Brain MintYou sit down and just start.
Bring on calm, happy focus in minutes and hold it for hours. Caffeine and saffron for the feel, theobromine for the length. No cup, no can, no crash.
‘Daily brain nutrition felt within minutes’
Every batch sells out. Skip the restock wait.
Sold out 12x last year. Secure yours before they're gone. Recommended: Keep one everywhere — office, home, car, bag. They'll come in very handy.
"This thing makes big tasks look so small, so it just makes me start things, and actually finish them well. It's crazy."
"Ten minutes in, my hands stopped fidgeting and I just worked."
"I finished my whole to-do list before lunch. That never happens."
"It feels like focus with a smile on. I want to start things now."
Why does the focus feel so good?
Saffron. It lifts your mood while you work.
No buzz, no high. You just feel great while you work — and the work gets done.
It feels expensive for a mint
You're not buying a regular mint. A regular mint is menthol and flavor, period. It costs pennies to make.
Each WITS mint carries saffron 30 mg, L-theanine 80 mg, caffeine 50 mg and theobromine 80 mg. Bought separately, that stack easily runs $100 a month. We are NOT kidding.
Now the real math. A WITS mint costs about a dollar. A latte costs $5, and it only wakes you up and does nothing for focus. Once you take WITS, the productivity increase you feel will leave you flabbergasted. We promise.
What is it?
A mint that melts in your mouth for fastest absorption.
It helps you start tasks instead of putting them off. Then it keeps you locked in, and feeling good, for hours.
How does it work?
Four food-derived actives, in the amounts used in studies.
Saffron — mood, and the drive to start.
L-theanine — clear, steady focus.
Caffeine — wakes you up.
Theobromine (from cocoa) — keeps it going for hours.
In short: you start instead of overthinking. Then you stay on it, with deep focus and a happy, settled feeling, for hours.
Is there a way to increase the effect?
Yes. Sleep.
Take WITS after a good night's sleep and it feels like a life hack you've never felt before.
What Brain mint
feels like
Thousands of people swear by the immediate power of WITS Brain Mint
took one around 9, looked up and it was 1pm — three tasks deep, no crash, still going strong
you know that guy who's always locked in and has his sh*t together? i feel like that guy now
holy bejesus, this thing is insane
used to slam two energy drinks and still feel scattered. this thing locks me down clean, period
What happy focus actually feels like.
You know the wired kind of focus. Heart going, leg bouncing, fifteen things to do and you still can't make yourself start one. That's not focus. That's caffeine with nowhere to put it.
WITS feels like the opposite. A few minutes after it dissolves, the noise drops and a calm settles in. A good mood, honestly.
The work sorts itself into an order, and you start. The first thing. Then the next. Then the next. Steady and almost automatic, with no itch to reach for your phone.
Focused and genuinely good, at the same time. That's the part nothing else gives you. We call it happy focus, and you feel it the first time, not a week in.
Focus?
Coffee's one-hour spike?
No.
WITS gives you
HOURS of
clean,
feel-good
focus.
Felt in minutes.
WITSWITS: focus + saffron mood
Coffee: a spike, then a crash.
Real focus isthree things.
Energy is just the first of them. Coffee gives you that one — and nothing to steer it. WITS is built for all three at once.
Activation Awake
Switched on enough to engage — the clean lift. That's the caffeine, kept deliberately low.
Pull-back Calm
L-theanine eases the edge off, so you land on the sweet spot: focused and steady, not wired.
Reward Want-to
A clinical dose of saffron helps with mood — so the work itself actually feels worth doing.
Line up all three and focus stops being a fight. You start, you stay — and you actually enjoy getting it done.
I feel like my IQ jumped
“I feel like my IQ jumped 2x. I sat down at nine and looked up at one. Four hours gone, report done. I have never done that in my life.”
Opened the file I dodged for a year
“I took one in the car before work. By the time I parked I had already opened the file I dodged for a year. It was done by lunch.”
Twelve hours, no wall
“Twelve-hour shifts. I used to hit a wall at hour eight. One mint at hour seven and the wall never comes. And I end the shift in a good mood, which scares my coworkers.”
Three weeks of reading in two days
“I had three weeks of reading I never touched. Two days with these and it was done. Not rushed. Done well. I wish I had this in high school.”
I stopped dreading 2pm
“2pm used to mean three coffees and still nothing. Now I take one mint and I am the annoying person who finishes early. My hands do not shake. I just go.”
What got into me
“I am 56. I thought slow and scattered was just age. One of these and I plow through a whole project in one sitting. My wife asked what got into me.”
“Up in minutes. Steady for hours. No cliff.”
“A sharp head and a good mood, at the same time.”
“Feel the joy of getting things done.”
Four actives. One job each.
Each one does a single job. Together they add up to calm, happy focus — not a caffeine spike.
Alert, not wired.
Caffeine brings the lift. L-theanine takes the edge off. It's the most-studied focus pairing there is — clean attention, none of the coffee shakes.
Caffeine 50 + Theanine 80Still going at hour four.
Theobromine is the slow, easy lift in dark chocolate. It clears far slower than caffeine, so the focus eases down over hours instead of crashing at 2pm.
Theobromine 80Good mood, built in.
A clinical 30 mg of saffron — the dose used in published mood studies. It's why the focus feels good, not just sharp. The layer "clean energy" skips.
Saffron 30Energy you can use.
B6 and B12 help turn the food you eat into steady, all-day energy. Small doses. Real job.
B6 + B12
Nothing hidden. Read the dose.
Most focus brands hide the numbers behind a "proprietary blend." We put the whole formula on the front of the tin — because here, the dose is the product.
All-day focus for a fraction of the cost.
- $150–300A daily coffee habit
- $90+Energy drinks & shots
- $40–90A bottle of focus pills
Sharp head, good mood, better day.That's happy focus — and it shows up wherever you do.
The pairings are studied — not invented.
High-dose theanine with caffeine improved selective-attention measures in sleep-deprived young adults.
Caffeine paired with L-theanine improves accuracy on attention-switching tasks versus caffeine alone.
Standardized saffron extract has been studied for mood support in healthy adults at around 30 mg.
Theobromine produces a milder, longer-lasting stimulant profile than caffeine alone.

Caffeine is the cheap part. The saffron isn't.
Gram for gram, saffron is the most expensive spice on earth: about 150 crimson threads, each one picked from a flower by hand, to make a single gram.
Most focus products dust in a token pinch just to print the word on the label. We dose the full 30 mg the published studies used.
It's the priciest thing in the formula, and the reason a WITS mint helps with mood while it sharpens your head. The part a coffee never gave you.
Focus that feels like a good day.Real lift, steady mood, zero crash, wherever the day takes you.
Your lift comes from plants. Not a lab.
No synthetic stimulants, no lab-made "smart drugs." The lift comes from plants people have used for centuries — only measured to the milligram.
One mint. Any moment you need to lock in.
Nothing to brew, nothing to crack open, nothing to explain. It rides in your pocket and works the second you reach for it.
The deep-work block
Lost in the work
Locked in, no jitters
On the move
Wherever the day takes you
The moment it kicks in
What one actually looks like.
Each WITS mint is a small, pale-green peppermint tablet — about half an inch across, flecked with green and blue from the actives inside. It's a tablet, not a hard candy: tuck it in your cheek and let it dissolve. No chewing, no water — just clean, cool peppermint.
Three rules. That's the whole manual.
One mint. Let it melt.
Let it melt in your mouth as long as you can — don't just chew it. The longer it dissolves, the more absorbs straight through your cheek, so it kicks in faster than a pill.
Up to two a day.
Most people land on one. Two for a brutal day. Space them a few hours apart.
Afternoon-safe.
At 50 mg, one mint is about half a coffee — enough to lock in at 2pm without wrecking your sleep at 11.
What you'd reach for otherwise.

The science
Is saffron backed by research?
The biggest saffron trial ever ran on 202 adults in 2025. Mood scores rose, and 72 percent felt a change that mattered.
“An Examination into the Effects of a Saffron Extract on Mood and General Wellbeing in Adults…”Lopresti et al. · Murdoch University, Australia · J Nutr 2025 · PMID 4041430134 human trials. 1,769 people in all. Less stress. Better mood. That's the pooled result.
“Effect of Saffron on Depression, Anxiety and Mood Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”Mahmoudi et al. · Tabriz University of Medical Sciences · Nutr Neurosci 2026 · PMID 41693488And it moves fast. In one small trial, 19 people took a 30 mg dose. Their stress readings fell in 13 minutes.
“Acute Effect of a Saffron Extract and Its Main Volatile Compound on the Stress Response in Humans”Pouchieu et al., with University of Bordeaux · Nutrients 2023 · PMID 37447245Dose matters. In one trial, 28 mg worked. A 22 mg dose did nothing. Each mint holds 30 mg.
“A Novel Saffron Extract Improves Mood in Healthy Adults over 4 Weeks in a Double-Blind Trial”Kell et al. · University of Southern Queensland · Complement Ther Med 2017 · PMID 28735826Heart data too. One trial gave 56 adults the same dose as one mint. Their stress signals eased.
“Effects of Saffron Extract Supplementation on Mood, Well-Being, and Response to a Psychosocial Stressor”Jackson et al. · Northumbria University, UK · Front Nutr 2020 · PMID 33598475One trial followed 120 people for four weeks. Their mood after waking got better.
“An Investigation into an Evening Intake of a Saffron Extract on Sleep Quality, Cortisol, and Melatonin”Lopresti et al. · Murdoch University, Australia · Sleep Med 2021 · PMID 34438361These trials used saffron extracts at doses like ours. They did not test the finished WITS mint.
Is theanine backed by research?
The classic trial paired caffeine with theanine. The pair beat plain caffeine. It was quicker and more exact, half an hour sooner. And less noise broke through.
“The Combined Effects of L-Theanine and Caffeine on Cognitive Performance and Mood”Owen et al. · Unilever R&D, UK · Nutr Neurosci 2008 · PMID 18681988The combo also won on a brain test of attention. It beat placebo. It beat each part alone.
“Acute Effects of Theanine, Caffeine and Theanine–Caffeine Combination on Attention”Kahathuduwa et al. · University of Peradeniya · Nutr Neurosci 2017 · PMID 26869148Brain scans: with caffeine, theanine calmed the parts of the brain that wander.
“L-Theanine and Caffeine Improve Attention to Visual Stimuli by Decreasing Mind Wandering”Kahathuduwa et al. · Texas Tech University · Nutr Res 2018 · PMID 29420994In 2025, fifty trials were pooled. The pair made task-switching more exact.
“Effects of Tea or its Bioactive Compounds L-Theanine or L-Theanine plus Caffeine on Cognition”Payne et al. · University of Aberdeen · Nutr Rev 2025 · PMID 4031493031 trials, 1,168 people: theanine sped up choice reactions on its own.
“Cognitive and Affective Effects of L-Theanine: A Meta-Analysis of 31 Randomized Trials”Gerolymos et al. · Aix-Marseille University · Mol Psychiatry 2026 · PMID 42410082The two best-matched trials used 97 to 100 mg of theanine next to caffeine near our dose. WITS runs 80 mg.
Is theobromine backed by research?
Your body burns through theobromine far slower than caffeine. Measured in 1983. That's why the landing is soft.
“Theobromine Kinetics and Metabolic Disposition”Tarka et al. · Clin Pharmacol Ther 1983 · PMID 6617078A 24-person trial: plain caffeine raised blood pressure. Paired with theobromine, the boost stayed and the pressure didn't move.
“Differential Contributions of Theobromine and Caffeine on Mood, Psychomotor Performance and Blood Pressure”Mitchell et al. · Unilever R&D, Netherlands · Physiol Behav 2011 · PMID 21839757Pair it with caffeine and you get the soft lift that chocolate is known for.
“Methylxanthines Are the Psycho-Pharmacologically Active Constituents of Chocolate”Smit et al. · University of Bristol · Psychopharmacology 2004 · PMID 15549276Why only 50 mg of caffeine?
31 trials, 1,455 adults: focus rises with caffeine, peaks, then falls. Big doses hurt. We size each mint at 50 mg to stay below that turn.
“A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Acute Effect of Caffeine on Attention”Kløve et al. · University of Copenhagen · Psychopharmacology 2025 · PMID 40335666One study had 369 people in it. The shaky hands from caffeine erased the focus it gave them.
“Faster but Not Smarter: Effects of Caffeine and Caffeine Withdrawal on Alertness and Performance”Rogers et al. · University of Bristol · Psychopharmacology 2013 · PMID 23108937Why mint?
US Army scientists tested 84 people. Caffeine soaked in through the mouth. It peaked up to twice as fast as pills you swallow.
“The Rate of Absorption and Relative Bioavailability of Caffeine Administered in Chewing Gum versus Capsules”Kamimori et al. · Walter Reed Army Institute of Research · Int J Pharm 2002 · PMID 11839447A pill rides to your stomach first. A melting mint skips the line.
It is also the easiest, most convenient way to get focus. No brew. Nothing to lug around. No bathroom urge. No pouch stinging your gums. Nothing to spit out. No mess.
So easy, so clean, so quick — once you take this, you can't go back to anything else.

What it is
Is this just a caffeine mint?
No. Caffeine has the smallest job in the tin.
Saffron, theanine and theobromine build the feeling. Caffeine only turns the lights on.
What does it taste like?
Clean peppermint. Sugar-free, so no sticky sweet taste.
Most people say it tastes like a normal mint.
Is there sugar in it?
No. It is sugar-free. We sweeten it with stevia and sucralose. Zero sugar.
How big is the tin?
A small tin, about 3 in (7.5 cm) long.
It fits in a jeans pocket and weighs almost nothing.
Taking it
When should I take it?
5 to 30 minutes before you need to focus.
Most people take it at the start of work, or at 2 p.m. when the day slows down.
Last mint by 3 p.m. That keeps your sleep safe.
How do I take it?
One mint under your tongue. Let it melt. No chewing.
One a day does the job. Cap it at two.
Can I take it with my morning coffee?
Yes, but one is enough.
If you already had a big coffee, take the mint later in the day or skip it.
Does it work for studying?
Yes. Take one right before you sit down to study.
Most people say the first hour is the hardest part. This is built for that hour.
How long does one tin last?
One mint a workday means one tin lasts about five weeks.
On the bigger bundles that is less than a dollar a mint. Less than any coffee shop.
Is it safe?
Will it keep me up at night?
Last mint by 3 p.m. and your sleep stays yours.
One mint is small on purpose, so nights stay safe.
Do I crash after?
No. The cocoa part fades out slow, so you come down soft.
I'm sensitive to caffeine. Can I still take it?
Start with half a mint. Bite it in two.
One mint has 50 mg of caffeine, which is a small dose. Half is 25 mg.
I take medicine. Is it OK?
WITS is a supplement, not a medicine.
The full recipe is on the tin. Hand it to your pharmacist or doctor. Their answer is the one to follow.
Do I build tolerance to it?
No. One a day keeps working. Your body does not get used to it, so the dose never needs to climb.
Most people stay at one mint a day. Some take two on a very packed day. Three or four is rare.
What happens if I stop?
Nothing. You do not need to taper.
Take it on the days you need it and skip the days you do not.
Is this safely made?
Yes. This is a USA-owned brand. Every tin is made in an FDA-registered plant. The plant is GMP-certified. It also holds ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and HACCP papers.
Every batch is made the same way. The tin lists every amount.

Now that I have turned 65 I started feeling like I was losing my edge to complete a heavy 10 hour day.
I got sick of chewing and spitting gum, drinking endless coffee or drinking huge amounts of energy drink.
This does everything it says it will: we have nothing compared to it in our country - what a lifesaver!
6th tin. enough said
Started when Doug from accounting kept borrowing mine at standup. Then he got his own tin, then the two desks next to him. Five tins in one aisle now and im apparently the office dealer of little green mints. Someone left a sticky note on my monitor that just says thank you
dissertation is moving again. not a joke. the first sentence used to take me 3 hours, now i just write it
ok long review sorry but this solved a problem I didnt even tell my doctor about... im in field sales, two travel mugs of coffee a day. I was literally planning client visits around where the bathrooms were. I have walked out of my own pitch before. not proud of it. my wife thought the bathroom thing was hilarious btw, she does not think the coffee spending was hilarious. anyway a mint has no liquid in it, which sounds obvious but nobody thinks about it... im sharp for the drive between sites, no hallway math, no exit plan by the conference room door. also the tin fits in the door of the truck which is dumb but i love it. anyway. best thing ive bought this year and i bought a boat this year
love these
Ill be honest I laughed at the label. 50mg?? I have pre workouts with SIX TIMES that. Bought a tin purely to prove a point to my brother and lost the argument lol. whatever the other 3 ingredients are doing next to the caffeine, its a locked in couple hours I never got from the big scoops. my brother brings it up constantly. worst part of the whole thing
third order. not much else to say, they work and i keep buying them
For 30 years deadline panic was the only thing that made me work. Now I just... work? Same brain, no panic. I keep waiting for this to wear off. It keeps not wearing off
Only bought bc of the money back promise, full plan was to return it. That was May. Its August. Never sent the email. Best refund I never took
My rule: if the doses hide inside a blend I close the tab. This label prints every number. 50 caffeine, 80 of the calm thing from tea, 80 from cocoa, 30 saffron. I knew what three of the four do before ordering. Two weeks in it works like someone did the homework
New dad. Sleep is currency. My old 3pm coffee cost me the only sleep I was gonna get that night. These have a fraction of the caffeine. Last one at 2pm and im still out by 11. Fog gone, nights back. Thats the whole review
Tracked it in my notes app because caffeine always quits on me by month two. Six weeks in, one mint most afternoons, Tuesdays entry reads the same as day 3. The small dose never had to climb, I think thats the trick. Data nerd approved
The mint is sharper than id like and it sits a while since you melt it not chew it. Thats my whole complaint. I make espresso for a living and I still reach for these on my own shift. Tongue says 4 stars, afternoon says 5. Afternoon wins
Tested first, went with the highest tier right away. Trust me bro, this thing upgrades lives
Melted one at 1:55 before my 2pm call. By the time we started my head was quiet and my notes went in on the first read. Havent told my team what changed. Let them wonder
star off for price bc im on a budget and i feel it. but i did the math against my drive thru + vending machine habit and this is actually less per week. so i grumble and i reorder. 4 honest stars
no app, no system, no setup. its a mint. i have built the perfect planner 9 times and used none of them lol. this i actually use
ICU nights. Coffee at 3am used to wreck my day sleep... one mint at the slow stretch instead, charting gets done, asleep by 10am. half a tin lives in my scrub pocket now. day sleep is sacred
Rolled my eyes at the happy focus thing on the label, bought anyway. The focus part I expected, its caffeine. The mood part I did not expect. Three hours of tax prep and I wasnt mad about it once?? Saffron is in there. I thought that was a cooking spice. Look it up like I did
Ok so the weird thing about these is nothing feels different. No rush or anything. You just notice youre 20 minutes into the actual work instead of circling it. I knew exactly what I had to do every single day and couldnt make myself start. That was my whole problem. Not anymore. I know how that sounds
Tried to reorder in June, SOLD OUT. waited 12 days checking back like a weirdo. bought 3 tins when the restock email came so I never do that again. annoying? yes. also empty shelves dont lie
Kept my morning pour over. The sad afternoon cup never worked anyway, so that one got replaced. Mornings are for taste now, afternoons run on one small green mint. My sleep wins the most
Gave up the pouches this spring and my hand kept reaching for a can that wasnt there. The mouth misses the routine, thats just the truth. This tin clicks, sits in the same pocket, gives my mouth a job that ends in focus. Zero nicotine in big letters on the label. My wife checked twice
I was skeptical of the mint format. Read up on why you let it melt under the tongue instead of swallowing it. Then I tested it for two weeks like an experiment. Comes on faster than anything I've swallowed and smoother. The mint part is the point, as it turns out
looks and works good
the wife stole my tin and ordered her own. thats the review
the best part is i just dont think about caffeine anymore. one mint im good move on with my day
no more shaky hands by 3pm. swapped the afternoon coffees for one of these. simple as that
i grind my teeth on adderall days, on off days these keep me functional without the jaw thing. nice middle gear
