We believe transparency doesn’t stop at the label. Find honest answers to the most common questions about Holdfast Nutrition, our products, our ingredients, and the mission behind everything we do. If you don’t find what you’re looking for — reach out. We read every message personally!
Q: What is Holdfast Nutrition and why was it created?
A: Holdfast Nutrition was founded by a husband who watched his wife Misty be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and couldn’t find a supplement system thoughtfully designed for people in her situation. After extensive research — and discovering that he also needed nutritional support for his own diabetes and blood sugar challenges — he built the layered system he couldn’t find anywhere else. Holdfast Nutrition exists for people who refuse to stop fighting for their quality of life.
Q: What is the Holdfast Protocol?
A: The Holdfast Protocol is our layered nutrition system. It starts with holdfast:CORE, a daily drink mix that serves as a universal nutritional foundation for everyone. From there, targeted capsule formulas — holdfast:NEURO, holdfast:GLUCO, and holdfast:STEADY — allow you to build a personalized protocol around your specific health needs. Start with the foundation. Add targeted support as needed.
Q: Who is Holdfast Nutrition designed for?
A: Holdfast Nutrition is designed for anyone who wants to support their long-term health through better nutrition — but it was built with a specific focus on people managing complex health challenges like Multiple Sclerosis, neurological conditions, blood sugar irregularities, and chronic fatigue. Every product in our system is formulated with intention and real people in mind.
Q: What is in holdfast:CORE?
A: holdfast:CORE is a daily drink mix built around a foundation of ingredients that support metabolic health, cognitive function, and cellular energy. Our formula includes well-researched nutrients including creatine monohydrate for cellular energy and brain health support, along with a carefully selected blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts. We are committed to transparency and will share our full ingredient panel on our product label in compliance with FDA supplement regulations.
Q: Why does a wellness drink mix contain creatine?
A: Most people associate creatine with muscle building — but research tells a more complete story. Your brain consumes roughly 20% of your body’s total energy and creatine plays a direct role in how your brain produces and manages that energy at the cellular level. Studies have linked creatine supplementation to reduced mental fatigue, improved working memory, and neuroprotective properties. For people managing neurological conditions or cognitive fatigue, this makes creatine a meaningful addition to a daily wellness formula.
Q: Can Holdfast Nutrition help with Multiple Sclerosis?
A: Holdfast Nutrition products are dietary supplements, not treatments or cures for any medical condition including Multiple Sclerosis. Our products are designed to support general health and quality of life through evidence-informed nutrition. Several ingredients in our system have been studied in the context of neurological health, neuroprotection, and cognitive function. We always recommend consulting your neurologist or healthcare provider before adding any supplement to your routine — especially if you are on a disease-modifying therapy.
Q: Is holdfast:CORE safe to take alongside MS disease-modifying therapies?
A: This is one of the most important questions we designed our system around. Our formulas are built to support quality of life without targeting or stimulating the immune system — which is critical for people on immunosuppressive or B cell depleting therapies. However, every person’s situation is unique and we strongly encourage you to review our full ingredient list with your neurologist or pharmacist before starting any new supplement.
Q: How does the Holdfast Protocol support blood sugar health?
A: holdfast:CORE contains a blend of nutrients that have been studied for their role in supporting healthy glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. For more targeted metabolic support, holdfast:GLUCO is designed to build on that foundation with additional ingredients focused specifically on blood sugar regulation. Together they form a layered approach to metabolic wellness. These products are not a substitute for diabetes medication or medical care.
Q: Can I take Holdfast products if I am on Metformin or other diabetes medications?
A: Some ingredients in our formulas may interact with medications commonly used for blood sugar management. We strongly recommend consulting your physician or pharmacist before combining any supplement with prescription medications. We are committed to making our full ingredient list available so your healthcare provider can make an informed recommendation.
Q: How do I use the Holdfast Protocol?
A: Start with holdfast:CORE as your daily foundation — mix one serving with water or your preferred beverage each day. From there, add targeted capsule formulas based on your specific needs. holdfast:NEURO for neurological and cognitive support, holdfast:GLUCO for metabolic and blood sugar support, or holdfast:STEADY for energy and performance support. You do not need to take all products — the system is designed to be personalized.
Q: Are Holdfast Nutrition products safe?
A: Our products are formulated with well-researched ingredients at evidence-informed doses. We are committed to manufacturing through certified facilities that follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and conducting third-party testing for purity and potency. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting — particularly if you are managing a chronic condition or taking prescription medications.
Q: Have these products been evaluated by the FDA?
A: Like all dietary supplements, Holdfast Nutrition products are not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration for their ability to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Our products are formulated and manufactured in compliance with FDA dietary supplement regulations including proper labeling and Good Manufacturing Practice standards.
Q: When will Holdfast Nutrition products be available?
A: We are currently in the product development and manufacturing preparation phase. Our launch will be funded through a crowdfunding campaign where early supporters will be among the first to receive our products. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and sign up for our email list to be notified the moment we go live.
Q: How can I support Holdfast Nutrition right now?
A: The most powerful thing you can do right now is follow our journey, share our story, and help us reach people who need to hear it. If you know someone living with MS, managing blood sugar challenges, or struggling with chronic fatigue — share Holdfast Nutrition with them. When our crowdfunding campaign launches, backing it early makes a direct difference in bringing these products to life. Because nobody should have to hold fast alone.
