Ingredients
What we are considering, and why.
1PEACE is in development. Below is how we are thinking about each ingredient — including what is still unresolved.
Matcha
- What it is
- Shade-grown green tea leaves stone-ground into a fine powder, consumed whole rather than steeped and discarded.
- Why it may be included
- It carries natural caffeine, has real character and colour, and already belongs to an established morning ritual.
- Its role in the formulation
- The base and the delivery system for the entire formulation, and the source of its caffeine.
- What still needs validating
- Sourcing, grade, and how much matcha character survives a shelf-stable ready-to-drink process at the quality we want.
Vitamins
- What it is
- Micronutrients the body needs in small amounts and largely obtains from food.
- Why it may be included
- Many people take a daily multivitamin separately. Where it makes sense, some of those nutrients could travel in the drink instead.
- Its role in the formulation
- A considered subset of vitamins at amounts that are meaningful for everyday use.
- What still needs validating
- Which vitamins are appropriate for daily beverage delivery, their stability over shelf life, and sensible amounts.
Minerals
- What it is
- Inorganic nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and others that support normal body function.
- Why it may be included
- They are commonly supplemented, and several fit naturally alongside hydration in a beverage.
- Its role in the formulation
- Support for ordinary whole-body function as part of a normal diet.
- What still needs validating
- Forms, tolerability, taste impact and appropriate daily amounts.
Creatine
- What it is
- A compound produced by the body and found in foods such as meat and fish, stored mainly in muscle.
- Why it may be included
- It is one of the most extensively studied ingredients in sports nutrition, and interest in its role beyond muscle is growing.
- Its role in the formulation
- Explored as a daily inclusion for strength, physical performance and cognitive interest.
- What still needs validating
- Stability in a liquid over shelf life is a genuine formulation challenge, along with taste and appropriate daily amounts.
Electrolytes
- What it is
- Minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium that carry an electrical charge and are involved in fluid balance.
- Why it may be included
- Hydration is one of the simplest and most overlooked parts of a daily routine.
- Its role in the formulation
- Everyday hydration support — designed for normal life, not for endurance racing.
- What still needs validating
- The right sodium level for a daily drink, and balancing hydration function against taste.
Prebiotics
- What it is
- Fibres and compounds that serve as food for beneficial bacteria already living in the gut.
- Why it may be included
- Prebiotics are generally more straightforward to include in a beverage than live cultures.
- Its role in the formulation
- Support for a healthy gut environment as part of the drink's gut-health function.
- What still needs validating
- Type, amount, digestive comfort at a daily dose, and effect on mouthfeel.
Probiotics
- What it is
- Live microorganisms which, in adequate amounts, are intended to confer a benefit.
- Why it may be included
- Probiotics are among the products people most commonly take separately each morning.
- Its role in the formulation
- A goal of the formulation, if it can be done properly.
- What still needs validating
- Whether viable cultures can survive processing and shelf life in a ready-to-drink can. If that cannot be achieved honestly, we will say so rather than imply it.

No quantities appear on this page because the final formulation has not been determined. We do not cite studies we have not read, and we do not describe a benefit as established when the evidence is still developing.
