EXPERIMENTAL KITCHEN: The 'FORCE' Pathway
A Blueprint for Energy Enhancement, Fatigue Recovery, and Sustained Focus
The 'FORCE' Pathway is designed to optimize cellular energy production (ATP), stimulate metabolic rate, and provide sustained fuel to prevent fatigue. It leverages Vascular Tonics (Hibiscus, Black Rice), Natural Stimulants (Coffee, Tea), and Thermogenic Spices (Green Curry, JalapeƱo) to maximize physical and cognitive output.

Three Pillars of Force
Circulation & Oxygenation
Focused on delivering oxygen to muscles and the brain. Ingredients like Hibiscus (Anthocyanins) and Black Rice improve endothelial function and blood flow, essential for stamina.
Metabolic Activation
This pillar focuses on "waking up" the metabolism. Capsaicin (JalapeƱo), Ginger, and Curry Spices increase thermogenesis, while Coconut MCTs provide rapid, available energy.
Cognitive Clarity & Lift
Focused on mental stamina. Coffee and Assam Tea provide focused alertness, balanced by Healthy Fats (Coconut, Olive Oil) and Antioxidants (Chocolate, Asparagus) to prevent the crash.

MCTs are efficiently metabolized by the body, supporting heightened metabolic activity and mental clarity without the energy spikes and crashes associated with other fuel sources.
Featured in:
  • Assam Latte Tea (Coconut Cream: contributes to sustained focus)
  • Green Curry with Tofu (Coconut Milk: aids metabolic activation and thermogenesis)
Fun Fact: Young coconut water is remarkably similar to human blood plasma, leading to its historical use as an emergency intravenous fluid during times of crisis.
