Beyond the Label: How ARC Prioritizes Research, Quality, and Transparency


At ARC (Active Research Collective), we didn’t set out to build just another supplement brand. We set out to build a better standard—one based on real science, clean sourcing, and radical transparency. 

In a market full of generic formulas, proprietary blends, and unverified health claims, our approach is different: 

We lead with research, formulate with integrity, and make products you can actually trust. 

Here’s what that looks like behind the scenes. 


Research-Driven Formulation, No Compromises 

Every formula at ARC begins with a single question: 

What does the science say? 

We don’t follow trends—we follow clinical data. From dosage to delivery, every ingredient is selected based on what’s been proven to work in real human studies. That’s why we consistently choose trademarked, research-backed ingredients over generic alternatives.  

For example: 

  • PeakO2® (in ARC Resilience) is a 6-mushroom adaptogen blend clinically shown to improve VO₂ max, power output, and time to fatigue in athletes. 

  • PrimaVie® is a purified, traceable form of Himalayan shilajit that enhances mitochondrial energy, ATP production, and nutrient absorption—tested for both safety and performance. 

  • Wellmune® is a patented beta-glucan with over a dozen peer-reviewed studies showing immune support under physical and emotional stress. 

  • Our colostrum (in ARC Radiance) is standardized to 50% IgG—more than double the potency of most competitors—supporting gut lining integrity and immune resilience. 

These aren’t buzzwords. They’re measurable, validated, third-party tested compounds that we source because they work—at the right doses, in the right forms. 


Clean Before It Was Cool  

Before “clean label” became a buzzword, we were already doing it. 

From day one, ARC has never included:  

  • Artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols 

  • Synthetic flavors or fragrances 

  • Chemical preservatives, dyes, or artificial colors 

We believe what’s not in your supplement matters just as much as what is. 
So while the industry now scrambles to remove sucralose and Blue #1—we never used them in the first place. 

Our formulas are designed to be effective, but also easy on your gut, your palate, and your long-term health. No shortcuts. No compromises. 


Quality That’s Traceable—and Testable  

Behind every ARC product is a commitment to purity and safety: 

  • All formulas are manufactured in cGMP-certified facilities 

  • Every batch is third-party tested for identity, potency, heavy metals, and microbial contamination 

  • We never hide behind proprietary blends—our dosages are fully disclosed and backed by data 

And because we use premium trademarked ingredients, our supply chain is fully transparent and traceable—from soil to scoop. 


Transparency Is Not a Marketing Strategy—It’s Our Baseline 

We believe consumers deserve to know exactly what they’re putting in their body. No inflated claims. No hidden fillers. No gimmicks. 

That’s why: 

  • We publish full ingredient panels—not just “actives” 

  • We use science as the foundation of our formulations 

  • We educate as much as we innovate—because a well-informed customer is an empowered one


Wellness for the Active, the Ambitious, and the Curious 

ARC was created for people who demand more—from their routines, from their health, and from their supplements. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a wellness enthusiast, or someone who simply wants to feel sharper and recover faster—ARC is designed to meet you where you are and help you go further.  

We don’t just make products. We make tools for resilience, fuel for focus, and formulas that evolve with you. 


Final Thought 

In a world of wellness shortcuts, ARC is the long game. 

Clinically supported. Transparently dosed. Relentlessly researched. 

And always, clean by choice—not by trend. 

 Because when it comes to your body—you should never have to guess.
