What is Paraxanthine?
/par-uh-zan-theen/
Paraxanthine is the primary compound your body produces after you consume caffeine. When caffeine is ingested, the liver breaks it down into three naturally occurring metabolites: paraxanthine, theobromine, and theophylline. Of these, paraxanthine is the most abundant, accounting for roughly 70–80% of caffeine metabolism in most people. Many of the benefits people associate with caffeine, such as improved alertness, focus, mental stamina, and energy utilization, are linked to paraxanthine itself. By isolating paraxanthine, it is possible to deliver many of caffeine’s positive cognitive and energy effects like delivering smoother, more consistent energy compared to traditional caffeine sources, especially for individuals who are more sensitive to caffeine.
Is UPDATE caffeine free?
Yes - UPDATE has zero caffeine in it. Instead of using caffeine, UPDATE is powered by paraxanthine.
What makes UPDATE different from other energy drinks?
Unlike typical energy drinks that are powered by caffeine, UPDATE is powered by a functional stack of ingredients with paraxanthine at its core - not caffeine. Paraxanthine is the clean compound your body naturally converts caffeine into to support focus and clarity. UPDATE delivers smooth, steady energy without the jitters, crashes, or sleep disruption commonly associated with traditional energy drinks. The result is clear, intentional & focused energy with zero sugar, zero calories and zero artificial flavors or colors.
