L-LYSINE
L-LYSINE is an essential amino acid — your body needs it but can't produce it, so it has to come from your diet. It plays a supporting role in normal immune function.
ZINC
Zinc is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes in the body, including normal immune system function. It's one of the most well-studied nutrients for everyday immune support.

VITAMIN D3
Vitamin D Vitamin D supports several important functions, including normal calcium absorption, bone health, and immune function. Many people don't get enough through sunlight alone, especially in the colder months — this blend provides 100% of the recommended daily value in every 16oz cup.
L-THEANINE is the amino acid behind our Cognition Blend, valued for its calming, focus-supporting effects. Paired with caffeine, it's known for helping take the edge off jitters while supporting a steady, balanced feeling.
