Confession: my supplement cabinet used to be a graveyard of half-used bottles. A gummy a friend swore by, a powder from a sale, something I bought because the label was pretty. Between running the kids to practice and games here in Mancos, I don't have time (or money) for stuff that just sits there.

So this fall I did a cabinet audit. Not a scary, throw-everything-out purge. Just a calm look at each bottle with three questions. They come from what Momentous (@live.momentous) calls The Momentous Standard: Science, Sourcing and Certification. Here's how I used them, and you can use them on any brand.

Question 1: Science. Is there a real reason this is in my routine?

Momentous says it follows science, not trends, and builds formulas with experts to meet real nutrient needs. They also skip proprietary blends, so if it's in the formula, the amount is on the label.

What I check: Can I see the exact dose of each ingredient? Do I actually know why I'm taking it? If a label says "blend" and hides the amounts, it goes in the maybe pile.

Question 2: Sourcing. Do I know where the ingredients come from?

Momentous says it sources clinically supported ingredients in their most bioavailable forms, from the cleanest origins it can, and visits its suppliers. Their Whey Protein Isolate, for example, is grass-fed whey from European dairy farms, from cows free of hormones, steroids and rBST, with 20g of protein per serving.

What I check: Does the brand say where and how the ingredients are made, or just use buzzwords?

Question 3: Certification. Has someone outside the company tested it?

This is the big one for me. Supplements aren't approved like medicine, so I look for an independent seal. Momentous says every product is third-party certified by NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport, and if a production run fails, it doesn't ship.

NSF Certified for Sport: tests for 270+ substances banned by major sports organizations, confirms what's on the label is in the bottle, and audits the manufacturing facility.
Informed Sport: run by LGC Group, it tests every batch for 250+ substances on the WADA Prohibited List.

Momentous also posts lot-specific Certificates of Analysis (COAs). Find the lot number on the bottom of your container and look it up on their COA page. I love that.

What I check: Is there a certification logo on the label, and can I verify it?

What stayed in my cabinet

Whey Protein Isolate: 20g grass-fed protein per serving, NSF Certified for Sport. My post-workout and breakfast staple.
Signature Spec Creatine: pure creatine monohydrate, NSF Certified for Sport plus extra screening for heavy metals, PFAS and microplastics. Now in Lemon and Watermelon.
Nightly Sleep: melatonin-free, with 200mg magnesium (as bisglycinate), 200mg L-theanine and 50mg apigenin in 3 capsules. Part of my wind-down.
