No Crash, Just Focus: The Science Behind Our Coffee Additive

Why a Stack Works Better

Caffeine alone is a blunt tool — it wakes you up but also spikes and crashes. Our blend works because the ingredients talk to each other. MCT-C8 delivers clean brain fuel. Suntheanine® smooths out caffeine’s rough edges. Magtein® and BioPQQ® support the cellular machinery that keeps your neurons firing efficiently. Lion’s Mane helps your brain adapt and grow, while Mucuna pruriens provides the raw material for motivation chemistry. Together, our unique mixture of ingredients don’t just manage caffeine’s weaknesses — they extend its benefits, giving you a calm, steady focus window that lasts hours longer than coffee by itself.

Rather than crashing, FOCUS provides a smooth ride down so that you no longer feel a jittery jolt and need to "chase that hit", or struggle to stay awake at work - only to be unable to sleep when you get home.

🚀 The Science Behind the Blend

MCT-C8 Powder (99% Octanoic Acid)

Role: Rapidly converted into ketones, giving your brain an alternative energy supply.

Evidence: C8 MCTs have been shown to improve cognitive performance by providing extra brain fuel beyond glucose【PMC9007652】.

L-Theanine (Suntheanine®)

Role: Promotes relaxed focus. Blunts caffeine’s edge without dulling its alertness.

Evidence: Human studies consistently show L-theanine + caffeine improves focus, accuracy, and reaction times, while reducing mental fatigue【PubMed 18681988】.

Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein®)

Role: The only magnesium form shown to cross the blood-brain barrier effectively, supporting memory and cognitive function.

Evidence: Clinical data show Magtein® increases brain magnesium levels, supporting learning and working memory【PMC9786204】.

PQQ (BioPQQ®)

Role: Supports mitochondrial health — the powerhouses that drive brain energy and resilience.

Evidence: A placebo-controlled human trial found BioPQQ® supplementation improved attention and reduced fatigue【PubMed 22071893】.

Mucuna Pruriens (15% L-DOPA)

Role: Natural source of L-DOPA, the direct precursor to dopamine — a neurotransmitter central to motivation, mood, and focus.

Evidence: Standardized Mucuna pruriens extracts with defined L-DOPA content have been studied in human and preclinical settings for their impact on dopamine availability【PubMed 25057356.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom (30% Erinacine A)

Role: Stimulates Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), supporting brain plasticity and long-term cognitive health.

Evidence: Clinical studies show Lion’s Mane can improve memory and concentration in older adults【PubMed 24266378】, while erinacine-standardized extracts support NGF activity【MDPI 2023.

🌱 No Nasties, No Taste Change

We kept the formula clean and good for your digestion:

Inulin – prebiotic fibre for gut health.

Acacia fibre – keeps the blend smooth and stable.

Sunflower lecithin – helps emulsify fats for absorption.

Bamboo silica – trace mineral support.

All neutral in flavour, so your coffee still tastes like coffee — not chalky, bitter, or artificial.

☕ The Bottom Line

Stack synergy: Clean energy + calm focus + mitochondrial and neural support = no crash, longer productivity. FOCUS also has the capacity to replenish when caffeine depletes - thereby ensuring that responsible caffeine intake will not result in long term fatigue.

Clinically studied forms: Magtein®, Suntheanine®, BioPQQ®, standardized Erinacine

A.Taste-safe: Blends seamlessly into coffee or tea.

Clean label: No fillers, no mystery blends.

Your morning coffee, smarter, steadier, longer-lasting.
