The problem · it's not your fault

You're 30 minutes from court after eight hours of work.The classic answer is caffeine. The classic answer is the trap.

The good news: an evening match needs an evening pre-game — and that is a buildable thing. These figures describe caffeine and stimulants — a category PREP does not contain.

What you've tried

Everything that wakes you up at 19:30 is still working at 1:00.

Energy drink — sugar, colour, same caffeine problem
Nothing at all — so the first set stays slow

What to expect

Measured in matches, not in days.

01Match one

You learn the ritual: pocket a ball, eat it courtside, play. No water needed. That's the whole manual.

05Match five

The gummy on the walk from the car is automatic now. This is when we'll ask you how it's going — one email, three questions.

10Match ten

Pouch's empty — about a month at your pace. The next one is already on its way if you subscribed. The ritual isn't.

The formula · nothing to hide

Twelve things in the ball. 77 recognised health benefits between them.

Full formula, real doses. Flavour: cucumber–lime. Zero sugar, zero colour, zero caffeine.

Ingredient	What it is	What it does
L-tyrosine1000 mg · free-form	an amino acid	the raw material your body turns into dopamine and noradrenaline — the neurotransmitters of drive and focus.
L-theanine200 mg	an amino acid, best known from green tea	tyrosine’s counterweight: one side of the pair feeds the drive chemistry, this one keeps it smooth and steady. Sharp, not wired — that’s the architecture of a stimulant-free pre-game.
Taurine1000 mg	an amino acid your muscle cells hold in high concentration	the working muscle’s housekeeper: it helps the cell manage water, electrolytes and the calcium signalling every contraction runs on. Hard exercise draws the pool down — PREP starts you topped up.
Magnesium56 mg · citrate	the mineral roughly a third of European adults don’t get enough of	contributes to normal muscle function and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Pantothenic acid6 mg · vitamin B5	a water-soluble B vitamin your body uses to make coenzyme A — the hub molecule of energy and neurotransmitter production	contributes to normal mental performance — exactly the job a pre-game exists to do.
Zinc5 mg · citrate	an essential mineral your body doesn’t store — it needs a steady supply	contributes to normal cognitive function.
B vitaminsniacin · B6 · B12 · biotin	four water-soluble vitamins your body doesn’t make and barely stores	together they contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin C80 mg	plain ascorbic acid	helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Sodium100 mg · sea salt	the first electrolyte you sweat out	a head start on putting back what the match takes.

Also in the ball: steviol glycosides (Reb-M) for sweetness, a food-grade binder, natural cucumber–lime aroma.

Questions, answered straight

FAQ

Does PREP contain caffeine or any stimulant?

No. No caffeine, no guarana, no "natural energy blend" hiding either. The formula on this page is complete. PREP is built for matches that end two hours before bed.

Will it keep me awake after an evening match?

There's nothing in PREP designed to keep you up — no stimulants of any kind. What keeps you up after a 7–6 third set is the adrenaline of the set itself — that one's on padel, not on PREP.

Can I take it at tournaments?

PREP is Informed-Sport certified at batch level — every production batch is tested for substances banned in sport before it ships.

How long does a pouch last?

Ten gummies, one per match. Twice a week — about five weeks; three times a week — closer to three. The subscription follows a four-week rhythm for a reason.

When does it ship, and what does reserving cost?

BEND launches Q4 2026. Reserving is free and card-less — it attaches a 40%-for-a-year discount to your email, for the first 500 members only.
