For the meeting that matters

They'll notice one thing: how steady you are.

Calm first, then focus. One 2.5 oz shot before you walk in.

The private fear on the ride up isn't that you'll fail. It's that the room will notice you're not as sharp as your role demands.

You did the work. You know the material better than anyone on the call. And somewhere between the elevator and the handshake, your hands decide to have an opinion about it.

So you do what everyone does. You reach for something. And the thing you reach for was built to make you more activated, not less.

"People always told me I was good in rooms. I always felt nervous walking into them."

Ryan Evans, owner of Alpha Zen
The stimulant loop

The thing you take for energy is the thing costing you control.

An overloaded day drains you. So you add a stimulant. The stimulant sharpens the edge you were already standing on, and the nerves get worse, which feels exactly like needing more of it. By three o'clock you're jittery and flat at the same time, and whatever you reach for at five costs you the ability to fall asleep. Tomorrow starts drained.

This is not an argument against caffeine. Alpha Zen has 50 mg of it, and the owner drinks it every day. The problem was caffeine arriving on its own, with nothing to steady it.

The can you reach for at five is the one that costs you the ability to fall asleep, and tomorrow starts drained.

What we did instead

Less than half the caffeine of an energy drink, paired with two studied ingredients that change how it lands.

SENSORIL® Ashwagandha

A clinically studied adaptogen that helps the body manage stress and support a balanced response to daily pressure.

Suntheanine® L-theanine

A purified amino acid from green tea. Helps promote calm focus and smooths caffeine to prevent overstimulation.

50 mg, not 200

Typical energy drink 160 to 200 mg
Cup of coffee about 95 mg
Alpha Zen 50 mg

With Panax Ginseng and hops. Calm first. Focus next. Energy that lasts, in that order, which is the whole point.

Someone who sells for a living

"As door to door sales reps, we typically load up on energy drinks before hitting the doors. Problem with that is it just raises our heart rates and lowers our performance. Alpha Zen gives me and my reps the calm and focus we need to hit the doors without the jitters and nerves we're used to."
