Focus + Hydration
A clean, caffeine-free daily stick for hydration, steady focus, and performance, taken before your first coffee.
Cold weather can make it easy to drink less water, but Focus + Hydration is made for more than catching up on hydration. Each stick combines six electrolytes with L-Tyrosine, taurine, and choline for hydration, mental focus, and everyday performance, without sugar or caffeine. Developed by former Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo, it’s an easy first step in your morning routine: mix one into cold water, drink it before coffee, and start the day feeling more prepared.
A sweet, sun-ripened flavor with the crisp, juicy finish of fresh watermelon.
Free with every subscription: Andrew's 6-week lifting program.
Andrew spent twelve seasons being told exactly how to train, then had to figure out what was worth keeping once the trainers were gone. This is what he kept, scaled down for someone starting from scratch.

YOU MIGHT JUST BE DEHYDRATED.
These are six things people complain about most. All six are also what happens when you are low on water and salt. Check the ones you have had this week.
Coffee gets you moving. It doesn't give your brain anything to work with.
You wake up after a full night without water and the first thing in is caffeine. That's a stimulant on an empty tank: no water, no minerals, and nothing for the brain to build focus from.
The pros don't start the day that way. Hydration, minerals, and brain fuel come first, then the coffee.
Focus + Hydration is that first step in one stick: choline as a brain nutrient, L-Tyrosine and taurine as amino acids and adaptogens, and six electrolytes to rehydrate. No sugar and no caffeine, so your coffee still does its job on top of it.
This is a dietary supplement, not a treatment for anything. If symptoms stick around, it's worth talking to your doctor.
Andrew Sendejo played nine of his twelve NFL seasons for the Vikings.
In Minnesota, performance started before anyone touched a weight. The training staff weighed him in every morning and made sure he was hydrated and fueled before the first meeting, because a safety who's a half step slow reading the play gets beat.
When he retired, that routine went away and he went looking for a replacement. Most of what he found was sugar and caffeine, or electrolytes and nothing else. He wanted the whole morning routine in one stick, so he developed his own: electrolytes for hydration, plus the brain nutrients, amino acids, and adaptogens most hydration sticks leave out. It's still the first thing he drinks every day, before his coffee.

- Cognitive Edge Diet. How he eats now that nobody's weighing him in every Monday.

THE MORNING STACK.
How Andrew starts every day. Four steps, and the stick goes before the coffee.
You wake up behind
Seven or eight hours without water. Your brain is about 75% water, and it's starting the day short on it and on minerals.
One stick, cold water
16 to 20 oz with one stick. Electrolytes to rehydrate, choline as a brain nutrient, and L-Tyrosine and taurine for focus under pressure.
Then the coffee
Keep it. Now it's landing on a hydrated, fueled system instead of an empty tank, so you get the lift without starting the day in a hole.
Skip coffee number three
The afternoon fade is where most people reach for more caffeine and pay for it at bedtime.
Game day or training day? Make it two. One with your morning coffee, one at halftime or before you lift. A 30 Day Supply covers a month of mornings. The 90 Day Supply gets you through the whole season. Everyone responds differently, and none of this is medical advice.

WHY NOT JUST COFFEE?
Keep the coffee. Here's what it, and everything else on the shelf, leaves out. Sports drinks cover water and salt with a lot of sugar. Energy drinks pile on stimulants. Neither one gives your brain anything to build focus from.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE STICK
Over 50,000 peer-reviewed studies support the effectiveness of BrainTree ingredients
L-TYROSINE
Supports focus and mental performance under stress. One of three ingredients here aimed at brain fog. Most hydration products do not have any.

TAURINE

CHOLINE BITARTRATE
A brain nutrient involved in memory and focus. Choline comes mostly from eggs, meat and fish, so you get less of it when you eat less.

PINK HIMALAYAN SALT
Sodium plus trace minerals. When you stop eating much, sodium is usually the first thing to drop, and that is what causes a lot of the lightheaded feeling.

VITAMIN C & ZINC
Electrolytes that support normal muscle and nerve function. Magnesium and potassium are the two most often tied to night cramps.

Common questions
The ones we get asked most.
Is this an official team product?
No. BrainTree Nutrition is an independent company with no affiliation to the National Football League, the Minnesota Vikings, or any team. Andrew Sendejo played twelve seasons in the NFL, nine of them with the Vikings, and started this brand after he retired. That's the whole connection, and we're not going to make it sound like more than it is
Does Andrew actually drink this?
He developed the formula and he drinks it every day. The video at the top of this page is him, unscripted.
Is there sugar in it?
None at all, and no artificial colors or sweeteners either. Most sports drinks have sugar because it helps with absorption during hard endurance exercise. If you're not doing that, it isn't doing much for you beyond the calories.
Why can't I just drink more water?
You should be drinking more water either way. Plain water doesn't replace sodium, potassium, or magnesium though, and if your minerals are already low, drinking a lot of water can actually leave you feeling worse. This helps put the water and the minerals back at the same time.
I already use an electrolyte powder. Why switch?
Check the label for sugar and caffeine first, because most of them have one or both. Past that, a standard electrolyte powder only covers hydration. This adds choline as a brain nutrient and L-Tyrosine and taurine as amino acids and adaptogens, which is the focus side most hydration products ignore.
Will it keep me up if I drink it at night?
There's no caffeine or stimulant in it, so having one after a late game won't affect your sleep. A lot of people drink one before bed specifically because of how they feel the next morning.
What about a hangover?
This is a dietary supplement and it doesn't treat anything, so we're not going to call it a hangover cure. Alcohol does pull water and minerals out of you, and helping put both back is what this is made to do. What you do with that is up to you.
Which flavor should I start with?
Most people go with Watermelon. Refreshing is barely flavored and tastes close to plain cold water, so that's the one to pick if you don't like sweet drinks. If you can't decide, the Variety Pack has all five.
Can I take two in a day?
Yes. One in the morning and one in the afternoon is pretty common. If you're on a sodium-restricted diet or blood pressure medication, show your doctor the label first.
When should I drink it?
First thing in the morning, before coffee. That's the routine most people stick with. On a training day, drink it before your workout instead of after.
Do I have to give up coffee?
No. Keep it. Drink the stick first, then have your coffee. There's no caffeine in Focus + Hydration, so you're not doubling up on stimulants. You're just giving the coffee a hydrated, fueled system to work with.
How fast will I notice anything?
Most people say their mornings and afternoons feel different within the first few days. Overall energy usually takes two to three weeks of daily use.
What is the training program, exactly?
Andrew spent twelve years training under pro strength staffs, and he took what held up and scaled it down into six weeks for someone who hasn't trained in a while. Dumbbells and a bench will cover the whole thing, and it comes free by email with every subscription.
Can I cancel?

It's made in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility and third-party tested for purity and potency. Ships free and fast from Texas.
