The Next Era of Energy: Be alert, not overstimulated. Paraxanthine powers a wakefulness you'll actually enjoy.

Upgrade your attention span with ingredients that enhance concentration and get a dopamine boost with paraxanthine and powerful nootropics.

Paraxanthine elevates you beyond the baseline in a way that caffeine simply cannot. It's one of the three metabolites of caffeine and is the compound that produces the energetic and focus effects we love from caffeine.

The other two metabolites, theobromine and theophylline are excluded in order to eliminate the side effects of jitters, anxiety, overstimulation, and the dreaded caffeine crash.

Power Quotes From The Show Paraxanthine Is Going to Change The World

"Paraxanthine is the caffeine 2.0. It's going to change the way society thinks, feels, and acts. It's going to be the replacement for caffeine where it's been an abusive relationship for millennia." - Shawn Wells

What Is Science?

"Science is meant to be empowering. Science is meant to be a journey. Science is meant to be open-ended. I believe that science is an art that's meant to be explored. We never truly get an answer. It's a journey with no definitive beginning or end. And we get to explore and find what makes sense for us, that's science." - Shawn Wells

The Benefits of Paraxanthine

"Paraxanthine doesn't only give you energy. It increases the nitric oxide to the brain, glutathione, catalase, BDNF neuroplasticity, cognitive flexibility, serotonin, acetylcholine, and dopamine. All the ways that your brain could be younger, it's doing. So it's no longer a come-at-a-cost ingredient like caffeine. It's the ingredient that is going to help us reshape our society, if we let it, in a very healthy way." - Shawn Wells
