L-Theanine
L- Theanine is the main ingredient in all of our coffees due to its focus amplifying effects. This nootropic amino acid works synergistically with caffeine to counter the jitters and crash. It creates a calming, stabilizing effect on the brain and mood. Many studies support that combining theanine and caffeine improves cognitive performance and provides sustained energy.
Essential Amino Acids
Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins and neurotransmitters. Essential amino acids are the ones your body can't produce on its own, so they have to come from your diet. We use a blend of 9 essential amino acids in a balanced ratio to support normal energy levels and everyday physical function.
Cinnamon Bark
Cinnamon is a bark that tastes great in coffee and is loaded with antioxidants, with natural anti-inflammatory properties. It's a flavorful, functional pairing for coffee.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, is an essential vitamin your body can't produce on its own. It supports normal energy metabolism, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function.
