THE BRIGHT AWAKE ADD-ON
1. WHO NEEDS THE BRIGHT AWAKE ADDON?
Do you wake up in the morning and still feel tired? Do you drag yourself through the day and wish you could 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! So that you can start the day fresh and awake in the future, no longer struggling to fight off that midday slump, but instead stay mentally fit, we've developed our newest product. 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 your personal needs. Therefore, we have extensively studied 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
Wake up, stay 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 its caffeine, but want to cut down? Then choose the version with unbound caffeine! Unbound caffeine is the active ingredient found in regular coffee. "Unbound" is a bit misleading, as it is still bound to a so-called "chlorogenic acid potassium complex." However, upon 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 perfect for you.
Some people experience unpleasant symptoms after drinking coffee, such as sweating, trembling, nervousness, or even gastrointestinal discomfort. This can be due to the rapid onset of unbound caffeine. Bright Awake capsules without unbound caffeine are ideal for these individuals. The caffeine is present in bound form in guarana and matcha. They also promote concentration and help combat tiredness and fatigue, all without causing the aforementioned unpleasant symptoms. Bright Awake capsules contain no unbound caffeine, but instead contain a high concentration of guarana extract, which is known as a natural "wake-in" and increases performance for several hours. Its effects take longer to kick in than caffeine, but last longer, thus guaranteeing a longer-term positive effect on cognitive abilities.
2. INTAKE, RECOMMENDATIONS && WARNINGS
Intake
Take the Bright Awake capsule in the morning along with your Dailybacs. If tiredness and fatigue set in, you can take 1-2 more capsules at any time throughout the day. Do not exceed the maximum daily intake of 3 capsules.

3. INGREDIENTS
Two versions. One effect. Your energy boost.
Version with unbound caffeine
unbound caffeine
→ After ingestion and release in the stomach, unbound caffeine triggers the release of the two hormones cortisol and adrenaline, as well as other neurotransmitters, partly through the inhibition of adenosine. This stimulates the nervous system and metabolism, and increases cardiac activity. Caffeine therefore leads to an overall reduction in fatigue. Furthermore, it has a stimulating effect on the mind and increases drive and motivation.
Guarana
→ Guarana is known as a natural "wake-up agent." It provides energy, reduces fatigue, and increases performance thanks to its caffeine content. Unlike the caffeine found in coffee, however, the caffeine in guarana has a significantly longer-lasting effect, although its effects take longer to take effect, thus increasing performance and concentration for several hours.
L-Theanine (Matcha)
→ L-theanine, also known colloquially as matcha, helps reduce stress while promoting a relaxed and calm mental state without causing drowsiness. L-theanine leads to increased activity of alpha brain waves, which are associated with a relaxed state. This improves brain performance, enhances concentration and memory, and simultaneously 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
→ Maca root is rich in calcium and potassium and contains many essential trace elements such as iron, zinc, iodine, copper, and manganese. Maca root powder therefore has a revitalizing effect and helps with chronic fatigue. The iron and vitamin B6 it contains, in particular, reduce fatigue and increase energy levels.

What else is in it?
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. Therefore, it is so important to consume sufficient amounts of vitamin B12. Taking B12 supports the body's energy production and thus reduces tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B12 also supports brain function, thus increasing performance.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is a versatile vitamin because it strengthens nerves and the body's immune system. Neurotransmitters are needed for normal brain function. Vitamin B6 helps in the production of these neurotransmitters, 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 feelings of fatigue.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 can increase mental performance and counteract fatigue because it is a precursor to 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 daily.
Curcumin extract
Curcumin has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and its chemical structure allows it to neutralize and neutralize free radicals. This counteracts cardiovascular diseases, for example. Furthermore, taking curcumin extract promotes cognitive health. Curcumin is able to bind beta-amyloid and thus reduce the formation of harmful beta-amyloid plaques. Excessively high beta-amyloid levels can negatively impact 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. It also supports 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 vision.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
Vitamin B1 is particularly important for energy metabolism and helps in the production of energy from carbohydrates. It is therefore very important for mental fitness and concentration. The body can only store small amounts of vitamin B1 and therefore requires a regular intake.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
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 fitness and mental concentration. Furthermore, vitamin B2 is necessary for special proteins in the lens of the eye and reduces the risk of cataracts. As if that weren't enough, it also supports vitamin B6 in strengthening nerves and the body's immune system.
4.CAN THE ADD-ON BE COMBINED WITH OTHER MYBACS PRODUCTS?
Taking the add-ons simultaneously for a short period of time is not a problem. For longer-term use, it is important to decide individually which add-ons can be taken in addition to Dailybacs and Dietbacs. It is important to adhere to the NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of the ingredients, i.e., the daily recommended intake.
