The Story Behind ZONE

Balanced botanicals. Considered pairing.

ZONE is a modern interpretation of traditional clarity tonics, brought together without relying on stimulants. It combines a naturally-derived amino acid, botanical extracts, and B vitamins, chosen for how they work alongside one another rather than in isolation.

L-Theanine 

L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in tea leaves. It has been studied for its association with alpha brain-wave activity¹².

Traditional Layer: Sage Leaf Extract

Sage has a long history of traditional herbal use³. It sits alongside garden mint as part of the formulation's aromatic base, bringing depth as well as brightness.

Isomaltulose

Where most formulations rely on fast-burning sugar, ZONE uses isomaltulose (Palatinose™), a slow-release carbohydrate designed to unfold gradually rather than hit all at once.

Vitamin B6 and B12

Vitamin B6 and B12 contribute to normal function of the nervous system, normal psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Base Composition: Acacia Gum and White Grape

Acacia gum supports the structure of the formulation, functioning as a stabiliser, while white grape concentrate provides a light, clean base that brings the ingredients together without heaviness.

Aromatic Profile: Lime and Garden Mint

Lime juice and garden mint bring a clean, crisp finish, rounding out the profile with a bright, refreshed note.

The Approach

ZONE is built on balance: a considered pairing of botanicals, a naturally-derived amino acid, and B vitamins, brought together without relying on stimulants. A daytime ritual, made for the rhythm of the day.

A different kind of formulation. Steady, not stimulant-driven.
