Inside the Formula

A science‑backed energy drink
with zero compromise

STÆD began with one promise: build a crash free energy drink that fuels demanding days instead of derailing them. Create a drink that helps trigger deep work. Include only the cleanest ingredients, with designer branding, and no lingering bad breath. The result is a hand crafted performance stack that delivers smooth, sustained energy while respecting your body and palate.

Cognizin Citicoline

Clinically Proven Productivity

We partnered with Cognizin to bring you a premium deep work recipe. This patented form of citicoline easily passes the blood brain barrier to initiate better focus, attention, and time on task, pairing perfectly with our other functional ingredients.

Clinically shown advantages:

  • Supports acetylcholine synthesis for healthy neurotransmission 
  • Supports brain and cognitive health
  • Helps your ability to stay focused, and stay on task
  • Boosts dopamine and norepinephrine—the motivation transmitters—making it your all‑day focus energy drink.

L‑Theanine +
Organic Caffeine Synergy

STÆD pairs organic caffeine with L‑theanine to create an ideal smooth synergy. The blend converts raw stimulation into calm focus, turning every sip into a precision dose rather than a spike. This also influences alpha brain waves: responsible for increasing relaxed alertness and calm focus.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Caffeine + L Theanine means no crash
  • Alpha‑wave elevation for mood regulation and productive focus
  • Smooth energy curve without jitters or crashes

Organic Elderberry +
Vitamin E Antioxidant Layer

Our elderberries are grown in the mountains of Austria and hand picked on a family farm. The red/pink coloring of our products comes from pure elderberry powder - a polyphenol‑rich berry loaded with anthocyanins that act as vascular guardians.

Why it matters

  • Delivers broad‑spectrum defense as an antioxidant energy drink.
  • Help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress
  • Many important benefits for body and brain health
  • Natural hue means no artificial dyes, just organic natural plant power.

Organic Agave Inulin Prebiotic

Under the flavor lies a gut‑friendly chassis that also provides our natural sweetness. Organic agave inulin turns STÆD into a prebiotic energy drink that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, specifically bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. 

  • Prebiotic support
  • Supports healthy gut-brain axis
  • Gently promotes serotonin precursors
  • Healthy gut promotes improved mood and focus

Monkfruit

Monkruit provides the beautiful vanilla/carmel sweetness to the drink at a level we tailored to each flavor. The idea was to balance the sweetness with each natural flavor and avoid the hummingbird feeder cringe present in so many drinks today. Expect boardroom‑ready composure and inbox‑emptying flow, not the sweaty roller‑coaster of yesterday’s formulas.

  • No GI impact
  • Diabetic, keto, low carb friendly
  • No sugar, sugar alcohols, stevia, or sucralose
  • No lingering bad breath or mouth funk
