02 · The caffeine problem

You take the whole molecule to get one part of it.

Drink a coffee and your liver goes to work. Between 70 and 80 percent of that caffeine comes out the other side as paraxanthine — the part doing the heavy lifting on alertness. The rest becomes theobromine and theophylline. Pack A Punch starts at paraxanthine.

The old way

Coffee & energy drinks

The whole molecule — all three metabolites, and a wait while your liver sorts them out.

Whole molecule · liver conversion · two extra metabolites

  • A conversion step you have to wait through
  • Two metabolites you didn't ask for
  • Often 30 g+ of added sugar
  • Fixed dose, cup by cup or can by can
The upgrade

Paraxanthine, direct

Caffeine's dominant metabolite, delivered without the conversion step.

No conversion step · 200 mg per full serve

  • Most people notice it in 20–30 minutes
  • Built for a smooth arc, not a spike
  • No caffeine, no added sugar
  • Five more actives, every dose printed

Curves are illustrative only and do not represent measured data.

03 · The Paraxanthine protocol

One molecule. No conversion step.

Paraxanthine is what your liver is working toward for hours after every coffee. We deliver it directly — it arrives as paraxanthine.

200 mg Paraxanthine per full 25 ml serve

Fast onset

Paraxanthine absorbs quickly — most people notice it inside 20–30 minutes.

Built for a smooth arc

Formulated for a clean rise into hours of level attention, rather than a spike.

Not caffeine

A different molecule with a different profile. In one small trial, fewer jitter-type effects were reported than with caffeine.

Shorter half-life

Paraxanthine's average half-life is around 3 hours, compared with roughly 4 for caffeine.

04 · The stack

Six actives. Every dose printed.

No proprietary blends. No 'energy matrix'. No rounding down and hoping you don't check. Here's the whole formula, in milligrams.

200 mg

Paraxanthine

The hero

Caffeine's dominant metabolite, delivered directly. Works on the adenosine pathway — the same fatigue-signal system caffeine acts on — without theobromine or theophylline along for the ride.

300 mg

GeniusPure® Alpha GPC

Choline source

A choline source standardised to 99% purity, so the dose is almost entirely active compound. Choline is the raw material your body builds acetylcholine from.

250 mg

Citicoline

Second pathway

Supplies choline and cytidine, which converts to uridine — a component of neuronal membranes. Two routes rather than one.

500 mg

Acetyl-L-Tyrosine

Catecholamine precursor

The acetylated form of tyrosine — the amino acid your body builds dopamine and noradrenaline from. Tyrosine gets drawn down under sustained load.

100 mcg

Huperzine A

From Chinese club moss

Derived from Huperzia serrata. Included at 100 mcg alongside the two choline sources. Don't stack Pack A Punch with other Huperzine A products.

500 mg

Electroprime®

Electrolytes

Sodium, potassium, magnesium. You're mixing this into 300 ml of water anyway, and hydration is the floor everything else stands on.

200 mg paraxanthine plus a 1.05 g nootropic stack and 500 mg electrolytes, per full 25 ml serve. A half serve is half of each.

07 · The protocol

Three steps. Zero excuses.

The simplest energy ritual in your kitchen — 20 seconds, start to finish.

01

Shake

It's a concentrate — it settles. Shake before every use.

02

Pour

Half capful (12.5 ml) to start. Full capful (25 ml) once you know how you respond.

03

Mix

Into 300 ml of cold water.

Adults 18+. Contains a stimulant (paraxanthine). Do not exceed one full capful (25 ml) in 24 hours, and avoid within 6 hours of sleep. Not suitable for children, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor first if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, a history of anxiety disorders, known stimulant sensitivity, or take prescription medication. Always read the label and use only as directed.

“This is the best 'energy' type drink for both focused work and exercise. It's like having a coffee or an energy drink minus the BS. I haven't bought an energy drink since.”

“I work a 9 to 5 and go to pilates at night. I like that I control the dose — half a capful on a normal day, a full one when I need it. The Creamin' Soda is also yum.”

“The Watermelon Mojito is legitimately delicious. And the wear-off is smooth — I don't really notice it happen.”
