Powered by paraxanthine, a clean energy source. Paraxanthine is the primary compound your body produces when metabolizing caffeine. It works directly in the way your body already understands to support energy, mood, mental focus, and even weight management.*
Paraxanthine offers a smooth experience with fewer unwanted effects like jitters or crashes. It has a shorter half-life than caffeine, meaning it clears from the body more quickly, making it ideal for an afternoon boost, and because it’s already active, you’ll feel the benefits faster.*
Vitamins B6 and B12 help support energy production by assisting in the conversion of food into cellular energy and supporting normal brain and nervous system function.*
Using their methylated forms, methylcobalamin (B12) and pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (B6), means these nutrients are already in active forms, so your body can use them more readily without needing additional conversion.*
This is more than just an energy drink. It has added nootropics like citicoline, organic lion’s mane, and l-theanine, and adaptogens organic maca root, organic cordyceps, and ginseng to help support mood, mental clarity, endurance, occasional stress, and sustained energy.
We skip artificial and natural flavors and use real fruit instead. Unlike flavoring extracts, which are often stripped of nutrients, real fruit provides real nourishment and flavor.* It’s better for your body and your taste buds.

FAQ's

When caffeine enters your system, your body breaks it down into three main metabolites: paraxanthine, theobromine, and theophylline. Of these, paraxanthine makes up the majority and is a key contributor to the alertness and focus you feel after consuming caffeine.* Unlike caffeine itself, paraxanthine is already in its active form, so it can support focus and energy more quickly.
If you’re deciding between Yerba Mate and Paraxanthine, it comes down to the type of energy you want. Yerba Mate is a plant-based caffeine source that provides gentle, sustained energy along with antioxidants and polyphenols,* making it ideal for a balanced, traditional boost. Paraxanthine, on the other hand, is an active metabolite of caffeine that supports alertness and focus more quickly,* making it perfect for a faster-acting pick-me-up. It also has a shorter half life, so it clears from the body faster than caffeine, meaning you can enjoy it in the afternoon with less likelihood of sleep disruption.*
Paraxanthine is a stimulant, so it may affect sleep if taken too close to bedtime.* However, because it typically clears from the body faster than caffeine, some people may be able to enjoy it in the afternoon without disrupting their sleep.* It’s generally best to avoid taking it right before bed.
Paraxanthine comes from caffeine but is not technically caffeine itself. It delivers clean, focused energy, and is less likely to result in jitters or crashes.*
Yes, paraxanthine acts as a stimulant, similar to caffeine, by supporting alertness and focus.* However, because it is already the active metabolite of caffeine, it often works faster and may produce fewer unwanted side effects like jitters or crashes.*

"This is just the boost I need some afternoons. I love that it's caffeine free but it still delivers a noticeable difference in my energy and mental clarity when a mid-afternoon slump comes in! I gave 4 stars because the flavor seems a little off to me, but it might just be because I'm used to this flavor in the electrolytes and this (of course) has some different ingredients in it."
"My wife and I use this to help us with our boost for energy and focus. Raising 3 children 10 and under, running two businesses and being active in the outdoors demands our attention and energy, so we are excited we found something healthy and it works! 5 stars!"
"I feel like it does increase energy and focus. Not as potent as caffeine though, but no jitters or sleep disturbance. I’d love better flavors. The Raspberry Lemonade and Raspberry Rush are incredibly sour that’s why I gave 4 stars. I diluted and added some grape flavor to counteract it. I didn’t try the lemonade but imagine it’s worse. More flavors please!"
"I cannot say enough good things about the Energy + Brain Boost! Honestly, I have been waiting for a product like this to be created by Just Ingredients. Knowing how incredibly strict they are about the cleanliness of their ingredients, I was super excited to finally try it—and it did not disappoint. Ever since adding this into my rotation, it has become an absolute staple in my household. The biggest win? I no longer drink traditional energy drinks! I get that perfect, focused boost without any of the junk or the crash. Pro hack: If you’re someone who misses the carbonation of a canned drink, put a scoop of this in some soda water/sparkling water. It becomes a delicious, fizzy energy drink that tastes better than anything you’ll find in a store. If you’re looking for clean energy and mental clarity, this is it!"
