I enjoy the format more than I expected. I would have preferred a slightly different flavour balance.

Wake contains caffeine and may not suit people sensitive to it.
Pâte de fruit, not a gummy
Made the way French fruit confectionery is made: cooked, slabbed, then cut. What feels like a guilty indulgence is actually powering your day, with a touch of delicious style.
Your caffeine. Your measure.
Chew 1–4 pastilles across the day, whenever you need them, starting with one to understand how it suits you.
Each pastille contains 50 mg caffeine (a little less than a shot of espresso) and 100 mg L-theanine (here's the fun part). Four pastilles provide 200 mg caffeine in total.
Count coffee, tea, energy drinks and other caffeine sources alongside Wake. Take it earlier in your waking day and avoid it close to your intended bedtime.
Do not exceed four pastilles daily. Follow the final product label.
Contains caffeine. Not recommended for children or pregnant women. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

The science75+years of research behind every pastille
From the day L-theanine was first found in Japanese tea leaves to modern human trials of caffeine and L-theanine together, our formulas start with published research, not trends.
- 1949
L-theanine is discovered
Japanese scientists identify L-theanine in gyokuro tea leaves, the amino acid that sets tea apart from coffee.
- 1956
Citicoline is described
Biochemist Eugene Kennedy describes CDP-choline, now one of the most studied compounds in brain health research.
- 2008
The 1:2 pairing is tested
Human trials combine 50mg caffeine with 100mg L-theanine. The same dose sits in every Wake pastille.
- 2026
Set in pâte de fruit
Botanic Molecules sets the studied ratio in a French pâte de fruit, the first performance pastille of its kind.
Research refers to published studies on the individual ingredients and their combination.

Wake works on two timelines: the lift you feel today, and the benefits that build with daily use.
Within 20–45 minutes: the natural caffeine starts to lift you, while L-theanine, the amino acid found in tea leaves, keeps it smooth and level. You feel switched on, not wired.
Over 2–4 weeks of daily use: this is where the rest of the formula comes in. Citicoline has been studied for its role in attention, focus and memory, with research based on weeks of consistent daily use, not single doses. Ceremonial matcha is rich in catechins, plant compounds studied for their antioxidant properties. And vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Wake gives you a lift on day one and works better the longer you take it, so make it part of your routine.
-
Typically 4–6 hours per pastille. Because each one is a measured 50mg, you can top up later in the day instead of front-loading one big coffee.
-
That’s exactly why Wake pairs every 50mg of caffeine with 100mg of L-theanine, the amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, in the ratio used in research surrounding jitters. Small, measured doses mean no sudden spike from one oversized coffee.
-
It’s the lift without the ritual. No queue, no £4 flat white, no coffee breath, and nothing to spill. One pastille is about half a mug of filter coffee, so you decide exactly how much you take.
-
Of course. Just count it towards your daily caffeine: most healthy adults should stay under 400mg a day from all sources. A typical mug of coffee has around 100mg.
-
Yes, and that’s how you’ll get the most from it. Wake is made for daily use, at doses in line with research. The lift arrives on day one, but the deeper benefits come with consistency. Citicoline’s role in attention and focus, B12’s contribution to reducing tiredness and fatigue, and the steady support of matcha and L-theanine were all studied over weeks of regular use, not single days.
Make it part of your morning, like your first glass of water or opening the blinds, not something you save for a tough day. The more consistently you take it, the more it gives back.
-
We’d generally suggest not. Caffeine stays in your system for hours (it takes around 5 hours for your body to clear half of it).
However we do acknowledge some days don’t finish at 5pm: a late deadline, a long drive, an evening flight or a night shift. That’s where Wake’s measured dose helps. Instead of a full coffee, take a single pastille for just enough of a lift to see you through, and count it towards your maximum of 4 a day. When the work is done, there’s Rest.
-
If even a small coffee affects you, Wake probably isn’t the right choice. If you’re mildly sensitive, start with a single pastille and see how you feel. Wake makes that easy because every dose is small and precise.
-
Check with your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you take medication for blood pressure or a heart condition, ADHD or other stimulants, antidepressants, or certain antibiotics, as these can interact with caffeine.
-
Each jar holds 60 pastilles: a month at two a day, or around two weeks at the full four. Keep your jar topped up with refills, and subscribe and never run out.
-
No. Energy is where it starts, but Wake is built for how you feel through the day too: clear, focused and in a good mood.
- Caffeine has been studied for its effects on alertness and mood, not just wakefulness.
- L-theanine, the amino acid found in tea leaves, has been studied for calm, relaxed focus. It’s why matcha feels different from coffee.
- Citicoline has been studied for its role in attention and focus.
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
It’s not just more energy, but better days & lifestyles.
-
No. You can buy our products as a one-off, or subscribe and save on every refill. There’s no commitment either way.
