Each active is grouped by its primary mechanism — Energy, Focus, Clarity, or Endurance. Select a pillar to see every ingredient in that group, with its dose, mechanism, and the peer-reviewed study supporting it.
Combined rapid-onset and slow-release caffeine, paired with the amino acids, B vitamins, and mitochondrial cofactors, provides sustained energy. No excessive stimulation or afternoon crash.
Naturally-sourced caffeine from the Amazonian guayusa leaf — a cleaner, gentler lift than synthetic.
Buffered caffeine bonded to malic acid. Smoother onset, longer plateau, gentler on the stomach than caffeine anhydrous.
Pairs with caffeine to support mental performance, mood, and the cellular hydration that keeps both alive.
Helps cells convert fat into clean, steady mental energy. The mitochondrial side of cognition.
Standardized to mangiferin. Clinically studied to sharpen mental speed, attention, and working memory.
Anti-inflammatory rhizome. Supports working memory and helps the gut tolerate the rest of the panel.
Cellular NAD production. Clean, sustained alertness without the flush — the buffered form does the work quietly.
Nerve health and steady mental energy. Most desk workers run subclinically low; the brain fog often clears with B12 alone.
Citicoline at the clinical 500mg dose, combined with L-theanine, Stadice®, NALT, and active B vitamins, supports acetylcholine production and sustained attention. Clear focus without the fog.
Building blocks for sharp memory and sustained mental energy. The pivotal-trial dose — not the label-decorating amount.
Raw material the brain uses to make focus and motivation chemicals — especially valuable under acute stress.
Calm, focused attention. Smooths the jittery edge off caffeine and produces the α-wave state of relaxed alertness.
Neurotransmitter production. Mood, energy, and clear thinking all run through B6 — quietly, behind the scenes.
Active, brain-ready folate. Bypasses the MTHFR variants that block conversion in nearly half the population.
The brain uses glucose more efficiently. Steady workday energy, fewer afternoon dips.
Healthy cell membranes. Supports synaptic density and the neuron-to-neuron connections that focus is built on.
Adaptogens ashwagandha, ginseng, and rhodiola, paired with saffron and lemon balm, support a stable mood and calm, clear-headed thinking. No mental noise or scattered focus.
Lowers cortisol over weeks. Reduces stress, anxiety, and the haze that follows back-to-back meetings.
Eases mental fatigue from chronic stress. Keeps you sharp through the back half of a long week.
Pushes through long stretches of sustained cognitive effort. No mid-afternoon drag.
Steadier, more positive baseline mood. Prevents stress from derailing focus partway through the day.
Calmer thinking during stressful tasks. GABAergic without the drowsiness of conventional anxiolytics.
Steady mood and antioxidant protection. The trace mineral most desk workers are quietly running short on.
The highly absorbable form. Supports cellular energy and a calm nervous system without the laxative effect of cheaper salts.
Beta-Alanine and MitoPrime® mango leaf extract, paired with a full electrolyte stack, sustain both physical and cognitive performance for extended periods, helping limit fatigue during long work sessions.
Helps muscles resist acid buildup. Longer work blocks — physical or cognitive — without the late-stage crash.
Clinically studied L-ergothioneine. Protects mitochondria and supports cellular endurance through the workday.
Intracellular electrolyte. Supports nerve conduction and fluid balance during sustained effort.
Holds water and buffers acid. Helps you stay hydrated and clear-headed through a long meeting day.
Trace sodium and minerals. Helps the body absorb and hold onto the water you drink.
Osmolyte. Helps cells hold water under prolonged cognitive stress; supports methylation and physical output.
Absorbable zinc for immune, taste, and the cellular processes that keep cognition working across long days.
Bioavailability enhancer. Increases absorption of every other active by inhibiting hepatic first-pass metabolism.
Telos is committed to clean ingredients only. Here's what we leave out of every can, and why.
Sweet receptor activation without metabolic payoff, and potentially damaging effects to the gut microbiome.
Animal studies have raised concerns about metabolic and microbiome effects, and the long-term human safety data remains limited.
Synthetic dyes derived from petroleum, linked in studies to behavioral and inflammatory effects, and banned for cosmetic use in several European markets.
A label tactic that lists ingredients as a single combined weight, hiding the dose of each individual component. Every milligram in Telos is disclosed on the panel.
Active ingredients included at doses too low to be functional — used to inflate marketing claims rather than deliver real benefits. Telos doses every ingredient at levels the literature supports.
Cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup add calories, spike glucose, and trigger the afternoon crash. Telos lands at 20 calories using a splash of real fruit juice — no cane, no corn syrup, no fillers.
Where Telos is formulated, where it's made, and where to find the data.
Telos was built in partnership with Power Brands — a Los Angeles–based functional beverage lab whose formulations have won multiple industry awards across the cognitive, hydration, and adaptogenic categories.
