Try it Risk-free for 90 days. If you don't feel the difference, we'll refund 100% of your purchase.

what is the shift stick?

A single-serve drink mix built for 12-hour shifts. Each stick combines two things:

  • Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium): they help your body actually hold on to the water you drink, instead of passing straight through. They also replace what you lose through sweat on long, busy shifts.
  • 5g of creatine: your muscles and brain store creatine as a quick energy reserve. Taking it daily fills those stores over 3–4 weeks, which supports strength and mental performance when you're tired.*

It has 0g sugar and zero caffeine, and it fits in your scrubs pocket.

when do i take it?

Before you clock in. Mix one stick into 12–20 oz of cold water and finish it in the car or the locker room. On your days off, take one as part of your recovery routine. One a day, 30 sticks a month.

will it keep me up after a night shift?

No. There's zero caffeine in it, on purpose, so you can sleep when you get home.

is it safe for me?

Every stick uses well-studied ingredients at standard amounts, with no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney disease, or take medication that affects your kidneys, talk to your doctor first.

when will i notice a difference?

You'll feel the hydration from your first shift: fewer end-of-shift headaches, less of the hour-11 crash. The creatine builds over 3–4 weeks of daily use, so give it a full box before you judge it.

Why it exists

Twelve hours. No water break. You know the drill.

Nurses can't drink on the floor, sleep at the wrong hours, and run on fumes by hour 11. Every supplement brand is built for the gym or for everyone. We built one for you.

The ritual

Pre-load before you clock in.

You can't sip at the nurses' station, so drink it before the shift starts. Then take one on your days off, because creatine works when you take it every day.

  1. Pre-load

    One stick in 12–20 oz of cold water. Finish it in the car or the locker room.

  2. Clock in

    Start the shift already hydrated, not already behind.

  3. Break, if you get one

    Refill your bottle. The spare stick lives in your pocket.

  4. Clock out

    No caffeine in the stick, so nothing stands between you and sleep.

Days off: recover

One stick a day keeps your creatine topped up between stretches of 12s. Thirty sticks a month, matched to how creatine actually works.

How to use it

Thirty seconds. One hand.

  1. 1

    Tear

    The notch opens cleanly with one hand. No scissors, no spill.

  2. 2

    Pour

    Into 12–20 oz of cold water. Less water, more flavor.

  3. 3

    Shake

    About 30 seconds. Micronized creatine dissolves without the grit.

  4. 4

    Drink before you clock in

    Then once a day on your days off.

Questions

The things nurses ask us.

Straight answers on creatine, caffeine and fitting it into a 12-hour shift.

Will creatine make me bulky or bloated?

No. Creatine doesn't add muscle on its own; that takes training. Some people hold a little extra water inside the muscle in the first weeks. That's normal, and it isn't bloating or fat.

Creatine is one of the most-studied supplements there is, and women are now one of its fastest-growing groups of users.

Do I need it on my days off?

Yes, if you want the creatine to work. Creatine builds up in your muscles with daily use, so one stick a day is the routine. That's why a box holds 30.

How fast will I notice a difference?

The hydration part works from the first stick. Creatine builds over 3–4 weeks of daily use, so give it a month before you judge it.

Is there caffeine?

None. Night-shift nurses need to sleep when they get home, so we left it out on purpose.

Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Talk to your doctor first. The same applies if you have kidney disease or take medication that affects your kidneys.

Can I drink it on the floor?

That's up to your unit's rules. Many units don't allow drinks in patient areas, which is why we built the ritual around pre-loading before you clock in and refilling on break.

What does PRN Peach taste like?

Ripe peach, lightly sweet, with no salty or chalky aftertaste. It's sweetened with stevia and monk fruit, never sugar or sucralose.
