EDITORIAL — October 2024

The daily nutrient profile: a consistent record rather than a single intervention.

About the Specialist

Brussels, October 2024 — The Otaliven catalogue began as a personal record. A nutrition professional with a background in strength conditioning and recovery practice, the specialist behind Otaliven started logging formulation choices not to market them, but to understand patterns across a working year.

What emerged was a disciplined index: formulation entries cross-referenced against daily movement logs, dietary intake notes, and energy-level observations. No claims about outcomes. A documentation practice.

The decision to publish the catalogue as a resource — rather than keep it as a private log — came from a series of conversations with peers: men between 30 and 55 working in physically and cognitively demanding roles who were navigating men's nutrition without reliable, non-commercial references.

Otaliven remains independent, carries no advertising relationships with supplement producers, and updates formulation entries when batch records or published nutritional research prompt a revision.

OUR APPROACH

A repeatable process, not a single assessment.

Otaliven's formulation review follows a four-stage sequence: published nutritional research review, independent supplier verification, batch composition analysis, and serving-schedule documentation. The same sequence applies to every entry in the catalogue, regardless of the ingredient category.

Read Full Methodology
01

Published Research Review

Each ingredient is cross-referenced against peer-reviewed nutritional research before consideration for a formulation entry.

02

Supplier Verification

Supplier documentation, food-grade processing standards, and chain-of-custody records are reviewed before a source is listed in the catalogue.

03

Batch Composition Analysis

Third-party lot verification confirms labelled concentrations against a certificate of composition on a per-batch basis.

04

Serving Schedule Documentation

Time-of-day intake guidance is produced based on published nutritional bioavailability data and practical active-lifestyle scheduling.

CATALOGUE FAQ

Common Questions About the Resource

Otaliven is a documentation resource, not a retailer. These questions address how the catalogue is structured and how entries are reviewed.

The Otaliven catalogue is an independent editorial index of men's nutritional supplement formulations. Each entry documents the ingredient composition, sourcing origin, batch-verification status, and a daily supplement guide based on published nutritional research. The catalogue does not sell products and carries no commercial affiliations with supplement producers.

A formulation is considered for the catalogue only when its core ingredients have documented presence in the published nutritional research, its supplier has passed a food-grade sourcing review, and a third-party batch verification certificate is available. Formulations without verifiable documentation are not included.

We recommend speaking with a qualified wellness or nutrition professional before introducing any supplement to your daily routine, particularly if you have specific dietary requirements. The Otaliven catalogue provides informational documentation only and is not a substitute for individual nutritional guidance.

Entries are updated when new batch records are received, when published nutritional research prompts a serving-guide revision, or when a supplier's sourcing documentation changes. Each entry carries a revision date — visible within the individual catalogue entry — so readers can track when the information was last verified.

No. Otaliven is an informational catalogue and documentation resource. It does not produce, stock, or distribute nutritional supplements. The resource connects readers with evidence-based formulation data to support their own conversations with qualified nutrition professionals and informed purchasing decisions at independent stockists.

In the Otaliven catalogue, "lean body support" refers to the role certain nutrients play in normal protein metabolism, energy-substrate utilisation, and the maintenance of normal muscle function — as documented in published nutritional references. This is a description of a nutrient's metabolic role, not a body-composition outcome claim.
