How it works.
Take daily, in the morning
One scoop (27g) with 300–400ml cold water. Ideally with food.
Mix and drink
Shakes clean. Tastes like yuzu and ginger. No chalky residue. No weird smell.
Build the baseline
Consistent daily intake is how nutrients compound. Most people quit before they feel anything. Don't.
Contains ~66mg caffeine from matcha. Not recommended in the afternoon for caffeine-sensitive individuals.
Natural matcha
Replace the crash.
Replace the crash.
Keep the ritual.
Your morning coffee is a ritual worth protecting. Kōjō includes natural matcha — ~66mg caffeine plus L-theanine plus EGCG. Sustained energy without the spike. No crash at 3pm. One scoop replaces the second coffee that was never doing you any favours.
See the full formula~66mg
Natural caffeine per serving
A soft espresso equivalent. Enough to sharpen, not enough to spike.
L-Theanine
Paired with caffeine
The amino acid in matcha that smooths the caffeine curve. Calm focus, not jitter.
No crash
Sustained all afternoon
Slower caffeine release profile. Level energy — not a peak followed by a cliff.
Second coffee
- Cortisol spike within 30 min
- Adenosine masked, not cleared
- Energy cliff by 2pm
- Disrupted sleep architecture
One scoop of Kōjō
- ~66mg caffeine + L-theanine: no cortisol spike
- EGCG supports cerebral blood flow
- 46 ingredients at clinical doses
- No adenosine debt. Sleep intact.
Formula Transparency
NOTHING IS HIDDEN
Every ingredient named. Every dose published. Every batch verified by Certificate of Analysis. This is what most supplements won't show you.
Our Story
We built this for ourselves first.
Tom spent years in the clinical literature — not as a practitioner, but as someone the category kept failing. Ash spent a decade in IT: high cognitive load, long hours, the kind of environment that depletes you slowly and refuses to announce itself. Both hit the same wall. Low energy, brain fog, supplements that looked credible on the label and did nothing in the body.
Tom had the science. Ash had the scepticism. Neither of them was an influencer. Neither licensed a white-label formula. Together, they built what neither could find on the market: every ingredient listed, every dose justified by published research, nothing behind a proprietary blend.
What people are actually saying.
"I've tried AG1, Huel, three different multivitamins. Nothing stuck. This is the first supplement where I actually notice a difference after 3 weeks. The fact that every ingredient is listed with the dose — that's what sold me."
"Two kids under 5, full-time job. I was running on empty. I was sceptical because every supplement says the same things. But the ingredient transparency and the fact that the founders actually use it daily — I decided to try. Month three now. I'm not going back."
"I'm the person who reads every label and dismisses 99% of supplements. This is the 1%. The doses are real. Niacinamide at 500mg, Creatine at 5g, Ubiquinol not ubiquinone — someone actually did their homework."
Individual results may vary.

High cortisol levels and sleep...
High cortisol levels and sleep: what the evidence shows Cortisol and sleep have an inverse relationship that's well-documented: cortisol should be at its lowest around midnight and peak roughly 30 minutes after waking. When that rhythm breaks down — cortisol staying elevated into the evening — sleep onset delays, slow-wave...

High cortisol levels and sleep: what the data shows
Elevated evening cortisol is one of the better-documented drivers of poor sleep quality. A 2021 study of 2,672 adults found that higher late-day salivary cortisol correlated with significantly shorter sleep duration and worse subjective sleep quality. The mechanism isn't mysterious — cortisol is an arousal hormone, and when it's circulating...

Magnesium Supplements UK — The Complete Guide to Forms and Evidence
Magnesium: forms, doses, and what the evidence shows Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, yet an estimated 10–30% of the UK population falls short of the reference nutrient intake. The evidence for supplementation is genuinely solid in some areas — sleep, blood pressure, muscle function — and considerably...
