Cold and heat exposure create significant metabolic demand. The body requires specific micronutrients to execute the hormetic adaptation: magnesium for nervous system recovery, omega-3s for inflammation resolution, vitamin D3 for immune modulation, and trace minerals for enzymatic function. Algae — spirulina and chlorella — provide the most bioavailable complete protein available in nature, along with chlorophyll, B12, and a mineral profile that mirrors human blood plasma. Adaptogens modulate the HPA axis, reducing the cortisol overshoot that can occur with intense cold and heat protocols.
The Zeavva Foundation Stack is the minimum effective dose: magnesium glycinate (400mg before bed), vitamin D3 + K2 (5000 IU with fat), omega-3 (2–3g EPA/DHA with food), and spirulina/chlorella (5–10 tablets with water, morning). Add adaptogens based on your primary need: ashwagandha for cortisol and stress, lion's mane for cognition and neurogenesis, cordyceps for VO2 max and endurance. Trace minerals and electrolytes post-sauna. Everything else is optimization on top of this foundation.
"You cannot out-supplement a bad lifestyle. But you can absolutely under-nourish a great one. The foundation stack is not optional — it is the minimum."
