Bacopa Extract (Bacopa monnieri), 200 mg
L-Theanine, 100 mg
Panax Ginseng Extract (Panax ginseng), 90 mg
Plus Branched Chain Amino Acids, 540 mg, as raw material

Built for adults over 50, whose bodies clear caffeine slower every year.

If coffee used to work and now costs you the night, this was made for you.

Take two capsules daily with an 8 oz. glass of water.

For best results take them 20 to 30 minutes before a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Take them every day, because these botanicals are trained, not taken.

No caffeine, no sugar and no stimulants.

There's nothing in the bottle that can race your heart or take tonight's sleep away from you.

Other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (capsule) and magnesium stearate.

Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, in an FDA-registered facility.

Our Rhodiola is standardized to 3% salidroside, and that number is printed on the panel because it changes what the ingredient actually is.

Your subscription bills the same price from the first order onward, on the cadence you picked.

That's $49 every 4 weeks, $89 every 8 weeks, or $129 every 12 weeks, so you're never empty in the middle of the window where the research measured its results.

Each of those is $10 a month less than buying the same supply once, which is $59, $109 or $159.

Shipping is free on every order, and you can change your date, skip a shipment, or cancel from your account before the next ship date.

There's also a 90-day money-back guarantee on both purchase types, so if it isn't working you email us for a full refund and keep the bottle.

5 Studied Ingredients. Zero Caffeine.

Here's what's in the bottle, what it's for, and exactly how much of it you get.

Rhodiola

The thermostat

FOUND IN

The arctic cliffs of Siberia and Scandinavia, where almost nothing else grows.

FORM

Root powder, standardized to 3% salidroside.

AMOUNT

100 mg.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

Rhodiola is the adaptogen studied against placebo in adults with stress-related fatigue, where researchers measured fatigue, attention and the morning cortisol response.¹

Those trials used 400 to 576 mg of concentrated extract, which is a good deal stronger than our 100 mg of powder.

So we tell you the study result and stop right there.*

Bacopa

The memory compounder

FOUND IN

Indian wetlands. The herb Ayurvedic scholars used while they memorized long texts.

FORM

Extract of Bacopa monnieri.

AMOUNT

200 mg.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

Bacopa is the closest research match to your age group in the whole formula.

Placebo-controlled trials in adults 55 and older, running 12 weeks, showed improved delayed recall and faster mental processing.^{2 3 4}

Those trials used 300 mg of the same kind of extract, and ours is 200 mg.*

Fresh green tea leaves on a pale slate surface with loose dried leaves beside them

L-Theanine

The calm signal

FOUND IN

Tea leaves. The reason a cup of green tea feels different from a cup of coffee.

FORM

Free-form L-theanine.

AMOUNT

100 mg.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

L-theanine is the one you're most likely to notice first.

Controlled EEG studies at 50 to 200 mg showed a rise in alpha brain waves within about 30 to 60 minutes, the signature of relaxed alertness rather than a jolt.^{5 6}

Our 100 mg sits right in the middle of that studied range.*

Panax Ginseng

The old-world engine

FOUND IN

The mountain shade of Korea and China, where it takes years to become anything at all.

FORM

Panax ginseng extract.

AMOUNT

90 mg.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

Roughly 2,000 years of traditional use, and a modern meta-analysis found a significant reduction in fatigue against placebo.^{7 8}

The fatigue trials used far more than our 90 mg, so ginseng is a supporting player here and we say so out loud.*

Eggs, lentils and a fillet of white fish on a pale wooden board

Branched Chain Amino Acids

The raw material

FOUND IN

Ordinary protein foods.

FORM

Branched chain amino acids.

AMOUNT

540 mg.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

These are building blocks your muscles and your brain chemistry use.

The research on amino acids and fatigue ran at six to twenty grams, more than ten times our amount.

So we make no performance claim on them at all, and they stay raw material.*

How It Actually Works

Four explainers we drew ourselves. Each one earns its slot by teaching a piece of the mechanism.

Borrowed Energy vs Built Energy

Every energy product on the shelf does one of two things. It borrows energy from tonight, or it helps your body build more of its own.

Loan versus income: borrowed energy compared with built energy across five rows

	Old World Energy	Coffee	Energy drinks	Standard energy pills	Sleeping longer
Caffeine-free	✔	✘	✘	✘	✔

Comparison columns are deliberately generic product categories, not named brands, so every cell stays defensible. Caffeine's effect on total sleep and deep sleep is cited in reference 9.

Look at that last row for a second.

Caffeine is the only thing in your cupboard that gets worse at its job the older you get.

That's a rough foundation to build your afternoons on.

What The First Twelve Weeks Sound Like

A Note On Proof

You may already know us.

Old World Healing started with Old World Relief, our topical cream.

More than 47,000 jars have gone out the door, with a 4.8 rating and over 2,800 five-star reviews.

Old World Energy is new, so the accounts below are illustrative rather than customer reviews.

A grandparent and a toddler laughing together on a living room rug

"I stopped bargaining with my afternoons."

"The first week wasn't dramatic and I'm glad, because dramatic is what coffee does and I hate what coffee does to me now. It was more that four o'clock arrived and I hadn't thought about it. I used to spend the whole morning quietly rationing myself for the afternoon. Around week five I noticed I'd stopped doing the math."

An older person on the phone in a kitchen, half smiling

"I said yes before I checked how I felt."

"My daughter asked about a weekend at the lake and I said yes right there on the phone. That's not how I've answered a question like that in about four years. I'd always say let me see how I'm doing that week, and then I'd cancel. Two months in, I said yes first and it just wasn't a lie."

Two people talking on a porch at golden hour

"The word came back."

"The energy part I expected. The part I didn't expect showed up somewhere around the third month, and it was the words. Standing in a conversation and having the name right there when I wanted it, instead of the awful pause where everyone waits for me. I hadn't realized how much I'd started avoiding talking."

These are illustrative accounts. Individual results may vary.

What Makes Old World Energy Different

Here's why we built a caffeine-free formula instead of one more pill that borrows against your night.

The stimulant aisle An unbranded energy can and a plain white stimulant pill bottle on a cold grey surface

BLOCKS your tiredness gauge instead of filling the tank
BORROWS from tonight's deep sleep
PUSHES your stress hormone up
CRASHES you when it clears
WORKS LESS every year after 50
RACES your heart if you're sensitive

Old World Energy The Old World Energy bottle in warm light

4 ENERGY BOOSTERS studied in human trials
0 mg CAFFEINE, so nothing to crash from
WORKS ON the stress response, not just alertness
NOTHING in it to shorten your deep sleep
BUILDS over weeks instead of wearing off by lunch
2 CAPSULES a day, the same as the research schedule

"We started Old World Healing because the old world figured out an enormous amount about the body and then we threw most of it away. I'll tell you exactly where our doses sit next to the studied doses, right on this page, because you've been burned by a shouting label before."

Mary Miller

Herbalist and natural health researcher, Old World Healing

Old World Remedy

Old World Remedy. Modern Science Receipt.

The old-world healers didn't hand out the prettiest plants.

They handed out the ones that survive where nothing should, and gave them to the people who had to keep going.

Arctic root clinging to bare rock in wind that kills everything softer.

We took those same roots and went looking for the modern human trials, and then we printed the citations.*

The Absence

The Absence Is The Feature

For most of the energy aisle, taking the caffeine out would be a compromise.

For you, it's the entire point.

There's no caffeine, no sugar and no stimulant in this bottle, so there's nothing in it to race your heart and nothing in it to buy tonight's sleep on credit.*

Trained, Not Taken

A stimulant is taken. You swallow it, it leaves, and you're right back where you started.

An adaptogen is trained, so you're not buying one afternoon, you're building a baseline.

That's why twelve weeks keeps showing up in the research below, and it's why we ship monthly instead of hoping you remember to reorder.

Because the cost of borrowed energy was never the money.

The cost is the afternoons you weren't standing in.

Ask Us The Hard Ones

That question is exactly why the L-theanine is in here at our studied dose.

Caffeine never made energy for you in the first place, it only hid the gauge.

What theanine does shows up on a brainwave reading within 30 to 60 minutes, and it looks like calm alertness rather than a jolt.⁵

Most people describe week one as an afternoon that simply doesn't fall off a cliff.

Because the enzyme that clears caffeine out of your blood slows down as you age.

Researchers found coffee drinkers aged 65 to 70 took 33% longer to clear caffeine than younger people did.¹⁰

The same cup that was gone by supper at 35 is still circulating at bedtime now.

Caffeine isn't evil, it's a loan.

You aren't earning energy at 7am, you're borrowing it, and after 50 the repayment gets expensive.

A meta-analysis of 24 controlled studies found caffeine cut total sleep by 45 minutes and shortened deep sleep by up to 18.5 minutes.⁹

There's nothing in Old World Energy that clashes with caffeine.

But now you know what that slow enzyme is doing, so think hard about the afternoon cup specifically.

Rhodiola root powder 100 mg, Bacopa extract 200 mg, L-theanine 100 mg, Panax ginseng extract 90 mg, and 540 mg of branched chain amino acids.

The full panel is one tap away, and every number on this page matches the printed label.

Some are and some aren't, and we'd rather tell you than let you find out.

L-theanine at 100 mg sits right inside the studied 50 to 200 mg range.

Bacopa is 200 mg of the same extract form the 12-week trials ran at 300 mg.

Rhodiola is 100 mg of root powder, and the burnout trials used 400 to 576 mg of concentrated extract, so we will never tell you our dose reproduced them.

Because you've bought the bottle with the shouting label and felt nothing, and it made you cynical about the whole aisle.

We sell the system and the mechanism, not a promise that our formula is secretly a clinical trial.

Two capsules with a glass of water is the same schedule the research used, and it takes about four seconds.

There's no flavor to get sick of by week six, which matters when the whole point is staying consistent.

Two capsules daily with an 8 oz. glass of water, ideally 20 to 30 minutes before a meal.

Morning suits most people, since that's when the afternoon gets decided.

Yes, and this is the part that decides whether it works for you.

These botanicals are trained, not taken, so the people who feel the most are always the people who stayed consistent.

There's no caffeine and no stimulant in the formula, so there's nothing in it built to keep you awake.

Please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medication.

Our label specifically flags blood thinners and medication for blood sugar or blood pressure.

That's not a dodge, it's just the right answer.

It's formulated for adults, and the research we lean on hardest was run in people 55 and older.

Not for children under 18, and not for anyone pregnant or nursing.

Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, in an FDA-registered facility.

Don't exceed the recommended dose, and stop and check with your doctor if anything feels off.

Anyone with a known medical condition should talk to a physician before starting this or any supplement.

Both are on the label for a reason.

Bacopa is the ingredient with the strongest research match to your age group, and the memory findings landed at the 12-week mark in every trial we cite.^{2 3 4}

Week one for the calm-alert piece, based on theanine's same-day evidence and the week-one shifts in the rhodiola trials.^{1 5 11}

Weeks four to eight for the fatigue curve.

Weeks eight to twelve for memory and sharpness. Results vary from person to person.

Pick 1 month at $49, 2 months at $89, or 3 months at $129, and it renews on that same cadence every 30, 60 or 90 days.

It bills the same price every time, starting with the first order, so there's no intro rate that jumps later.

Shipping is free every time, so nothing gets added at checkout.

Yes, and the one-time price is $59 for one month, $109 for two months, or $159 for three months.

A subscription of the same supply is $10 a month less, and the 90-day guarantee covers both.

Skip a shipment, change your delivery date, or cancel from your account before the next ship date.

There's no caffeine in the bottle, so there's nothing to taper off either.

You have 90 days to email us and get a full refund.

We set it at 90 days on purpose, because that's the same 12-week window the trials on this page measured at, so you get to judge it on the research's timeline rather than ours.

There's nothing to ship back, so you keep the bottle.
