The 14-day protocol
Onboarding (Days 1-3)
Half-dose ramp-in on Magnesium Drift before bed. Full dose Primal Forge AM. Track sleep onset latency and morning HRV baseline before adding the third compound.
Compounding (Days 4-10)
Lion's Mane comes in. Full PM stack live. Deep sleep duration starts to extend (typically +12-20 min by day 7 per Whoop/Oura data). HPA axis modulation begins.
Steady state (Days 11-14)
Baseline shifts. You stop noticing the ritual and start noticing the days. Decide if you commit to the 90-day cycle (TIER 3) or the 180-day cycle (TIER 4 — adds Calm Drops bonus).
What the research says about stress, sleep, and cognition.
Studies cited below are research on the active compound class, not claims about this finished product.
| Study | Year | Dose | Outcome | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KSM-66 Ashwagandha for chronic stress | 2012 | 600 mg/day, 60 days | Serum cortisol reduced 27.9% versus placebo. Self-rated stress scale dropped across PSS-10 and HADS metrics. | PubMed PMID 23439798 |
| Oral magnesium supplementation on sleep quality in elderly | 2012 | 500 mg/day, 8 weeks | Significant improvement in sleep efficiency, sleep time, and sleep onset latency. Serum renin, melatonin, and cortisol levels improved. | PubMed PMID 23853635 |
| Lion's Mane Hericium erinaceus on mild cognitive impairment | 2009 | 1000 mg x3/day, 16 weeks | Significant improvement on cognitive function scale compared to placebo. Scores declined after discontinuation, consistent with active compound dependence. | PubMed PMID 18844328 |
Questions on Foundation Daily
Why these three together?
The OURS Foundation Daily is built around the AM-PM operator rhythm. Primal Forge and Lion's Mane in the morning support cognition and the stress-response baseline. Magnesium Drift in the evening calms the nervous system enough for the body to actually use the day's gains. Together they cover the three pillars most often degraded by sustained executive load: stress, sleep, and cognition.
When do I take each one?
Primal Forge: 1 capsule with breakfast. Lion's Mane: 1 capsule with breakfast (taken with Primal). Magnesium Drift: 2 capsules 30-60 min before bed. The protocol assumes you're consistent — adaptogens don't work on an as-needed basis.
When will I feel the difference?
Magnesium Drift: same night. You may notice quicker sleep onset and fewer 3am wake-ups within 3-5 days. Primal Forge and Lion's Mane: 2-4 weeks. Adaptogens work through HPA axis and BDNF modulation, which compounds — the gains stack rather than spike.
Why is the bundle cheaper than buying separately?
Because the protocol only works when you take all three. Pricing the bundle below the sum of parts is our way of removing the friction. The single-purchase bundle saves you $18.73 versus buying each SKU one-off. The 3-month and 6-month commitment tiers save more, plus we ship them free.
