TARE — Policies

The fine print, plainly.

Who you're buying from

TARE is a brand of Frontier Visions LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company.
30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan WY 82801, United States.
support@taketare.com

That is who takes your money, holds your email address, answers your support message and issues your refund. A brand whose whole argument is that you can check its numbers does not get to be anonymous about who is selling them to you.

What the label says, which is not the same thing. Our products are made, packed and shipped by Rocktomic Labs, LLC, and their label carries the distributor of record: Distributed For: Rocktomic Labs, LLC, 1615 Lakes Pkwy Suite C, Lawrenceville GA 30043. So the address on the jar in your hand is in Georgia and the company you bought from is in Wyoming. Those are two different companies doing two different jobs — Rocktomic makes and fulfils, Frontier Visions sells and stands behind it — and we would rather set that out here than have you find a name you don't recognise on a panel you're reading precisely because you check things.

How they're made and tested

Three formulas: Under Load (collagen), Base Work (creatine monohydrate) and Night Work (magnesium glycinate). They are made, packed and shipped for us by Rocktomic Labs, LLC. Every figure from every certificate of analysis is transcribed row by row on Testing & Certification rather than summarised by us — each with the lot number on it, and, where a certificate reports a measured result, the method and the specification printed beside it.

Who ran the test, which matters more than that one was run. The certificates held for Base Work and Night Work were issued by Ethos Analytics Laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona — an outside laboratory with no hand in making either product — but each was run for the ingredient supplier against raw material rather than against a finished TARE container, and the magnesium document covers a raw-material powder lot tested for microbiology only: it carries no identity, potency or heavy-metal result, so it cannot vouch for what is in the capsule. Under Load was analysed by ViaCore Nutrition in El Reno, Oklahoma, which is the manufacturer's own laboratory. That is a weaker check than the other two, and you should hear it from us rather than work it out from an address. We publish the collagen figures anyway, and we print whose lab produced them next to the numbers, every time.

What the certificates measured. Base Work's creatine monohydrate assayed at 99.87% against a specification of greater than 99.5%, by HPLC. Under Load's protein came in at 9.8 g per 10 g serving against a 9 g specification, by ISO 14891, and its lead at 0.07 mcg against a Proposition 65 limit of 0.5 mcg, with mercury, arsenic and cadmium below the detectable limit. Night Work's certificate reports no elemental magnesium figure at all. The document covering the lot in the capsule is a microbiological screen: it carries no identity result, no potency section and no heavy-metal figures, so there is no measured magnesium number to withhold and none will be printed. That absence is what the Lot Mark of one of four records.

What we hold, precisely: no certification at all. TARE holds no third-party certification — not NSF, not Informed Sport, not USP — and there is no facility badge anywhere on this site. Any facility certification you saw here before belonged to a manufacturer we no longer use, and it came down the day we changed suppliers rather than being quietly re-pointed at the new one. If a certification letter arrives for the facility our products are now made in, it will appear here with the certifying body, the standard and the expiry date printed separately, and it will come off the day it lapses. A badge is not a document. We would rather show you the documents.

What this is not. A certificate of analysis names the lot it was run on — ours name 121125450 for Under Load and CM20251225A for Base Work — but that is not a lot number traced to the individual jar you received. TARE is fulfilled by a contract manufacturer and never takes possession of inventory, so we cannot connect the lot on the published document to the jar in your hands, we cannot offer per-lot traceability, and we do not claim it.

The line got shorter, and that is worth a paragraph rather than a redirect. Four formulas went into the audit of our old supplier's paperwork and two did not come out of it: a colostrum for which no immunoglobulin assay exists on any lot from either supplier, and a shilajit with no certificate of analysis at all. A third, an electrolyte drink, was retired as it stood, because there is no certified electrolyte formula for us to build it from — its creatine half survives on its own as Base Work. Every figure those three carried has come off this site rather than being left up until somebody noticed. A shorter line we can document beats a longer one we cannot, and we would rather tell you that than quietly redirect the old pages.

What we will and will not say about testing. The category leans hard on two phrases: that a product is "third-party tested," and that it comes from an "FDA-registered facility." We do not use the second one at all. It appears in none of our documents, and FDA registration would not be FDA approval in any case — no dietary supplement is FDA approved, ours included. The first phrase we will use only with the count attached to it, because a bare version of it would be doing work our documents don't support: one of our three certificates names the lot inside the container we ship, so what we print is one of three. The other two were run by an outside laboratory and we are glad of it, but each covers raw material bought by the ingredient supplier rather than a finished TARE jar. We are not going to borrow the creatine's laboratory to vouch for the collagen.

Current status — the store is open, and the first boxes are not packed yet

The store is open. Every buy link on taketare.com goes to that product's page on our Shopify storefront, and one-time orders are being taken. The shipping, refund and subscription terms below describe how the store operates rather than how it intends to. Subscriptions are the one part that has not started: no selling plan exists yet, so every rung is sold once, at the printed price. The reason for the wait is the kind of detail a store usually leaves for the confirmation email, so it is here instead: our printed labels are still with the manufacturer's regulatory reviewer. Until that clears there is nothing to pack, and the delivery windows further down this page start from the day the store opens rather than the day you read this. We will email you the date as soon as we have it, and if that is not what you signed up for, say so and we will refund you before anything ships — not as a concession, just as the obvious thing to do when the wait turns out longer than you were told.

Shipping & Returns

How long it takes, both halves of it. Two numbers decide when a box reaches you, and most stores publish only the second. The first is ours: an order placed before 2pm EST on a business day is packed and handed to the carrier within 1–2 business days; an order placed after the cut-off starts its clock the next business day. The second is the carrier's. Here is the whole of it, our half included rather than left off the end:

Business days are Monday to Friday and exclude public holidays. Every one of those figures runs from the order to the door, so you do not have to add our packing time onto a transit estimate to work out what you were actually told.

A delivery window is a claim like any other claim on this site, and it gets treated the same way. We print the range rather than the good end of it, because "5 to 9" honestly reported is not "about a week", and a delivery estimate with the slow half removed is the same move as a certificate with the failing row removed — smaller, and cheaper for us, and still the same move. If a box misses its window, email us. We would rather hear about it than have you conclude that's simply how it goes. You'll receive tracking by email when your order ships.

What shipping costs you: $7.95, on every order. One flat rate, one jar or three, one-time or subscribed, and no order value above which it disappears. The old rate card and the free-shipping threshold that used to sit in this paragraph belonged to our previous fulfilment partner and went when the partner did; this replaces them.

The paragraph that used to be here promised we would never charge you more for shipping than it costs us to ship, and a flat rate cannot honestly carry that promise, so it is not being quietly kept. A jar of Night Work weighs five ounces and a tub of Under Load weighs thirty; at $7.95 we are under our cost on the heavy one and over it on the light one. The alternative was billing you a different number for each box by weight, which is more precisely fair and, in our experience of being a customer, mostly just means you cannot tell what an order will cost until the last screen. We picked the number we can leave printed on the page. If the real cost of moving these boxes turns out to sit somewhere other than where we have put it, this figure moves and this paragraph will say that it moved.

Where we ship. The countries we ship to, and where we stand on PO boxes, are set at checkout. The restrictions this paragraph used to carry — US only, no PO boxes, nothing to Alaska or Hawaii — were our previous fulfilment partner's limits, not ours, and we are not going to leave another company's constraints up as though they were still true.

New York. We don't ship Base Work to New York addresses, or any bundle that contains it. New York General Business Law §391-oo makes creatine-containing supplements an 18+ product there, and it requires anyone shipping one into the state to use a delivery method where an adult signs for the box and shows government-issued photo ID at the door. Our fulfilment goes out as standard parcel, which is not that, so rather than take an order we can't deliver the way the law requires, we don't sell it in New York. Under Load and Night Work ship to New York normally — neither contains creatine. If an adult-signature service becomes available to us, this paragraph goes away and Base Work goes on sale there the same day.

The Standard Guarantee: within 30 days of delivery, if you're not satisfied, email us and we'll issue a full refund of the purchase price. No forms, no phone call, no return shipment. There are exactly three limits on it and these are all of them: the 30 days, once per product per customer, and the refund is of the purchase price — any shipping you paid is not part of it. It's a guarantee, not a rolling discount. Nothing about it changed when we changed manufacturers, and nothing about it is going to.

One thing that happens on our side, which is not your problem. When we refund you, the money goes back to the card you paid with — the actual amount, not a voucher. Our manufacturer does not settle with us that way: where an order is wrong or damaged, they issue a credit against our account rather than returning money to us. That is a term between them and us and it is ours to absorb. It does not become a store credit for you, it does not become a restocking fee, it does not become a return you have to package and ship, and it does not become a refund window shorter than the 30 days above. If you ever find a supplier's terms wearing our name, we have made a mistake and we want to be told.

If the box is damaged, late or missing. Email us with the order number. We'll replace it or refund it — that decision is yours, not ours — and we won't ask you to open a claim with the carrier on our behalf. The freight is our contract, not yours.

Subscriptions. Cancel, pause, skip, change your delivery date, and change your payment method are all self-service, effective immediately, with no phone call and no retention gauntlet. Cancelling stops all future charges; it does not refund a shipment already sent, which is what the guarantee above is for. The full renewal terms are in the next section.

Subscribe & Save — the auto-renewal terms

What renews, and for how much. Subscribe & Save is a standing order: one amount, one interval, one shipment each time, until you cancel. The amounts are $62 for Under Load, $42 for Base Work, $46 for Night Work, $93 for The Two and $132 for The Standard — printed here and beside each rung on the home page. No selling plan exists in Shopify yet, so they are committed figures rather than options you can start today. The ones that used to be here were built on our previous manufacturer's cost card, and rather than carry them across and hope they still held, we took them down. They are printed the way the old ones were: per product, with the one-time price beside the subscribed price and the arithmetic between them shown, rather than a percentage with the word "up to" in front of it.

The terms sit next to the button, not behind a link. The amount, how often it recurs, the date of the first charge, and the fact that it continues until you cancel are printed beside the control you press to agree to it — not behind a "terms" link, not below the fold, not in an email that arrives after your card has already been charged, and not in smaller type than the price. California's Automatic Renewal Law (Business and Professions Code §17600 and following) requires that of anyone selling a subscription to a Californian. We do it for everybody, because the reason for the rule does not stop at the state line: the complaint that gets filed is almost never "they charged me the wrong amount", it is "I never understood I was agreeing to this at all".

How you agree to it. The box confirming you agree to be billed again is not pre-ticked. You tick it yourself, next to the amount and the interval, before any payment field appears. Choosing a subscription plan and consenting to be charged on a schedule are two different acts, and we do not let one stand in for the other. Your consent is recorded against the order with a timestamp, the amount and the interval, and we email you a copy of the terms you can keep and check us against.

What is pre-selected, and what is not. The subscription option is pre-selected on the pricing cards, because it costs less than buying the same thing once. That is a default, and a default is not consent. The tick box above is the consent, and it is empty until you fill it in. Nobody has bought anything yet, so we are not going to tell you what most people choose.

No forced continuity. No minimum term, no commitment period, no cancellation fee. No trial period that turns into a charge. No shipment that obliges the next one. No automatic upgrade to a larger size, a shorter interval or a bigger bundle, and nothing added to your order that you did not choose. There is no version of this where the way to stop paying us is to remember to do something by a date we picked.

The price does not change on renewal. The amount you pay in month twelve is the amount you paid in month one. There is no introductory rate, no step-up, no shipping charge added later, and no price we hold back until you're enrolled. If we ever change a subscription price, we will email you before the change takes effect and you can cancel in one step.

How you stop it. Two ways, and both work: the cancel button in your account, which is one click, takes effect immediately and asks you nothing on the way out; or one email to support@taketare.com. Not a phone call, not a form, not a retention script, not a chat queue, and not a window you have to write to us inside of. If you signed up online you can cancel online — always. The cancel control is visible on every screen of that flow, including any screen that happens to carry an offer; declining an offer takes you to cancel, not to another offer.

Notice before each charge. We email you before every renewal, with the amount, the date, and a cancel link. Monthly plans don't legally require that notice. We send it anyway.

Where this stands today. See Current status above for what is open and what is not. One-time orders are live; subscriptions are not.

Privacy Policy

Last updated 17 August 2026. This policy describes what the site does today, not what it will do when checkout opens. The paragraph about orders is written in the future tense because no order has ever been placed.

What we collect right now. One thing: the email address you type into the reservation form, plus which product you were looking at when you typed it. That is the whole of it. There is no account to create, no password, no name field, no address field, and that form charges nothing, so it creates no payment record of its own. If you have not typed an email into that form, we hold nothing that identifies you.

What your browser stores. If you arrive from a link carrying campaign tags — utm_source, utm_campaign and their siblings, or a fbclid from an ad — we keep those in your browser's own session storage so that a reservation can be attributed to the link that produced it. They are cleared when you close the tab. We do not use cookies of our own for any purpose.

Who else touches it. Four companies, and it is worth naming all four rather than saying "service providers":

The evidence pages — Testing & Certification, the Lot Marks and every Journal article — carry no pixel at all, deliberately. A page whose argument is "we tell you what we are doing" should not be the page that quietly loads someone else's script to watch you read it.

Turning the advertising pixel off. The button below stores your choice in this browser and the pixel then never loads — not the script, not a beacon, nothing. We also honour Global Privacy Control: if your browser or extension sends that signal, the pixel is already off and you need not press anything. There is no cookie banner on this site because there is nothing to consent to except this one thing, and a banner that interrupts everyone to ask about it would be theatre.

Checking this browser’s setting…

What we do with your email. Exactly two messages: one when your jar is ready, one when the certificate publishes. Then the list ends. If checkout opens and you buy something, we will use it for order updates, and for product announcements only if you separately opt in — unsubscribe is one click and it works on the first click. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.

Getting it back, or getting rid of it. Email support@taketare.com and ask. We will tell you everything we hold about you, or delete it, within 30 days, and in practice within one business day because the list is short enough to search by hand. Deletion means the record leaves Netlify's form store — we do not keep a shadow copy. You do not need an account, a form, or a reason, and asking costs you nothing.

Artificial intelligence. We do not use AI to process your personal information, and there is no chatbot on this site. AI was used as a writing and engineering tool in building these pages, which is a different thing and does not touch your data.

Children. These are supplements for adults. The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Questions about any of this go to the same address, and a person answers.

Terms of Service

By purchasing from TARE you agree to these terms. Products are dietary supplements for adults 18+, intended for use as labeled. Statements on this site have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration; products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a physician before use if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition, or take medication.

What's in them. Under Load is bovine collagen, Type I and III, one ingredient, unflavoured. Base Work is creatine monohydrate, one ingredient, unflavoured. Night Work is magnesium glycinate in a capsule. The full ingredient statement for each is on its own label, and the label is the document that governs.

Where this site and the label differ, and why. Under Load's Supplement Facts panel states a 10 g serving — two 5 g scoops, 35 servings to the tub. The protocol we describe on this site is 15 g, three scoops, taken 30 to 60 minutes before training on training days, which is a larger dose than the panel's serving and gets 23 uses out of a tub rather than 35. That is deliberate, and it is the dose the research used rather than one we rounded up: the trial behind it compared 5 g against 15 g an hour before loading, and the larger dose roughly doubled a marker of collagen synthesis in the blood. Read the limits with the number, because they are the whole of what is known — eight healthy men, one blood marker, not a tendon. Thirty grams produced nothing beyond fifteen. The 2026 JFMK systematic review grades the evidence strong — GRADE A — against an effect on muscle strength, and the 2024 Sports Medicine meta-analysis that did find an effect measured it at SMD 0.19 — trivially small, and low-certainty by its authors' own rating. No trial shows a reduced injury rate, and we do not claim one. Take it with 50 to 100 mg of vitamin C. The label states what the tub contains; this site states how we use it; neither is permitted to contradict the other.

Magnesium, if you are stacking. Night Work supplies 275 mg of elemental magnesium per three-capsule serving. It is the only supplemental magnesium in this line — nothing else we sell contains any — so taking all three products leaves 75 mg of headroom under the 350 mg tolerable upper intake level for supplemental magnesium. Treat that headroom as already spoken for: a multivitamin, a greens powder or an electrolyte drink can use it up on its own, and none of them will tell you it did. Count what you already take before you add ours, and talk to a physician first if you are already supplementing magnesium.

Prices and availability may change. Disputes are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming. Our liability is limited to the purchase price of the product.

The Recovery Journal

Our citation library — the published research behind what we sell, summarised honestly — is live at The Recovery Journal. If a study is weak, we'll say it's weak. That's the whole point.
