FAQ's

Many people notice a difference from their very first serving. Instead of the spike and crash associated with many traditional energy drinks, AEGIS is formulated to provide smoother energy and support focus with a moderate-caffeine approach. It also includes ingredients like NMN, CoQ10, and Ca-AKG because they are studied for their roles in supporting mitochondrial function and cellular energy metabolism. Many customers describe the experience as feeling smoother and more controlled than a typical energy drink. While some people notice the effects right away, AEGIS was designed to be used consistently as part of a daily routine.

Many people notice a difference shortly after taking AEGIS, although individual response varies. AEGIS combines a moderate amount of caffeine to support alertness and focus with ingredients selected for their roles in supporting cellular energy production and mitochondrial function. While some effects may be noticed right away, AEGIS was designed to be used consistently as part of a daily routine.

Yes. Each serving contains 77mg of caffeine from green tea—less than many cups of brewed coffee. We didn't build AEGIS around caffeine; we built it around cellular energy support. We use a moderate amount of caffeine to support alertness and focus while the rest of the formula is designed to support your body's natural energy systems and a smoother energy experience.

AEGIS was designed to deliver a smoother energy experience than many traditional energy drinks by using a moderate amount of caffeine (77mg from green tea) as part of a broader formula—not as the entire formula. Individual responses to caffeine vary, but many customers tell us they experience steadier energy compared with traditional energy drinks. We recommend staying below the FDA's suggested limit of 400mg of caffeine per day from all sources.

AEGIS contains 77mg of caffeine from green tea, so its effect on sleep depends on when you take it and your individual sensitivity to caffeine. The formula also includes L-theanine, which is commonly paired with caffeine to support a calmer, more focused experience. If you're sensitive to caffeine, we recommend taking AEGIS earlier in the day and avoiding it later in the afternoon or evening.

Most people take AEGIS in the morning or before training or work — anytime you want sustained energy and focus. Some people take more than one serving per day. Just avoid taking it too late in the day because of the caffeine.

AEGIS is built around research-informed ingredients organized into three complementary systems:

The Bioenergetic Core supports cellular energy production and mitochondrial function with ingredients like NMN, Creatine, CoQ10, PQQ, and Ca-AKG.

The Cognitive Drivers support focus and mental performance with Cognizin® Citicoline, Lion's Mane, L-Theanine, and green tea caffeine.

The Performance Stack supports physical performance with ingredients like Citrulline, Cordyceps, and Rhodiola, plus electrolytes and B vitamins.

Every ingredient—and every dose—is fully disclosed on the label. No proprietary blends. No hidden formulas. https://drinkaegis.com/pages/ingredients

Mix one scoop daily with 16-20 ounces of cold water and drink. We recommend mixing it with ice! It's easy to take on the go — because it's a powder, you can travel with it and just add water. Some of the ingredients degrade in water over time and lose their effectiveness so consume within 90 minutes of mixing for the very best results. Some people consume more than one scoop daily. We recommend not to exceed 3 scoops daily.
