Cocoa in Switch On supports memory and improves mental processing speed and verbal fluency.
Tyrosine sharpens memory in demanding conditions, such as after sleep deprivation.
Creatine enhances ability to reason and lifts mood, also opposing the effects of insufficient sleep on cognitive and physical performance.
Caffeine increases alertness, speeds reaction time and comes into its own after sleep loss too.
L-theanine is the perfect complement to caffeine by maintaining calmness and sharpening focus.
Vitamin C in Switch On helps prevent the common cold when under duress.
Ginger reduces systemic inflammation, an important contributor to many health problems.
While caffeine in Switch On acutely boosts exercise performance, creatine speeds muscle and strength gains over time.
Creatine supports bone health during exercise training, and ginger keeps joint pain at bay.
Caffeine, ginger and green coffee extraction in Switch On support weight loss by accelerating fat burning.
Cocoa can reduce facial wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
Vitamin C increases free radical scavenging activity of skin, protecting against oxidative stress (e.g., from environmental pollutants). It is also involved in stabilising the structure of collagen in connective tissues (e.g.skin).
Cocoa in Switch On improves blood vessel function and slightly lowers blood pressure.
Cocoa and chicory root inulin in Switch On are prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Inulin also eases constipation.
In case you’re ever queasy, ginger reduces nausea.
Cocoa and chicory root inulin in Switch On help maintain healthy insulin and blood sugar levels.
L-theanine keeps levels of the stress hormone cortisol in check.
Ginger in Switch On relieves menstrual cycle discomfort in women.
In men, vitamin C boosts sperm quality when health is suboptimal
(e.g., due to smoking).
As it’s a drink, Switch On supports hydration.
How to switch on
Enjoy Switch On hot or cold, with 200 ml water or milk. One of our favourite options is to throw it in a blender with a banana – delicious!
For best results, drink Switch On 1 hour before beginning a mentally or physically demanding activity. At Resilient HQ, we generally use it at the start of a long day of work.
WE VALUE TRANSPARENCY
If you’re like us, you’ve felt disillusioned by nutrition and supplement companies who use the term ‘proprietary blend’ to mask the fact that there isn’t nearly enough of the active ingredients to produce the desired effects.
We don’t do this, and the proof is on the product label.
