The founder
Melanie Avalon didn't set out to build a supplement company.
She set out to get answers. A decade of interviewing hundreds of researchers, physicians and formulators, as host of The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast and co-host of The Intermittent Fasting Podcast, produced a very specific frustration: she knew what a good formula looked like, and she could not buy one. So she made them.

Why AvalonX exists
From primary sources to product.
Melanie's work has always started with the research itself. The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast is ranked in the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide, and The Intermittent Fasting Podcast, which she co-hosts, is ranked in the top 0.1%. Together, the shows have generated millions of downloads and hundreds of conversations with the people running the studies, not the people selling the summaries. Her bestselling book, What When Wine, came from the same instinct: read the mechanism, then decide.
That habit made supplement labels difficult to ignore. A formula would name a studied ingredient and include a fraction of a meaningful amount. A magnesium product would use one cheap form. Some enteric and delayed-release coatings may use plasticizers. AvalonX Serrapeptase 125 uses a delayed-release capsule made without plastic phthalates. Unnecessary excipients were everywhere, and almost never for the customer's benefit.
AvalonX exists to remove those compromises one at a time. Highest-quality ingredients. Tested for purity and potency. No problematic fillers. Amber glass whenever the format allows. Every ingredient is clearly labeled, with detailed ingredient and serving information available before you buy.
“I want customers to have the information they need to evaluate a formula for themselves.”
