Product

Three things no other bar can claim simultaneously: NSF Certified for Sport, BSCG Drug Free (450+ banned substances tested), and NSF Functional Food and Beverage. Doctor-formulated by Dr. Jason Kolber, DC -- Nervous System and Optimization Coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks -- using clinically studied ingredients, not marketing trends. No caffeine. No synthetic stimulants. No compromise.
The form factor is a bar. What's inside is not. Key ingredients like Alpinia galanga are clinically shown to outperform 200mg of caffeine for sustained mental alertness -- without cardiovascular side effects or a crash. This is a doctor-built superfood system in a 38g package.
Anyone who can't afford to fade. Military and first responders, professional and collegiate athletes, executives, and high-output individuals who need sustained energy and mental clarity without stimulants. Ages 8 and up.
Yes. The formula is designed for daily use. If you have a standard sleep schedule, we recommend not consuming it within a few hours of bedtime due to the sustained alertness the ingredients provide -- not because of caffeine, but because they work.
No. It's performance fuel -- clean protein, carbohydrates, electrolytes, and a full serving equivalent of fruits and vegetables in every bar. Pairs well with a meal if you want something more substantial.
None. Caffeine-free is not a compromise -- it's the design. Alpinia galanga delivers sustained alertness clinically shown to outperform caffeine, without the cardiovascular side effects, jitters, or crash. Your body gets real fuel, not borrowed energy.
Yes. Every batch is independently tested by three separate organizations and three independent labs. Thrival is cleared across WADA, USADA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, Olympics, and U.S. Military drug testing programs. No other performance bar holds all three certifications simultaneously.
Alpinia galanga, magnesium creatine chelate, S7 blend, turmeric, tart cherry, BCAAs, pea protein, coconut water powder, sea salt, and a daily fruits and vegetables blend. Full ingredient breakdown and clinical research available on our Science page.
Room temperature is fine. Thrival is heat stable to 125 degrees F -- no cold chain required. 18-month shelf life. Built to go wherever you go.
