About Protocol 01

What is Seollae Protocol 01?

Seollae Protocol 01 is a daily drink mix for muscle and metabolic support, made with five clinically studied ingredients: myHMB®, creatine monohydrate, prebiotic fiber (PHGG), ginger extract and vitamin B12. Mix one packet into water each morning, and that's your whole routine. It's the first step in Seollae's precision K-wellness system, developed in Seoul.

Who is Seollae Protocol 01 for?

Seollae Protocol 01 is for adults who want to support their muscle health, digestion and energy every day, especially people in midlife, people eating less, and people on a GLP-1. You don't need to be an athlete, but pairing it with regular movement, especially strength training, helps you get the most out of it.

Does Protocol 01 replace protein powder or a multivitamin?

No, Seollae Protocol 01 works alongside protein and multivitamins rather than replacing them. Protein gives your body the building blocks for muscle, and Protocol 01 adds targeted support with ingredients most protein powders and multivitamins don't include, like myHMB® and PHGG.

When will I notice a difference with Protocol 01?

You may notice digestive support within the first week of taking Seollae Protocol 01, with a fuller effect after about 30 days of daily use. Creatine takes about 3–4 weeks to fully build up in your muscles, and myHMB® works best with consistent daily use. Everyone's timeline is a little different.

Ingredients

What ingredients are in Seollae Protocol 01?

Seollae Protocol 01 contains five ingredients, each at a meaningful dose: myHMB® supports muscle health, creatine monohydrate supports strength and exercise performance, a prebiotic fiber blend with PHGG supports gut health and regularity, ginger extract standardized to 5% gingerols supports digestive comfort, and vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism. We left out filler ingredients so the five that matter can each get a full dose, and we choose branded, standardized and third-party tested ingredients wherever possible.

What is HMB?

HMB (β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate) is a compound your body makes in small amounts from leucine, an amino acid found in protein. It supports muscle health and helps reduce muscle protein breakdown. Seollae Protocol 01 uses myHMB®, a patented, clinically studied form of HMB.

What's the difference between HMB and leucine?

HMB is a compound your body makes from leucine, but only about 5% of the leucine you eat is converted into HMB. That means it's hard to get meaningful amounts of HMB from food alone. Taking HMB directly, as in Seollae Protocol 01, provides it at a studied dose.

Does HMB work if you don't lift weights?

Yes, HMB supports muscle health whether or not you lift weights. It has been studied in active people and in less active adults. Pairing it with strength training gives you the most benefit.

Can you take HMB and creatine together?

Yes, you can take HMB and creatine together. They work in different ways: HMB helps reduce muscle protein breakdown, while creatine supports strength and power during exercise. Seollae Protocol 01 combines both in one daily packet.

Is creatine monohydrate the best form of creatine?

Creatine monohydrate is the most researched form of creatine, and no other form has been shown to work better. That's why Seollae Protocol 01 uses creatine monohydrate.

What is PHGG?

PHGG (partially hydrolyzed guar gum) is a gentle prebiotic fiber that comes from guar beans. It supports gut health and digestive regularity and dissolves easily in water. Seollae Protocol 01 combines it with indigestible maltodextrin in a prebiotic fiber blend.

Why is ginger in Protocol 01?

Ginger is in Seollae Protocol 01 to support digestive comfort. It's standardized to 5% gingerols, the active compounds in ginger, so every batch has a consistent amount.

GLP-1 and Eating Less

What supplements help support muscle health on a GLP-1?

On a GLP-1, the foundation for supporting muscle health is eating enough protein and doing regular strength training. Ingredients like HMB and creatine can add support, and fiber can help with digestion while you're eating less. Seollae Protocol 01 combines HMB, creatine and prebiotic fiber in one daily packet. Talk to your healthcare provider before adding any supplement.

Can you take Protocol 01 with a GLP-1?

Yes, you can take Seollae Protocol 01 with a GLP-1. It was designed with GLP-1 users in mind: when you eat less, your muscles and digestion need more support, and the formula covers both. It doesn't replace medical care, so talk to your healthcare provider about adding any supplement.

Can you take Protocol 01 while dieting?

Yes, you can take Seollae Protocol 01 while dieting. It's designed to support your muscles, digestion and energy when you're eating less. It's not a weight-loss product, and it works best alongside enough daily protein and regular movement.

Does creatine cause bloating or weight gain?

Creatine doesn't add body fat, but some people see the scale go up slightly in the first few weeks. That's creatine drawing water into your muscles, which is a normal part of how it works. Seollae Protocol 01 uses a modest daily dose with no loading phase.

How to Take

How do you take Protocol 01?

To take Seollae Protocol 01, mix one packet into 8–10 fl. oz. of water and drink it once a day. Many people take it in the morning. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is a good habit while taking creatine.

Can you take two packets of Protocol 01 a day?

Yes, you can take two packets of Seollae Protocol 01 a day. Two packets provide the clinically studied dose of myHMB®. You can also follow your healthcare professional's advice.

What if I miss a day of Protocol 01?

If you miss a day of Seollae Protocol 01, just take your next packet the following day. Don't double up. Consistency over weeks matters more than any single day.

Why is Protocol 01 a powder instead of pills?

Seollae Protocol 01 is a powder because it gets full doses of all five ingredients into one drink. Getting the same amounts from pills would take several large capsules.

Safety

How much creatine should women take?

Most research supports 3–5g of creatine a day for healthy adults, including women. If you have kidney concerns or a medical condition, check with your doctor first.

Is creatine safe for women?

Yes, creatine is one of the most researched supplements and is generally well tolerated by healthy adults, including women. Seollae Protocol 01 uses a modest, well-studied daily amount. If you have kidney concerns or a medical condition, check with your doctor first.

Does Protocol 01 have side effects?

Most people tolerate Seollae Protocol 01 well. When you're new to fiber, you may notice mild digestive changes in the first few days while your body adjusts. If you have any concerns, stop taking it and talk to your healthcare provider.

Can you take Protocol 01 while pregnant or nursing?

If you're pregnant or nursing, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Seollae Protocol 01 or any supplement.

Can you take Protocol 01 with medications?

If you take prescription medication or have a medical condition, check with your healthcare provider before adding Seollae Protocol 01.
