The science
Phytaphix products are formulated from peer-reviewed research, not marketing claims. This page is where the work is visible: the publications, the awards, the methodology.
The evidence, by product
The front tab is our method. Each product tab summarises the evidence and the nutrients behind that formula. Select one to read it.
Every Phytaphix formulation starts from a clinical question: what is the body actually trying to do for this outcome, and what nutrients does the peer-reviewed evidence support for that pathway?
From there, we work back to specific ingredients, specific forms (e.g. methylated folate rather than folic acid for people with MTHFR variants), and specific doses backed by human studies, not animal-only data. Each ingredient earns its place. Nothing is in a Phytaphix formula because it sounds good on a label.
Why plant-based. The decision isn't ethical, it's evidence-based. The phytonutrient and antioxidant fraction of plant foods contains the molecules most strongly linked to the outcomes our products target, and plant-based delivery is the most direct way to put that material into a daily supplement at meaningful doses.
Fertility Phix is the world's most comprehensive, all-in-one, unisex fertility supplement: 27 clinically-backed ingredients in one daily sachet, formulated by Dr. Conor Kerley from the peer-reviewed literature for both partners across natural conception and IVF, IUI and ICSI. Ingredients are chosen and dosed at the levels the evidence supports, in forms the body can use, including methylated folate (L-5-MTHF) for people with MTHFR variants. Methylated folate supports normal cell division and DNA synthesis; inositol contributes to normal hormonal activity and ovarian function.
Heart & Blood Sugar Phix is a plant-based daily food supplement formulated by Dr. Conor Kerley. 13 nutrients built around high-dose Coenzyme Q10 (200mg) and berberine, with thiamine, chromium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 and a full set of methylated, activated B vitamins, in a simple two-capsule daily habit. Thiamine contributes to the normal function of the heart; chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. The methylated B vitamins also contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. No fillers, no binders.
Immune Phix is a plant-based daily food supplement formulated by Dr. Conor Kerley that contributes to normal immune function. It is built around the phytonutrient and antioxidant fraction of plant foods, the compounds most strongly linked to immune outcomes in the human evidence, starting from the question of which nutrients most reliably contribute to normal immune function in human studies. Plant-based (30 servings), it works easily into daily life: on porridge, in a smoothie, or in water.
Neuro Phix is a daily plant-based food supplement formulated by Dr. Conor Kerley to contribute to normal nervous system function and reduce tiredness. It is built around the nutrients the evidence supports for normal nervous system function and energy metabolism, at doses the human evidence supports, (90 capsules). Every ingredient is selected from the human peer-reviewed evidence, not animal studies or industry-funded claims. It is often combined with Energy Phix or Lipoic Acid Phix; always discuss with your healthcare professional, particularly if taking other supplements or medication.
Inflammation Phix is a high-strength, plant-based daily food supplement formulated by Dr. Conor Kerley that concentrates 10 plant ingredients most associated with polyphenol-rich, Mediterranean-style eating (turmeric curcuminoids, olive hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein, pomegranate ellagic acid, quercetin, ginger and bromelain) with black-pepper piperine to aid absorption, all in one daily capsule made from naturally fermented tapioca. Added vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal muscle function, and vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
