Your work is mentally demanding.
Your days depend on thinking clearly, making decisions and staying sharp.
A daily supplement for mentally demanding days. Built to support steadier cellular energy, focus and resilience across the workday, without chasing a stimulant spike.
Nicotinamide Riboside supports the NAD+ pathway linked to steadier cellular energy production.
Rhodiola Rosea is included to support focus, composure and mental performance under stress.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports mitochondrial energy metabolism and sustained mental drive.
THE ENERGY CURVE07:00 – 19:00
A stimulant takes energy from later in your day and spends it now. The Energist works upstream — supporting the cellular machinery that makes energy in the first place.
Move across the curve to compare the day.
The Energist is built to help you stay sharp, capable and composed through demanding days — with energy for the life you’ve built beyond work.
Your days depend on thinking clearly, making decisions and staying sharp.
Not just a brief lift, but the capacity to keep performing as the day unfolds.
From the first important decision to the last thing that needs your attention.
For training, your partner, your family, your plans — and time that’s still yours.
How it works
Most formulas pile ingredients into a capsule and hope they add up. The Core Protocol follows the order your body already runs: restore the coenzyme, convert it to fuel, then guard it from stress.
01Supply
Nicotinamide Riboside replenishes NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), the coenzyme every cell needs to turn food into usable energy. Levels decline with age. The protocol begins here because nothing downstream works without it.
02Convert
Acetyl-L-Carnitine delivers acetyl groups into the mitochondria of neurons, feeding the cycle that produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the currency every clear thought is paid in. Supply becomes fuel. Fuel becomes attention.
03Protect
Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogen studied for fatigue and focus under stress. Your HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) system regulates this response, including cortisol release. Research with a standardised extract found a reduced waking cortisol response in adults with stress-related fatigue. It does not add fuel; it helps you hold your composure while you spend it.
| Ingredient | Why this form | What the research measured | Study design |
|---|---|---|---|
Nicotinamide Riboside | A precursor shown to raise NAD+ in human studies. | Blood NAD+ increased 51% from baseline at day 14 with 300 mg daily in overweight, otherwise healthy adults. Conze et al., 2019 | Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled. |
Acetyl-L-Carnitine | The acetylated form studied for mental fatigue and attention. | Reported mental fatigue improved over 24 weeks in the ALCAR group, in adults with chronic fatigue syndrome. Vermeulen & Scholte, 2004 · 2,000 mg/day | Randomised, open-label comparison. |
Rhodiola Rosea | Standardised root extract with defined levels of key actives. | Improved attention and fatigue, with a lower waking cortisol response after 28 days in adults with stress-related fatigue. Olsson et al., 2009 · SHR-5, 576 mg/day | Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled. |
