(New York, NY — October 18th, 2024) — A new kind of award-winning “nootropic” energy drink is threatening to disrupt the dominance of major energy drink brands.
“Major energy drinks companies are definitely in a tough spot”, says Eric Miles, a soft drinks industry analyst. “It’s the first time in a while that a genuinely superior product has been introduced on the market.”
The key behind its rise to fame? A unique proprietary blend they developed called DopaBliss, containing several ingredients to support energy levels, mood and cognitive function by supporting dopamine production.
Preliminary studies suggest that ingredients in Alpine Bliss like saffron extract and L-Phenylalanine may support cognitive function and balance caffeine’s effects.
After winning the Energy Drinks Excellence Awards 2024, where an independent committee of 28 world-class nutritionists, doctors, chemists and fitness experts blind test and compare dozens of energy drinks, sales of the Swiss energy drink brand Alpine Bliss recently exploded.
“It’s the first time that I’ve truly felt myself in years”, reports a user named Marc in a review. “I feel better, my mood is great, and I look forward to the rest of my day again. It’s been a game changer for me.”
Many users report feeling a sustainable increase in mood and energy levels without the crash and jitters often associated with energy drinks.
The drink’s delicious “candy-like” sparkling berry fusion taste has attracted a lot of attention. It’s one of the first energy drinks which contains real fruits to produce an incredibly sweet taste those with a sweet tooth love. Many have compared the sweetness and taste profile to that of Celsius with a more potent fruit taste from the berry juice.
The other key to the product’s ascension to the top of sales charts has been its use of real European Alpine water — known for its purity.
“We never think about the water used in energy drinks, but it still makes up most of the volume of all these products”, explains James Liansen, a chemist. “That’s why it’s brilliant that they came up with an energy drink that actually uses high quality water from a known geographical source.”
But what is the science behind this new formula, and is it sound? Can people really support their dopamine levels to promote physical and mental well-being? Our editorial team attempted to find out.
A Nootropic Drink Designed To Support Dopamine Production
Nootropics, often referred to as cognitive enhancers, are gaining widespread popularity as more people seek ways to boost brain function and mental clarity. But what is driving this trend, and do these supplements live up to their promises? A recent report from Global Market Insights estimates the nootropics market will exceed $6 billion by 2027, driven by increasing consumer interest in productivity and mental performance.
“People are more focused than ever on optimizing their cognitive abilities,” says Dr. Sandra Mitchell, a neuroscientist specializing in cognitive health. “However, the effectiveness of these supplements depends heavily on the formulation and ingredients used.” Preliminary research suggests that certain nootropics may help improve focus and reduce mental fatigue. Long-term effects are still being studied.”
Alpine Bliss has become a popular nootropic option thanks to its aim to support dopamine production. Scientists have known for years that dopamine is the “motivation and feel good neurotransmitter”. Chemically, dopamine is responsible for making us want to achieve things and making us look forward to things.
Unfortunately, many ways of artificially boosting dopamine levels can actually deplete it in the long term. Think of many harmful behaviors people get addicted to — they do not boost dopamine in a sustainable way.
That’s why the chemists of Alpine Bliss decided to create a formula which does not artificially increase dopamine, but instead gives the body the nutrients it needs to sustain healthy dopamine levels over time.
Two of the key ingredients — L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine — are known to play a role in the dopamine production process.
Some of the other ingredients such as saffron extract and panax ginseng can support dopamine levels in other ways, notably by protecting dopaminergic neurons.
Formulated To Enhance And Smooth Caffeine’s Effects
In an industry dominated by caffeine-based energy drinks, Alpine Bliss is taking a more holistic approach. By incorporating saffron extract into its formula, the brand aims to offer a smoother, more balanced energy boost that avoids the typical highs and lows of caffeine. But how does saffron extract fit into the equation?
Several studies have explored saffron’s potential benefits for mood and cognitive function. A 2013 study published in Human Psychopharmacology found that saffron extract may have positive effects on mood, showing promise in improving mental clarity and focus. The researchers concluded that saffron’s impact on neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin could explain its cognitive benefits.
“Saffron extract has shown potential to help people stay calm and focused, even in stressful situations,” explains a spokesperson for Alpine Bliss. This calming effect could balance caffeine’s stimulating properties, providing a more controlled, steady energy boost that lasts longer without the jitters or crash that often follows.
Another study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics in 2018 reported that saffron extract might help support mood, which could be beneficial when paired with caffeine. By integrating saffron into its formula, Alpine Bliss hopes to offer consumers a well-rounded energy drink that promotes both physical endurance and mental clarity without the typical side effects of caffeine alone.
Study Reveals L-Phenylalanine’s Impact on Brain’s Reward Center
Alpine Bliss is drawing attention for its unique formula that includes L-Phenylalanine, an amino acid that plays a critical role in the brain’s reward center. But how does L-Phenylalanine affect brain function, and can it truly boost cognitive performance and mood? A recent study published in The Journal of Neuroscience sheds light on its powerful effects.
In the study, researchers administered L-Phenylalanine to a group of participants and monitored brain activity using functional MRI (fMRI) scans. The results were striking: within 30 minutes of ingestion, participants showed significant increases in activity in the brain’s reward center, specifically the ventral striatum, a key area associated with motivation, pleasure, and reward processing.
The fMRI scans revealed that L-Phenylalanine led to a 12% increase in dopamine release in the ventral striatum compared to baseline levels, as highlighted by the study’s authors. “This increase in dopamine can enhance motivation and focus, which are essential for both cognitive performance and overall mood,” explains Dr. Emily Turner, brain health expert.
In addition to dopamine-related benefits, the study also noted improved connectivity between the ventral striatum and the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in decision-making and goal-directed behavior. The connectivity improvements—measured at 15%—suggest enhanced cognitive control and improved ability to focus on tasks.
An image from the study illustrates the dramatic difference in brain activity without and with L-Phenylalanine intake, showing the clear activation of the brain’s reward circuitry. “These results provide concrete evidence that L-Phenylalanine has the potential to improve mental sharpness and mood in a relatively short period,” said Dr. Turner.
By incorporating L-Phenylalanine into its formula, Alpine Bliss may provide these cognitive benefits in a natural, sustainable way. However, consumers and experts alike will likely keep an eye on further studies to better understand the long-term impacts of this ingredient.
How Alpine Bliss Improves Workout & Exercise Performance
Alpine Bliss has become the new favorite drink of many professional and casual athletes thanks to its clinically proven benefits for workout and exercise performance
Clinical studies show several of the ingredients in the formula, if included in the right dose and form, can reduce muscle pain and soreness, improve recovery times and improve power output.
The formula can also help improve endurance, increase motivation and improve the ability to endure strenuous workouts, as well as improve reaction time and performance under stressful conditions.
That’s why many athletes often achieve their personal bests and seem to achieve the desirable flow state during their games and workouts. Gym-goers and endurance athletes alike often achieve their personal records, while individual and team players report some of their best performances thanks to DopaBliss.
Helps Improve Productivity And Concentration For Work & Study Performance
Many people find that Alpine Bliss helps them get through their to-do list faster. By increasing motivation and focus, it helps to eliminate procrastination and get more things done in less time. Employees and business owners alike report having more free time thanks to their improved productivity, and report getting more recognition at work.
By improving memory and learning, students and non-students alike find that they’re able to learn faster and improve information retention. This means they can learn skills and new facts faster and retain them with less repetition.
This explains why Alpine Bliss has become the go-to productivity drink of choice to help people perform better in their work or studies.
Effective At Improving Sociability, Verbal Fluency And Confidence For Social Events
By improving neuronal connectivity, Alpine Bliss helps improve verbal fluency. This means it reduces the blanks, “hmm and ahh” speech patterns and helps people communicate more effectively. Many prominent investment bankers and public speakers swear by Alpine Bliss for improving their performance during major presentations and speeches.
By reducing jitteriness and improving confidence, Alpine Bliss also helps people be more social and outgoing. This makes social events more enjoyable, and has led many people to report that they feel more charismatic and persuasive in small and large groups. Many people use it prior to attending or during social events such as gatherings and parties to have a great time without negatively affecting their health.
How Alpine Bliss Removes The Typical Side Effects Of Energy Drinks By Improving Mood & Reducing Stress
Unlike traditional energy drinks which tend to trigger jitters, stress and energy crashes, many fans report Alpine Bliss actually helps them improve their mood and reduce stress. They feel calmer and more relaxed while drinking it, without any crash after a few hours. How is that even possible?
You may have heard about L-Theanine, an amino acid present in green tea, which can help smooth the effects of caffeine and reduce side effects such as jitteriness and energy crashes. But scientists recently discovered a new compound that may be just as if not more effective than L-Theanine at smoothing the effects of caffeine.
Several studies indicate saffron extract may reduce cortisol levels, the stress hormone, and improve mood. Thanks to this, many people report that they feel even calmer and get fewer negative effects from the caffeine in Alpine Bliss. Instead of feeling overstimulated, they just feel clean energy.
Improves Creativity & Original Thinking
By improving brain fluidity and connectivity, Alpine Bliss helps to promote what’s known as “divergent thinking”. Divergent thinking is the ability to come up with creative solutions outside the boundaries of existing models.
It’s able to do this by increasing blood flow to the brain and modulating brain wave to promote a free-flowing state of creative thinking.
This means it can help people produce better art (such as music, writing or painting), come up with innovative business ideas, improve academic performance, and improve problem-solving abilities. Many people swear by its ability to help them come up with unusual solutions.
What Doctors & Nutritionists Think About Alpine Bliss
“Whenever a patient asks me what I can recommend if they feel tired or are struggling to focus, I systematically recommend Alpine Bliss. It’s the first energy drink I can recommend in good faith, because it uses the clinically proven dose and form of ingredients that science has shown to be effective for increasing focus and energy levels. It’s an excellent and effective product with a clean formulation.”
Dr. Marcus Lamier, Board Certified Doctor in Internal Medicine
“I’ve seen many energy drinks on the market claim to offer “clean energy” or “healthy energy”, but all of them use filler or fake ingredients to look better than they really are. Alpine Bliss’ Cognitive Energy Booster is the first energy drink that actually transparently discloses the ingredients used in their formula. That’s why it’s my number one energy drink choice and the one I recommend to all my clients.”
Erica Platte, Certified Nutritional Specialist
“Alpine Bliss is the first energy drink I’ve ever heard of that is actually scientifically proven to be more effective than caffeine alone. That’s a very hard feat to achieve, and that’s why I can confidently recommend it to all my clients who want a boost in their mental and physical performance. It’s a high-quality product with clean ingredients.”
James O’Reily, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist

Andrea K.
“Great company and great product! First and foremost I ended up receiving my order for free due to a problem with my purchase. Second I was greeted by a rep from the company who was incredibly nice and shipped my product out! As far as Alpine Bliss goes taste wise, it’s different! I enjoy the fact I get the boosts that I would from red bull but not the negative side effects, especially the crash!”
James R.
“I’ve been an avid hiker for years and always struggled with mid-hike energy drops. I started taking Alpine Bliss on my friend’s recommendation and it’s been a game-changer for me. Just last weekend, I was tackling a particularly tough trail that usually has me dragging my feet halfway through. I popped open a can of Alpine Bliss right before a steep incline and the difference was night and day. Not only did I power through the incline, but I also finished the hike feeling more energized than usual. There’s a noticeable lift without the jitteriness I’ve experienced with other drinks. The taste is pretty good too, quite sweet but refreshing. Definitely will be packing these for future hikes!”
Marc L.
“I never believed in energy drinks due to bad experiences in the past, but Alpine Bliss changed my mind. I work night shifts as a nurse, and coffee was my go-to until I hit a wall. A coworker offered me an Alpine Bliss one night when I was practically falling asleep standing. I was skeptical but took a sip, and wow, it was a lifesaver. I felt awake within minutes and no stomachache like with coffee. The berry flavor is amazing, and now I keep a stash in my locker. Only downside is the price is a bit steep, but for the energy it gives me, it’s worth it. My nights have been so much better since I found this drink.”
Joana P.
“Being a freelance graphic designer means juggling multiple projects and deadlines. I’ve tried various energy drinks to keep me going, but nothing really stuck until Alpine Bliss. I decided to give it a try after reading about it online, and I’m so glad I did. The first time I used it, I had a project due at midnight and was hitting a creative block around 9 PM. Drank a can, and by 9:30, I was back in the zone, finishing the project with time to spare. It’s been part of my creative toolkit ever since. Plus, it doesn’t leave me feeling crashy afterwards, which is a huge plus. The only complaints I have is that the can’s design is a bit plain, and sometimes I misspell ‘bliss’ as ‘bless’ when searching for it, haha. But seriously, this drink is the real deal for late-night projects.”

It also includes more rigorous supply chain scrutiny to ensure ingredient safety and has more stringent requirements around continuous quality improvements.
This ensures safer ingredients and production methods, and ensures a consistently high-quality product with every purchase. This has helped the brand build trust with its fans and establish a new unmatched quality and consistency standard for energy drinks.
Details Of The Ingredients In DopaBliss
- Ginger Root Extract: In a pilot study, participants who ingested a hot ginger beverage reported a 43% increase in satiety levels. Furthermore, these individuals exhibited a 10% increase in the thermic effect of food, indicating enhanced energy expenditure following consumption. The study suggests that ginger may play a beneficial role in weight management and energy metabolism by promoting feelings of fullness and increasing energy expenditure after meals (Mansour, MS., et al., 2012).
- L-Tyrosine: Research published in the journal Military Medicine demonstrated that L-Tyrosine supplementation improved cognitive flexibility in participants. The study found that subjects who received L-Tyrosine were 42% faster on the cognitive flexibility task compared to the placebo group (Deijen, JB., et al., 1999).
- L-Phenylalanine: A study in the Journal of Neural Transmission indicates that patients with depression showed a significant decrease in symptoms after supplementing with L-Phenylalanine. The study reported a 60% improvement in depression scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale among participants after four weeks of treatment (Beckmann, H., et al., 1979).
- Panax Ginseng: According to a systematic review and meta-analysis in the Journal of Ginseng Research, Panax Ginseng supplementation was associated with a significant improvement in cognitive function. The meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that, on average, participants receiving Panax Ginseng scored 15.25% higher on cognitive performance tests than those receiving a placebo (Geng, J., et al., 2010).
- Saffron Extract: Research published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that saffron extract was significantly more effective than placebo in treating mild to moderate depression. The study noted that patients taking saffron extract showed a 30% reduction in symptoms on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, compared to the placebo group (Akhondzadeh, S., et al., 2005).
A Delicious “Candy-Like” Berry Fusion Taste Similar To Celsius
The Cognitive Energy Booster has a “candy-like” delicious sweet taste since it contains strawberry and black currant concentrates made from real fruits along with a potent sweetener. Many users have compared its sweetness and taste profile to Celsius, with a more potent fruity note from the real berries used while maintaining an extremely sweet taste. It’s definitely made for those with a sweet tooth.
