Every ingredient earns its spot.

We don't add ingredients because they're trendy. We add them because they work — at doses the research actually supports. Then we put every milligram on the label.

§02 · How We Formulate

Three principles. Zero exceptions.

Every ingredient on every label is filtered through these. If a candidate fails one, it doesn't make it into the bottle.

01 · Principle

Clinically dosed

Every functional ingredient is dosed at the level used in clinical research. Not sprinkled in for the label claim — dosed for the effect.

200mg L-Theanine 500mg Lion's Mane 10g Collagen
02 · Principle

Real ingredients

Real vanilla bean extract, not "natural flavors." Suntheanine, not generic L-Theanine. Fruiting body extract, not mycelium-on-grain. For every ingredient there's a shortcut. We use the real one.

Suntheanine® BC30® D-Biotin
03 · Principle

Full transparency

No proprietary blends. No hidden compounds. Every ingredient and every milligram printed on the label. Read it — you'll recognize everything.

L-Theanine powder in glass dish 01 / Suntheanine 200+ Clinical Studies

Suntheanine® L-Theanine

200 mg

L-Theanine + caffeine is the most studied nootropic pairing in existence. L-Theanine smooths the caffeine curve — you get calm, sustained alertness without the jitters or the crash. Suntheanine is the patented form used in 200+ clinical studies, verified at >98% pure L-isomer.

Not all L-Theanine is created equal. This is the one the research was built on.

>98% pure L-isomer Patented form 200+ trials
Dried lion's mane mushroom 02 / Lion's Mane Fruiting Body · Dual-Extracted

Lion's Mane fruiting body

500 mg

Lion's Mane supports nerve growth factor (NGF) — the protein your brain uses to grow and maintain neurons. Most brands use mycelium-on-grain, which is mostly rice flour with trace amounts of actual mushroom. Ours is dual-extracted fruiting body with >25% beta-glucans.

That means both the water-soluble beta-glucans (immune support) and the ethanol-soluble hericenones and erinacines (the NGF compounds) make it into every serving. The whole story, not half of it.

>25% β-glucans Dual-extracted Hericenones + erinacines
Macro of specialty coffee beans 03 / Cold Brew 67% Less Acid Than Hot Brew

Specialty-grade cold brew

150 mg caffeine

100% Arabica, specialty-grade beans, cold-extracted over 16–24 hours. Cold brewing produces 67% less acid than hot-brewed coffee — naturally smoother, less bitter, easier on your stomach.

Crafted by a third-generation coffee family who chose this work, not fell into it. 150mg of caffeine — about 1.5 cups of regular coffee — paired with L-Theanine so the energy is smooth, not spiky.

Collagen powder with brass scoop 01 / Collagen Full Clinical Dose · Type I & III

Grass-fed collagen peptides

10 g

10 grams of hydrolyzed Type I & III collagen peptides from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine. Type I supports skin elasticity and hydration. Type III supports joints and gut lining. Hydrolyzed to <5,000 Dalton molecular weight for maximum absorption.

Most collagen coffees underdose at 3–5g. We use the full 10g clinical dose — the same amount used in the studies that showed measurable skin improvement in 8–12 weeks.

Grass-fed bovine <5,000 Da hydrolyzed 10,000 mg per pour
Hyaluronic acid powder with gel droplet 02 / Hyaluronic Acid Clinical Dose for Skin Hydration

Hyaluronic acid

120 mg

Your skin already makes hyaluronic acid — it's what holds moisture in. Production declines with age. Oral supplementation at 120mg daily has been shown to improve skin hydration and reduce fine lines in clinical trials.

We pair it with collagen because they work on different layers: collagen provides structural support, HA provides moisture. Together, more effective than either alone.

Biotin in a small dish 03 / Biotin 333% DV · D-Biotin

Biotin (as D-Biotin)

100 mcg

The active form of Vitamin B7, essential for hair, skin, and nail health. 333% of the daily value — meaningful enough to work, conservative enough to be safe.

Not 10,000mcg like the gas station supplements. The dose that supports — not the megadose that makes a label look impressive.

Acacia fiber powder on a cream surface 01 / Acacia Fiber 18% Daily Fiber · Low-Bloat

Acacia fiber

5 g

Prebiotics feed your existing good bacteria. Acacia fiber is the most well-tolerated prebiotic available — dramatically less gas and bloating than inulin or FOS. That matters especially for GLP-1 users dealing with slowed digestion.

5g per serving provides meaningful prebiotic benefit while keeping your gut comfortable, not miserable.

Low-bloat prebiotic GLP-1 friendly 18% daily fiber
BC30 probiotic spore powder in petri dish 02 / BC30 Probiotic Survives Heat & Stomach Acid

BC30® spore probiotic

1 Billion CFU

Most probiotics die before they reach your gut — killed by heat during manufacturing, acid in your stomach, or time on the shelf. BC30 is a spore-forming probiotic. It survives boiling, stomach acid, and 3+ years of shelf life. It activates where it matters — in your intestines.

Backed by 10+ human clinical trials and already used in 900+ food and beverage products. This isn't a trendy strain. It's the proven one.

Spore-forming 3+ yr shelf life Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086
L-Glutamine powder in dark ceramic dish 03 / L-Glutamine Gut Lining Support

L-Glutamine

2 g

The most abundant amino acid in your body, and the primary fuel source for the cells lining your intestines. L-Glutamine supports gut barrier integrity — the tight junctions that keep your digestive system functioning properly.

Especially relevant for anyone experiencing GI stress, whether from medication, diet changes, or just a sensitive stomach.

Free-form amino acid 2,000 mg per pour
Fresh sliced ginger root 04 / Ginger Standardized · Aids Motility

Ginger root extract

250 mg · 5% gingerols

Standardized to 5% gingerols for consistent potency. Ginger aids gastric motility — it helps things move — and has well-documented anti-nausea properties. For GLP-1 users experiencing slowed emptying, ginger is one of the most evidence-backed natural solutions.

Plus it adds a warm, familiar flavor note to the coffee.

5% gingerols Standardized extract Anti-nausea
§06 · The Long Way Around

For every ingredient there's a real version and a shortcut. We use the real one.

Most brands choose the shortcut because it's cheaper. We choose the real one because the label is the first conversation we have with you — and we want it to be honest.
