Frequently asked questions
TruBond is a new kind of functional powdered drink, crafted for the way you actually want to feel. We make two daily rituals: Clear Rise (Citrus Mint) for morning clarity and clean energy, and Lighten Up (Raspberry Yuzu) for afternoon uplift and connection. Both are powered by clinically studied adaptogens, real nootropic mushrooms, and gut-friendly ingredients at meaningful amounts.
Social wellness is the daily practice of showing up for the moments that actually matter. Morning meetings. Afternoon resets. Real conversations. We built TruBond to be the daily ritual that supports clarity, balanced energy, and engaged presence across all of them.
TruBond was founded by Autumn Shelton. We are a woman-owned, Santa Barbara-based brand. Autumn built TruBond because she wanted a daily drink designed around how she actually wanted to feel, and what she was looking for didn't exist.
Clear Rise is your morning ritual, formulated for clarity, focus, and clean energy. It's a bright citrus mint blend with Rhodiolife® Rhodiola, Organic Lion's Mane, Panax Ginseng, and approximately 11 mg of natural caffeine from organic guayusa per stick.
Lighten Up is your afternoon-and-evening ritual, formulated for uplift, focus, and connection. It's a crisp raspberry yuzu blend with KSM-66® Organic Ashwagandha, Organic Lion's Mane, and Organic Reishi. Caffeine-free.
Yes. Clear Rise in the morning, Lighten Up through the afternoon and into the evening. The blends are designed to layer.
Clear Rise: 2 to 3 sticks daily across the morning. Lighten Up: 1 to 3 sticks daily across the afternoon and evening.
Clear Rise contains approximately 11 mg of natural caffeine per stick, from organic guayusa leaf. For reference, a standard cup of coffee has about 95 mg. Lighten Up is caffeine-free.
Clear Rise is designed for the first half of your day. The natural caffeine per stick is similar to a third of a small cup of coffee. Most customers find it doesn't interfere with sleep when used as directed.
Adaptogens are plant compounds that help the body adapt to stress and stay balanced. They support the stress response system rather than spiking energy or sedating it. In TruBond: Rhodiolife® Rhodiola Rosea, Panax Ginseng, KSM-66® Ashwagandha, and Organic Reishi.
Nootropics are compounds that support cognitive function, focus, working memory, and mental clarity. In TruBond: Organic Lion's Mane and L-Theanine.
The gut-brain connection (also called the gut-brain axis) is the communication network between your digestive system and your brain. It plays a role in mood, focus, energy, and overall well-being. TruBond is formulated around this connection: prebiotic fiber and mushroom polysaccharides support the gut side, while adaptogens and nootropics support the cognitive and stress side.
Yes. We use organic baobab for gentle prebiotic fiber that won't bloat or cramp. Our sweeteners are allulose and organic monk fruit, both naturally gut-friendly, unlike many artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols.
Add one stick to 8 oz of cold water and ice. Or add two sticks to your TruBond x MiiR Flip Traveler (16 oz) with cold water and ice. Mix or shake well until dissolved. Mixes with still or sparkling water.
Pro tip: mix or shake stick(s) with a small amount of flat water first to fully dissolve the powder, then top with sparkling water and ice. This keeps the bubbles intact rather than diluting them, and gives you the cleanest final pour. Some natural frothing may occur briefly as the powder settles, which is normal.
