THE CATEGORY SELLS PERFECTION. WE DON'T.

No superheroes, no perfection. Products designed to hold up in real life — for a generation that is always connected, frequently overloaded, and entirely capable of reading a label if you actually print one.

Why TANK exists

Most supplementation is guesswork. You know you're tired, or wired, or not sleeping. What you don't know is which mechanism is involved, which form of an ingredient is actually absorbed, or whether the dose in front of you resembles the dose used in the study it cites.

That gap is where the category makes its money. Underdosed herbs with vague promises. Proprietary blends that make verification impossible. Mega-doses that sound serious and demonstrate nothing.

TANK is built the other way round. Every formula starts from a mechanism, takes the dose from the randomised controlled trial rather than from a trend, and uses the bioavailable form even when the generic powder is cheaper. Where the evidence is preliminary, we say so on the page rather than turn it into a headline.

Complex science underneath. Simple decisions on top.

Five non-negotiable criteria
  1. 01

    Bioavailable form, not the raw molecule

    Where a chelated, liposomal, phospholipid or patented standardised extract with superior absorption evidence exists, that is the form we use — never the cheapest generic powder.

  2. 02

    Dose from the clinical literature, not from social trends

    Every dose corresponds to the one actually used in the cited randomised controlled trials.

  3. 03

    A declared, verifiable mechanism of action

    Every ingredient carries its biochemical or receptor mechanism — not a generic 'supports wellbeing'.

  4. 04

    No overclaim

    Where evidence is preliminary, in vitro or animal-only, we declare it and refuse to build a headline claim on it. Three popular market ingredients were excluded for exactly this reason.

  5. 05

    Safety and EU regulatory compliance

    Ingredients in regulatory grey areas are excluded. Where a genuine use caution exists, it is stated explicitly.

Communication and tone

LOW CLAIMS, HIGH PERCEIVED EFFECT. WE STATE THE DOSE, THE SOURCE AND THE LIMIT — THE RESTRAINT IS THE MESSAGE.

"For real life conditions."

Brand framework
Formula

Named actives, named sources, EFSA-compliant claims. No proprietary blends hiding a dose.

Dose

Clinically titrated quantities, printed on the label. High dosage is the claim — so we print it rather than hide it.

Voice

Says what the formula does, and what it does not. Where evidence is preliminary, we say so.

Object

The vial — recognisable in a hand, on a desk, in a feed. Prescription-bottle architecture, read for people with no time to waste.

Trust

Repeat purchase, because the effect was felt. Not because a discount code expired.

The object

ONE VIAL. ONE LABEL. ONE PROTOCOL.

The bottle is drawn from the American prescription bottle — the most recognisable object in a pharmacy — re-read for people managing their own health.

The cap is taken from the fuel-tank closures of classic racing boats. TANK is a tank; the closure says so every time you open it.

The type is Atlas Typewriter, the character designed for Olivetti typewriters. The label reads like a clinical report, not like wellness packaging.

Made in Italy

Manufactured for Bios Line S.p.A., Ponte San Nicolò PD, Italy. Formulation is locked with the manufacturer ahead of production, with ingredient-by-ingredient regulatory verification for each market and, where required, nutrition and health claim authorisation under the EU Register (Reg. EC 1924/2006).
