Bucked Up is a mainstream-style brand, hitting all of the popular categories and trends, but every now and then, it gets into specialized areas that are both surprising and reasonably well-put-together. The brand’s latest innovation, Flow, is a great example of that, focusing on support rather than stimulation. It is a capsule-based, non-stimulant product designed to specifically target circulation, recovery, mental clarity, and adrenal function.
The formula behind Bucked Up’s Flow begins with 200mg of theanine, providing calm, focused clarity, then you get 100mg of grape seed extract for vascular support and blood flow. Moving on down the facts panel, there is 100mg of rhodiola extract, delivering adaptogenic support for stress and fatigue, and 20mg of pyrroloquinoline quinone or PQQ for mitochondrial and cognitive support.
The two remaining ingredients in Bucked Up’s latest are 60mg of Shoden ashwagandha aimed at supporting cortisol balance and recovery, and the star of the supplement, 20mg of NOV8, a fermented blend of cabbage, lettuce, and garlic. NOV8 is highlighted right on the front of Flow’s bottle, bigger than the brand’s logo, and it is designed to enhance nitric oxide signaling through a distinct plant-based pathway.
Flow is quite an interesting supplement, as Bucked Up promotes it as something for those who frequently use stimulants. The idea is that you use it alongside the likes of a pre-workout or even energy drinks, to support and potentially improve the areas of health and wellness that stimulant-powered products can take a toll on. Hence, Flow aims to help with cortisol, stress, recovery, blood flow, circulation, and adrenal function.
Bucked Up has priced Flow at the premium end of things at $54.99, which is around where most specialized health, wellness, and support supplements end up. Flow does actually come with 60 servings, so don’t think of it as $55 extra per month, as you are meant to take only a single serving a day, making it $27 a month.
