Caring for your body and caring for the earth go hand in hand. Sustainability isn't a checkbox for us — it shapes the choices we make at every stage, from the ingredients we source to the way your order arrives at your door.

Sourcing with Purpose: Good for You, Gentle on the Earth

Real sustainability starts upstream. We work exclusively with plant-based ingredients because they deliver serious nutrition with a fraction of the environmental cost. Take omega-3s: algae oil delivers the same benefits as fish oil, straight from the original source — fish only get their omega-3s by eating algae in the first place.

Algae Oil vs. Fish Oil — A Cleaner Path to Omega-3s

A comparison chart of algae oil and fish oil shows algae oil is grown from microalgae, has low marine impact, low carbon footprint, no ocean pollution, and is sustainable; fish oil is less sustainable and harms marine life.

Better for your body. Better for the ocean.

Packaging Built Around the Planet

Two supplement packets labeled Omega Complex and Essential lie on the forest floor among pine needles and leaves, illuminated by dappled sunlight.

Great products deserve packaging that doesn't undo their good. We've stepped away from default plastics wherever we can, choosing materials that match each product's needs without leaving a heavy footprint behind.

How We Package, Item by Item

We pick the right material for each product to cut waste and lower environmental impact:

  • Compostable pouches for most products. Made from renewable materials, our pouches are designed to break down in compost rather than lingering as microplastics. And even if one ends up in the trash, it won't shed microplastics the way a plastic supplement jar would.
  • Recyclable pouches for protein and creatine. Instead of bulky plastic tubs that overwhelm landfills, our protein and creatine ship in 100% recyclable pouches — lighter to ship and easier to recycle.
  • Glass bottles for Triple B12. Glass is endlessly recyclable and gives the spray the protection it needs, so we can skip plastic entirely.

Why compostable still wins, even in the trash.

A cardboard box labeled Empowered by Complement sits on a doormat at an open doorway, with a pair of blurred shoes visible in the background.

We know not every pouch ends up in a compost bin. Even when one ends up in the garbage, compostable packaging breaks down faster than conventional plastic and won't leave microplastics behind for generations to come.

Icons showing compostable waste should go into home and industrial compost, not the garbage can or blue bin, but can go in the green bin; checkmarks for compost and green bin, X marks for garbage and blue bin.
A guide showing five waste disposal options: home compost, store drop-off, garbage can, blue bin, and green bin. Only the blue bin and green bin have blue check marks indicating recyclability.

Shipping that's kind on the way to your door.

Sustainability shouldn't stop at the box. Your order ships in recyclable cardboard, padded where needed with biodegradable fillers — so the entire delivery can be composted or recycled when it's served its purpose.

Want to help us close the loop?

You're the final step. Here's how to give the packaging its best second life:

  • Recycle the protein pouches.
  • Compost product pouches at home.
  • Recycle the glass B12 bottles.

Small choices, repeated, are what add up to a healthier planet.
