Get to Know Each Product

🌱 LifePak Elements — The Foundation

LifePak Elements is built specifically to close the most common nutrient gaps in the American diet. With 25 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients — including 100% or more of the Daily Value for 19 essential nutrients — it's the ideal entry point if you've never taken a comprehensive multivitamin before. Its PhytoVantage Blend delivers plant-based antioxidants like elderberry extract, shiitake mushroom and carotenoids to support your body's natural defenses.

How to use: Take three (3) tablets once daily with food and water. Individuals 12–18 years of age should take one (1) tablet daily.

📦 LifePak (Original Formula) — The Classic Sachet

This is the original LifePak formula, delivered as a sachet containing one vitamin capsule, one phytonutrient capsule and two mineral capsules. It supplies more than 20 essential vitamins and minerals and more than 40 antioxidants, including proprietary Tegreen 97. According to its own product FAQ, this formula is recommended for adults 18 to 40 years of age. It's designed to be paired with Marine Omega and G3 for a complete foundation.

How to use: Take one packet twice daily with eight ounces of liquid, with your morning and evening meals.

Note: this formula contains fish (cod, pollack, haddock, hake, cusk, redfish, sole, flounder) and gelatin, so it is not vegetarian.

⭐ LifePak Tablet — The Reformulated Upgrade

LifePak Tablet isn't the same formula as the original LifePak — it's a reformulated, "stepped-up" version delivered in easy-to-swallow mini tablets instead of capsules. Per its own product page, it delivers higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals than Elements, and has been optimized from Elements' PhytoVantage Blend into the expanded PhytoVantage Plus Blend, adding grape seed extract, resveratrol, turmeric, olive fruit and artichoke extracts for higher antioxidant levels and added polyphenols. It's vegetarian friendly and Prysm Level II Certified, guaranteed to raise your Prysm Score.

How to use: Take the contents of one packet daily — either all ten (10) mini tablets at once, or five (5) in the morning and five (5) in the evening, with food and water.

🔬 LifePak Nano — The Most Advanced Delivery

LifePak Nano takes nutrient delivery a step further with patent-pending CR-6 LipoNutrients technology, which uses nanoencapsulation to enhance absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like carotenoids and CoQ10. Each twin sachet includes softgels delivering the same EPA and DHA levels as a serving of Marine Omega, plus more than 60 antioxidants, including Tegreen 97. It's the only LifePak product that includes omega-3s built in.

How to use: Take one twin sachet packet (five capsules and two softgels) with eight ounces of liquid at breakfast, and a second twin sachet packet at dinner.

Note: contains shellfish (krill oil) and gelatin, so it is not vegetarian.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • New to daily supplementation? Start with LifePak Elements.
  • Looking for the original capsule-sachet formula, ages 18-40? The original LifePak is the classic option.
  • Want the upgraded, vegetarian-friendly tablet with more phytonutrients? Choose LifePak Tablet.
  • Want the most advanced formula with built-in omega-3s and nanotechnology? LifePak Nano is the top tier.
Expert tip: If you choose LifePak Elements, the original LifePak, or LifePak Tablet, keep in mind none of these three include omega-3 fatty acids — Pharmanex recommends pairing them with Marine Omega. LifePak Nano is the exception, since it already delivers the same EPA/DHA levels as a serving of Marine Omega.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LifePak Tablet the same product as the original LifePak?

No. LifePak Tablet is a reformulated, upgraded version — delivered in mini tablets instead of capsules, with a stronger PhytoVantage Plus Blend and higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals than the original capsule sachet formula.

Does LifePak Nano replace Marine Omega?

Yes. Each LifePak Nano twin sachet already delivers the same EPA and DHA levels as a serving of Marine Omega, so you don't need to take it separately if you're using Nano.

Are these products vegetarian?

LifePak Elements and LifePak Tablet are vegetarian friendly. The original LifePak (capsule sachet) contains fish, and LifePak Nano contains shellfish (krill oil) and gelatin — neither is vegetarian.

Can I take these if I'm pregnant or nursing?

Always consult your physician before starting any of these supplements if you're pregnant, lactating, or taking prescription medication.

What is the Prysm iO™ score?

It's a non-invasive measurement that reflects your antioxidant status, showing that the carotenoids in your supplement are being absorbed and are available to support your skin and overall health.
