FOCUS CREAM

Yeah, issuitablefor pregnant or lactating women. There is insufficient evidence on adverse effects of functional ingredients. These are foods consumed for many years in local populations, without published adverse effects of any kind. The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) does not expressly recommend against its consumption by pregnant and/or lactating women. However, if you have doubts, consult with an up-to-date professional so they can give you a more personalized assessment.

No, it does not contain caffeine. If you don't want to drink it with coffee, you can drink it with decaffeinated coffee, caffeine-free infusions, milk or vegetable drink, smoothies...
But keep in mind that it does act synergistically with caffeine, modulating its effect thanks to L-theanine.

Of course, it actually contains L-theanine extracted from tea leaves which can be beneficial.

No, it does not break the fast and is suitable for keto (ketogenic) diets. The 5g dose of Focus Creamer provides less than 25 kcal. Furthermore, these calories come mainly from MCTs, which are healthy fats present in coconut and that provide us with quick energy without generating blood sugar spikes from glucose. On the other hand, they maintain the level of satiety for longer and help you regulate your appetite.

The recommended daily dose is 5g (one scoop), and in this way you do not break your fast.
It does not matter what time of day you take it, it can be in the morning or in the afternoon but we advise you to consume it just before an activity that requires physical and/or mental energy to benefit from its effects and at times not close to those of the day. dream.

The difference between one product and another is that we have added Cognizin to Focus, which is a patented form of citicoline, a powerful nutrient for brain health that has been clinically proven to promote concentration, attention and memory. This natural compound is essential for the proper functioning of neurons and can help improve cognitive performance.
We do not recommend taking Focus and Energy Creamer at the same time since we would be doubling the dose of L-theanine.

- We recommend the Focus Creamer if what you need is to be more productive and focused
- If what you are looking for is to start your day with energy and not have a hard time getting started in the morning, the Energy Creamer is your ally.

That is, Focus for mental activity/concentration and Energy for physical activity.
