Our Supply Chain

We run a world-class operations and supply chain organization with deep industry experience. During the course of manufacturing H.V.M.N. products, there are at least three quality and purity audits from the acceptance of raw materials to full WADA compliance of the final product. All manufacturing facilities are located in the US and are compliant with the cGMP regulations as stipulated by the FDA.

Our Intellectual Property

We actively partner with world-class researchers and organizations to invent, develop, and foster novel intellectual property. H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester, our flagship product, was born out of such a collaboration. We partnered with TdeltaS, an Oxford University spinout, based on research from the University of Oxford, the National Institutes of Health, and DARPA to commercialize the ΔG® ketone ester, which is protected by an portfolio of US and International patents.

How does one go from casual, three-times-a-week jogger to one of the best ultramarathoners on the planet? Ask Jeff Browning. Before the long list of wins (including first place finishes at the 2018 Hardrock 100, 2018 Antelope Island 100, 2018 Pinhoti 100) and course records (2016 Free State 100K, 2016 Western States 100/Hardrock 100 double record, 2014 Zion 100), Jeff was a mountain biker with a pure love of outdoor sport.

H.V.M.N. Research and Development Principles

The cornerstone of science is the systematic, transparent pursuit of truth. The pursuit of truth in the field of human enhancement is what drives us at H.V.M.N.

While our understanding of the field adapts as better techniques and new data is discovered, the principles with which we conduct our research and development do not. We publish these principles with the following goals in mind: to plant a flag and define a new standard of public accountability, to continue to earn your trust, and to build the foundation of an intrepid company that will continue to do important work for many generations.

Safety and Regulations.

Our first priority is to ensure the safety of our customers: our products will only ever contain ingredients that are FDA and WADA compliant.

Label Transparency.

No proprietary blends. We always state exact ingredients, amount, and purity backed by 3rd party certificates of analysis (COA’s) to validate that the products have been tested and match the labels.

Active Research.

We contribute to the body of scientific knowledge by undertaking in-house research and collaborating with external research institutions. We share and/or publish all notable results of studies that concern our products or the ingredient(s).

Driven by Data, not Dogma.

We are open to re-evaluating our products and recommended protocols as new data emerges. This means adding or removing ingredients or routines, updating manufacturing processes, modifying the way we describe our product, and/or pulling products full stop.

Personal Measurement.

We are forthcoming with protocols to test and measure the efficacy of H.V.M.N. products on an individual basis. A clinical trial on a cohort of humans, even when showing statistical significance, does not guarantee effect on a specific individual.

Evidence Grading.

We share full knowledge of our understanding of the effects of H.V.M.N. products and their ingredients. Specifically, we indicate the grade of evidence underpinning H.V.M.N. products.
