About Brite Drinks

Brite Drinks, a UK-based company established in 2016, is carving out a niche in the functional beverage market with its natural nootropic drinks designed for mental performance. The company was founded by Simas Jarasunas, a former professional swimmer, and Andrius Ratkevicius, a chemical engineer. Their journey began as they sought a healthier and more effective alternative to coffee and traditional energy drinks to maintain focus and productivity in their corporate careers, which often led to jitters and anxiety.

Leveraging Ratkevicius's chemical engineering background, they developed a beverage based on the synergistic effects of caffeine and L-theanine, a combination backed by neuroscience to enhance cognitive performance without the common negative side effects. After more than 50 iterations and collaboration with nutritionists at University College London, Brite was launched in July 2018. The company operates primarily as an internet-first brand, selling directly to consumers via its website, which fosters a strong customer relationship and allows for continuous improvement. Revenue is generated through these online sales and through partnerships with major retailers and corporate clients.

Brite's product line consists of 100% natural, plant-based drinks available in flavors like Lemon Lime, Pineapple Mango, and Raspberry Mint. The core of the formulation includes nootropic ingredients such as guayusa, matcha, and guarana, which provide natural caffeine, combined with L-theanine for a state of relaxed alertness. Each 330ml can is designed to improve focus and productivity, containing no added sugar, sweeteners, or preservatives, and is vegan-friendly. The company targets professionals, students, and anyone seeking to enhance their mental performance throughout the day. Brite has secured distribution in major UK retailers like Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, and Whole Foods Market, and has expanded into corporate offices, with companies like Meta, Google, and LinkedIn stocking the drinks for their employees. The company has also expanded internationally, with presence in Ireland and Belgium.
