Safety & boundaries
Prototypes, used responsibly.
Forge kits are raw-ingredient prototyping products. Used inside their protocol they’re straightforward — but they aren’t finished supplements, and a few groups shouldn’t use them at all.
Using a kit safely
Stay inside the protocol.
Forge publishes no recommended formulation, so what you prepare and how much you take are your decisions. Each kit ships with a limits card and an instruction sheet naming its specific cautions — stimulants, botanicals, electrolytes, or fibre titration — and the statutory daily maximum for every capped material. Never exceed those maximums.
Don’t use kits during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for children, or alongside relevant medicines or medical conditions without clinician review. Kidney disease and electrolyte restrictions matter for the hydration and recovery kits; sedative, thyroid, and serotonergic medicines matter for the calm and sleep kits.
If in doubt about a specific ingredient and your circumstances, talk to a clinician before tasting.
The boundary
What a prototype is — and isn’t.
A Forge prototype is
- A formula you build and taste-test
- Roughly 60% of a commercial product
- For validation, not retail sale
- The input to MHS manufacturing
A Forge prototype is not
- A finished, market-ready supplement
- Compliance-reviewed or TGA-listed
- Safe to resell as-is
- A substitute for professional manufacturing
Forge kits produce prototypes — approximately 60% of a commercial product. What’s missing is intentional: professional flavour optimisation, TGA compliance review, final batch documentation, and commercial-scale production tolerances. That work belongs at MHS.
The responsible next step
Compliance happens at MHS.
TGA-aligned compliance review, professional flavour work, and batch documentation are the work Forge deliberately doesn’t do. They belong at MHS — the manufacturing stage.
