The Smart Way to Stack Supplements – Science Over Hype

Written by Niels Luka, Founder of NÓNE

When it comes to supplements, more is not always better. The right combination can work in harmony to amplify results — but the wrong stack can be a waste of money or even counterproductive. Let’s cut through the hype and look at how to stack supplements with real science behind it.

1. Know Your Goal Before You Stack

Before mixing anything, be clear on what you want to achieve: focus, endurance, recovery, better sleep? Each goal demands a different approach — and sometimes, a single ingredient is enough.

2. Synergy Beats Quantity

Two supplements with complementary mechanisms often outperform higher doses of a single ingredient.
Example: Lion’s Mane + L-Theanine. Lion’s Mane supports long-term brain health and focus through Nerve Growth Factor stimulation, while L-Theanine promotes calm alertness. Together, they sharpen mental performance without jitters.

3. Avoid Overlap and Redundancy

If two supplements target the same pathway, you might just be doubling the dose without extra benefit.
Example: Taking two high-dose stimulants can lead to increased heart rate and crash rather than sustainable energy.

5. Quality First — Always

Even the smartest stack fails if the supplements are low quality. Look for standardized extracts, batch-tested purity, and transparent labeling. That’s why at NÓNE, we focus on clean, filler-free formulas tested at the lab before packaging.

Bottom line: Stacking supplements is about strategy, not just adding more. Start with your goal, choose complementary ingredients, and keep it simple. The right stack can be a game-changer — the wrong one is just noise.
