Focus Powder (Sour Candy)
The honest version: the real doses, the evidence graded for what it’s worth, and who should skip this one.
Focus Powder (Sour Candy) · 7.5 g scoop · 20 servings
Caffeine and L-theanine — the focus pairing that actually holds up, with every dose printed.
200 mg natural caffeine and 100 mg L-theanine — the calm-focus combo the research is built on — plus a real Alpha-GPC dose, a full B-complex and ginseng, in a sour candy flavour.* Every dose disclosed, no proprietary blend.
Every dose, printed
What's actually in a scoop.
Two scoops give you the focus stack in full, doses and all: 200 mg natural caffeine (from green tea) paired with 100 mg L-theanine, 300 mg Alpha-GPC (a choline source), 1,000 mg L-arginine, 600 mg inositol, 50 mg Asian ginseng, and a full B-complex at 33% of the daily value each. No proprietary blend — every amount is on the label.
One number is the reason to respect it, and it's the caffeine. Here's the honest word.
200 mg caffeine
That's real — about two cups of coffee's worth, from green tea, paired with 100 mg of L-theanine. That caffeine-and-theanine pairing (a 2:1 ratio here) is the one focus combination with genuinely solid human research: caffeine for alertness, theanine to smooth its edge.
It also means this is a stimulant. Treat it like a strong coffee — not late in the day, not stacked with more caffeine. The full caution is in the dark section below.

Other Ingredients: Citric Acid, Polydextrose, Natural & Artificial Flavor, Sucralose, Calcium Silicate, Vegetable Juice Powder (for color).
It's the best-studied focus pairing there is: caffeine lifts alertness, L-theanine takes the jittery edge off. The 2:1 ratio here is the one most research uses.
A choline source your brain uses to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter tied to focus and memory. At 300 mg it's a real, studied dose — the standout among the supporting actives.
The evidence
What holds up — and what's just there.
Some of this stack is genuinely well supported; some is a supporting cast at modest doses. Here's the honest split.
Caffeine + L-theanine
The pairing is the real engine, and it's well studied: reliably better alertness and focus, with less of the jittery crash than caffeine alone. At 200 mg and 100 mg, both are at proper doses.
Alpha-GPC and ginseng
Alpha-GPC (choline/acetylcholine) and Asian ginseng have real cognitive research, and 300 mg of Alpha-GPC is a studied dose. Promising additions — genuinely more than filler.
Arginine, inositol, the B's
L-arginine, inositol and the B-vitamins round out the label. The B's help mainly if you're short on them, and arginine and inositol are supporting players here — not the reason it works.
The caffeine-and-theanine pairing is the part that genuinely works, and it's a stimulant — so we print the doses, name the science, and put the caffeine warning where you'll see it. That's the standard.
Our standard
How to use it
Two scoops. Before you need to focus.
Two scoops in water
Mix 7.5 g into cold water 20–30 minutes before you need to lock in. One tub is 20 servings.
Mind the clock
It's got 200 mg of caffeine, so keep it earlier in the day unless you want to be up late.
Don't double up on caffeine
Skip the coffee or energy drink you'd normally have alongside it — this already is one.
This is a genuinely well-built focus drink — the caffeine-and-theanine pairing is legit, the Alpha-GPC is a real dose, and unusually for the category, every amount is printed. What it also is: a stimulant sweetened with sucralose and artificial flavour. Buy it for the focus combo and the transparency; skip it if you avoid caffeine or artificial sweeteners.
Before you buy
Who should skip this one.
This is a caffeinated stimulant — 200 mg a serving, about two coffees. That's the headline: don't stack it with other caffeine, don't take it late, and skip it if caffeine and you don't get along.
Talk to your doctor, or skip this, if you:
- Are sensitive to caffeine or already drink a lot — 200 mg is significant; count it toward your daily total and don't double up.
- Have high blood pressure, a heart condition, or anxiety — the caffeine and ginseng can worsen all three.
- Take prescription medication — ginseng and black pepper extract interact with several drugs; check first.
- Are pregnant or nursing — the caffeine and ginseng mean this isn't for you.
- Are under 18 — a 200 mg caffeine focus drink isn't built for kids or teens.
This is a genuinely caffeinated product (200 mg) sweetened with sucralose and natural/artificial flavours. Treat it like an energy drink in powder form — great for what it does, but not for anyone avoiding caffeine or artificial sweeteners.
Straight answers
Focus Powder questions, answered.
What makes this a focus drink and not just caffeine?
The caffeine-and-L-theanine pairing (200 mg / 100 mg) is the studied focus combo, backed by Alpha-GPC (300 mg, a choline source), ginseng and a full B-complex — every dose printed, no proprietary blend.*
How much caffeine is in it?
200 mg per two-scoop serving — roughly two cups of coffee, from green tea. It's a genuine stimulant, so count it toward your daily caffeine and keep it earlier in the day.
What does L-theanine do?
It's the calm half of the pairing: L-theanine smooths the jittery edge off caffeine, so you get the alertness without as much buzz-and-crash. Caffeine plus theanine is the best-studied focus combination there is.
Is Alpha-GPC worth having?
Yes — it's a choline source your brain uses to make acetylcholine, a focus-and-memory neurotransmitter, and 300 mg is a real studied dose. It's the standout among the supporting actives.
Is it safe with my medications or conditions?
It's a 200 mg caffeine stimulant, so check first if you have high blood pressure, a heart condition or anxiety, take prescription medication, or are pregnant, nursing or under 18. Don't stack it with other caffeine.
Is it sweetened artificially?
Yes — with sucralose, plus natural and artificial flavours. It's a flavoured energy-drink-style powder, so skip it if you avoid artificial sweeteners.
Our standard
Why we stock it.
A genuinely well-built focus drink — the caffeine-and-theanine pairing that works, every dose printed — sold with the caffeine warning up front.
Most focus powders hide behind a proprietary "blend" and a big caffeine kick. This one prints every dose, pairs its caffeine with L-theanine the way the research does, and adds a real Alpha-GPC dose. We sell it on that — and tell you plainly it's a 200 mg stimulant with sucralose, not a clean supplement. That's the whole business.
