FAQ

Questions athletes actually ask.

We believe you deserve clear, honest answers before you commit to anything. If you don't find what you're looking for here, reach out directly — we're always happy to talk.

How is HTMA different from the blood work my doctor or team physician orders?
Blood work is valuable, but it has a built-in limitation: your body works hard to keep blood chemistry within a "normal" range even when your cells are depleted. So you can be functionally deficient in key minerals and still get a panel that looks perfectly fine. HTMA bypasses that entirely. It looks at what is actually happening inside your cells over a three-month period, not just what is circulating in your blood on the day of the test. For athletes, this distinction is everything. How many times have you been told your labs look normal while feeling anything but? HTMA is where those missing answers often live.
Who is this program for?
This program is for competitive athletes who are tired of not having real answers. If you are dealing with recurring injuries, slow recovery, energy crashes, mood shifts, or burnout that feels tied to your training load, this is for you. Whether you are a high school athlete, a college competitor, or an adult making a comeback, HTMA gives you the cellular-level data to finally understand what is going on inside your body and build a real protocol around it.
What does the program include from start to finish?
Everything is included in one enrollment. You will receive your HTMA test kit by mail, send your sample to a certified lab, and receive a detailed personalized results report within about 2 to 3 weeks. From there, your custom mineral formula and zeolite for detox support are compounded specifically for you and shipped to your door. At the end of your program you will have a 30-minute follow-up consultation with Katie to review your progress and talk next steps. Nothing generic, nothing guessed. Everything built around your body and your data.
What are the supplements made of and how are they manufactured?
Your custom formula is compounded by Vykon Customs, one of the most trusted names in HTMA-based supplementation. Every formula is made in a cGMP compliant lab licensed under Health Canada, meeting strict pharmaceutical-grade production standards. There are zero fillers, zero artificial flavours, and zero sweeteners. Every ingredient is tested for heavy metals, mold, microbes, and contaminants. Raw materials come with a Certificate of Analysis, and anything that does not meet Vykon's standards gets sent back. What you receive is a genuinely therapeutic dose of exactly what your body needs, not the trace amounts found in off-the-shelf supplements.
Why do athletes specifically need mineral support?
Training is incredibly demanding on your mineral reserves in ways most athletes and even most sports medicine professionals do not fully account for. Every time you sweat, you lose minerals. Every cortisol spike from a hard workout shifts your mineral balance. High-volume training accelerates depletion across the systems — adrenal, thyroid, nervous system — that rely on minerals to function. When those reserves run low, it shows up as fatigue, slow recovery, mood changes, poor sleep, and injuries. Standard sports nutrition rarely addresses this at the cellular level. HTMA does.
How long does it take to get results and see changes?
Lab results typically come back within 2 to 3 weeks of your sample being received. Once your results are in, your formula is compounded and shipped, so from enrollment expect your supplements in hand within about 4 to 5 weeks. As for feeling changes, some clients notice shifts in energy and sleep within the first few weeks. Others see more gradual improvement as the program progresses. Minerals work at a deep cellular level and real lasting change takes time, so trust the process and give your body the space to respond.
Is this a replacement for medical care?
No, and we want to be clear about that. The Mineral Lab Athletics program is a nutritional wellness service, not a medical diagnosis or treatment. HTMA is a powerful analytical tool and the protocols we build are targeted nutritional support based on your individual results, but they are not a substitute for your doctor, sports medicine team, or any other healthcare provider. We always encourage clients to share their HTMA results with their healthcare team. Think of this as an additional layer of data and support working alongside your existing care, not instead of it.
What is your refund policy?
All sales are final. Because every formula is custom-compounded specifically for you based on your unique HTMA results, we are unable to offer refunds under any circumstances. This is not a product sitting on a shelf. It is built from scratch for your body and your data, which is also why we take such care in the analysis and recommendation process. If you have any questions or concerns at any point in your program, please reach out. We are here to support you every step of the way.
