Built on what science says about fighters.
Each article revolves around one question: what does a fighter's body truly need? No general health tips — research focused on weight cuts, fight weeks, and recovery between training sessions.
Why a weight cut depletes your minerals
Recovery
What rapid dehydration does to your magnesium, zinc, and electrolytes — and how to recover quickly after a weight cut. Fighters who regularly make weight lose more than just water: essential minerals for muscle function and recovery are also lost.

Immunity
Heavy training blocks temporarily suppress your immune system — a known phenomenon among intensively training athletes. This is the micronutrient side of staying healthy during fight camp: which substances help your immune system stay upright when the training load is highest.
Vitamin D and combat sports performance
Performance
Why your D3 status quietly determines your strength, bone density, and recovery — especially for athletes who train indoors a lot and get little sunlight. A deficiency often goes unnoticed, while it affects muscle function and bone health.
SHIDŌ Foundation was developed by pharmacists with a background in combat sports, based on this kind of research — translated into nine active ingredients at clinical dosages.
