ABOUT B4 - GENERAL FAQS

1What is B4?
Our newest product is here! The B4 Precovery Stack™ is an all-in-one wellness and performance supplement designed to help everyday high performers like you bring your A-game to everything you do. Power up your immunity or prep for a workout, sharpen your focus or prime your body for a night of drinking. Our travel-friendly powder lets you live your life without compromise.
2What is precovery™?
Preparing for your recovery. Drinking a B4 to prime your body so you can show up ready for anything, without compromise.
3What’s a precovery™ stack?

We’ve combined a proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, plant extracts, amino acids and antioxidants - stacking them together to create our everyday performance and wellness supplement to give you these four key benefits:

+ Maximum Hydration
+ Natural Detoxifier
+ Immunity Boost
+ Caffeine-Free Energy

4How and when do I take B4 for best results?
  • Mix one packet thoroughly into 16 ounces of water.
  • Take within an hour before activity.
  • Recommended with food in your stomach.
  • Consume 1-2 times a day with moderate activity.
5Can I drink more than one per day?
Yes! Consume 1-2 times a day with moderate activity. For extreme activity (such as, running a marathon or climbing a mountain), your body may need more. B4 helps you prepare for activity by filling you up on the vitamins and nutrients your body will need for you to show up ready and perform your best. If you take in more than you need, your body will eliminate the rest.
6Do I have to drink it before?
Well, it’s called B4 (pronounced BEFORE :) Our CEO is a pharmacist and he recommends drinking it before activity for optimum results. Taking it after is also a great way to recover or replenish what your body uses during activity.
7What did we leave out of the B4 precoveryTM powder formula?
B4 powder is free of:

Caffeine
GMO
Gluten
Dairy
Soy
Allergens
Preservatives
Artificial flavors and sweeteners
Synthetic colors

HYDRATION FAQS

1Why can’t I just drink water?

The quick answer?
With B4, you can rehydrate faster (like an IV) and stay hydrated longer, boost energy and improve focus.

The long version (What? Our founder is a scientist. Nerd on if you want more.) Most of us think we drink enough water but 70% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. And water alone isn’t enough. You can only absorb a certain amount of water at a time and at a certain rate. B4 helps force water into your cells.

B4 offers fast, long-lasting, cellular-level hydration 3x more powerful than H₂O alone. Plus 3x more electrolytes than leading sports drinks.

We use the World Health Organization’s Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) ratios as the basis for our formula, which includes sodium, potassium, chloride and glucose. ORS are designed specifically to prevent and treat dehydration.

Your body needs hydration in order to function properly. 60% of our body is made of water; it’s essential for your body to function. Staying hydrated protects your organs, flushes out water and toxins, and carries nutrients and oxygen to your cells.

You can become tired, lose focus or strength when you’re dehydrated because your body is forced to prioritize function in order to reserve fluid. Dehydration can reduce physical function and cause cognitive impairment, resulting in reduced muscle coordination, reasoning, mental math, decision making and more.

2How is this different from a hydration product (ie. Liquid IV, Pedialyte)

Our stack includes the maximum hydration available. But that’s only one of our four benefits. B4 is the first all-in-one wellness and performance supplement. You no longer have to worry about taking 20+ supplements a day or relying on a simple multivitamin supplement that really doesn't give you enough ingredients to see any real benefit in your wellness. B4 will give you the maximum hydration, immunity boost, natural detoxifier and energy you need to win your day, without the caffeine.

Created by a pharmacist, our CEO, John Mansour.

3Why does B4 have sodium at the levels present in their stack?
Because it’s part of the specific formula that helps hydrate you and keep you hydrated. We use the World Health Organization’s Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS), which includes sodium, potassium, chloride and glucose. ORS are designed specifically to prevent and treat dehydration.
4How does B4 provide maximum hydration?
We use the World Health Organization’s Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) ratios as the basis for our formula, which includes sodium, potassium, chloride and glucose. ORS are designed specifically to prevent and treat dehydration. Simply put, it tricks your cells to hold onto water, instead of pissing it all out (yeah, we said that on the internet.) B4 gives you 219% more electrolytes than the leading sports drinks and 3x hydration of H2O alone.

DETOX FAQS

1What makes B4 a natural detoxifier?

With our powerhouse blend of glutathione (master detoxifier), milk thistle extract, amino acid NAC, and DHM to reduce stress on the liver after drinking alcohol.

Glutathione Read more here

Milk Thistle is an extract of seeds of the flowering plant in the daisy family. It has shown to regenerate liver cells and protect from toxic injury. A powerful antioxidant, it protects DNA from damage, especially alcohol-related. This along with all the other items added will help protect, breakdown and remove alcohol and its byproducts from the system.

NAC
A form of cysteine, which is used in hospital ER’s to treat acetaminophen (Tylenol ® ) poisoning. Used to detoxify the liver of heavy metals and other toxins/free radicals. NAC is also the precursor to Glutathione synthesis in the liver. Glutathione and NAC both remove the toxins and their byproducts of alcohol.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
A fatty acid that is essential to the body’s production of energy. Helps with fatigue, memory loss and clearing glucose from the bloodstream and insulin sensitivity. Can possibly help with recycling of other antioxidants

DHM Read more below

2What is DHM?
Also known as dihydromyricetin, DHM is an extract from the Japanese Raisin Tree that supports the liver’s natural detoxification process. When alcohol-induced toxins build up in our bodies after drinking, DHM increases the activity of metabolizing enzymes to help those toxins break down faster.
3What are the benefits of glutathione?

It’s a big deal! The body’s most powerful antioxidant and master detoxifier. Glutathione restores vitamins A, E and C. Still not sure. Google will back us up!

Glutathione is critical for protecting cells from oxidative stress and the damage caused from toxins. It also enhances the immune system, which is one reason glutathione is getting so much attention with regard to COVID-19. As a supplement, glutathione supports detoxification. B4 also contains NAC, which helps raise your body’s natural glutathione levels. And the alpha-lipoic acid in our formula helps regenerate antioxidants, including glutathione.

Glutathione also plays a major role in alcohol detoxification. When the body is put under the stress of oxidation and acetaldehyde (the toxin in alcohol), impairment of normal body function occurs. The increase in these levels occurs through the depletion of glutathione. Restoring glutathione, along with all other key vitamins and minerals allows the body eliminate these toxins and function naturally. Glutathione binds to toxins to transform them into compounds that can be eliminated through waste. We used the “reduced” form of glutathione to ensure oral absorption.

IMMUNITY FAQS

1How can B4 help boost my immunity?

B4 protects against pollutants, toxins and viruses AND helps you stay hydrated. Adding our supplement to your routine can help you and your family stay healthy!
Here’s how.

Maximum Hydration
Critical for recovery, staying hydrated helps to regulate body temperature and relieve fever, supports digestion, cleans airways and improves breathing, improves blood volume and oxygen flow, improves brain function and helps alleviate viral dehydration symptoms.

Caffeine-free Energy
Gives cells the metabolic energy they need to fight off infections and viruses without caffeine, which can decrease the immune system’s ability to function optimally.

Immunity Boosters
B4 contains a powerful blend of 15 immunity boosting ingredients - B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, NAC, carnitine, alpha lipoic acid and glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant. Glutathione’s unique molecular structure makes it much stronger than other antioxidants like vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, earning it the nickname of “master antioxidant.” It acts as a protective agent against pollutants, toxins and viruses.

2How can B4 help me show up ready?

B4 was pharmacist-created to help everyday high performers like you prime your body and your mind so you can show up ready and bring your A-game to everything you do.

Daily Wellness - Show up ready for your day, every day. Boost your liver and your immune system. We can all use a little more support to stay healthy and fight illnesses.

3Is B4 a hangover cure?
The FDA says there is no such thing. A hangover is considered a disease state that can’t be treated, cured or prevented by a supplement. But, if the proper combination of liquid and antioxidants (i.e. vitamins, minerals and extracts) are taken before or right after you start drinking alcohol, the aftereffects may be avoided or at least reduced.

FOCUS FAQS

1How does B4 help with focus?

Hydration
Staying hydrated helps you focus, concentrate, create and function at your best. Your brain is 75% water used to deliver essential nutrients and remove toxins more efficiently.

B-12
Works by helping to maintain the nerve cells in the brain. This will help to have healthy brain function, such as memory and concentration.

Alpha Ketoglutaric acid
Creates L-Glutamine which is a neurotransmitter and aids in property brain function with memory and concentration.

L-Carnitine which helps with brain cell communication leading to increased ability with learning and concentration levels.

B6 - Helps reduce Homocysteine which is shown to cause damage to brain tissue long term when Homocysteine is at an increased level long term. Reduction in Homocysteine can help to protect the brain.

B1 - Provides energy the brain cells need to work at a high level consistently throughout the day, helping to prevent fatigue, short-term memory loss, confusion, and irritability.

B2 - Helps to reduce oxidative stress (helps to removes free radicals), reduction in mitochondrial dysfunction (meaning - helps the powerhouse of the cell to generate the cellular energy your body needs to function), reduction in neuroinflammation (inflammation of the nervous tissue in the brain). B2 also aids in the activation of Vitamin B6, both of which increase homocysteine metabolism.

OTHER FAQS

1How is the powder different from the cans?

Similar to its canned counterpart, the Precovery™ Stack is formulated with the same lineup of powerhouse ingredients but with a slew of additional benefits:

- Reduced B12 by half (catch more Z’s)
- Magnesium reduced (less trips to the bathroom)
- DHM (additional layer of liver protection and detoxifying)
- Reduced sugar levels (maximizing hydration)
- It’s travel friendly!
- Mention improved taste?

The new formula is still vegan and free GMO, gluten, dairy, soy, allergens, preservatives, artificial sweeteners and flavors, and synthetic colors.

2Why is B4 a better value than its competition?

More powerful than the leading sports drinks, hydration powder packs and energy drinks. We’re leading in a category of our own - Precovery™. The price point is due to the supplement having large quantities of 20 active pharmaceutical-grade ingredients hand selected by a pharmacist (our CEO) to prime and protect your body so you can show up ready for anything, without compromise for drinks, overall wellness, exercise, time in the heat or sun, travel and focus.

B4 is all about full transparency. We want you to understand why B4 is the clear leader in a category of its own - precoveryTM. See how B4 stacks up.

3B4 has high daily values of so many key ingredients. Is it safe to take so much at once?
Yes, your body will process naturally what it needs to use and what it needs to store and any excess will be removed in waste.
4Why does B4 contain 5 grams of sugar?

Sugar is a functional ingredient. The answer is twofold:
1. Provides the energy your body needs to process alcohol.
2. Part of the our hydration formula* that helps force water into your cells.
*We use the World Health Organization’s ORS (oral rehydration salts) formula, which is potassium + sodium + sugar + chloride.
