I Got Tired of Wasting Money on Supplements That Don't Work

I'm Matt. I live in Halifax, work as a financial analyst, and compete as a boxer and seasoned runner.

For years, I bought every recovery supplement that promised better sleep, faster recovery, or less soreness. I'd see the Instagram ads, read the labels, and think "This one's different."

It never was.

Most were underdosed garbage. Magnesium oxide that your body barely absorbs. Proprietary blends that hide how little of each ingredient you're actually getting. Ashwagandha at 100mg when research shows you need 300-600mg to see results.

I was spending $60-80/month on supplements that did nothing.

So I Started Reading the Research

I treat my work the same way I treat training — if the numbers don't add up, something's wrong.

So I started reading clinical studies. Not marketing copy. Not influencer endorsements. Actual peer-reviewed research on absorption rates, effective doses, and bioavailability.

Here's what I learned:

  • Magnesium oxide has a 4% absorption rate. Magnesium glycinate has 80-90%.
  • Most brands use oxide because it's cheap. Then they dose it at 200mg and call it "high potency."
  • 200mg of oxide = maybe 8mg absorbed. 400mg of glycinate = 320-360mg absorbed.

The form matters more than the dose. And most brands lie about both.

Built for People Who Actually Track Results

I didn't want to start another supplement brand. I just wanted products that actually worked.

So I built Reforge for people like me:

  • You train seriously (not casually)
  • You track your data (HRV, sleep scores, recovery metrics)
  • You're tired of paying for underdosed products
  • You want transparency, not marketing bullshit

Every formula is dosed at clinically effective levels. Every ingredient is in its most bioavailable form. No proprietary blends. No cutting corners.

Made in the USA. Designed by a Canadian Who Got Fed Up.

I'm not a scientist. I'm not a doctor. I'm just a competitive athlete who got tired of being sold garbage.

If that resonates with you — welcome to Reforge.

No fluff. No fillers. Just supplements that actually work.
