About Valenco

Two founders. One stack.

We started Valenco because the supplement industry is the only consumer category where 'trust me' is the default. Every product publishes its assay. Every label lists exact doses.

From the founders

Two founders tired of "trust me" labels.

Founder

Ronin Stern

Seven years training in the gym and reading every supplement label that landed on his bench. Tried every brand on the shelf and could not find one that stayed consistent batch to batch, dose to dose. Founded Valen Research first to bring clinical peptide reference standards to the lab market. Built Valenco for the same reason on the daily side: every dose disclosed, every batch publishes its assay, every label written by the chemistry, not the marketing department.

Co-founder · Athlete

Jake Wacha

D1 wrestler at Columbia University in New York. Got tired of off-the-shelf preworkout doing nothing and his recovery flatlining four days into a heavy training block. Started measuring everything (sleep score, HRV, the actual milligrams listed on every bottle) and realized most supplements were dosed for the marketing department, not the athlete using them. Valenco is the version we'd take, dosed for the data.

We started Valenco because the supplement industry is the only consumer category where "trust me" is the default. Every product publishes its assay. Every label lists exact doses. We launch with the Daily Stack because that's what we actually take every morning. No proprietary blends. No marketing-driven SKUs. Just the answer to "what's in this?" that we wanted as customers.

Field Notes · Monthly journal

A long read once a month.

Different from the launch waitlist. One essay per month: research breakdowns, training context, why we picked one ingredient over another, what we just rejected from the lineup and why.

No daily drops. No "subscribe for 10% off" pop-up. Just the writing we'd want to read ourselves.
