FAQ

What is CLUTCH? CLUTCH is a high-performance nootropic formulated specifically for athletes and high-performers who need to stay "locked in" when the pressure is highest. We don't do "magic" or "miracles"—we provide the exact cognitive fuel your brain needs to maintain focus, clarity, and calm under fire.

How is CLUTCH different from an energy drink? Most energy drinks just dump caffeine into your system, leading to a spike and a crash. CLUTCH is built for "clean" performance. We use ingredients like Alpha-GPC, Citicoline, and L-Theanine to support sustained mental energy and precision without the jitters or the mid-game slump.

Who is CLUTCH for? If your sport or profession requires split-second decision-making—whether it's the final 20 minutes of a football match, a do-or-die putt on the 18th green, or a high-stakes board meeting—CLUTCH is engineered for you.

Does CLUTCH contain caffeine? No. We designed CLUTCH to provide focus and "flow" without relying on stimulants that can mess with your heart rate or fine motor skills.

How do I take it? For peak results, we recommend taking one serving approximately 30–45 minutes before your session or event. This gives the ingredients time to cross the blood-brain barrier so you’re "dialed in" the moment the whistle blows.

Will this show up on a drug test? We use high-quality, compliant ingredients. However, elite athletes governed by WADA or specific sporting bodies should always consult their team doctor or check our ingredient list against the latest prohibited list, as regulations can change.

Where do you ship? We currently ship nationwide across South Africa. Whether you’re in Joburg, Cape Town, or Durban, we’ll get CLUTCH to your door.

How long does delivery take? Standard shipping typically takes 2–4 business days. You’ll receive a tracking number as soon as your order leaves our licensed warehouse.

Can CLUTCH make me a better athlete? We’ll be honest: No supplement can replace 9 PM sessions in a cold gym or the 1,000th rep of a drill. You provide the grit and the hard work. We just provide the focus to make sure that work counts.

What if I don't feel anything? Nootropics work differently for everyone based on your unique neurochemistry. Some feel the "dialed in" sensation immediately, while for others, the benefits of ingredients like B-Vitamins and Zinc build up over time. If you aren't satisfied, reach out to us—we’re here for the long game.

Can I stack CLUTCH with my pre-workout? Many pre-workouts are heavy on stimulants like caffeine and beta-alanine. Since CLUTCH focuses on cognitive "flow" and calm focus—using ingredients like Alpha-GPC and L-Theanine—it generally stacks well. However, we recommend checking if your pre-workout already contains high doses of Choline to avoid "brain fog" from over-supplementation.

Will CLUTCH give me the "jitters"? No. The "jitters" are usually a side effect of high-stimulant loads. We’ve formulated CLUTCH to provide an "alert-calm" state. By balancing brain-boosters with Sceletium and L-Theanine, we ensure you stay sharp without the shaky hands—essential for sports like golf or padel where fine motor control is everything.

Does it work for gaming or office work, too? Absolutely. While we build for the athlete in the "clutch" moment, the same neurochemistry applies to a 4-hour gaming session or a high-stakes presentation. If you need to stay "locked in" without the crash, CLUTCH fits your desk as well as your gym bag.

Is CLUTCH "Clean Label"? We believe in high-utility formulas. That means no unnecessary fillers, no artificial dyes, and no "proprietary blends" that hide our dosages. You know exactly what you’re putting into your body, down to the milligram.

Is it vegan/vegetarian friendly? We use vegetable-based capsules to ensure CLUTCH is accessible to all athletes, regardless of dietary preference.

How long should I use it to see results? You’ll feel the acute effects—focus and clarity—within 30–60 minutes of your first dose. However, ingredients like Zinc and our B-Vitamin complex work best when they reach a "steady state" in your system. Most performers find their "peak" after 5–7 days of consistent use.

Why the name CLUTCH? In sports, "Clutch" is that moment when the clock is ticking and the outcome is on the line. It’s the ability to perform when it matters most. We built this brand for the people who don’t just want to participate—they want to deliver when the pressure is at its highest.

I’m a professional athlete; is this WADA compliant? We use ingredients that are currently not on the WADA Prohibited List. However, as an athlete, the "Strict Liability" rule applies—you are responsible for what’s in your system. We provide the full ingredient list; Alpha-GPC; Citicoline; Acetyl-L-Carnitine; L-Theanine; Sceletium; Huperzine A; and our Zinc & B-Vitamin Complex, so you can clear it with your medical team or sporting body before use.
