THE BRIGHT AWAKE ADDON
1. WHO NEEDS THE BRIGHT AWAKE ADDON?
Do you wake up in the morning and are still tired? Do you drag yourself through the day and would prefer to take one nap after another? Do you want to avoid coffee and other caffeinated drinks, but can't find an equivalent alternative for your daily energy boost that helps you concentrate?
Then we have something new for you! We have developed our latest product so that you can start the day fresh and awake in the future and no longer have to fight back the midday slump during the day, but instead stay mentally fit. Because at mybacs, our mission is to find solutions to the everyday problems that stand in the way of your well-being. Our top priority is to be able to respond even more intensively to all of your personal needs. That is why we have looked extensively at the influence of the sleep-wake rhythm on health and well-being. The result is our new add-on Bright Awake.
Helps against:
tiredness, lack of energy, fatigue, brain fog
Good for
Waking up, staying awake, concentration, focus, energy
Because we want to fully cater to your individual needs, we have two different versions of our Bright Awake for you. Do you love coffee for the caffeine, but want to reduce your coffee consumption? Then choose the version with unbound caffeine! Unbound caffeine is the active ingredient contained in regular coffee. "Unbound" is a little misleading, as it is still bound to a so-called "chlorogenic acid-potassium complex". However, when it comes into contact with stomach acid, the caffeine is released directly. This induces a strong and fast effect. So if you want a strong start to your day, the version with unbound caffeine is just right for you.
Some people notice unpleasant symptoms after drinking coffee, such as sweating, shaking, nervousness or even gastrointestinal problems. This can be due to the rapid effect of unbound caffeine. For these people, Bright Awake capsules without unbound caffeine are ideal. Here, the caffeine is in bound form in guarana and matcha. They also promote concentration and help against tiredness and exhaustion, all without causing the annoying symptoms mentioned above. Bright Awake capsules do not contain unbound caffeine, but instead contain more guarana extract, which is known as a natural "wake-up agent" and increases performance over a period of several hours. Its effect takes longer to take effect than caffeine, but lasts longer, thus guaranteeing a longer-term positive effect on cognitive abilities.

3. INGREDIENTS
Two versions. One effect. Your energy boost.
version with unbound caffeine
unbound caffeine
→ After ingestion and release in the stomach, unbound caffeine leads to the release of the two hormones cortisol and adrenaline and other neurotransmitters, also by inhibiting adenosine. This stimulates the nervous system and metabolism and increases heart activity. Caffeine therefore leads to a reduced state of tiredness overall. In addition, it has a stimulating effect on the psyche and increases one's own drive and motivation.
Guarana
→ Guarana is known as a natural “wake-up agent”. It provides energy, reduces tiredness and increases performance thanks to the caffeine it contains. Unlike the caffeine in coffee, however, the caffeine in guarana has a much longer effect, even if the effect takes longer to take hold, and thus increases performance and concentration for several hours.
L-Theanine (Matcha)
→ L-theanine, also known colloquially as matcha, helps to reduce stress and at the same time promotes a relaxed and calm mental state without causing fatigue. L-theanine leads to an increased activity of alpha brain waves, which are associated with a relaxed state. This improves brain performance, increases concentration and memory performance and at the same time brightens the mood.
When combined with caffeine, L-theanine counteracts the “negative” effects of caffeine such as nervousness and restlessness, thus increasing cognitive performance while reducing fatigue.
maca root powder
→ The Maca root is rich in calcium and potassium and contains many essential trace elements such as iron, zinc, iodine, copper and manganese. This means that the powder of the Maca root has a vitalizing effect and helps with chronic fatigue. In particular, the iron and vitamin B6 it also contains reduce fatigue and increase energy levels.

What else is in there?
vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is one of the vitamins that the human body cannot produce itself. It is involved in energy metabolism, the development of nerve cells and the formation of red blood cells. This is why it is so important to consume sufficient amounts of vitamin B12. Taking B12 supports the body's energy production and thus reduces tiredness and exhaustion. Vitamin B12 also supports brain function and thus increases performance.
vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is a versatile vitamin because it strengthens nerves and the body's immune system. Messenger substances (neurotransmitters) are needed for normal brain function. Vitamin B6 helps in the production of these messenger substances such as dopamine and serotonin. But that's not all, vitamin B6 is also involved in the formation of the red blood pigment hemoglobin and can reduce the feeling of tiredness.
vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 can increase mental performance and counteract fatigue because vitamin B5 is a precursor of coenzyme A. Coenzyme A can increase resistance to stress and helps the body release energy from sugar and fats.
Therefore, vitamin B5 is essential for converting food into energy. However, it cannot be stored in the body and must therefore be consumed every day.
curcumin extract
Curcumin has a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect and, due to its chemical structure, can neutralize free radicals and thus render them harmless. This counteracts cardiovascular diseases, for example. In addition, taking curcumin extract promotes cognitive health. Curcumin is able to bind beta-amyloid and thus reduce the formation of harmful beta-amyloid plaques. Too high a beta-amyloid level can have a negative impact on the health of brain function.
Green tea extract (epigallocatechins-3-gallate (EGCG))
Green tea extract counteracts mental and physical fatigue and prevents stress by inhibiting the chemical conversion of the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, it supports the metabolism and has a positive effect on heart and brain health.
vitamin A
Vitamin A helps maintain the protective functions of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs. In its converted form, retinal, it is also responsible for the process of vision.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
Vitamin B1 is particularly important for energy metabolism and helps to generate energy from carbohydrates. It is therefore very important for mental fitness and mental concentration. The body can only store small amounts of vitamin B1 and therefore needs a regular supply.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
Just like vitamin B1, vitamin B2 is involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates in the muscles, brain and other organs. It is therefore also essential for mental condition and mental concentration. In addition, vitamin B2 is necessary for special proteins in the lens of the eye and reduces the risk of clouding of the lens. And that's not all, it also supports vitamin B6 in strengthening nerves and the body's own defenses.
4. CAN THE ADDON BE COMBINED WITH OTHER MYBACS PRODUCTS?
Taking the add-ons at the same time for a short period of time is not a problem. If you take them for a longer period of time, you have to decide individually which add-ons you can take in addition to the Dailybacs and Dietbacs. It is important to stick to the NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of the ingredients, i.e. the daily guideline values.
