What is magnesium?
Magnesium is an essential mineral required for hundreds of functions in the body and the brain.
We use the only form of magnesium (magnesium L-threonate) shown to enter the brain, where it helps make the brain’s feel good neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine.
What new beverage category is emerging, and explain why?
The Relaxation category.
- Consumers are feeling more stressed and anxious- looking for ways to feel better
- They want new and healthier ways to relax and de-stress throughout the day
- Caffeine + alcohol are what people traditionally use to deal with stress – caffeine to give us the energy to power through the day and alcohol to help take the edge off at the end of the day – but increasingly consumers are looking to replace some of those occasions with beverages that help them relax in new, healthier ways
How does Recess Mood work? What does it do?
Recess Mood combines mood lifting magnesium and balancing adaptogens to calm the mind and lift the mood.
Main ingredient is Magnesium L-threonate. It’s the only form of magnesium that actually can get into your brain, helping your brain make neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) which are responsible for making you feel good. No other beverage on the market is using this form of magnesium in RTD.
Our magnesium blend is also combined with adaptogen herbs (RTD = ginseng, lemon balm, L-theanine; Powder = passion flower, L-theanine) that ease stress and boosts mental clarity.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are essential minerals—like sodium, calcium, and potassium—that are vital to many key functions in the body. Among other things, electrolytes regulate muscle contractions, keep you hydrated and control nervous system function.
