Meet Paraxanthine

how it works in your body

Paraxanthine is the primary metabolite your body naturally produces after consuming caffeine, and the compound responsible for its benefits.

Instead of relying on caffeine and waiting for your body to convert it, DALY uses paraxanthine directly—delivering smooth, controlled energy without the jitters, crash, or overstimulation.

This thoughtful formulation keeps your energy steady, focused, and balanced throughout the day.

faq
What is DĀLY?

DĀLY is a different approach to energy and hydration, built around how you actually want to feel throughout your day: energized, focused, hydrated, and still like yourself. Our energy products are powered by paraxanthine instead of caffeine, with functional ingredients thoughtfully added to support the way you move through your day.

Why did you create DĀLY?

Because we wanted energy that felt better. We were tired of choosing between feeling exhausted and feeling overstimulated. So we built DĀLY around a different kind of energy experience: smooth, focused, functional, and made for real life. Work. Workouts. Parenting. Travel. Early mornings. Long afternoons. Whatever your day looks like, DĀLY was made to keep up with it.

What is paraxanthine?

Paraxanthine is the primary metabolite your body naturally produces when it processes caffeine. In other words, when you drink caffeine, your body already converts much of it into paraxanthine. DĀLY skips the caffeine and delivers paraxanthine directly.

How is paraxanthine different from caffeine?

Caffeine has to be broken down by your body into several compounds, including paraxanthine. DĀLY skips that step and uses paraxanthine directly. The result is a cleaner, smoother and more predictable energy experience, with fewer of the jitters and crashes commonly associated with caffeine.

Is paraxanthine caffeine?

No. They're related, but they're not the same thing. Paraxanthine is one of the primary compounds your body naturally produces after you consume caffeine. Our energy products use paraxanthine directly, which means DĀLY is caffeine-free.

What is enfinity®?

enfinity® is the branded paraxanthine we use in DĀLY. It's a pure form of paraxanthine produced under strict quality standards for consistency and purity and backed by research into energy, focus, alertness, and cognitive performance.

Why paraxanthine instead of caffeine?

Because we wanted the energy without so much of the baggage. Research on enfinity® paraxanthine supports energy, focus, alertness and cognitive performance, with fewer of the common side effects associated with caffeine, like jitters and crashes. For us, that made paraxanthine a natural fit for the kind of energy experience we wanted DĀLY to deliver.

Will DĀLY make me jittery or cause a crash?

DĀLY was created specifically with a smoother energy experience in mind. Research on enfinity® paraxanthine has shown energy and focus benefits with fewer of the jitters and crashes commonly associated with caffeine. Everyone is different, though, so pay attention to how your body responds.

Is paraxanthine safe?

Research suggests enfinity® paraxanthine is well tolerated at typical serving sizes, with published research supporting its use at doses between 100–200 mg. As with any product containing a stimulant, follow the serving directions and talk with your healthcare provider if you have questions about whether it's right for you.

How much paraxanthine is in DĀLY?

It depends on what you're drinking:

• DĀLY Cans: 200 mg

• Energy + Electrolyte Sticks: 100 mg

• Electrolyte Sticks: 0 mg

So you can choose what makes sense for your day.

Can I drink DĀLY if I already drink coffee or other energy drinks?

Our paraxanthine-powered products are intended to be used instead of caffeine, not stacked on top of it. enfinity® recommends that paraxanthine not be combined with caffeine or other stimulants. If you're making the switch, think of DĀLY as your energy source rather than an addition to your usual caffeine.

When should I drink DĀLY?

Whenever your day calls for more energy and focus: morning, before a workout, or when that afternoon slump hits. Paraxanthine has a shorter half-life than caffeine, but it's still a stimulant, so we recommend avoiding it too close to bedtime. And when you just want hydration? That's exactly what our regular Electrolyte Sticks are for.

Who is DĀLY for?

People with full days. Work. Workouts. Parenting. Travel. Training. Early mornings and long afternoons. DĀLY is for anyone looking for energy that keeps up without taking over.

What's the difference between DĀLY Cans, Energy + Electrolyte Sticks and Electrolyte Sticks?

CANS = the full DĀLY energy experience. 200 mg of paraxanthine plus L-theanine, amino acids, botanicals, B vitamins, and electrolytes.

ENERGY + ELECTROLYTE STICKS = energy + hydration on the go. 100 mg of paraxanthine, 100 mg of L-theanine, electrolytes, and vitamin C.

ELECTROLYTE STICKS = hydration, anytime. Electrolytes and vitamin C with no paraxanthine and no caffeine.

Different days need different things. Pick your DĀLY.

How should I store DĀLY?

Keep DĀLY products in a cool, dry place. For cans, we recommend drinking them cold because, obviously, they're better that way.
