The easiest way to hit your protein goals.
Protein makes you go VUUM
Protein is an essential macronutrient that plays a vital role in muscle recovery and growth. Proteins are composed of amino acids, the building blocks of muscle tissue.
Benefits
Supports fat loss with plant protein, natural caffeine, and amino acids. By increasing the body’s metabolism and activating thermogenesis, VUUM can help weight management. Protein assists exercise recovery and helps create feelings of satiety.
Helps the mind and body rise to the challenge of every day with energy and focus. Clean caffeine from green tea and guarana makes the mind and body feel fully energized. Theanine reduces stress responses in the brain for calm and clarity all day.
Boosts recovery with protein and amino acids like BCAAs. These activate protein muscle synthesis after movement and help the body repair microtears and damage made to muscle fiber strands during exercise. This develops lean muscle mass.
Supports immune health by providing the daily recommended value of vitamins like C + B12. With zinc and vitamin D to assist the immune system. Powers health longevity, immunity, daily wellness, and even the skin’s collagen production.
What Your Body Needs
Made Better by Plants
For many, plant protein will be much easier to digest, with no bloating or cramps usually associated with protein drinks. Pea protein has been shown to be equally effective as animal-based proteins, such as whey or casein, at promoting muscle recovery. Plant-based proteins also have the added benefit of being more environmentally sustainable and ethical.
Muscle Recovery
Protein is the most important ingredient in stimulating muscle growth. All proteins are composed of amino acids - the building blocks of your muscle tissue. Specific amino acids known as BCAAs—leucine, isoleucine, valine—kickstart the process of MPS or muscle protein synthesis. MPS is the biggest driver behind the creation of new muscle proteins in response to exercise-induced muscle damage and protein consumption. Each can of VUUM contains all nine essential amino acids your body needs.

Clean + Natural Energy
Caffeine + Theanine = Cognitive Benefits
The natural caffeine from plants found in VUUM keeps you calm and crash free. Caffeine + theanine, from green tea leaves, work together by modulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. Caffeine blocks the action of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that makes you feel tired. This leads to an increase in the activity of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which can promote feelings of alertness and focus. Other energy drinks create caffeine in labs with synthetic ingredients to generate this effect.
A Balancing Act
When combined with caffeine, theanine can have a synergistic effect that enhances focus and promotes feelings of connection and flow. L-theanine is a unique amino acid that is primarily found in green tea leaves. It is known for its ability to reduce physiological stress by passing through the blood brain barrier to imitate the actions of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that helps you feel relaxed and anxiety-free by dampening excitatory responses in the brain.
Crash-Free Energy
The catechins in green tea result in a gradual, sustained release of caffeine as they metabolize, offering an alertness boost without hyperactivity. Similarly, guarana's tannins lead to a slower caffeine release compared to coffee, avoiding energy spikes and crashes. Both green tea and guarana present balanced and crash-free energy unlike artificial sources and coffee, letting you feel your best so you can do your best.
