Our story

Why Complex?

We started with a simple idea - to combine elite athletic performance and modern science into supplements that actually work. We founded Complex in Prague in 2023 (Sebastian Rod, Filip Langer, and Honza Tobiška) because we were tired of a market full of compromises, confusing jargon, and empty promises.

Our goal is to deliver uncompromising quality with science-backed formulations for anyone who wants to push their limits — from elite athletes and entrepreneurs to everyone who wants to live life to the fullest.

Product Development

We were looking for supplements we could truly trust, but none of them convinced us. So we made our own. From day one, we’ve built Complex on what actually makes sense: top-tier quality, science-backed formulas, and an approach that isn’t just marketing - it genuinely works.

We create every product with one goal: to help you feel better, look better, and perform better. Today, our supplements are used by professional athletes, entrepreneurs, students, and anyone who wants to get the most out of themselves.

Our development process

Research

Step 1: Research & brief

Every product starts with the “why”: the real problem we’re solving and the result you should notice. We define the use case (training, recovery, sleep, focus), set clear expectations, and build a benefit map that’s realistic and compliant - so the product earns trust through consistency, not hype.

Formulation

Step 2: Formulation & sourcing

We select evidence-backed ingredients in forms that make sense, then design doses around real-world use (timing, serving size, tolerance). In parallel, we validate sourcing and specs - because a great formula is only as good as the quality and repeatability behind it.

Sampling

Step 3: Sampling & testing

We run multiple sample rounds and refine what actually impacts your experience: dosing feel, mixability, taste/texture, and tolerability. We iterate until it’s not just “effective on paper,” but something you can take daily without friction.

Quality

Step 4: Quality control

Before production, we review label text, specifications, and documentation to ensure everything is accurate, transparent, and defensible. No vague claims - just clear information you can rely on.

Launch

Step 5: Launch-ready

Only after final checks do we approve a full batch. The product is manufactured to spec, verified through QC, and released only when it matches what we signed off on.

Iteration

Step 6: Constant Iteration

Launch is feedback. We track reviews and real usage, then make steady improvements - better taste, cleaner dosing, clearer instructions, tighter specs - while keeping the product consistent and reliable over time.

Our Founders

Sebastian Rod - CEO

Sebastian Rod is the co-founder and CEO of Complex. From day one, he has led the brand’s strategy, growth, and overall direction. He started building businesses while still in university, launching several projects that generated revenues in the millions of CZK. Those early wins gave him the foundation to build Complex into a brand that, in a short time, has become trusted by professional athletes, entrepreneurs, and students alike.

Sebastian grew up as a competitive athlete, and floorball taught him discipline, competitiveness, and a drive to push his limits. He brings those same traits into how he leads the company: a focus on performance, long-term thinking, and an unrelenting commitment to staying one step ahead.

His vision is to build Complex into the biggest supplement brand in the world.

Filip Langer - Logistics Manager

Filip Langer is a professional floorball player competing in Sweden’s top league (SSL) and a member of the Czech national team. Alongside co-founding Complex, he connects elite sport with the world of business. His goal is for the brand to be a partner for anyone who wants to become the best version of themselves.

On the field and beyond, he builds on discipline, science-backed strategies, and authenticity. At Complex, he oversees logistics and, as a content creator, inspires a broad audience — from professional athletes to anyone looking to take their performance to the next level.

Honza Tobiška - CPO

Honza Tobiška is the co-founder and Product Manager at Complex. He’s also a respected science-based lifestyle coach who works with elite athletes from the NHL, the Premier League, the Bundesliga, and the top Czech league.

As the youngest member of the renowned STACA institute, he provides comprehensive guidance in nutrition, sleep, supplementation, and recovery.
