PRODUCT LABEL

Core Nutritionals HARD

HARD is a stimulant-free recomposition formula aimed at a very specific person: someone whose training and nutrition are already dialled in, who is already lean, and who is chasing the last bit of definition rather than the first twenty pounds.

Three capsules per serving, 28 servings per bottle, and roughly 1,700mg of disclosed active ingredients. No stimulants and no proprietary blend.

Let us be direct about what this is not

HARD is not a fat burner. It contains no stimulants, no thermogenics, and nothing that will create a caloric deficit for you. If you are carrying meaningful body fat and looking for a product to move the needle, this is the wrong purchase and we will tell you so at the counter.

It is a finishing product. It exists for the phase where the diet is already right, the training is already right, and you are working on refinement. Your own note calls it the finishing touches, and that is exactly the right frame.

If your nutrition is not locked in, no capsule in this category will compensate. That is not a disclaimer, it is the single most useful thing we can tell you about it.

The full disclosure label

This is Core Nutritionals' signature and it deserves calling out. Every ingredient in HARD is listed with its individual dose. No proprietary blend, no hiding a token amount of the expensive ingredient behind a blend total.

In the recomposition category, where proprietary blends are close to universal, that transparency is genuinely uncommon. You can evaluate this product against the research yourself, which is not true of most of its competitors.

What is in it

KSM-66 Ashwagandha, 600mg — a standardised, branded ashwagandha extract. Ashwagandha is among the better-researched adaptogenic herbs, most commonly studied in relation to stress and cortisol response, and 600mg is a dose consistent with the published work rather than a token amount
L-Theanine, 300mg — the amino acid from tea leaves associated with a calm, focused state. A substantial dose, and the reason people describe this product as feeling composed rather than stimulated
Phosphatidylserine, 500mg — a phospholipid component of cell membranes, studied in the context of exercise stress and cortisol response
DIM (Diindolylmethane), 200mg — a compound formed when the body digests cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage, studied in relation to estrogen metabolism
5-Etioallocholen-3b,7b,17b-Triol — an etiocholane derivative included for the recomposition side of the formula

Honest framing on the evidence: ashwagandha and theanine are the best-supported ingredients here, with a real body of published work behind them. The recomposition-specific compounds are mechanistically interesting but the evidence base is thinner and still developing. We would rather say that than imply every ingredient carries equal support.
