Green-tea caffeine
Natural caffeine from green tea for a cleaner, less edgy lift.
- Moderate dose around ~80 mg per bar.*
- Pairs with L-theanine for calmer alertness.

How Vero fuels steady focus
Vero is built around a simple idea: keep the good parts of caffeine (alertness, motivation) and smooth out the spike, jitters and crash – using green-tea caffeine, L-theanine, electrolytes and adaptogens.
The curve, not just the caffeine
Coffee and energy drinks hit hard, then dip. Vero uses a lower, smoother caffeine dose plus L-theanine to stretch the focus window and make the experience feel more controlled.
- Fast ramp so you actually feel it.
- Flattened peak to reduce anxiety and jitteriness.
- Slower decline, so you don’t crash mid-afternoon.
Illustrative only – curves show the idea, not lab data.
The stack behind the bar
We didn’t invent new molecules. We combined ingredients with decades of research behind focus, mood and performance – in a format you can throw in a bag and eat anywhere.
L-theanine
Tea-derived amino acid that helps blunt jitters and supports clear, steady focus.
- Helps reduce the “wired but tired” feeling.
- Works best alongside a sensible caffeine dose.
Electrolytes
Mild dehydration wrecks concentration. A small electrolyte blend helps you keep up.
- Sodium, potassium and magnesium.
- Everyday levels – not a salty sports drink.
Adaptogen support
Carefully selected adaptogens (e.g. rhodiola / ashwagandha – exact stack depends on testing) to help you handle stressy days.
- Targets perceived fatigue more than “hype”.
- Supports balance, not stimulation.
*All values are pre-launch targets and may change as we finalise the recipe.
How it should feel in real life
Science is cool, but Vero has one job: help you stay dialled in on the stuff that matters, without feeling cracked out or destroyed afterwards.
Wake up without whiplash
Smooth lift; you notice you’re more “on”, not suddenly buzzing.
- Good for morning classes or pre-work boost.
- No shaky hands while you type.
Deep-work window
Energy stays steady; pairing caffeine with real nutrition means your brain has something to run on.
- Great for exams, projects and long focus blocks.
- Less tempted to snack every 20 minutes.
Less post-caffeine regret
The goal is to close your laptop and still feel like a human, not a zombie with a sugar crash.
- Milder comedown vs heavy coffees or energy drinks.
- Protein & fiber help bridge the gap between meals.
Science in real life
Vero isn’t a lab experiment. It’s meant for actual messy days – libraries, gyms, late trains and group projects that go on way too long.

Quick questions
If we were sitting with you in the kitchen, this is what we’d expect you to ask.
Is this meant to replace coffee?
Not necessarily. For some people Vero is the main caffeine source; others use it to avoid an extra coffee or a sugary drink.
Will you share more data?
As we finalise the recipe, we’ll share more about exact doses and internal testing so you can see how we made those decisions.
What about tolerance?
If you’re very caffeine-sensitive, start with half a bar. If you drink a lot of coffee, you’ll still feel it – but in a calmer way.
