How you
feel it's chemistry

We’ve found a new way to create a health drink.

How you feel, think and act starts with chemistry. That chemistry is driven by biological systems that regulate everything from focus and energy to memory and stress.

Rather than formulating around individual ingredients, we designed Matterial to support these systems. Below, you'll discover how they work, why they matter and the ingredients chosen to support them.

1
Cognitive
function

Clear

thinking


When information comes in clearly, and your mind feels focused, sharp and responsive.

The system behind it

Neurotransmitter signalling

Neurotransmitters carry signals between neurons in your brain. When they’re depleted or imbalanced, you feel foggy, scattered, or tired.
Matterial is designed to support these neurotransmitters:
Motivation
Dopamine & Norepinephrine Signalling
Supports sustained attention and mental clarity via caffeine-theanine synergy
Calm Focus
GABA–Glutamate Balance
Promotes calm focus and reduces distraction
Attention
Acetylcholine Signalling
Supports attention, working memory and cognitive performance

When these neurotransmitters are balanced and working together, attention feels sharp and thinking feels clear.

Clean Energy

Your cells efficiently convert nutrients into usable energy and deploy it throughout your body. You feel sustained, capable, and recover without collapse.

The system behind it

Mitochondrial Energy (ATP)

Mitochondria convert nutrients into ATP, the energy your cells use to power every process in the body. When energy production is efficient, you feel more consistently energised with fewer crashes throughout the day.
Energy
ATP Production
Supports energy production and endurance
Efficiency
Electron Transport Chain Function
Supports mitochondrial energy production

When your mitochondria produce energy efficiently, it feels steady, sustained and reliable.

2
Mood and
Balance

Stress and anxiety resilience


Your nervous system shifts out of alert mode and stress hormones begin to settle. You feel grounded, tension eases, and recovery feels more natural.

The system behind it

Your response to stress is controlled by a network of pathways that regulate how your brain and body respond to pressure. When these systems are well supported, it's easier to stay calm, recover from stress and maintain emotional balance.
Calm
GABAergic Signalling
Promotes calmness and stress resilience
Recovery
HPA Axis Regulation
Supports stress response and nervous system recovery
Mood
Serotonergic Signalling
Supports mood and emotional resilience

When these systems are working together, you feel calmer, more balanced, and better able to handle stress day to day.

Gut-support

The system behind it

Gut-brain axis

Your gut and brain are constantly communicating through the gut-brain axis. The microbes living in your gut produce neurotransmitters, metabolites and immune signals that influence brain function through the vagus nerve and bloodstream. When this communication system is well supported, mood, thinking and digestion feel more balanced.
Microbiome
Gut-Brain Signalling
Supports microbiome signalling and digestive health
Prebiotic
Short-Chain Fatty Acid Production
Supports beneficial microbial activity

When your gut microbiome is balanced, the signals between gut and brain are more consistent, supporting stable mood, thinking and digestion.

3
Brain capacity

Memory

When your brain forms and recalls memories clearly, information sticks. You can learn, retain details, and access what you know with more ease.

The system behind it

Memory is shaped by how the brain forms, stores and adapts information over time. This depends on key regions like the hippocampus, the structure of neuronal membranes, and the strength and flexibility of synaptic connections. When these systems are working together, information is easier to retain and recall.
Learning
Acetylcholine Signalling
Supports memory formation and learning
Plasticity
Neuroplasticity
Supports neurotrophic signalling and neuronal adaptability
Structure
Neuronal Membrane Integrity
Structural support for memory and cognition

When these systems are working together, learning feels easier, information stays with you, and recall comes more naturally.

Long-term Resilience

Long-term brain health is about protecting what makes you, you. Supporting healthy brain cells and connections helps preserve memory, thinking and cognitive function as you age.

The system behind it

Long-term brain health depends on maintaining the structure and function of brain cells throughout life. Healthy neuronal membranes and a balanced inflammatory environment help brain cells communicate efficiently and remain resilient as we age.
Structure
Neuronal Membrane Integrity
Supports membrane structure and neuronal signalling
Protection
Healthy Inflammatory Balance
Supports a healthy inflammatory balance in the brain
Defence
Oxidative Stress Control
Supports cellular protection against oxidative stress

What you do daily shapes how your brain holds up over time. Supporting these systems helps maintain structure, adaptability and protection as you age.

Love Your Brain - Love Your Body

Your brain doesn't work in isolation. It relies on the rest of your body to deliver energy, nutrients and oxygen while maintaining the systems that keep it functioning at its best.
Immune Function
Vitamin C and vitamin D support the normal function of the immune system, helping maintain the body's natural defences. By supporting overall health, they help create the conditions needed for consistent energy, recovery and cognitive performance.
Healthy Circulation
Omega-3 EPA supports cardiovascular and vascular health, helping maintain healthy circulation throughout the body. Efficient blood flow helps deliver the oxygen and nutrients that support normal brain and body function over time.
Hydration & Electrolyte Balance
Sodium and potassium are essential electrolytes that help regulate fluid balance and support normal nerve and muscle function. Together, they help maintain hydration and support the body's natural physiological processes throughout the day.
