What's Inside

Premium Nootropic Stack

SORIN is the only brand with CognatiQ® — and one of two with Cognizin®. No other brand pairs both.

Unique Premium Nootropic Ingredients Per Brand

🧠

Cognizin® Citicoline

A patented, highly bioavailable form of citicoline — supports memory, recall, and attention. SORIN is one of only two brands to include it.

☕

CognatiQ®

Whole coffee fruit extract shown to raise BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels. Exclusive to SORIN in this category.

🎯

L-Theanine

Promotes calm, sustained focus without stimulant-driven jitters. Works synergistically with SORIN's full nootropic stack.

⚖️

Magnesium Glycinate

The most bioavailable form of magnesium. Supports neural calm, reduces cortisol spikes, and aids overnight recovery. Zero competitors include this.

💧

Potassium

Part of SORIN's 700mg+ electrolyte blend. Supports nerve signaling and hydration — making this the only focus drink that also hydrates.

🌿

Agave Sweetener

7g of natural agave — not sucralose, not stevia, not monk fruit. A clean, naturally-derived sweetener that won't spike insulin or disrupt gut flora.

Health Profile

Clean Label. Zero Compromise.

SORIN contains no stimulants, no artificial sweeteners, no synthetic dyes — and is the only focus drink with both nootropics and electrolytes.

Sugar Per Can (grams)

Artificial Sweetener Usage

⚡

Zero Stimulants

No caffeine, no guarana, no paraxanthine. SORIN is the only focus beverage that works purely through nootropics — no jitters, no anxiety, no dependency.

🌱

Natural Sweetness Only

7g of agave. No sucralose (Neutonic), no stevia, no monk fruit. The only natural, recognizable sweetener in the nootropic drink category.

💧

Hydrates While You Focus

700mg+ of electrolytes including potassium and magnesium. No competitor combines both nootropic depth and meaningful electrolyte content.

📉

Crash-Proof by Design

No stimulants means no stimulant rebound. SORIN is the only brand where "no crash" is a structural formula guarantee — not just a marketing claim.

Workplace Performance

Built for Output. Not Just Energy.

SORIN is the only focus beverage engineered specifically for the workplace — with a documented productivity outcome and a corporate program behind it.

Overall Workplace Performance Score (out of 100)

📈

+33% Productivity

The only brand with a specific, quantified productivity outcome. No competitor makes this claim with any supporting benchmark.

🏢

Only Corporate Program

Purpose-built for B2B. Bulk pricing, dedicated account support, and ROI documentation included. No competitor offers this.

⏱️

All-Day Sustained Focus

Nootropics work cumulatively through the full workday — unlike caffeine's 2–4 hour window followed by a crash and rebound effect.

💼

ROI-Positive at Day 1

At $4.16/can, the +33% productivity gain returns 60–80× the beverage cost annually. No other brand can make this financial case.
