Common Supplement Stack Mistakes to Avoid

Unfair Team • January 7, 2026

Most stack failures come from poor sequencing and poor tracking rather than bad ingredients alone.

Why it matters

People often start too many compounds on the same day, skip baseline notes, or double up ingredients across branded formulas. This creates side effect risk and hides what is driving progress. The mistake is not only clinical risk, it is also data loss that makes future choices weaker.

How to apply it

Run a baseline week first, then add one change per cycle. Audit labels for overlapping caffeine, magnesium forms, or stimulant blends before you start. Keep stop rules in writing so you know when to pause after sleep disruption, elevated heart rate, or persistent GI symptoms.

In Unfair

Unfair helps by exposing ingredient overlap and by preserving chronological logs for each stack revision. That history is useful when you return to a prior protocol and want to avoid repeating mistakes.
