Circadia vs.
Sapsucker.

Organic Canadian maple sap water, clean and lightly sweet. It is essentially nature’s lightly mineral water. Pleasant and honest, with no added function, no targeting, and no clock.

Where the gap opens
01

It is tree water

A little naturally occurring sugar, around 7 grams and 35 calories from just three ingredients, plus a few trace minerals, is the whole story, and Sapsucker does not pretend otherwise. Circadia is water plus a precise, named set of nutrients, dosed for the time of day.1

02

Trace minerals are not targeting

Naturally occurring minerals are not the same as a meaningful dose of the things Canadians actually miss, like vitamin D, choline and magnesium, in forms that absorb.23

03

No clock

One can for any hour. Circadia is built as two moments, RISE and DRIFT.4
