Caffeine VS Salidroside: Which gives you more natural energy?

In today’s always-on culture - millions are desperate to fight their FOMO with energy boosters. Coffee habits, energy shots, and highly caffeinated drinks are common solutions for starting the day or getting over an afternoon slump. Millions of people are so desperate for a solution, they ignore the common consequences of caffeine - jitters, anxiety, what’s known as “the crash.” 

But masking fatigue with caffeine isn’t the only option. What if you could use other bioactives from nature, to naturally produce more energy? Enter LK-01™ Pure Salidroside, a caffeine alternative to fight fatigue and produce natural, sustainable energy.

False Energy vs Natural Energy

If you have an understanding of how caffeine works in the body, the negative side effects of caffeine ingestion are no surprise. With over 2 billion cups of coffee poured daily, the majority of people experience short-lived nervous-system stimulation and the taxing consequences. 


Because caffeine blocks your adenosine, a compound the body produces to signal the brain to slow down and rest, it convinces the brain you are wide awake while simultaneously releasing adrenaline from the adrenal glands forcing your entire system to operate in “fight or flight” mode. Likely the most unfortunate part of the cycle is it increases dopamine levels, similar to amphetamines, leading to bodily dependency


“Truth is, depending on your own body chemistry when the effects of the caffeine wear off, you can actually feel fatigued and depressed. So, you consume more caffeine to re-energize. Soon enough, you are hooked on the stuff – and it takes more and more to achieve that same feeling.” -

- Daniel Amen, MD

We refer to caffeine’s manipulation tactics as false energy. By harnessing the power of synthetic biology, Landkind scientists have sustainably produced a solution that supports your body’s natural ATP production so you can experience sustained natural energy throughout the day. 

Defining ATP Production

How do our cells recharge to ensure our bodies are operating at peak performance? Adenosine triphosphate


ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the energy currency of our cells. It is crucial for many physiological processes, especially during physical activity. Adenosine triphosphate is critical to many cellular processes because the molecule carries energy within cells. ATP production occurs through cellular respiration, a process that converts glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. 


Most ATP is produced within mitochondria (the power center of your cells). Within the mitochondria,, a series of reactions known as the electron transport chain creates a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. Mitochondrial ATP synthesis is tightly regulated by factors such as calcium levels, which can modulate ATP production rates.


How LK-01™ Pure Salidroside Supports ATP production

Daily dosage of LK-01 Pure Salidroside is clinically proven to increase oxygen uptake, supporting the fundamental needs of ATP production. By optimizing your cellular respiration, your body collects more resources to sustain your natural energy levels, mitigating the effects of caffeine without the negative side effects.


As part of our ISTO clinical trial, time-to-exhaustion interval tests were performed at an intensity equivalent to each participant's peak oxygen consumption rate, and the percentage of peak oxygen uptake obtained during each interval was measured. Compared to the Placebo Group, the LK-01 Group was able to reach a significantly higher percentage of oxygen uptake during all work intervals. 


LK-01 Pure Salidroside was consumed approximately 30 minutes before each time-to-exhaustion test, meaning the observed differences in oxygen uptake between the groups can be attributed to an acute effect of LK-01 supplementation on oxygen uptake kinetics. This also means a dose of LK-01 is effective faster than a dose of caffeine because caffeine is typically absorbed in 45 minutes.


What fights fatigue better, caffeine or salidroside?

Although there are undeniable benefits to caffeine dosage, the negative consequences of the bodily dependency associated with regular caffeine intake outweigh the benefits. Ingesting high doses of caffeine has long-term consequences for your well-being. 


In fact, testing conducted by the School of Health and Human Performance at Dublin City University in Ireland published findings in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism showing participants who consumed an equivalent to three or more cups of coffee a day saw their physical performance decline with repeated sprint tests. 


Beating fatigue does not have to send your body into distress. We suggest skipping caffeine in the morning and starting your day with clinically proven LK-01 Pure Salidroside.


All of Nature's healing wisdom.

  1. Peak productivity

    Encourages higher measures of mental performance like associative thinking, short-term memory, and concentration to help you reach your peak cognitive function.

  2. Sustainable energy

    Conventional stimulants trick your body into recognizing false energy. LK-01 activates your cells to naturally produce more sustainable energy, boosting endurance and reducing fatigue.

  3. Mood balance

    Pure Salidroside naturally balances stress hormones in the body to improve your mood state, helping you feel confident and motivated to power through your day.
