A comparison chart with the losses left in.
92% of customers would recommend Awake*

We Compared Awake To 3 Competitors. Here's Where We Lost.

Every brand's comparison chart looks the same. Their column is all ticks. Everyone else gets crosses. And you're meant to believe they marked their own homework fairly.

Ours is different. We kept the losses in. Same rules for every brand. We win most rows — not all. The ones we lose come first.

  • 3 competitors, 5 rows, same rules for all
  • We lose 2 rows. Those come first

The Scoreboard: 2 Losses, 3 Wins

1

Where We Lost: They're Older Than Us

The big names launched years before we did. More time. More reviews. More people know them. If brand age matters most to you, they win.

Our side of it: a formula doesn't get better with the age of the company. Ours was built on the newest research — not on what the category knew five years ago.

  • They win on years in business
  • We win on when the formula was built
  • You pick which one goes in your cup
2

Where We Lost: One Is Cheaper Per Cup

One competitor charges 63p a cup. We charge 74p. That's a real gap, and we won't pretend it isn't.

Here's what the extra buys. They have 2 fully dosed ingredients. We have 8. That's about 31p per working ingredient for them — and under 10p for us. Cheaper cup. Fewer things in it that work.

  • They win on price per cup
  • We win on price per working ingredient
  • Both numbers are right here. Your call
The full formula

Every Ingredient Earns Its Place

Our full column of the chart, expanded:

Lion's Mane 1000mg

The focus mushroom — at a full gram, not a garnish.

Cordyceps 1000mg

The energy mushroom, dosed like we mean it.

Citicoline 600mg

A brain nutrient most competitors skip entirely. We didn't.

L-Tyrosine 1000mg

An amino acid your brain uses on demanding days.

Ashwagandha KSM-66 360mg

The most studied form of ashwagandha, at the studied dose.

L-Theanine 200mg

The reason the caffeine behaves itself.

Inulin 3g

A prebiotic fibre for your gut. Yes, in a coffee.

Natural Caffeine 120mg

The familiar part. Roughly one regular coffee's worth.

3

Where We Won: The Doses

All 8 Awake ingredients are at study doses, printed one by one on the pack. The three competitors: 5 full doses, then 2, then 3. The rest sit inside hidden blends.

This is the row we think matters most. An underdosed ingredient is just flavouring.

  • Awake: 8 out of 8 fully dosed
  • Them: 5, 2, and 3 [VERIFY AGAINST AUDIT]
  • Every Awake dose printed. No blends
4

Where We Won: The Ingredients They Skip

Citicoline (600mg) for focus. L-Tyrosine (1000mg) for hard days. None of the three include either one.

Gut support? Also just us. Awake includes inulin — and 82% of surveyed customers felt less bloated within 14 days.*

  • Citicoline: us ✓, them ✗
  • L-Tyrosine: us ✓, them ✗
  • Gut support: us ✓, them ✗
5

Where We Won (Mostly): The Ashwagandha

We use KSM-66 at 360mg — the most studied form, at the studied dose. One competitor uses KSM-66 too. Fair play. That row is a draw.

One uses a generic extract. One just says “ashwagandha” with no form and no dose. That tells you a lot. 85% of surveyed customers felt less stressed within 14 days.*

  • KSM-66 at 360mg — the studied form
  • One competitor draws with us here. Draws stay in too
  • We only put the working ingredient in

Questions, Answered

How much caffeine is in it?

120mg per serving — roughly the same as a regular cup of coffee. The difference is the 200mg of L-Theanine alongside it, which smooths out how that caffeine lands.

Does it actually taste like coffee?

Yes — that was the brief. It comes in Coffee, Mocha, and Salted Caramel, and 90% of surveyed customers said they enjoyed the taste.* If it tasted like mushrooms, nobody would drink it twice, including us.

How do I make it?

One scoop, hot water, whisk (we send you one, free). Add milk of your choice if that's your thing. Under a minute, start to finish.

Can I still drink normal coffee?

Of course. Most customers swap their first coffee of the day for Awake and go from there. Just keep an eye on your total caffeine if you're stacking cups.

How does the subscription work?

Pick your flavour and pack size, and it arrives on a 30, 60, or 90-day cycle depending on your bundle. You can skip a delivery, swap flavours, or cancel any time from your account — no phone calls, no hoops.

Is it vegan?

Yes we are fully vegan friendly!
