Science Story™ — Consumer Testing

Tested before you spend.


Before your brand commits to a campaign, real people read the stories and tell you which one moves them, which headline grabs them and which claims they believe.


Step 1 · Who We Test With

It starts with the right people.

Every project is different. At kickoff we work with your brand team to decide who the test should reach and how to run it, so the people reading your stories are the people you sell to.

25 to 55

Sample
300 people, about 100 per concept

Step 2 · Three Concepts

The stories go in once they’re ready.

Testing starts after your team has seen the Science Story™ concepts and given feedback. Three go into the test, each one complete: the headline, the full story and the claims behind it.

The claims behind it
  • Not every form of magnesium is absorbed the same way.
  • In studies, glycinate was absorbed 2.7× better than oxide at the same dose.
  • Supports muscle relaxation and a calm wind-down.*
Headline

It’s not how much magnesium. It’s how much gets in.

Science Story™

It’s 10:40. You took your magnesium an hour ago, just like the bottle said. You’re still awake, and you’re starting to wonder if it does anything at all.

Here’s what the bottle never mentions. The milligrams on the label tell you how much magnesium is in the capsule. They don’t tell you how much of it your body takes in. And not every form of magnesium is absorbed the same way.

Most magnesium on the shelf is magnesium oxide. Lullwell is built on magnesium glycinate, a form that in studies was absorbed 2.7 times better than oxide at the same dose. More of what you take, actually put to work, supporting relaxed muscles and a calm wind-down.*

Same milligrams. Not the same magnesium. Lullwell™ Magnesium Night.
