Daily foundation
This stack is for the everyday side of training: the meals, the rest days, the weeks of turning up. Ichor brings two ingredients for lean muscle and fat metabolism support. Ascension is a steady men's daily formula led by shilajit and tongkat ali. Capsules with food, every day, nothing to mix and no caffeine to count.

Men over 18 who train consistently and want a simple daily routine for lean muscle support, energy and vitality. It suits you if you'd rather take capsules with meals than mix scoops. Women looking for a similar routine can take the Ichor + Elysium Stack.
The stack is $140, compared with $210 for Ichor ($120) and Ascension ($90) bought separately at current prices. That's a $70 saving on a month of Ascension and a tub of Ichor. At the top Ichor dose of 4 a day, you'll need a second Ichor tub to finish the month.
It supports lean muscle development through Ichor's 300mg Cyanotis vaga per capsule, a plant source of ecdysterone studied for its role in muscle protein synthesis. It works alongside resistance training and enough protein, not instead of them. Ascension adds daily energy and vitality support on top.
It supports everyday energy and stamina. Each 4-capsule daily serve has 250mg shilajit and 25mg Asian ginseng, both traditionally used to support energy, plus 100mg tongkat ali, traditionally used to support vitality and physical performance during training. You take it every day with food, not only on training days.
Ichor supports normal fat metabolism alongside a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise. Each capsule has 125mg OEA, a compound your body makes itself, studied for its role in fat metabolism and how full you feel after eating. That makes the stack a good fit for leaner phases.
Neither label lists caffeine or stimulants, so this stack adds nothing to your daily caffeine count. It sits easily alongside your morning coffee or a pre-workout, and you can take your evening capsules with dinner without having to think about your sleep.
Ascension's 120 capsules last 30 days at 4 a day. Ichor's 60 capsules last 30 days at 2 a day, or 15 days at the top men's dose of 4 a day, so at 4 a day you'll need a second tub of Ichor for the month.
Take Ascension as 2 capsules with breakfast and 2 with dinner. Take Ichor, 2 to 4 capsules, with your largest carbohydrate meal. If that meal is breakfast or dinner, take them together. Ascension capsules can be opened and sprinkled onto food.
Inception Labs suggests running Ascension for four weeks in a row, which is one 120-capsule bottle at 4 capsules a day. Pair it with a structured training programme and a high-protein diet, and take Ichor daily alongside it. One bottle is one month, so it's easy to line up with a training block.
Anyone under 18, women, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. If you take medication or manage a medical condition, check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Tested athletes should check with Drug Free Sport NZ, as ecdysterone is on WADA's 2026 Monitoring Programme.
