Why now
Your grandparents didn't need this. You do.
Not because you're doing something wrong. Because the world you live in is not the world your body was built for. These aren't scare lines. They're measurements.
Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2004
Environmental Science & Technology, 2019 · University of New Mexico, 2024
Microplastics, pesticide runoff and PFAS turn up in tap water, bottled water and rain. Filtering helps. It doesn't close the door.
Residue on the produce, additives in the package, and less nutrition in the vegetable itself than the one your grandmother served.
Blood. Arteries. Placentas. Breast milk. Scientists stopped asking whether it gets in. The question now is how much, and what your body does with it.
Your gut decides what gets in. Your mitochondria make every ounce of energy you feel. Your liver and your lymph take out the trash. Your cell membranes take the hits. None of it is broken. It was never designed for this volume, and nobody is giving it a day off.
The Core 4 doesn't fight your body. It feeds the four systems that were built for exactly this.*
The problem you already have
You don't have an energy problem. You have an engine problem.
Every bit of energy you'll ever feel is made inside your cells, in tiny engines called mitochondria. When they're fueled and protected, you run well. When they're not, no amount of coffee fixes it. A stimulant just borrows against tomorrow.
You sleep, you train, you eat clean(ish), and you still reach for something just to get through the afternoon.
The workout, the long day, the weekend on your feet. The same activity costs more than it used to.
Rereading the same sentence. Walking into a room and forgetting why. You're 34 and you've quietly accepted it.
Here's the part nobody tells you: none of that means you're broken. It means the system that fuels, protects and cleans your cells needs support, not another stimulant. Support the cell, and you support everything it powers.*
Cleanse. Renew. Go forward.

AM · MorningCoreFlow · Gut and microbiome
Your gut doesn't need a cleanse. It needs fuel.
One unflavored stick pack, once daily. Mixes into anything.
Most gut products drop new bacteria in and hope they stick around. CoreFlow works the other way. It feeds the good bacteria you already have, so your gut supports its own production of butyrate, the fuel the lining of your gut actually runs on.*
Probiotics add strangers to the mix. CoreFlow feeds the bacteria you've had your whole life, which is the part most products skip entirely.
Fibregum™ acacia fiber does the slow work. ReBiome™ does the fast work. Digestive enzymes handle what you eat today.
Bacillus subtilis travels as a protected spore, survives your stomach, needs no refrigeration, and activates when it senses food.
It's unflavored. Stir it into coffee, water or a smoothie, and it disappears. No sweeteners, no flavors, no colors.
- Support for a balanced gut environment*
- Support for your gut's own butyrate production, the fuel your colon lining runs on*
- Gut barrier support*
- Support for your body's own digestive work, meal after meal*
- A good source of magnesium, plus potassium and electrolytes*

AM · MorningCoreBlue · Cellular energy
Nature's energy peptides.
Energy from the cell, not from a stimulant. No caffeine. No jitter. No three o'clock drop.
Peptides, from food
Spirulina is a protein rich superfood, and when its proteins break down during digestion they release smaller chains of amino acids called peptides. In an in vitro study, our organic spirulina protein was compared with pea and whey protein isolates through each phase of digestion. It rapidly released free amino acids as early as the oral phase, and in the small intestine it showed a higher release of the smaller bioactive peptides than pea and whey.
In vitro ingredient study on our organic spirulina. It was not run on people or on the finished CoreBlue tablet. CoreBlue is a dietary supplement, not a peptide medication.
Caffeine doesn't actually give you energy. It hides the tired, then hands it back with interest. CoreBlue works the other way: organic spirulina and its own natural pigments, feeding the tiny engines inside your cells that make your energy in the first place.*
Part of your cell is watery, and part of it is oily. Most antioxidants only work in one of the two. CoreBlue brings five natural pigments that cover both: blue phycocyanin for the watery inside, four carotenoids including AstaReal® astaxanthin for the oily membranes.
Spirulina absorbs whatever it's grown in. CoreBlue's comes from one organic grower that raises, processes and presses it in one clean, controlled place. USP compliant, and tested for over 500 contaminants.
By an outside lab, not our own, including a screen for microcystin, the pond toxin that can turn up in spirulina grown in open water.
The phycocyanin is verified in the finished tablet, not just the raw material. What's on the label is what's in your hand.
- Natural cellular energy from whole food nutrition. No stimulants, no crash*
- Everyday antioxidant defense against the stress of making energy*
- Support for your body's own antioxidant defenses, across the whole cell*
- Complete whole food plant nutrition in the same five tablets*

Good to know: Vegan, gluten free and dairy free. The astaxanthin comes from microalgae, not shellfish.
PM · EveningCoreGreen · Nightly elimination support
Cracked open. Studied for binding. Taken while you sleep.*
Five tablets at night. Whole cracked cell chlorella, supporting the body's natural elimination pathways while your liver does its heaviest work.*
Your clean up crew is outmatched.
Heavy metals. Microplastics. Pesticides. Forever chemicals. Exhaust in the air, additives in the food. A load your grandparents never faced, arriving quietly, every single day. Your body runs a built in clean up process to handle it, with your liver doing the heavy lifting, and it never gets a day off. The system isn't broken. It was never designed for this volume.
The detox aisle answers with harsh cleanses that leave you drained. CoreGreen is the opposite: daily support for a system that's already working, and already a little outmatched.*
The binding is real. It's one of the best understood properties of chlorella.
Three things happen when cracked cell chlorella meets what's passing through your gut. Tap each one.
1. The cell wall attracts metalsLab and animal research, small human studies
Cracking the wall exposes fibers and proteins with negatively charged sites that attract positively charged metal ions such as lead, cadmium and mercury. It's called biosorption, and it works so reliably that chlorella is used to clean metals out of contaminated water.
2. The biomass absorbs fat loving pollutantsAnimal research, limited human data
Compounds like dioxins and some older pesticides are drawn to chlorella's natural fats and fiber, the way oil is drawn into a sponge.
3. Chlorophyll locks onto certain compoundsHuman studies, the strongest evidence
Chlorophyll's flat ring stacks tightly against similar flat molecules, such as aflatoxin (a toxin found in some foods) and compounds formed on charred meat. Once paired, they're too large to absorb.
Where it works: the gut
Your liver constantly sends compounds into the gut through bile so they can leave the body, but a share gets reabsorbed and recirculates. Chlorella can bind some of them in the gut so they're carried out with normal elimination instead.*
Why we don't just say "removes toxins"
Not because it's false. The mechanism is well documented in lab and animal research, with smaller human studies on specific compounds. But "removes heavy metals" is a promise about what a product does inside your body, and that level of claim takes large human trials at the exact dose, which don't exist yet for any chlorella product on earth. So we teach you the science and keep the outcome language honest. You deserve the real thing, not hype.
CoreGreen is organic chlorella, a freshwater algae with a cell wall so tough your body can't break through it. So we crack it open first. Inside is chlorophyll, iron and naturally occurring B12, supporting your body's own detoxification pathways overnight.*
Cracking the wall exposes fibers and chlorophyll that have been studied for binding certain compounds in the digestive tract, including heavy metals in the gut, so they are harder to absorb.*
Your liver sends compounds into the gut through bile so they can leave the body. Chlorella's fiber can bind some of them in the gut, so they leave with normal elimination instead of being reabsorbed.*
Whole chlorella passes straight through you. Ours is 100% cracked cell, which is the only version your body can actually get into.
Your body's daily clearing runs on methylation, and methylation runs on B12. CoreGreen's B12 occurs naturally in the algae. It is not added in as a synthetic.*
- Support for your body's natural daily detoxification pathways*
- Support for the body's natural elimination pathways*
- Daily cellular clean up and antioxidant defense*
- Cellular energy metabolism support from naturally occurring B12*
- Complete whole food nutrition: complete plant protein, vitamins, minerals and pigments*

CoreGreen nutritional profileFull profile, PDFHow to take it, and good to know
1 to 5 tablets each evening (5 is a full serving), with or without food. Start at one for a few nights, then build. Not a crash cleanse. Daily support, done right.
Good to know: Vegan, gluten free, dairy free.
PM · EveningCoreRed · Mobility and recovery
The kind of oil your joints can actually use.
One softgel at night, with food.
You used to bounce back. CoreRed is Antarctic krill oil, hyaluronic acid and natural astaxanthin, supporting joint hydration, comfortable movement and recovery. The omega 3s come in a form your cell membranes are already built to use, so nothing has to be converted first.*
Krill oil's omega 3s come attached to phospholipids, the same material your cell membranes are built from. Fish oil has to be converted first. This doesn't.
Hyaluronic acid is what makes joint fluid slippery. Ours is low molecular weight and made by fermentation, not pulled from animal tissue.
Astaxanthin is a rare antioxidant whose shape lets one molecule span the entire cell membrane.*
Not just the ingredients. The actual formula was clinically studied by the manufacturer. An O2B® botanical blocker also keeps the oils from turning, so day 28 matches day one.
- Joint comfort, mobility and ease of movement*
- Joint hydration and lubrication, the smooth, no catch feeling*
- Cellular protection and antioxidant defense*
- Marine purity, documented: heavy metals by ICP-MS, plus dioxins, PCBs and PAHs tested against recognized international limits

How to take it, and good to know
1 softgel daily with food, suggested in the evening alongside CoreGreen. If evenings don't fit, earlier is fine. Consistency matters most.
Good to know: Contains crustacean shellfish (krill). Not suitable for shellfish allergies. The softgel contains bovine gelatin and beeswax, so CoreRed is not vegan or vegetarian.
The quality problem
Most algae is grown in a question mark. Ours comes with receipts.
Algae takes up whatever it grows in. So where it's grown, and how often it's tested, matter more than anything printed on the front of the pack.
Tested 3 times a batch
An outside lab screens the bulk, the first bag and the last bag. That includes microcystin, the pond toxin that can turn up in spirulina grown in open water, and heavy metals by ICP-MS.
Eurofins: 70+ screens
Every product runs through Eurofins, one of the largest independent testing networks in the world, and has passed screening for over 70 pesticides and toxins. Our spirulina is USP compliant and tested for over 500 contaminants.
NSF and GMP certified
Made in NSF and GMP certified facilities with trademarked ingredients at stated amounts: Superba2™ krill oil, Fibregum™, ReBiome™, HU58®, AstaReal® and Albion® TRAACS® minerals. No proprietary blends. One organic grower behind every algae ingredient.

Us vs the supplement aisle
Twelve bottles, or one routine.
Most people trying to fix this end up with a cabinet full of half used bottles and no idea what's working. The Core 4 was designed as one system, with nothing hidden.
"Typical stack" describes the common pattern of buying a separate fiber, probiotic, greens powder, fish oil, multivitamin and energy product from different brands. Individual products vary.

What to expect
Give your body 90 days
Health is a journey, not a quick fix. Use your Core system consistently for at least 90 days to give your body time to adapt and experience the full benefits of the routine.
- 1Days 1 through 14Settle into the routine. Start low on tablets if you prefer. Many people notice the mornings first.
- 15Days 15 through 60Build to the full serving. Stay consistent. This is where the 3pm wall usually stops showing up.
- 90Day 90Your first real checkpoint. Compare how you feel to the day you ordered.
Everyone's body is different. Timelines describe a typical routine, not a guaranteed result.
Good questions
Before you order
What exactly arrives in my first box?
A full 4 week supply of all four: 28 CoreFlow stick packs, 140 CoreBlue tablets, 140 CoreGreen tablets and 28 CoreRed softgels. Then the same box again every 4 weeks on ProShip, until you tell it otherwise.
How does ProShip work? Can I cancel?
ProShip delivers your Core 4 every 4 weeks with free shipping at the 40% off price. You can skip a shipment, move the date, pause or cancel anytime from your account. No contract, no phone call required.
Is it really $159? Anything added at checkout?
$159 for the Core 4 Foundation on ProShip, shipping included. Tax is added by your state where it applies, the same as any online order. The 40% off is built into the price, so there's no code to hunt for.
Do I have to take them at exact times?
No. Perga gives suggested morning and evening directions, but you don't need to overthink it. Consistency is more important than perfect timing. The products may be taken together if that makes the routine easier to maintain.
Can I start slow?
Yes. The full Foundation serving is five tablets each of CoreBlue and CoreGreen, but you can begin with one tablet and gradually increase toward the full serving.
When will I notice something?
It varies. Some people feel the mornings change in the first two weeks; for others it's quieter and shows up around day 60 as "wait, when did the afternoon crash stop?" Give it 90 days and judge it then.
What if I have a shellfish allergy?
CoreRed contains crustacean shellfish from Antarctic krill. If you have a shellfish allergy, choose Core 3 without CoreRed at checkout.
I take medication. Is this okay for me?
Talk to your healthcare provider before starting any supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition. Bring the labels above with you. They're the real ones.
Is CoreBlue a peptide medication?
No. CoreBlue is a spirulina dietary supplement. Food derived peptides are different from prescription or therapeutic peptides.
What are Optimization and Longevity?
Three ways to run the same routine, so you can match the Core 4 to your life. Foundation ($159 on ProShip) is where most people start: one CoreFlow stick pack, five CoreBlue, five CoreGreen and one CoreRed a day. Optimization ($279) is our most popular level, built for a more demanding lifestyle: twice the CoreBlue, CoreGreen and CoreRed each day. Longevity ($399) is our most advanced daily protocol and the one our health professionals reach for: three times the CoreBlue, CoreGreen and CoreRed. CoreFlow stays at one stick pack a day at every level, because one is all your gut needs. Start at Foundation and move up whenever you are ready.
