Circadia vs.
IM8.

Another celebrity-backed, do-everything daily powder with a long ingredient list and a premium price. Same everything-at-once logic, same thin evidence, same missing clock.

Where the gap opens
01

The same everything-at-once bet

A single daily scoop that promises to cover energy, gut, immunity and recovery at once is convenient marketing, not targeted nutrition. The same independent reviews that questioned AG1 apply to the format, not just the brand.12

02

A long label is not a dose

Listing dozens of ingredients tells you nothing about whether any is present in an amount that does something. We dose four nutrients Canadians actually miss, and we print every number.34

03

No clock, again

One morning scoop cannot serve both the climb of your morning and the wind-down of your night. Circadia is built as two moments, not one.5

04

Form over flash

We name our forms, like magnesium glycinate over cheap oxide, because absorption is the difference between a number on a label and a benefit in your body.6
