The supplement aisle is broken.
Too many ingredients. Too many claims.
Too many products trying to fix everything at once.
Powders you have to mix. Capsules you forget to take.
Labels you don't trust.
Everything is "optimized." Nothing actually fits into your life.
Buffer is the opposite.
One ingredient.
One job.
No filler.
If it's for caffeine, it's L-theanine. Suntheanine® specifically — the form that's actually been studied. No blends. No guessing. No wondering what's working.
the situation
America is wired.
And not in a good way.
Coffee consumption is at an all-time high. So is anxiety. These two facts are not unrelated. We've been drinking caffeine for centuries and nobody ever thought to fix it.
"I just need to cut back on caffeine."
— everyone, every January, forever
You're not going to cut back. We know it. You know it. The barista knows it. The question is: what if you didn't have to?
The caffeine companion.
You drink caffeine.
We make it less weird.
There's a thing in green tea that takes the edge off caffeine. It's been there the whole time. Scientists figured it out. We put it in a gummy. Your coffee was just missing a plus-one.
How it works.
Keep the buzz.
Lose the noise.
Step one: drink your coffee. Step two: take two buffer gummies. Step three: feel like a person. That's it. No new routine. No blender. No powders.
Energy that doesn't spike and bail
No crash. No weird comedown.
Focus without the jitters
Your brain, but it picked up the phone.
Zero added caffeine
Just the gummy. You bring the coffee.
The difference
Same coffee. Different Tuesday.
Two gummies with your morning coffee. Nothing else changes.
Without buffer
Drink your caffeine.
Feel it kick in weird. Kinda wired, kinda not.
Crash at 2pm. Stare at wall. Consider a career change.
With buffer
Drink your caffeine.
Take two buffer gummies. That's literally it.
Feel like yourself, but the version that actually replies to emails.
What people say
People who tried it. And their honest takes.
"I started taking buffer with my morning coffee and the difference was immediate. I feel the caffeine working without feeling like I need to pace around the room. Better mood, no crash, no 2pm regrets. It just makes the whole thing better."
Evan R.
Daily coffee drinker
"Coffee, matcha, yerba mate. Doesn't matter what I drink. With buffer I feel like a person. Without it I'm scattered and crashing an hour later. It's the difference between caffeine working and caffeine just happening to you."
Griffin N.
Situational caffeine user
"Switched to cold brew, thought I was being healthy. I was not being healthy. buffer made the afternoons actually fine. No 3pm wall. No staring at my screen hoping something happens."
Jordan K.
Cold brew regular
"I don't need a gummy to upgrade my caffeine. I'm fine. My eye has been twitching since Tuesday but that's just how I am now. Gave it one star because zero wasn't an option."
Chad M.
6 espressos a day, allegedly optimized

The competition
The other guys look like they belong in a hospital waiting room.
Based on publicly available product information. Generic brands represent typical L-theanine supplements.
The idea
Take this with
your _______.
You don't need a new routine. You already have one. We're not here to replace any of it. We're here to make it better.
If we can't finish that sentence, we don't make it.
How much caffeine do you drink?
Drag the slider. We'll tell you how bad it is.
Two drinks. Totally normal. buffer makes sure it actually works.

Building something
worth backing.
Buffer is the first gummy made specifically for people who drink caffeine. Coffee, energy drinks, pre-workout, whatever. Which is basically everyone. 82% of American adults. A $284B+ market that has never had a product built for it. Simple idea. Huge audience.
