    The Short Version

    Mix one scoop into 12–16 oz of cold water, drink it, repeat as needed. That's it. The longer answer — when, how often, Day vs Night, with food or without — is what makes the difference between "I tried it" and "this changed my routine."

    Day vs Night: What's Actually Different

    2THIRTY ships in two formulas. Same hydration backbone, different functional layers on top.

    Day ModeNight Mode
    Built forFocus, energy, daily hydrationPre-covery before drinks
    Standout ingredientsB-vitamins, ginseng, vitamin CNAC, milk thistle, L-glutathione, L-theanine
    CaffeineNoneNone
    When to drinkMorning, mid-afternoon, pre-workout1-2 hours before drinking, plus one before bed

    Both flavors pour light pink. Both are zero-sugar. The difference is what they're loaded for.

    How to Mix It

  1. Water temperature: cold water dissolves it cleanest. Room temperature works.
  2. Volume: 12-16 oz is the sweet spot for taste and absorption. Less = more concentrated flavor.
  3. Bottle, glass, shaker: all fine. No need to shake aggressively — stir or swirl for 10 seconds.
  4. In cocktails: yes. Mixes neatly into vodka soda, tequila soda, gin and tonic. See the cocktail guide.
  5. When to Take It (By Use Case)

    Daily hydration baseline

    One Day scoop with breakfast or right after waking up. This sets your electrolyte and B-vitamin floor for the day.

    Pre-workout

    One Day scoop 30-45 minutes before training. Skip the sugar-loaded pre-workout — you get electrolytes, B12, and ginseng without the crash.

    Afternoon slump

    Instead of a third coffee, mix a Day scoop at 2-3 PM. The B-vitamins and L-theanine cover the energy gap without disrupting sleep.

    Pre-covery (going out)

    One Night scoop 1-2 hours before your first drink. The NAC and milk thistle need lead time to start working in the liver. Optional second Night scoop before bed.

    Long travel days

    One pack per flight segment. Cabin air is brutally dehydrating; B-vitamins help with the fatigue.

    Hot weather, festivals, sports days

    Day scoop every 2-3 hours of sun and activity. Don't wait until you feel thirsty.

    How Many Per Day Is Reasonable

    Most people land at 1-2 packs per day for daily use, with 3 packs on heavy days (workout + going out, or festival days). The formula is dosed to be a daily product, not a one-off.

    You won't run into issues stacking Day and Night in the same 24 hours — they're complementary, not duplicative.

    What Not to Do

  6. Don't mix it with hot water — heat degrades a few of the heat-sensitive vitamins
  7. Don't pre-mix and leave it sitting overnight — drink within a few hours of mixing
  8. Don't replace meals with it — it's a supplement to a real diet, not a calorie source
  9. Don't expect a "buzz" — there's no caffeine and no sugar; the effects are felt as steady energy, not a jolt
  10. The Bottom Line

    2THIRTY works best as a habit, not a rescue. Start with one scoop a day in the morning, add a second when the day calls for it, and reach for Night mode whenever drinks are on the schedule.
