Biochemistry and Mechanisms
Kola nut supplies unique constituents, specifically naturally occurring alkaloids such as caffeine and theobromine, which work synergistically to support the nervous system. These raw materials promote healthy communication between nerve cells, facilitating efficient use of energy and sustained energy production to replenish nutrient reserves. By supporting healthy blood flow to the brain, these alkaloids maintain mental acuity and cognitive focus during mentally stimulating activities.
Furthermore, theobromine works with the cardiovascular system to maintain the integrity and flexibility of blood vessels. This action helps circulate blood, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell to support physical mechanics, physical endurance, and stamina. Kola nut also supplies a broad spectrum of phytonutrients, including potent antioxidants like polyphenols. These unique constituents neutralize free radicals to buffer against everyday wear and tear and manage oxidative stress. To properly assimilate these compounds and maintain a balanced stress response, the constituent synergy supports the production and activity of digestive enzymes, allowing the internal environment to break down food and metabolize nutrients efficiently.

Dosages and Handling
Liquid Extract Dosage: We suggest 10 to 90 drops, taken 1 to 3 times per day. (1 dropper is approximately 1ml, which yields ~30 drops. The estimated caffeine content in one dropper is ~10mg, and ~0.33mg per drop).
- Shake gently: We recommend securing the lid and turning the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the liquid extract. Vigorous shaking oxidizes the constituents.
- By mouth: We suggest holding the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing, or mixing the drops into 2-4 oz of lukewarm drinking water.
- Timing: We recommend taking this formulation primarily in the morning or early afternoon. Due to the naturally occurring alkaloid constituents, evening consumption is not recommended to ensure restorative sleep.
Tonic Synergy & Timing: Benefits accumulate over time. With these botanicals, some effects are immediate within the first few days (one to three days). Other effects and benefits are building and are noticeable within one to two weeks. We recommend taking this formulation on an empty stomach (up to 30 mins before eating) for rapid mucosal assimilation, followed by a complete balanced meal to provide the building blocks (proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats).
