Science
In a world where every week brings a new "superfood" claiming to revolutionize your health, we at Libré made a deliberate choice: we're staying out of the hype cycle. You won't find açaí, spirulina, or the latest trendy ingredient splashed across our labels. Here's why.
The Problem with Superfood Marketing
Walk down any supplement aisle, and you'll be bombarded with products featuring exotic ingredients with big promises. Goji berries for longevity. Matcha for metabolism. Turmeric for inflammation. While some of these foods have nutritional value, the "superfood" label is often more marketing than science.
The truth? There's no legal or scientific definition of a superfood. It's a term created by marketers, not nutritionists. And when supplements jump on these trends, they're often adding minimal amounts of these ingredients, just enough to put them on the label, but not enough to make a meaningful difference.
At Libré, we believe you deserve better than that.
Real Food, Real Foundation
We take a straightforward approach: aim to meet most of your nutrient needs through the food you eat, and use a quality supplement to help fill the gaps that matter.
This food-first philosophy aligns with established nutritional guidelines that promote consuming a healthy eating pattern rich in nutrient-dense whole foods. Your nutritional foundation should start with what's on your plate, a varied, well-balanced diet that includes:
Colorful fruits and vegetables across the spectrum: the more variety, the better
Adequate protein from quality sources that work for your lifestyle
Whole foods over processed options whenever possible
Less focus on "white" processed foods that offer minimal nutritional value
Variety is one of the most important aspects of a healthy diet. These whole foods provide not just vitamins and minerals, but also dietary fiber and naturally occurring compounds that work together to support your health in ways that isolated "superfood" powders simply can't replicate.
Why We Focus on Nutrient Gaps, Not Trends
Instead of chasing the latest wellness trend, our formulations are built on something more reliable: comprehensive nutritional data and peer-reviewed research. We look at what people are actually eating versus what they actually need, identifying the real gaps that exist in modern diets.
Take vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), for example. This isn't a trendy ingredient, it's an essential nutrient that the majority of people struggle to get enough of. Factors like climate, pollution, and sunscreen use (which is important for skin health) make it difficult to synthesize adequate vitamin D from sunlight alone. Diet isn't always a reliable source either. Since vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health and immune function, addressing this gap becomes genuinely important.*
Or consider our algae-derived EPA and DHA omega-3s, fatty acids essential for brain, heart, and eye health. While plant-based sources like walnuts and flaxseed provide omega-3s, they primarily offer ALA, which converts to DHA at a much lower rate. This is a scientifically documented gap that matters, not a marketing opportunity.*
Magnesium is another perfect example. Many people fall short on magnesium intake, which supports hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body. That's why we include magnesium bisglycinate, a highly bioavailable form that's gentle on the stomach. Not because it's exotic, but because the research shows most people need it and this form works well.*
The Ingredients That Made the Cut
Every ingredient in Libré has earned its place through rigorous scientific vetting. You'll find:
Essential vitamins in bioavailable forms: Like methylcobalamin (B12), L-methylfolate (B9), and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (B6) forms your body can actually use efficiently
Key minerals: Zinc bisglycinate, selenomethionine, and manganese gluconate to support immune function, antioxidant defenses, and metabolic health*
Targeted compounds: CoQ10 for cellular energy production, NMN for cellular health, and CDP-choline for cognitive support*
Smart antioxidants: Vitamin E, curcumin (Longvida®), and vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) with established research backing their benefits*
Proven probiotics: Specific strains like Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Bifidobacterium longum, and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (GR-1®) chosen for their documented effects on gut and overall health*
Performance support: Creatine monohydrate, one of the most researched supplements for muscle function and cognitive performance*
Notice what's missing? Proprietary blends with undisclosed amounts. Trendy extracts with minimal research. Ingredients included just to make the label look impressive.
Every single component is there at a meaningful dosage, in a form chosen for effectiveness, backed by research.
Science Over Noise
The wellness industry has made healthy eating unnecessarily complicated. Real science is often eclipsed by trends, myths, and conflicting information. We believe in cutting through that noise. Every ingredient in Libré supplements is there for a reason backed by scientific evidence, not because it's having a moment on social media. We parse through research continuously, relying on comprehensive nutritional databases and clinical data to inform our formulations. If an ingredient can't demonstrate real benefit at the dosage we're using, it doesn't make the cut. Period.
Your Supplement Should Simplify, Not Complicate
Here's what we believe: the right supplement should take the guesswork out of meeting your nutritional needs. It should be formulated with your life in mind, your diet, your age, your unique circumstances.
You shouldn't need to become a nutrition expert to figure out if you're getting what you need. You shouldn't have to decode which "superfoods" are worth your money. And you definitely shouldn't fall for marketing hype when real nutritional needs aren't being addressed.
At Libré, we're committed to transparency, science, and helping you understand what you're putting into your body and why. Because at the end of the day, true health doesn't come from exotic powders or trending ingredients—it comes from consistent, smart choices about nutrition, starting with real food on your plate.
Your focus should be simple: eat your vegetables, get your fruits, meet your protein needs, and let a clinical-backed supplement fill the legitimate gaps.
That's not trendy. But it works.
