The clean caffeine
Guayusa
Steady, all-day energy from a leaf - no spike, no crash
What it is
Guayusa (Ilex guayusa) is an Amazonian holly leaf that Kichwa communities in Ecuador have brewed at sunrise for centuries. It's naturally caffeinated and naturally rich in antioxidants.
What it does
Delivers clean, steady energy. The caffeine comes balanced with naturally occurring theobromine and antioxidants, for a smoother, longer lift than coffee or lab-made caffeine — the kind you feel but don't have to fight.
Why it's in Second9
30mg per can
We wanted energy that fits a long round or a dawn patrol, not a jolt you pay for later. Guayusa gives a calm, sustained rise — no jitters, no crash. 30mg per can, about a third of a cup of coffee.

At 30mg it's a light lift, not a double espresso.
