PurCaf® Natural and Organic Caffeine (150 milligrams per serving)
Caffeine is a naturally occurring substance found in many plants native to Africa, East Asia, and South America, including various kinds of tea, cocoa, and coffee.
PurCaf® is an organic, patented form of caffeine extracted from non-GMO green coffee beans using a proprietary clean-water process.
Naturally derived caffeine tastes significantly better than its synthetic counterpart, and anecdotally, many people report that it provides a "smoother" boost of energy, possibly due to beneficial compounds like chlorogenic acids and antioxidants found in natural caffeine but absent in synthetic versions.
Caffeine’s primary effects in the body are to stimulate the central nervous system and block the activity of another chemical—adenosine—that causes tiredness.
Suntheanine® L-Theanine (150 milligrams per serving)
L-theanine is an amino acid found primarily in tea that helps balance the levels of two chemicals in the brain—glutamate and GABA—that transmit nerve impulses and affect mood, cognitive performance, and more.
Suntheanine® is a patented form of L-theanine that’s the most clinically proven form on the market, with over 200 peer-reviewed studies supporting its efficacy.
Cognizin® Citicoline (250 milligrams per serving)
Citicoline is a chemical that occurs naturally in the brain and increases levels of another chemical called phosphatidylcholine, which is vital for brain health and function.
Citicoline can also increase levels of a neurotransmitter known as acetylcholine, which is involved in learning and muscular contraction.
Cognizin® is a patented form of citicoline that’s the only form studied in healthy adults and supported by 16 years of clinical research.
Taurine (2,000 milligrams per serving)
Taurine is an amino acid found primarily in seafood and meat that, unlike most amino acids, isn’t used to build proteins.
Rather, it plays an important role in cardiovascular and muscle function by protecting cells from oxidative stress and regulating the release of neurotransmitters.
B Vitamin Complex (27.4 milligrams per serving)
B vitamins are a category of naturally-occurring substances that cells need to turn food into energy. They also affect mood, feelings of wellness, and brain, nerve, and cardiovascular function.
Although B vitamins don’t directly increase energy levels in the same way as a stimulant like caffeine, many people report feeling more energized when supplementing with B vitamins. This is likely because B vitamins are required for many bodily processes that influence energy production, and thus, by increasing the availability of B vitamins, such processes can function more effectively.
