The Gummy Candy That Could Help You Do Your Job Better

Productivity gummies, created by the supplement company ASYSTEM, are designed to deliver an afternoon pick-me-up using a combination of vitamins and naturally-occurring ingredients such as Suntheanine (found in green tea).

The post-lunch, mid-day slump is the real deal. Sure, you can combat it with extra caffeine, but that may keep you up late (yet again). Thankfully, a new product is making waves in the news that just may help, and they are known as Productivity Gummies.

A company called ASYSTEM recently launched a new line of gummies. The aptly named Productivity Gummies supposedly promote a “flow state” without an energy spike and resulting crash. Which, if true, could work some afternoon miracles.

ASYSTEM is a newer wellness company that launched in 2018. According to its website, the company’s “products blend powerful, research-backed ingredients with proprietary natural formulas, and our packaging takes a design approach rooted in behavioral psychology. Simply put: we make supplements which work — and look good too.”

The company’s catchy tag claims it offers “Explosive Energy Gotham Style. Advanced Pre-Workout Supplements Inspired by Bruce Wayne.” And who doesn’t want that? The only question is, what exactly are Productivity Gummies?

Vice News did a little digging into the ingredients to learn what makes this new supplement tick. The Productivity Gummies are “a potent formula of Suntheanine (aka L-theanine, a compound commonly found in tea that boosts both alertness and calmness.” And, “these gummies contain 20 times as much as a cup of green tea); lion’s mane mushroom; and Huperzine A, which (we Googled it for you) is a chemical derived from Chinese moss that’s supposed to improve memory and “thinking.” 

The short ingredient deck seems to support the claim that Productivity Gummies are all-natural. So far, so good. But that is not all.

These gummies all contain vitamins B12 and B3. And they do also contain caffeine, which may account for the rapid pick-me-up you get. According to the company, you should actually feel an effect within thirty minutes of taking Productivity Gummies.

However, the caffeine comes in an unfamiliar form called NewCaff. It is a microencapsulated form of caffeine that supposedly has a more sustained impact on energy levels. Maybe so, but it is still caffeine.

The company claims its Productivity Gummies will keep you going for five or more hours. And that it will do so without the caffeine crash that goes hand in hand with some of our other energy boost options. There are also no jitters or rapid energy spikes with these unique supplements.

Other benefits that ASYSTEM attributes to its Productivity Gummies include mental alertness, elimination of brain fog, and sharpened focus. If that all sounds too good to be true, there is only one way to find out. And that is to order your own to try.

Beware – they do not necessarily come cheap, as a 32-day supply will set you back $45. However, if you feel adventurous, you can subscribe and save $5/month. And saving money is always good news.

These Productivity Gummies may not make you quite as invincible as Brue Wayne. But if they work as advertised, you can impress your boss when you rock those late afternoon meetings. That alone may be just the push you need to give this new supplement a go.
