What is ECHELON?

Echelon is a performance-energy drink developed with U.S. Military service members. It’s a proprietary blend of highly potent active ingredients that deliver amplified performance & sustained energy.

What makes ECHELON different from other energy drinks?

While most energy drinks nowadays are just caffeinated candy flavors, ECHELON is focused on delivering a effective formula for those who can't afford to crash. We took the active ingredient commonly found in powdered pre-workout & formulated what we believe is the most potent energy drink on the market. Quality ingredients at proper dosages to deliver the best energy, endurance and focus possible. No bullshit ingredients, no crash. Everything in our drink serves a functional purpose. Even the fiber.

Why is Pre-Workout spicy?

Echelon has a natural hint of spice from capsaicin, an active extract from chili peppers that studies show can help boost your metabolism by increasing energy expenditure, and regulating blood-sugar levels. And it's our middle finger to the license candy movement that has become the energy drink market.

When should I drink it?

When you drink Echelon will depend on the task at hand and your caffeine tolerance. For daily drinkers, you can use Echelon to replace your morning caffeine source. If you are strength training, you can drink it right before or during your workout. If you are doing conditioning, fighting, or shooting, Echelon is best 45min before you start the task.

Why is there fiber in it?

Let's be honest, the military-aged male isn't consuming enough fiber. This combined with high levels of caffeine, causes the stomach to produce excess acid to compensate - which can lead to a whole bunch of issues. We took a proactive route here to try to aid in the digestive of caffeine and other active ingredients found in Echelon.

Can I drink too much ECHELON?

Our lawyers told us to tell you not to drink more than 400mg of caffeine a day (that's what the FDA recommends).

So, that means:

  • 1 Pre-Workout (300mg) / day
  • 2 Performance Energy / day
  • 4 Energy + Hydration / day

Other combinations you should absolutely not drink more of are:

  • 1 Pre-Workout (300mg) & 1 Energy + Hydration (100mg)
  • 1 Performance Energy (200mg) & 2 Energy + Hydration (200mg)

Why does ECHELON make my skin tingle?

What you’re feeling is something called paresthesia: a tingling sensation that happens as the body catalyzes beta-alanine. It means your ECHY is working. Beta-Alanine generally enhances high intensity exercise lasting over 60 s, with greater effects on open end point exercise bouts, such as time to exhaustion tasks.

Is ECHELON Safe For Everyone?

You should not drink Echelon if you’re sensitive to caffeine, under the age of 18, have tiny heart syndrome, pregnant or breastfeeding.

Why do you use sucralose?

We use minimal levels of sucralose for sweetness modulation (it is the last ingredient on our label).  We never use high heat to ensure there’s no breakdown of compounds during production, resulting in a pure & harmless form. We added fiber to effectively balance the sugar breakdown & aid in digestion.

How is the military involved in ECHELON?

Over the past years, our community of 2,000+ U.S. Military service members and veterans formulated, iterated and developed Echelon with us. Echelon was created to deliver a performance in line with their specific needs, whether it’s rigorous training, mental acuity and general motor performance. These individuals, representing all branches of service and deployment environments, actively participated in both qualitative and quantitative insight for our R&D team to design the final product. In addition, the majority of our internal team are currently serving or veterans with high-performance fitness regimens and were all deeply involved in product development.Â
