The Struggle
As a cycling coach, Owen Blake knew endurance, but his own was vanishing. His legs felt like sandbags, recovery slowed, and his mind clouded. He tried everything: protein shakes, electrolyte boosters, more mileage. Nothing worked.
A friend suggested testing. His labs revealed the hidden deficit: Ferritin 14 ng/mL, B12 295 pg/mL, Folate 5.1 ng/mL, Vitamin D 22, Magnesium 1.78 mg/dL, Zinc 63 µg/dL. He was, as his doctor put it, 'depleted, not unfit.'

The Breaking Point
During a mountain ride, his vision tunneled and he had to stop halfway, something that hadn’t happened in fifteen years. Sitting by the trail, staring at his bike, he whispered, 'I’m strong, but not powered.' Later that night, he discovered Vitals Vault, whose tagline, 'Energy begins with absorption', hit harder than any training mantra. He ordered the test immediately.
