The questions we hear most about the smart cap, the formulas, and stocking UPWELL.

What is UPWELL?

UPWELL is a clean functional drink built on smart cap technology. The functional powder — protein, collagen, matcha, or electrolytes — stays sealed in the cap while the bottle holds water. Twist the cap to release the powder, shake, and enjoy a freshly mixed drink. Every formula is under 50 calories with no preservatives added.

How does the smart cap work?

The cap contains a sealed chamber holding the functional powder. Twisting the cap breaks the seal and drops the powder into the water below. A quick shake dissolves it completely. Because powder and water stay separate until that moment, the drink mixes fresh every time.

Why keep the powder separate from the water?

Pre-mixed drinks need preservatives and stabilizers to survive months in liquid, and sensitive ingredients like matcha, vitamin C, and enzymes lose potency in solution. Keeping the powder dry until you twist preserves freshness and potency without additives — and gives UPWELL a 12-month ambient shelf life.

How many calories are in UPWELL drinks?

Every drink in the range is under 50 calories: Collagen + Creatine has 30, Coconut Matcha has 35, and Chocolate Clear Whey and Raspberry Protein+ each have 45.

Do UPWELL drinks contain sugar?

Multiple formulas contain 0g sugar, including Coconut Matcha, Raspberry Protein+, and Collagen + Creatine. Chocolate Clear Whey contains just 0.7g. All formulas are naturally sweetened.

Are UPWELL drinks vegan?

Raspberry Protein+ is fully plant-based, built on organic pea protein. Coconut Matcha is dairy free. Chocolate Clear Whey uses dairy-derived whey protein, and Collagen + Creatine uses hydrolyzed collagen, which is animal-derived.

How much protein is in UPWELL?

Chocolate Clear Whey delivers 9g of whey protein, and Raspberry Protein+ delivers 9g of organic pea protein. Collagen + Creatine provides 7g of hydrolyzed collagen plus 3g of creatine monohydrate.

Does UPWELL need to be refrigerated?

No. Because the powder and water stay separate, UPWELL keeps for 12 months at room temperature. Chill it before drinking if you prefer it cold — most people do.

When should I drink each flavor?

Follow the day: Collagen + Creatine as a morning ritual, Chocolate Clear Whey after light workouts, Raspberry Protein+ after intense sweaty sessions, and Coconut Matcha for calm afternoon energy. There are no wrong answers — it's about your moment.
