That’s why we’re excited to introduce STAAR Labs’ premium line of supplements, crafted with high-quality ingredients while grounded in scientific research.

STAAR Labs supplements are designed to support various aspects of fitness, from energy and endurance to muscle recovery and overall wellness. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to optimize your routine, these thoughtfully formulated products can be valuable allies on your journey to better health. Learn more about how supplementation can be a vital component of your wellness.

Why STAAR LABS?

At STAAR Labs, all supplements are developed with careful oversight, reflecting a deep understanding of functional wellness and the complexities of supporting individual health needs. This hands-on approach ensures that formulations are based on scientific principles, providing meaningful nutritional support as you embark on your fitness journey.

Many commonly available supplements often contain unnecessary fillers, artificial additives, allergens, or low-dose ingredients, which may limit their effectiveness. By contrast, STAAR Labs emphasizes purity and potency by focusing on essential, well-researched components without adding unnecessary extras. This approach aims to minimize potential sensitivities and maximize the supplements’ supportive role.

Supplements are intended to complement, not replace, prescribed medical treatments or therapies. When thoughtfully integrated alongside your new regimen, they can contribute to your broader health and functional fitness goals.

This philosophy of prioritizing quality, safety, and science aligns with Compounding Pharmacy of America’s commitment to offering options that support long-term health in a thoughtful, evidence-informed manner.

STAAR LABS Key Product Categories and Benefits

Supporting your health and fitness goals takes more than just training and diet. It also means giving your body the right nutrients at the right time. Whether you’re focused on improving your energy, faster recovery, balancing hormones, or staying mentally sharp, targeted supplementation can help fill the gaps.

STAAR Labs supplements are designed with active individuals in mind, utilizing research-backed ingredients that support physical performance, recovery, and overall wellness.

Energy Production & Cellular Support

Mitochondria are cell engines, responsible for producing the energy your body relies on, especially during physical activity. Supporting mitochondrial health is crucial for anyone striving to achieve fitness goals, including enhanced endurance, increased strength, or improved recovery.

Key Ingredients:

Goals:

In a 2023 research review published in Cell Metabolism, researchers found that mitochondrial decline is associated with fatigue and age-related health issues, making these supplements valuable for maintaining vitality. (Gherardi et al., 2023) Targeting mitochondrial support could help improve energy production and protect cells, making these nutrients an essential part of your fitness plan.

To that end, research published in StatPearls suggests that CoQ10 helps with the production of ATP (cell energy), can increase the production of antioxidants, and improves blood flow. (Sood et al., 2024) The 2023 Cell Metabolism review found that NAD+ (supplemented as NMN) can boost insulin sensitivity, improve mitochondrial function, and may even extend your lifespan. (Gherardi et al., 2023). Finally, research published in Nutrients describes dozens of ways in which each B vitamin, in its function as a coenzyme, contributes to cell energy metabolism. (Kennedy et al., 2016).

Hormone Balance & Metabolic Health

Hormones regulate much of what happens in the body, from how we build muscle and burn fat to how we manage stress and recover. For anyone pursuing fitness goals, maintaining hormonal balance and a healthy metabolism is crucial for optimizing the benefits of training, nutrition, and recovery.

Key Ingredients:

Goals:

In a 2018 article published by Chinese Medicine, researchers found that adaptogens like ashwagandha can help lower cortisol levels and enhance endurance. (Liao et al., 2018) A 2021 study published by Drug Metabolism and Disposition found that DIM could have a positive effect on metabolism. (Maier et al., 2021) In 2019, the Journal of Biological Chemistry reported that supplementing pregnenolone, a naturally occurring hormone, could help reduce inflammation and combat fatigue. (Murugan et al., 2019)

Finally, DHEA research published in Clinical Endocrinology found that hormonal supplementation increased muscle strength and decreased body fat in men (Morales et al., 1998); meanwhile, a study published in The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews suggests that supplementation with DHEA could regulate hormone levels and improve both wellbeing and sexual function in women. (Scheffers, 2015)

Balanced hormones and efficient metabolism are crucial for optimal performance, effective recovery, and overall well-being. These ingredients provide foundational support for individuals seeking to maintain strength, lean physique, and resilience, both in and out of the gym.

Mental Focus & Mood Regulation

Mental clarity, emotional balance, and the ability to manage stress are essential not just for daily life but for achieving fitness goals, too. Whether you’re training, working, or recovering, staying focused and emotionally grounded can make a meaningful difference in how you perform and feel. Certain nutrients help regulate brain function and the nervous system, offering support for calm, focus, and resilience.

Key Ingredients:

Goals:

Research published in Nutrients suggests that L-theanine could improve attention and reduce anxiety. (Hidese et al., 2019) Similarly, in a 2022 study published in Molecules, researchers found that rhodiola could be linked to reduced fatigue and improved performance under stress. (Ivanova Stojcheva & Quintela, 2022) Research published in the 2023 edition of Biomedicines highlights how GABA, a neurotransmitter, helps regulate stress within the brain and balance mood via the gut-brain axis. (Liwinski et al., 2023) Perhaps most importantly, 2016 research published in Nutrients demonstrates that supplementing B vitamins is a vital step in preserving brain health. (Kennedy, 2016)

Cognitive and mood support isn’t just about mental health. It is about whole-body performance. These nutrients can help you stay steady, focused, and mentally prepared, which is especially important when balancing fitness, work, and recovery.

Recovery & Immune Function

Inflammation and immune function are at the core of how your body heals, adapts, and protects itself, and certain nutrients are thought to help regulate inflammatory processes and bolster immune defenses.

Key Ingredients:

Goals:

A 2021 Dovepress study suggests that curcumin can influence key inflammatory pathways, making it useful for exercise recovery. (Peng et al., 2021) Similarly, a 2018 review in Nutrients provides insight into zinc’s role in immune cell activity and wound healing. (Lin et al., 2017) Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant, and a 2020 research review published in Foods highlights the way it prevents inflammation and modulates the immune system. (Meng et al., 2020) Meanwhile, a Pharmacueticals review published in 2023 reveals how quercetin’s antioxidant properties inhibit the production of inflammatory molecules like cytokines and enzymes, as well as reducing oxidative stress and preventing cell damage. (Aghababaei et al., 2023)

By understanding these ingredient groups and their benefits, patients and providers can better appreciate how STAAR Labs supplements fit into a broader strategy for functional wellness, always rooted in science, not hype.

The Role of Compounding + Supplement Integration

Compounded medications and dietary supplements are distinct but complementary tools in the realm of personalized healthcare. Compounded medications are custom-prepared prescription formulations tailored to address a patient’s unique medical needs, whether that means adjusting dosages, combining multiple medications, or creating specialized delivery forms.

Supplements, however, are typically non-prescription products that provide vitamins, minerals, herbs, or other nutrients intended to support overall health and wellness.

When integrated thoughtfully, compounded medications and supplements can work hand-in-hand to help patients achieve better health outcomes. For example, while a compounded hormone replacement therapy might directly address a hormone deficiency, supplements like adaptogens or targeted nutrients can support the body’s stress response and metabolic processes, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your treatment.

Supplements can be beneficial as adjunctive support for patients dealing with a variety of common health challenges, including:

Compounding pharmacists are uniquely qualified to help patients navigate these options. Their expertise goes beyond dispensing medications, as they understand the pharmacology of compounds, any potential interactions, and the science behind the supplements. Pharmacists can evaluate a patient’s health status, medication regimen, and goals to recommend safe and effective supplement choices that complement their compounded therapies.

Additionally, pharmacists can help educate patients on proper dosing, timing, and potential side effects of supplements, ensuring an integrated and coordinated approach to treatment. This collaborative model empowers patients to take an active role in their wellness journey while receiving professional guidance to optimize outcomes.

It’s essential to emphasize that supplements are adjunctive. This means they’re not intended to replace prescribed medications and positive lifestyle changes, but instead must work alongside them to provide holistic support. It’s never recommended to start a supplement regimen without first discussing it with your medical provider, especially if you’re already taking a prescription medication.
