About StaminaStack

A small publication with one job: making supplement stacks make sense — what to combine, how much, and what to leave out.

Why this site exists

Supplements are sold one bottle at a time, but people take them in combinations — and almost nobody publishing "stacks" checks whether the combination makes sense: whether the doses match the studies, whether two ingredients fight each other, or whether the third bottle adds anything at all. StaminaStack exists to do that checking in public, with sources.

Why stacks, not single-ingredient hype

The standard supplement article takes one ingredient, finds its best study, and sells the ceiling of what that study found. Real routines do not work that way. Ingredients overlap (two products quietly doubling the same stimulant), compete (minerals sharing an absorption pathway), and pad each other out (a ten-ingredient blend where nine are decoration). Writing about stacks forces the harder questions onto the page: what is each ingredient's job, is the dose the one the trial used, what does the combination do that the parts do not, and — just as often — what can be dropped without losing anything? When the honest answer is "one bottle, not four", the guide says so; our shortest stack has three items and our beginner guide will talk you out of most of the shelf.

How a guide gets made

  • Research starts from primary sources — NIH ODS fact sheets, FDA labels, PubMed — never from competitor articles.
  • Every figure is cross-checked against a second source, and claims are written separately for US and UK rules.
  • Money pages are verified line by line by our named medical reviewer before they carry the review stamp.
  • Products only make a table if they publish doses and carry third-party testing where a certified option exists.

The full rules are on the editorial policy page.

Who runs the site

StaminaStack is published by DOTS Growth and written by the StaminaStack Editorial Team. The publisher's name is on the site, the reviewer's name is on the medical pages, and the money model is on the affiliate disclosure page: commissions and display advertising pay for the research and the medical review, and every site we run has to cover its own costs from its own revenue.
