Most brands own the morning. Nobody owns the slump.

The post-lunch dip is the one moment most supplements ignore — so the default fix is a second coffee, and the crash and broken sleep that follow it. Cadence is built for exactly this hour: a clean lift that holds, then clears.

Built for one moment most supplements ignore.

Owns the 3pm moment

Premium capsule brands are built for all-day or morning use. Nobody owns the afternoon slump — and the default fix is a second coffee.

One capsule, a ritual

Once a day, early afternoon — not the two-to-four capsules of a typical stack. A single, deliberate moment.

Kind to your night

A low 70 mg of caffeine, taken early in the afternoon, is far gentler on your sleep than a second coffee.

Evidence-led, transparent

Clinically dosed citicoline on a clean, fully disclosed label — never a proprietary blend.

Honest about the first hour — and the first week.

Today

Take one capsule after lunch. A clean lift arrives in roughly 30–45 minutes — present, not jittery.

This week

Smoother afternoons. The 2–3pm dip softens, and there's no second-coffee crash to recover from at 4.

Ongoing

The citicoline base is a build, not a hit — daily use is where the steady, sustained focus settles in.

Every milligram, on the label.

A nutrient base carrying the authorised health claim, and a core of well-studied actives — fully disclosed, never a proprietary blend. Each one links to its entry in our Nootropic Dictionary.

One capsule. Once a day. A deliberate moment.

Not the two-to-four capsules of a typical stack. Cadence is a single, considered act at the top of the afternoon — a small instrument you reach for instead of the second coffee.

Made for the people who’d otherwise reach for another coffee.

The first thing that's actually replaced my second coffee. The 3pm wall just… doesn't arrive the same way.

Cadence, answered plainly.

What is Cadence?
Cadence is a single daily capsule from KÖGN Health, taken in the early afternoon for the post-lunch energy dip. It pairs a clinically dosed citicoline core with a small, low-caffeine lift, so you get clean, sustained focus without reaching for a second coffee.
When should I take Cadence?
Early afternoon — around the 2–3pm slump, before your energy dips. The 70 mg of caffeine is deliberately low and taken early enough in the day to stay kind to your sleep.
Will Cadence affect my sleep?
It is designed not to. At 70 mg, the caffeine is less than a typical coffee, and taking it in the early afternoon leaves time for it to clear before bed — far gentler on sleep than a second afternoon coffee.
How much does Cadence cost, and can I cancel?
Cadence is £39 a month on subscription — and your first month is £29 if you're new. Prefer not to subscribe? A one-off bottle is £49. On subscription you're billed monthly and can pause, skip, or cancel anytime from your account — there's no contract and no minimum term.
How soon will I feel it?
The lift typically arrives within 30–45 minutes of taking it. The citicoline base, however, is a build — most people notice the steadiest afternoons after a week or so of daily use.
Is Cadence safe?
Cadence is a food supplement made from disclosed, dosed ingredients. It contains caffeine and is not recommended for children or pregnant women. Citicoline may interact with some medication — if you take any, speak to a healthcare professional first.
