Japan-based ingredients maker Kyowa Hakko Bio has introduced a new performance coffee supplement, dubbed Work Epic, to enhance the daily coffee experience.

The company said its Work Epic is designed to easily integrate with everyday routines to support focused attention, healthy brain function, and athletic stamina.

Unlike other products, the new athletic performance coffee supplement features a blend of premium ingredients such as Cognizin, a cognitive enhancer (nootropic).

Nootropics are generally used by people to improve memory, enhance concentration and boost energy levels and wakefulness.

Kyowa Hakko said that Cognizin differs from other ingredients by showing effectiveness in boosting cognitive functions, mental energy, focus, attention, and overall brain health.

Kyowa Hakko, USA global brand marketing vice president Karen Todd said: “It’s our commitment to integrate products such as Work Epic’s Performance Coffee into our more than 200 supplements and functional beverages that trust Cognizin to support focus, attention, and memory, offering ingredients for innovative, high-quality formulations that enrich both work life and physical pursuits is how we help positively impacting people’s lives.”

The new performance coffee supplement, which can be mixed directly into a cup of coffee for easy use, also contains PrimaVie Shilajit in its ingredients.

Kyowa Hakko said that Work Epic with Cognizin is a vegan product, ethically manufactured in a GMP-certified facility, and third-party tested for reducing bitterness, acidity, and jitters.

Also, Cognizin is a branded form of Citicoline, a natural substance endogenously produced in the brain that plays a key role in neural communication and overall brain health.

Cognizin is made through a fermentation process and is clinically validated to support focus, attention, and memory, and is also highly stable, GRAS, ultra-pure, and allergen-free.

Work Epic founder Caden Fredrickson said: “At Work Epic, we aim to build a community of individuals inspired by adventure and driven by hard work.

“Our new coffee supplement is designed to support and enhance the capabilities of those striving to achieve extraordinary feats.”
