Nature meets function.
Transparent ingredients. Thoughtful formulation. Built from biology.
01 · Amino acids
Aminos explained
-
01
Essential amino acids
EAAs · All 9
Of the 20 amino acids used to build proteins, nine are classified as essential because the body cannot produce them on its own and they must be obtained through the diet and/or supplementation. Essential amino acids are required for muscle protein synthesis, tissue maintenance, and a range of other physiological processes.
-
02
Branched-chain amino acids
BCAAs · Leucine, isoleucine, valine
Among the essential amino acids are the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine, and valine. BCAAs are metabolized in skeletal muscle and play important roles in muscle protein metabolism. Leucine acts as a key nutritional signal that activates pathways involved in muscle protein synthesis, while isoleucine and valine contribute to amino acid metabolism and muscle energy metabolism.

03
Key non-essential aminos
NEAAs · L-Citrulline, L-Taurine
L-citrulline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that serves as a precursor to L-arginine and supports nitric oxide production, which plays an important role in vascular function and blood flow. L-taurine is an amino sulfonic acid involved in cellular hydration, calcium regulation, membrane stability, and muscle function. Together, they complement the essential amino acids in supporting muscle function, circulation, and the physiological demands of daily movement.
02 · Electrolytes
Electrolyte function
Electrolytes help regulate the systems that keep the body moving. Sodium, potassium, and magnesium contribute to fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle contraction.
-
01
Sodium
Ancient Ocean® Himalayan salt
A primary regulator of extracellular fluid volume, and the key electrolyte lost through sweat.
-
02
Potassium
Potassium chloride
Helps maintain cellular fluid balance and the electrical gradients required for nerve and muscle function.
-
03
Magnesium
Magnesium bisglycinate
Serves as a cofactor in hundreds of biochemical reactions, including those involved in protein synthesis.
03 · The system
Together, amino acids and electrolytes address different pieces of the same system.
Amino acids provide the raw materials involved in protein metabolism, while electrolytes help maintain the fluid balance and neuromuscular processes that allow the body to function and move. They complement, not replace, a nutrient-dense diet and adequate hydration.
04 · Chosen for more than flavor
What is the magic behind botanicals?
Plants with purpose. Botanicals bring more than flavor to a formula. We select plant-derived ingredients for their naturally occurring compounds, sensory qualities, and complementary role within the formula. Each botanical is chosen intentionally to add something meaningful, without adding what the body doesn’t need.

01
Organic ginger root
Gingerols + shogaols
Ginger contains bioactive compounds including gingerols and shogaols that have been studied for their effects on gastrointestinal function, nausea, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Human clinical research has found the strongest evidence around nausea, while systematic reviews also report effects on inflammatory and oxidative-stress biomarkers.
-
02
Organic lemon juice
Vitamin C + polyphenols
Lemon contains vitamin C as well as naturally occurring polyphenols, including flavonoids such as hesperidin and eriocitrin. These compounds have antioxidant activity and have been studied for their roles in anti-inflammatory, metabolic, and vascular pathways. Vitamin C also contributes to normal immune function, collagen formation, and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

03
Organic cayenne pepper
Capsaicin + TRPV1
Cayenne's signature compound, capsaicin, activates TRPV1 receptors involved in sensory signaling and thermogenesis. Research has been conducted to understand capsaicin for energy expenditure, fat oxidation, metabolic effects, gastrointestinal function, and exercise performance.
Formulated with purpose.
We combine what nature provides with what science has taught us, to support the body, not overwhelm it.
