Have you heard of paraxanthine? This novel (but safe) ingredient is being dubbed the ultimate caffeine upgrade. Inside the body, the liver converts caffeine into three metabolites. ~80% is paraxanthine. Paraxanthine is responsible for virtually all of the feel-great and performance benefits of caffeine without jitters, nervousness, clammy palms, sleep disturbance, habit-forming, digestive upset or other issues.

It's far less toxic than caffeine and feels subjectively smoother. It also has stronger memory, motivation, and discipline-enhancing effects. Despite naturally forming in the body post-caffeine consumption, unfortunately, very few companies sell it.

You won't find it as a standalone product.

Nick's Take: Update is some special stuff. I am not generally a fan of energy drinks, but this one is pretty special. It contains none of the usual junk (including caffeine) but has a scientifically-formulated stack of quality nootropics to further enhance paraxanthine.

The cognitive pick-me-up feels much cleaner, well-balanced, energizing, and more productive than coffee. Learn more about supplementing paraxanthine in my review. If you prefer watching video get ready to boost your performance by watching this. DrinkUpdate code URBAN saves you 25%
