The Science

Spring Water

PÜRCHARGE starts with natural spring water sourced from North East England, filtered through rock layers over time. This gives the drink a clean base and a neutral taste that lets the functional ingredients do their job without interference.

The water itself sets the tone: soft, still, and easy to sip - closer to premium bottled water than a processed soft drink.

🏔️ Spring water carries a natural mineral fingerprint shaped by geology, not industrial processing.

Still, Not Fizzy

PÜRCHARGE is completely still and non-carbonated. No bubbles means no pressure in the stomach, no burping mid-session, and a feel that’s closer to premium water than to a soft drink.

That makes it easier to sip during training, deep work or long drives. You get the functional stack without the “fizzy” distraction.

🥤 Still drinks are often better tolerated when you’re breathing hard or lifting heavy – your diaphragm has more room to move.

Vitamin Support Grid

Key B-vitamins (B₃, B₅, B₆, B₇, B₉, B₁₂) plus C, D₃ and E sit at around 50% NRV per can. They support energy metabolism, immune function and structural health – enough to matter in a daily drink, without tipping into megadose territory.

🧬 Fun fact: B-vitamins work like “spark plugs” in metabolism — they don’t give you energy directly, they help your body unlock it from food.

Natural Fruit Juice

Real fruit juice adds gentle colour, aroma and acidity. It brings polyphenols and organic acids that make each flavour feel alive without needing heavy concentrates or artificial colour.^[17]

Research

🍇 Berry pigments like anthocyanins don’t just look good – they also act as antioxidants in the body.

Stevia Reb M

One of the cleanest-tasting stevia fractions. It delivers high sweetness with minimal calories, which keeps sugar low and the finish light.^[26]

Research

🍃 Steviol glycosides can be hundreds of times sweeter than sugar – which is why only tiny amounts are needed.

Coconut Water Electrolytes

Provides a naturally balanced mix of potassium, sodium and magnesium. It supports normal muscle function and fluid balance without pushing sugar too high.^[1]

Research

🥥 Coconut water’s electrolyte profile is one reason it’s often called “nature’s sports drink”.

Potassium

Potassium supports normal muscle function and nerve signalling and contributes to normal blood pressure. It’s one of the main minerals your body uses to manage fluid balance inside cells.^[19]

Research

⚡ Potassium is a key “inside-the-cell” electrolyte that helps your muscles fire properly.

Zinc

Zinc supports normal immune function, DNA synthesis and cognitive function. It also contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism — useful when you’re training, working, and recovering on repeat.^[4]

Research

🧩 Zinc is involved in hundreds of enzymes - it’s small, but everywhere.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

Niacin helps convert carbohydrates and fats into usable cellular energy and supports normal function of the nervous system. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.^[6]

Research

⚡ Niacin-containing coenzymes sit at key steps in your cells’ energy production chain.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)

Supports normal psychological function and helps build neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. That makes it relevant for mood, focus and overall cognitive clarity.^[7]

Research

🧠 Whenever your body turns tryptophan into serotonin, B6 is in the room.

Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)

Contributes to normal psychological function, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal homocysteine metabolism - important for long-term cardiovascular health.^[23]

Research

🧬 Folate is heavily involved in DNA synthesis and repair – vital for fast-turnover tissues.

Vitamin C

Contributes to normal immune function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also supports collagen formation for healthy blood vessels, cartilage and skin.^[8]

Research

🍊 The shift from “mystery citrus cure” to Vitamin C was one of the earliest nutrition science wins.

Vitamin E

A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes from oxidative damage - particularly useful when you’re training hard or under stress.^[25]

Research

🛡️ Vitamin E and Vitamin C often work as a team in antioxidant defence.

Natural Caffeine

Supports increased alertness and improved concentration by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. Our 125 mg serving is a moderate dose shown to improve attention and vigilance without causing jitters.^[11]

Research

☕ It’s one of the most studied functional ingredients in human performance.

Rhodiola rosea

Adaptogenic herb traditionally used in cold, high-stress environments. Linked with support for mental performance and perceived exertion when demands stay high.^[13]

Research

🏔️ Historically used by workers and soldiers in harsh climates before “adaptogen” was a word.

Creatine Monohydrate (Brain)

Creatine helps recycle ATP more efficiently, which can support mental performance when tasks are long, intense or sleep has been short. Our 1 g dose is a low maintenance amount; meta-analyses show creatine improves memory and processing speed.^[15]

Research

🧠 Several studies now look at creatine for cognition as well as strength.

Creatine Monohydrate (1 g)

Supports increased physical performance in repeated bursts of high-intensity exercise by helping regenerate ATP between efforts. We keep it clean and usable daily.^[15]

Research

🏋️‍♂️ It’s one of the most consistently supported ingredients in sports science literature.

Natural Caffeine (125 mg)

Caffeine supports output when it matters: higher alertness, sharper reaction time, and improved performance when fatigue starts creeping in. We keep it moderate so it feels clean, not chaotic.^[11]

Research

⚡ In performance research, caffeine is one of the most repeatably effective tools per mg.

Minerals (Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Selenium)

Performance isn’t just stimulants — it’s electrical signalling, contraction, hydration gradients and recovery chemistry. This mineral layer supports the systems behind output.

🧲 These minerals are the “silent support crew” that keeps your body stable under load.
