For the ones who outgrew the supplement aisle
Sore knees, shallow sleep, and a 4PM wall aren’t three problems. They’re one.
The Foundation Stack covers what your body actually needs to build, fuel, and repair itself. Three products, a full thirty days, about sixty seconds a day. $87.99 instead of $109.97, and it ships free.
Thirty days of all three. Ships free.
- Grass-fed & pasture-raised sourcing
- Made in GMP-compliant US facilities
- Zero synthetic fillers
- Small, family-owned, American
What it costs one at a time

If you’re somewhere between 30 and 50, still training, still working, and still expected to have something left when you walk in the door at six, you’ve noticed the math getting harder. The knee takes longer to settle down. The sleep is shallower than it used to be. The coffee that carried you to 2PM now needs a friend.
None of that is a mystery. Your body runs a repair cycle. It needs raw material to rebuild with, energy to do the work, and a recovery window where the rebuilding actually happens. Miss any one of the three and the other two can’t finish the job.
The Foundation Stack is those three inputs. Grass-fed collagen in the morning. Creatine before you train. Magnesium with dinner. Full doses, nothing padding out the scoop, about sixty seconds a day, attached to habits you already have. Nothing new to remember.
Give it 60 to 90 days. All three build up in your system before they do much of anything, which is exactly why they work.
The cabinet
Your supplement cabinet is a graveyard.
Open it. There’s a jar of something from a podcast ad, half-used since March. A greens powder you bought with real intentions. Two bottles you can’t remember buying and can’t remember why.
None of it is doing anything, because none of it was ever a routine. It was a series of good intentions bought one at a time, each solving a problem you heard about that week, none of them talking to each other.
We built this stack the other way around. One category, the one that gets the most noise and the least honesty, filtered down to three inputs with decades of research behind them, at doses that actually do something, mapped to the parts of the day where they work.
Three products, not thirty. Thirty days of each. That’s the whole idea.
Why the stack, and not one of them
Three products, one cycle.
Your body is always doing one of three things with the load you put on it: breaking down, rebuilding, or resting so the rebuild can finish. Most guys supplement exactly one of those and wonder why the other two never move.
Raw material
About a third of the protein in your body is collagen, and it’s the structural stuff: tendon, ligament, cartilage, skin. Your body slowed production of it somewhere after your mid-20s. If you’re still loading joints (running, lifting, 18 holes, hauling mulch on a Saturday), you’re spending a material your body quietly stopped making enough of.
The supply sideEnergy
Rebuilding costs energy. So does everything else: the last set, the 4PM decision, the hour after dinner when the kids still want something. Creatine feeds the ATP system your muscles and your brain both run on.
The demand sideRecovery
Neither of the above happens while you’re awake. Repair runs at night, and it runs badly when you’re short on the mineral involved in over 300 processes in your body, including the ones that let your nervous system stand down and your muscles let go.
The windowWhy one of the three doesn’t get you a third of the result
You’ve bought more capacity to break yourself down, with no extra raw material to rebuild with.
You’re delivering brick to a job site with no crew and no shift.
You sleep well in a body you aren’t giving anything to build with.
Run all three and the cycle closes. Supply, demand, recovery: one loop, covered end to end.
Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides
Morning / $29.99 a tub · two tubs in the stack
You don’t notice the day your collagen production slows. You notice it later — the knee that complains after a run, the shoulder still annoyed about Saturday’s golf, skin and hair that don’t bounce back the way they did.
- Joints. Cartilage and the stiffness that comes with staying active.
- Recovery. The amino acids your muscles use to repair.
- Skin. Supports your own collagen production.
- Gut. Supports a healthy gut lining.
- Hair and nails. Reinforced from the inside.
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides from 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. Unflavored. No maltodextrin, no synthetic anything.
One scoop in your morning coffee, smoothie, or water. No taste, no grit. Stir it in and get on with your day.
A tub runs 14 days. The creatine and the magnesium both go 30. A stack that quits on day 15 isn’t a month of anything, so we doubled the collagen and priced the second tub about as close to our cost as we can stand: $19 instead of $29.99.
Creatine Hydration Powder
Training / $34.00 on its own
Creatine is the most studied performance supplement there is, and it isn’t only a gym thing. Your brain runs on the same fuel your muscles do. When it runs low, it’s not just your last set that suffers. It’s your focus, and the mental gas left in the tank at 4PM.
- Strength and power. Creatine fuels the ATP your muscles burn on heavy lifts and sprints.
- Mental energy. Supports the energy supply of one of the hungriest organs you own.
- Hydration. Replaces what you sweat out and helps keep cramps from cutting a session short.
- Endurance. Stamina across the full effort, in the gym or in the yard.
- Recovery. Restocks what you used so you come back ready.
Creatine (as Creatine Monohydrate) 5,000mg
Magnesium (as Magnesium Malate) 60mg
Sodium (as Sea Salt) 1,000mg
Potassium (as Potassium Chloride) 200mg
Natural Flavors · Stevia Leaf Extract · Silicon Dioxide
Lemon · 30 servings · Gluten-free, lactose-free, allergen-free
That’s the whole list. No proprietary blend, and no gummy that needs five candies to reach a token dose. You get a clinical 5,000mg of monohydrate, the gold-standard form, plus real electrolytes: magnesium malate instead of the oxide most brands use, sea salt instead of synthetic sodium, stevia instead of sucralose.
One scoop (10g) in 6–8 oz of cold water, before, during, or after training. Daily. Creatine saturates tissue over time, so consistency beats timing.
Magnesium Glycinate
Night / $15.99 on its own
Studies suggest up to 75% of Americans don’t get enough magnesium from food alone. You feel the shortfall as things you’d never trace back to a mineral: restless sleep, muscle cramps, a shorter fuse, running on empty by evening.
- Sleep. Supports melatonin and GABA, the calm-down side of your chemistry.
- Muscle relaxation. Cramps, tension, and soreness after you push it.
- Stress. Supports the rest-and-digest side of your nervous system.
- Nerve function. Normal signaling, head to toe.
- Bone strength. Works alongside calcium and vitamin D.
- Heart. Supports a steady rhythm.
Magnesium oxide, the form in most bargain bottles, barely absorbs. Most of it passes straight through you. Glycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine for far better absorption. Glycine is calming on its own, which is why this is the form you want at night and why it won’t send you running to the bathroom.
One serving with dinner. Magnesium builds gradually, so take it consistently.
The routine
Sixty seconds a day, and nothing new to remember.
Routines don’t fail because the ingredients are wrong. They fail because they ask you to build a new habit at 6:15 in the morning. This one attaches to habits you already have.
A scoop of collagen goes in the coffee you were already making. It’s unflavored. You will forget it’s in there.
The creatine shaker lives in the gym bag. One scoop, cold water, before or after. If today’s training is mowing the lawn, that counts.
Magnesium sits next to the salt. One serving with food, and tomorrow starts less rough.
That’s it. You don’t need a pill organizer or a 5AM protocol. Give it 60 to 90 days of not skipping. All three build up in your system before they do much of anything. That’s the mechanism, and it’s the whole reason they work.
The Cohld standard
What’s not in the box.
Left out on purpose
- No maltodextrin. The cheap corn-derived filler that bulks out a scoop so the label looks generous.
- No artificial sweeteners. Stevia leaf, not sucralose.
- No dyes. Your creatine does not need to be blue.
- No synthetic binders or fillers. Every ingredient is in there for a reason, not for volume.
- No proprietary blends. You can read the exact milligrams of everything above.
What is in it
- Grass-fed and pasture-raised sourcing on every animal-derived ingredient.
- GMP-compliant US manufacturing. Made in the USA, not relabeled from overseas.
- A small, family-owned company. Not a portfolio brand with a marketing department.
- A 30-day money-back guarantee. The risk sits with us, not with you.
Fair questions
The things you’re already thinking.
“I already eat pretty clean. Do I need this?”
Food first is the right instinct, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. But these three are the ones that are hardest to eat your way to. Collagen comes from the parts of the animal almost nobody cooks anymore: skin, tendon, bone. Creatine at 5g a day means about a pound of red meat, every day. And magnesium has dropped in produce as soils have been farmed harder. Eat well anyway. This covers the gaps that eating well leaves open.
“I already use a bigger brand. Why switch?”
Look at what you’re actually getting per serving. A lot of the well-known names hand you a gimmick, like creatine gummies where you’d need a handful to reach a real dose. Others bury a decent active under maltodextrin and dyes. A few are formulated fine and priced like a lab consult. We list every milligram above. Compare it to what’s on your shelf right now. If yours wins, keep using it.
“I can grab this stuff at Target.”
You can grab something with the same word on the label. The form is the whole game: magnesium oxide barely absorbs where glycinate does, grain-fed collagen has a different amino acid profile than grass-fed, and a 5g creatine claim means nothing if half the scoop is filler. Read the back of the box next time you’re there. That’s genuinely all we’re asking.
“Cohld is new. Why should I trust you?”
Fair. We’re small and family-owned and we don’t have a decade of reviews behind us. What we can do is show our work: full doses printed above, every ingredient named, GMP-compliant US manufacturing, and a 30-day money-back guarantee that puts the risk on us instead of you. Try it. If it isn’t better than what’s in your cabinet, we’ll make it right.
“Isn’t this a lot of powder to be taking?”
A scoop in coffee, a scoop in water, one serving with dinner. Sixty seconds. If that’s the heaviest lift in your day, you’re having a good day.
The math
$87.99 for a full month.
Bought one at a time
You keep $21.98, and it ships free.
A serving is one scoop, and a tub runs 14 days. The creatine and the magnesium both go 30. A stack that quits on day 15 isn’t a month of anything, so we doubled the collagen and priced the second tub about as close to our cost as we can stand: $19 instead of $29.99. Most of the $21.98 you save comes off that tub.
About $2.93 a day for the month. One checkout, one box, the base of your routine handled.
Start the stack — $87.99Take all three for thirty days.
Put the collagen in your coffee, bring the creatine to training, take the magnesium with dinner. Don’t skip.
If your knees don’t feel better on the stairs, if you don’t sleep any deeper, if 4PM hits exactly as hard as it did before, email us and we’ll make it right. No form to fill out, and nothing to ship back.
We’d rather refund you than have you keep a shelf of things you don’t use. We already know what that shelf looks like.
Before you buy
Questions.
What exactly comes in the Foundation Stack?
Four containers, three products: two tubs of Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides, Creatine Hydration Powder (5,000mg monohydrate plus electrolytes, lemon, 30 servings), and Magnesium Glycinate. $87.99 instead of $109.97 separately, shipped free in one box. It covers a full thirty days.
Why two tubs of collagen and one of everything else?
Because a tub runs 14 days and the other two run 30. One tub would leave you out of collagen on day 15, which makes the whole month pointless. The second tub is priced at $19 instead of $29.99, about as close to our cost as we can stand, and that discount is most of what you save on the stack.
Can I take all three the same day? Do they interfere with each other?
That’s how it’s designed. They’re spread across the day for a reason: collagen in the morning, creatine around training, magnesium at dinner. That’s when each one is most useful.
How long before I notice anything?
Hydration and sleep tend to be the first things guys mention. Joints and strength take longer, because they’re structural. Plan on 60 to 90 days of consistent use. Collagen, creatine, and magnesium all build up in your system over time. Skipping days is the only reliable way to get nothing out of this.
I already eat pretty clean. Do I need this?
Maybe not. Food first is the right instinct. But collagen comes from the parts of the animal almost nobody cooks, 5g of creatine is about a pound of red meat a day, and magnesium has been dropping in produce for decades. This covers what eating well tends to leave open.
Is the creatine going to make me hold water or feel bloated?
Creatine pulls water into muscle cells. That’s the mechanism working, not bloat. The puffy reputation mostly comes from old-school loading protocols where guys took 20g a day for a week. This is one 5g scoop. No loading phase required.
Do I need to cycle off?
No. Creatine is one of the most-studied supplements in existence and there’s no established reason to cycle. Same for the other two. Consistency is the point.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
Then you get your money back. Thirty days, no form, no fine print, nothing to ship back. Email us and we’ll make it right. Worst case you’re out an email; best case you stop rebuying four things that don’t do anything.
Cover the basics so well you stop thinking about them.
