What it does
Benefits of Energy Powder
Traditional energy drinks give you a spike and a slump. This one is dosed to do better.
The Nourivo difference: Benefits that build over time
Based on published research on caffeine and L-theanine pharmacokinetics, not a promise of results. Individual sensitivity varies.*
- L-theanine is fast-acting and is paired with caffeine to smooth the onset
- Mixed with water, it's best taken 20 to 30 minutes before training
- Zero sugar and 20 calories means it won't compete with a pre-workout meal
- Published research on caffeine commonly places peak blood levels around this window
- This is when most people notice the lift
- Individual sensitivity to caffeine varies considerably
- Green tea caffeine paired with L-theanine is associated with a smoother decline than caffeine alone in some research
- Taurine and a full B-complex are included at studied amounts, not a proprietary blend
- One container covers 20 servings, enough for a few weeks of regular training days

Questions
Questions? We're here to help.
How much caffeine is in a serving?
200mg in a full two scoop serving, which is roughly two cups of coffee. If you're new to caffeine or want a lighter lift, start with one scoop in 6 to 10 oz of water for 100mg. Do not exceed the recommended serving.
What does L-theanine do alongside caffeine?
L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea. Paired with caffeine at roughly a two to one ratio, it's the combination people reach for when they want clean focus without the jitters or the hard landing. That's why it's dosed at 100mg here rather than as a token amount.
How do I mix it?
Two scoops (7g) into 12 to 20 oz of water for a full serving. Use the scooper inside the jar. One scoop in 6 to 10 oz works if you want half the caffeine.
Why are there electrolytes in an energy powder?
Because the things that drain your energy also drain your minerals. Magnesium, sodium and potassium are lost through sweat and long hours, and replacing them is part of feeling functional rather than just wired.
Who should avoid it?
Anyone sensitive to caffeine, under 18, or managing a medical condition. Consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any medication. Consume within 90 days of opening, and note it's manufactured in a facility that also handles milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame.

A note from Dylan, founder
I started Nourivo because I was tired of supplement labels that oversell what's inside. Everything here is made to a standard I'd put my own name on.
