Where the gap opens
01

A can, not a cadence

Mateina is one pleasant drink for whenever. Circadia is two, sequenced to your morning and your night, because your needs at 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. are not the same.1

02

Caffeine without a clock

Mate caffeine is smooth, but still caffeine at any hour, including too late for good sleep. We keep ours in RISE and leave DRIFT clear.2

03

Pleasant beats targeted, until it does not

Mate brings antioxidants and a gentle lift. It does not target the vitamin D, choline, magnesium and glycine gaps we built our formula to fill.34
