Understanding AVRO

What is AVRO?

AVRO is a calm-first daily drink mix designed to support calm, clarity, focus, and steady energy before pressure-sensitive moments.*

How is AVRO different from an energy drink or electrolyte powder?

Traditional energy drinks are built primarily around stimulation. Electrolyte powders are built primarily to replace minerals lost through sweat. AVRO is different: it is a calm-first functional drink mix. Every formula delivers 200 mg of naturally fermented GABA from PharmaGABA®, then adds targeted support—magnesium bisglycinate in Calm, Cognigrape® in Focus, or 120 mg of natural caffeine in Energy. AVRO also includes a prebiotic fiber blend, but it is not positioned as a full electrolyte-replacement product.*

What does “Calm Performance” mean?

Calm Performance is AVRO’s approach to showing up ready when pressure rises. Instead of starting with more stimulation, every AVRO formula starts with naturally fermented PharmaGABA® to support a calm, clear and composed headspace.* Calm is not the opposite of performance. It is often the starting point for performing closer to your ability under pressure.

What should I expect to feel after taking AVRO?

Think steady, not sedated. Many people describe feeling calmer, clearer and more composed rather than dramatically altered. Calm is the gentlest experience, Focus is designed for clear-headed attention without caffeine, and Energy adds a noticeable lift from 120 mg of natural caffeine. Individual responses vary, and AVRO is designed to support your state—not create a buzz.*

Will AVRO make me feel sleepy or groggy?

AVRO is designed to support calm without drowsiness or grogginess.* Calm and Focus are caffeine free, but they are intended for daytime composure and clarity—not sedation. Everyone responds differently, so try your first serving when you can assess how it feels for you.

How quickly should I expect to feel AVRO?

Most people use AVRO 20 to 30 minutes before the moment they want to support. Human research on oral GABA has measured absorption and changes in relaxation-related markers within approximately 30 to 60 minutes. The exact timing and how noticeable it feels will vary by person, formula, meal timing and caffeine sensitivity.*

How long do the effects typically last?

There is no single guaranteed duration. The experience varies with the formula, your body, food intake, caffeine tolerance and the demands of the moment. AVRO is designed to support a useful window around the activity ahead; Energy may feel more noticeable and last longer because it contains 120 mg of caffeine. Start with one serving and learn how your chosen formula fits your routine.*

Choosing Your Formula

Which formula is right for me?

Choose Calm for caffeine-free composure, Focus for caffeine-free clarity support, or Energy for steady energy with 120 mg natural caffeine.*

What is the difference between Calm, Focus, and Energy?

Calm supports caffeine-free composure, Focus supports caffeine-free clarity and focus, and Energy supports steady energy with 120 mg natural caffeine.*

Which formulas are caffeine free?

Calm and Focus are caffeine free.

When should I take AVRO?

Mix one stick with water and drink about 30 minutes before your pressure moment.

Can I take AVRO every day?

AVRO can fit into a daily routine. Choose your formula based on timing, caffeine preference, and your moment.

Can I switch formulas depending on the day?

Yes. That is exactly how the system is designed. Choose Calm when you want caffeine-free composure, Focus when you want caffeine-free clarity and attention support, and Energy when you want a calm-first foundation plus 120 mg of natural caffeine.*

Can I take more than one AVRO formula in the same day?

AVRO formulas share the same 200 mg PharmaGABA® foundation, so do not automatically stack them. If you want to use more than one formula in a day, consider your total intake—especially caffeine from Energy—and check with a qualified healthcare professional if you are unsure.

How many AVRO sticks can I take in one day?

Use one stick as one serving and follow the directions on the package. If you are considering more than one serving in a day, speak with a qualified healthcare professional—particularly if one serving is Energy or you also consume coffee, pre workout or other caffeine.

Can I take AVRO on an empty stomach?

Yes, many people can take AVRO with or without food. If you have a sensitive stomach or are new to prebiotic fiber, try it with food first and see how your body responds.

How much water should I mix with one stick?

Mix one stick with 8 to 12 oz (approximately 240 to 355 mL) of cold water. Use less water for a stronger flavor or more for a lighter taste. Stir or shake until fully dissolved.

What flavors does each formula come in?

Calm: Blueberry Açaí and Blackberry Jasmine. Focus: Pomegranate Raspberry and Red Dragon Fruit. Energy: Orange Tangerine and Fuji Apple.

How many sticks come in each box?

Each AVRO box contains 10 single-serving stick packets.

Ingredients + Formulation

What is PharmaGABA®?

PharmaGABA® is a naturally fermented form of GABA used in every AVRO formula as part of AVRO's calm-first foundation.

What are the key active ingredients in each formula?

Every formula begins with 250 mg of PharmaGABA® raw material, delivering 200 mg of active naturally fermented GABA. Calm adds 850 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, yielding 100 mg of elemental magnesium. Focus adds 250 mg of Cognigrape® red grape extract. Energy adds 120 mg of natural caffeine. All three also include a prebiotic fiber blend made with soluble guar fiber and acacia fiber.*

What is the difference between 250 mg of PharmaGABA® and 200 mg of active GABA?

PharmaGABA® is the branded ingredient as supplied, while active GABA is the amount of GABA it delivers. AVRO uses 250 mg of PharmaGABA® raw material per serving to provide 200 mg of active naturally fermented GABA. The 200 mg active amount is the figure shown in AVRO’s consumer-facing ingredient callouts.

What does magnesium bisglycinate do in AVRO Calm?

Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function. AVRO uses magnesium bisglycinate, a chelated form selected for a calm, everyday formula and paired with PharmaGABA® to support a composed, clear-headed state.*

Why does Calm contain 850 mg of magnesium bisglycinate but provide 100 mg of magnesium?

The 850 mg refers to the full magnesium-bisglycinate compound, which includes magnesium bound to glycine. The 100 mg figure is the elemental magnesium—the actual amount of magnesium the compound provides and the amount used to calculate Daily Value.

What is Cognigrape® and why is it included in AVRO Focus?

Cognigrape® is a standardized red grape extract supported by human research on cognitive function. AVRO Focus includes 250 mg alongside PharmaGABA® to support clear thinking, sustained attention and mental clarity without caffeine.*

Where does the caffeine in AVRO Energy come from?

AVRO Energy uses 120 mg of natural, plant-derived caffeine per stick—about the amount in a strong cup of coffee. It is paired with AVRO’s PharmaGABA® foundation to deliver calm-first energy that feels steady and focused rather than simply adding more stimulation.*

Does AVRO contain electrolytes?

AVRO Calm provides 100 mg of magnesium, which is an electrolyte mineral. However, AVRO is not designed or positioned as a complete electrolyte-replacement powder. Its primary purpose is calm-first support for composure, clarity, focus or steady energy.*

Does AVRO contain sugar?

AVRO is positioned as sugar free and uses stevia at 2% or less for a clean, balanced finish.

Why does AVRO include prebiotic fiber?

AVRO includes Soluble Guar Fiber and acacia fiber as part of its formula foundation and daily-use system.

Is AVRO vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO?

Yes. AVRO is vegan, gluten free and non-GMO. It is also dairy free and made without added sugar, artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols.

Does AVRO contain any major allergens?

No major allergens are declared on the current AVRO labels. Always review the ingredient list on your package, particularly if you have a severe allergy or sensitivity, because flavors and manufacturing information can change.

Is every batch of AVRO third-party tested?

Yes. AVRO states that its products are third-party tested for purity and potency and produced in a GMP-certified facility.

Why is non-GMO modified corn starch included in AVRO?

It is included in a small amount to help the product mix well and stay consistent from serving to serving. It is not one of AVRO's primary active ingredients.

Science + Transparency

What research supports PharmaGABA®?

PharmaGABA® has been studied in published human research examining relaxation, stress-related biomarkers, brain-wave activity and cognitive measures. Studies have reported increased alpha-wave activity and reduced beta-wave activity during relaxation testing, as well as changes in markers associated with normal everyday stress, including salivary chromogranin A and cortisol. Other human work has measured oral GABA absorption within approximately 30 minutes. These studies support the ingredient; they should not be read as a guarantee that every person will feel the same effect from a finished AVRO product.*

Safety

Are there any potential side effects?

AVRO is generally designed for everyday adult use, but individual responses vary. Prebiotic fiber or magnesium may cause temporary digestive discomfort in some people. Energy contains 120 mg of caffeine and may cause restlessness, a faster heartbeat, headache or difficulty sleeping in caffeine-sensitive users. Stop use and seek medical advice if you experience an unexpected or persistent reaction.

Can I take AVRO with other supplements?

Often, yes, but check for overlapping ingredients. Pay particular attention to total caffeine, magnesium and GABA from all products you use. If you take several supplements or are unsure about a combination, ask a qualified healthcare professional.

Can I take AVRO if I use medication or manage a medical condition?

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using AVRO if you take medication or manage a medical condition. Bring the package or Supplement Facts panel so they can review the exact formula, including caffeine in AVRO Energy.

Can I take AVRO while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Consult your healthcare professional before using AVRO while pregnant or breastfeeding. AVRO Energy contains 120 mg of caffeine, which must be counted toward your total daily caffeine intake.

I am sensitive to stimulants. Which formula should I choose?

Choose Calm or Focus. Both are caffeine free. Calm is the gentlest option for composure, while Focus is designed for clear-headed attention without stimulant energy.*

Is it okay to take AVRO Energy later in the day?

That depends on your caffeine sensitivity and bedtime. Energy contains 120 mg of caffeine, and caffeine can remain active for hours. If caffeine affects your sleep, use Energy earlier and choose caffeine-free Calm or Focus later in the day.

Can I drink AVRO with alcohol?

AVRO is not designed to counteract alcohol or make drinking safer. If you choose to drink alcohol, do not use AVRO to mask
impairment. AVRO also works well on its own as an alcohol-free social drink or
mocktail base.

Can I take AVRO with coffee?

Consider your total caffeine intake, especially with AVRO Energy. People who are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a medical condition, or caffeine sensitive should consult a healthcare professional before use.

Is AVRO intended for children?

AVRO products are intended for adults.
