vitamin intake (A, D, E) when using alongside Vitality, Zenergy, Elevate D3, or fish oil. These nutrients are stored in the body, not excreted in urine like B-complex. Excess over time can cause liver stress, bone density issues, or nutrient imbalance.

Important Considerations: Safety, Interactions & Cycling

While the supplement stacks outlined above are designed with athletic performance and health in mind, it's essential to be aware of potential interactions, contraindications, and the importance of cycling certain ingredients.

1. Interactions & Contraindications:
Some ingredients—particularly adaptogens, stimulants, and hormonal support compounds—can interact with medications or underlying health conditions. For example:

• Eurycoma longifolia and Fenugreek, found in the FUEL stack, may affect hormone levels and are not recommended for individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g., prostate issues, PCOS).

• Stimulants such as caffeine and guarana—present in both FUEL and PYRO—can elevate heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety. Individuals with cardiovascular concerns, anxiety disorders, or stimulant sensitivities should use with caution and may benefit from starting at half-dose or avoiding stimulant-based stacks entirely..

• Herbal extracts such as Ginkgo Biloba may interact with blood thinners or affect clotting.

Always consult a healthcare provider before starting new supplements if you take prescription medications, have a diagnosed medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Natural does not always mean risk-free.

2. Cycling Supplements for Optimal Results:
Many supplements deliver better outcomes—and fewer side effects—when cycled. Continuous use of adaptogens, stimulants, or hormonal support agents may lead to tolerance, receptor desensitization, or diminished effectiveness over time.

• Adaptogens like Ashwagandha or Panax Ginseng should ideally be used in 6–8 week blocks, followed by 2–4 weeks off.

• Stimulant-based fat burners (PYRO stack) may lead to tolerance over time; it's wise to cycle usage (e.g., 4 weeks on, 1–2 weeks off).

• Hormonal support supplements benefit from periodic breaks to allow your body’s natural regulatory systems to recalibrate.

3. Individual Response & Monitoring:
Supplement effects can vary widely between individuals due to differences in metabolism, sensitivity, training volume, and stress levels. It’s advisable to introduce new stacks gradually, observe your response over 1–2 weeks, and adjust dosage or timing accordingly.

Performance vs. Health-Based Supplementation

Supplement Type	Examples	Usage Duration	Notes
Performance	FUEL, PYRO, Shilajit	Short-term	Goal-specific; cycle to prevent tolerance and maximise benefit.
Health	VITA, Fish Oil, Lion’s Mane	Long-term	Foundational; still monitor fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E).

Understanding this distinction helps avoid nutrient overlap and guides smarter stack design.

Long-Term Nutrient Safety: What to Monitor When Stacking

When combining advanced stack packs like VITA, Zenergy, Vitality, or Elevate D3, it's essential to consider fat-soluble vitamin load — especially vitamins A, D, and E.

Unlike B-complex vitamins, which are water-soluble and excreted, A, D, and E accumulate in the body. Excessive intake over time may lead to:

• Liver strain
  
• Impaired bone metabolism
  
• Nutrient competition and imbalances
  

Recommendations:

• Use one packet of VITA daily (instead of two) if stacking with Zenergy, Vitality, or Elevate D3.
  
• Cycle off high-dose micronutrient stacks for 1–2 weeks every 6–8 weeks.
  
• Consider annual blood testing for vitamin D, A, and iron to monitor individual needs and avoid silent overload.
  

This approach ensures you're supporting long-term health while still benefiting from performance-focused supplementation.

• LUNA: Recovery, sleep stabilisation
  
• VITA (1 packet/day): Support without overload
  

Timing and Cycling for Best Results

Understanding how long to run a stack (and when to step back) ensures continued benefit and avoids overstimulation or nutrient saturation.

Stack	Use Duration	Cycle Off / Adjustment
FUEL	4–8 weeks	1–2 weeks off or use 2–3x/week
PYRO	Max 6 weeks	2–4 week break
VITA	4–6 weeks (2 packets/day)	Reduce to 1 packet or take 2–4 weeks off
LUNA	Continuous	Optional 1 week/month break

When You Might Not Need the Full Stack

If you're in a deload, offseason, recovering from injury, or training lightly, simplified support may be sufficient:

• One packet of VITA
  
• LUNA for sleep restoration
  
• Fish Oil for systemic recovery
  

Base your intake on current needs, not routine alone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I take multiple Stack Packs on the same day?

Yes — many users combine different Stack Packs depending on training demands. A common example is:

• Morning: PYRO (for fat loss and energy)
  
• Pre-workout: FUEL (for strength and performance)
  
• Evening: LUNA (for recovery and sleep)
  

However, monitor total caffeine and stimulant intake. Avoid combining PYRO and FUEL too close together unless you’re stimulant-tolerant.

2. How long should I cycle each supplement stack?

Stack cycling helps prevent tolerance and overstimulation:

• FUEL: Use for 4–8 weeks, then take 1–2 weeks off
  
• PYRO: Max 6 weeks, followed by a 2-week break
  
• VITA: 4–6 weeks at full dose, then scale down or take a short break
  
• LUNA: Safe for ongoing use, but optional 1-week breaks can help long-term effectiveness
  

3. What if I feel overstimulated or uncomfortable after taking a product?

This may indicate:

• Too high a dose or stimulant sensitivity
  
• Timing issues (e.g. taking PYRO too late in the day)
  
• Poor compatibility with other products or meals
  

Try:

• Halving your dose
  
• Taking it earlier in the day
  
• Pausing and reintroducing gradually
  

Always listen to your body.

4. What’s the best stack for fat loss?

For a fat-loss goal:

• AM: PYRO + 1 VITA
  
• Mid-morning: Zenergy (optional energy/mood boost)
  
• PM: LUNA + Fish Oil
  Avoid high-fat meals around stimulant-based stacks and ensure you’re eating in a calorie deficit for best results.
  

5. Can I combine FUEL and PYRO together?

You can, but only if your total daily caffeine intake is within your tolerance range.

• FUEL: ~50 mg caffeine
  
• PYRO: ~200 mg caffeine
  

Tip: Separate them by 6–8 hours if needed, and start slow.

6. Is it safe to take VITA daily with other vitamin-rich products?

Yes, but be mindful of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E. These accumulate over time and are not flushed out like B-vitamins.
If you also use Vitality, Zenergy, Elevate D3, or Fish Oil, consider cycling or reducing your dose of VITA periodically.

7. When should I avoid using stacks?

Avoid or reduce stack usage during:

• Deload weeks
  
• Injury recovery
  
• Low-volume training periods
  

Stick to foundational support like 1 VITA, Fish Oil, or LUNA when intensity is low.

8. Do I need to take all four Stack Packs to see results?

Not at all. Your stack should match your goal and training intensity.
For example:

• A recovery phase may only require VITA + Fish Oil + LUNA
  
• A strength-building block might benefit from FUEL + Lion’s Mane + LUNA
  

9. Can I take LUNA with other sleep aids or medications?

LUNA contains natural sedatives (e.g. GABA, 5-HTP, melatonin). Avoid combining it with other prescription sleep aids or sedatives unless approved by your healthcare provider.

10. Is this guide a substitute for medical advice?

No. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement protocol — especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or managing a medical condition.

11. Are the high doses of B vitamins in VITA safe — especially Vitamin B6?

VITA includes a full-spectrum B-complex, including Vitamin B6, to support energy metabolism, mood, and hormonal balance. While B vitamins are generally water-soluble and excreted in urine, Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can be problematic at high doses over long periods.

• Upper tolerable intake level for B6 is around 100 mg/day for most adults.
  
• Consistently exceeding this — especially above 200 mg/day — may lead to neuropathy (nerve-related issues) in rare cases.
  

What to do:

• Check the label for the B6 content in VITA and any other supplements you’re taking.
  
• If you're using VITA long-term or at 2 packets/day, consider cycling it or alternating with a lower-dose multivitamin.
  

When in doubt, consult a health professional — especially if you're experiencing tingling, numbness, or unusual nerve sensations.

12. If FUEL contains creatine and PYRO has diuretics, is it safe to take them together?

Yes, FUEL and PYRO can be used together, but there are a few important things to consider:

Creatine (FUEL):

• Works by drawing water into muscle cells, aiding strength and power.
  
• Requires adequate hydration to function effectively.
  

Diuretic Components (PYRO):

• Ingredients like caffeine, green tea extract, cayenne, and guarana may increase fluid loss through thermogenesis and mild diuretic effects.
  
• This can increase dehydration risk, especially during intense training or hot environments.
  

Safety Guidelines for Combining Creatine + Diuretics:

• Stay well-hydrated — aim for 3–4 litres of water per day when using both products.
  
• Avoid stacking PYRO and FUEL too close together unless you're monitoring your fluid and electrolyte balance carefully.
  
• Consider spacing them out (e.g. PYRO in the morning, FUEL pre-workout).
  

Bottom line: It’s generally safe, but hydration is key. If you notice cramping, headaches, or fatigue, reassess fluid intake and consider reducing your dose of one or both products.
