Most hydration drinks taste like compromise. This one comes with receipts.
Bold flavour. 100 µg of vitamin B12. Amino acids, herbs and electrolytes. Every ingredient in Drastic Drink is here for one of two jobs: hydration and/or recovery.
Start your recovery ritualSee what's insideThree moments. One bottle.
Different moments. Same demand. Your body spends fluid, sleep and nutrients faster than it can replace them.
🌙 After the big night
Alcohol fragments sleep, irritates the stomach and increases fluid loss. The mild dehydration is likely behind the thirst, fatigue and headache1. Drastic brings fluid and electrolytes, ginger for a settled stomach, Korean pear (backed by a randomized trial2) and niacin, the vitamin behind alcohol metabolism11,12.

✈️ Across time zones
Cabin air is dry and you're seated for hours18. Research on long-haul travel points to roughly 100–300 mL of fluid an hour19, and one 300 mL bottle covers the top of that range. Flavour this bold makes drinking enough the easy part.

🏋️ After the hard session
Sweat carries out fluid and sodium, and after exercise the goal is to replace the fluid and electrolyte deficit16. Drastic delivers sodium, potassium, B vitamins, vitamin C and 2.5 g of amino acids. In one trial, glutamine reduced soreness after hard eccentric exercise7.

Built for real life.
Most of us don't need to add more salt. Canadians already average 2,760 mg of sodium a day, above the 2,300 mg goal22. Most workouts run under an hour, where research finds little performance difference between an electrolyte drink and plain water16. So we skipped the salt bomb.
100 µg of Vitamin B12 · Greater than 100% of the recommended daily value!
Active route (intrinsic factor): tops out near 1.5–2.5 µg10
Passive route: about 1–2% of the dose9
Drastic Drink uses both routes, for an estimated 2.5–4.5 µg absorbed.
A level you rarely see in a drink! We built it that way on purpose.
- The math
- Adults need 2.4 µg a day8. One bottle has 100 µg, and 100 ÷ 2.4 is the 4,167% on the label.
- The absorption logic
- B12 absorption has a bottleneck, so Drastic Drink is sized to use both routes. That's your full day of B12 and then some, in one bottle.
- The recovery link
- B12 supports energy metabolism and normal immune function, teaming up with niacin (B3) and pantothenic acid (B5), each at 100% DV.
- The form
- Methylcobalamin, one of the two active coenzyme forms of B12 in your body9.
- The safety profile
- No established upper intake level. It's completely safe.8.
- The feel
- Caffeine-free: no jolt, no jitters. Vitamin B12 supports energy where it's made, in your metabolism.

B5, pantothenic acid 5 mg · 100% DV
RecoveryThe raw material for coenzyme A, used to convert nutrients into energy13.
Vitamin C 90 mg · 100% DV
RecoveryA powerful antioxidant with an important role in immune function14.
Electrolytes
Sodium
HydrationLost in sweat, key to fluid balance, and a factor in how long a drink's fluid stays in your body17.
Potassium
HydrationSodium's partner in hydration17, and the larger of our two electrolyte numbers.
Magnesium
HydrationRecoveryA cofactor in 300+ enzyme systems, including energy production, muscle and nerve function15.
Amino Acids
Glycine
RecoveryAn amino acid with a well-researched connection to sleep quality5,6, in every bottle to support overnight recovery.
L-Glutamine
RecoveryAn amino acid your muscles use heavily. One trial found it reduced soreness after hard eccentric exercise7.
Herbs & Traditional Ingredients
Ginger
RecoverySystematic reviews of randomized trials support ginger for easing nausea in several clinical settings3,4.
Korean Pear Extract
RecoveryA staple of Korean recovery drinks for generations. In a randomized crossover trial, Korean pear juice lowered hangover severity versus placebo2. We feature the extract in every bottle.
Mung Bean Powder
RecoveryDeep roots in traditional Asian remedies20, and a source of antioxidant flavonoids like vitexin, as well as protein21.
Star Anise Extract
A warming, aromatic note that gives the flavour its depth.
Questions We Get
Does it have caffeine?
No. Drastic Drink is caffeine-free.
Is 4,167% DV of Vitamin B12 safe?
Yes. Your gut can only absorb a small amount of Vitamin B12 at one time, and B12 has no established upper intake level8.
When should I drink it?
Before a big night out, after training, mid-flight, or any day that needs a Drastic upgrade!
