Our Vision

“The energy of the mind is the essence of life.” - Aristotle
We get it.

In today’s highly competitive and stressful world, daily challenges require us to do more, work faster, and to constantly be “on the ball”.

The to-do list seems to grow longer every day and it’s very hard to keep up. It is only made worse by stress, scattered thoughts, poor memory, anxiety and mental fatigue which hold us back from achieving our true potential and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

We have lived this too. It causes a lot of problems and pain. And we wanted to find a solution...

Our founder, Mark Curry, wanted to solve this problem he and all his colleagues were facing in the corporate world. He was working as a lawyer, and quit this job, to study nutrition, and start a business that would help to  solve this problem we all face and bring something new and unique to the world of nutrition.

Mark used to be the "weird lawyer" on level 6 who used to bring a 4kg tub of orange-brown powder that was a mixture of 20 amazing ingredients called nootropics. His friends and co-workers would have a table spoon of powder, and then put cordial on the top and drink.

The results blew their mind.

"My co-workers were always telling me how much better this powdered mixture of ingredients was over coffee, tea, energy drinks, soda or any other focus-aids they would take. 

They would ask me where they can get something similar, and I would always say that they can't - this was the only nootropic mix in Australia at the time in 2016 and I was importing the ingredients from all over the world, carefully measuring them out, and then mixing them together in a tupperware tub.

Then one day - it hit me. This was what I had to do. 

I had to work out how to make this product available for everyone. 
I wanted to make the world a better place by giving everyone something stronger and longer-lasting than coffee, something with more benefits that could counteract stress, while improving mood, enhancing mental performance and without a crash!"
- Mark Curry

This led to the creation of SAVVY.
Our products will improve your brain, but they won’t make you ace an exam you haven’t studied for, blitz a meeting when you didn’t prepare, or win your sports final if you haven’t trained, but it will help you improve all the little things.

It will motivate you to get a little more study done, put that phone down, ace that preparation, train a little harder, stress less and enjoy each moment more… Because that’s what being life savvy is all about...

"We aren’t just making a drink with health benefits for your body and mind. We are making the best drink for your body and mind."

Savvy exists to contribute to the healthy future of Australians by enriching their minds and bodies with essential nutrients required for enhanced mental and physical performance. Enabling people to do more, feel better and be more.

We believe that being life-savvy is about being more focused, alert and motivated, bringing the A-game, enjoying mental clarity, while feeling calmer, collected and in control. And in today’s world - those are your keys to success. 

You can get more out of your day by getting more out of your brain. We all know what it’s like to have those moments when we’re “on the ball” and everything makes sense. The very best of our productive and creative potential is fully available.

Most of us don’t have those moments often enough, bogged down by mental fatigue, stress and anxiety. By lowering their stress, and resisting burnout, improving their mood, people have more energy to enjoy their lives more.

Our Founder and chief nutritionist - Mark Curry
 

There’s a huge problem of burnout and people being overworked in most companies. It has become “the norm” to always be too busy and too tired.

By lowering their stress, and resisting burnout, improving their mood, people have more energy to enjoy their lives more.

Mark spent years researching the solution, driven by a desire to improve people’s mental performance and provide a ‘better for you’ option for people. After boring his co-workers and friends senseless with nutritional facts, he quit the corporate life to start on the beverage.

“I quit my job to make products that help people feel better and enable them to take back control of their energy every day.”

As the idea of a healthy energy-drink is basically a paradox - the drink had to be fundamentally different and break new ground. And the Savvy journey began.

Mark teamed up with some of the best and brightest minds in Australia in nutrition, science and health to create a drink based on real science. A beverage that is evidence-based that is so damn good, because of its benefits, that you would want to drink it every day!

In 2016, mental performance drinks didn’t exist in Sydney. They didn’t exist anywhere. Savvy wanted to unlock the potential of people and educate them about the benefits of cognitive health and performance. When 2019 rolled around, we properly launched our first drink and thrust SAVVY BEVERAGES into Australia and the spotlight.

CALM+ Nootropic Bar

10/10 LOVE THIS BAR

Delicious and actually amazing at reducing stress and making me feel amazing every single lunch time. Could not be more pleased with this.

Better Than My Morning Flat White

I used to smash a coffee and a Red Bull before client meetings just to stay sharp. Now I just have this nootropic drink and I’m firing on all cylinders—no crash, no jitters, and it’s actually good for me. My nutritionist wife even approves.

Stronger Than My Ex's Opinions

monster used to be my go to until I realised I was jittery, sweaty, and yelling at spreadsheets. This is smoother, lasts longer, and I don’t feel like death afterwards

Had Me At ‘Made By Nutritionists’

I trust nutritionists more than I trust doctors. This drink’s got more good-for-you ingredients than my weekly salad shop and it somehow keeps me sharp through long strategy meetings.

Easily BEST DRINK I have had!!!

So this is an amazing drink and it made me swap my morning Monster for nootropics and it’s been a game-changer. No crash, no jitters—just clean, focused energy that actually helps me think clearer and stay productive. Feels like fuel for your brain instead of a sugar bomb.

So into this for focus

Brain + body both feel switched on.

Game-changer for long days!

I need to stay creative and focused. This helps with mental stamina and I no longer feel foggy halfway through the day.

Big upgrade from my old habits!

I work in tech and spend most days problem solving. This gives me the edge I need to stay in the zone without relying on too much caffeine.

Solid pick for busy days!

Im a physio and spend hours one-on-one with clients. This helps me stay mentally present and energised throughout the day without crashing like I used to after coffee. It is now a staple on my desk every morning.

Coffee for business owners!

Perfect for smashing out tasks when I'm on a deadline. Running a small business means I have to be switched on all day. This helps me think clearer and stay calm when things get hectic. Highly recommend it to other founders.

My mornings feel upgraded!

I was sceptical at first. But it actually helps with mental clarity and I dont feel as drained by lunchtime. Tastes better than I expected too.

So reliable every time!

I work in finance and the mental load can be intense. This drink helps me stay alert and make faster decisions without the wired feeling I usually get from energy drinks.

Best coffee alternative ever!!

As a nurse doing shift work, I needed something to help without wrecking my sleep. This gives me clean energy and I feel less frazzled even on back-to-back shifts. This is my go-to for days when I need to think fast.

This changed my workflow!

Im a high school teacher and I rely on this to keep my energy steady. My head feels clearer and I have way more patience in the afternoons which is saying something.

More focus, better results!

As a lawyer juggling long days in court, this stuff keeps me sharp without the crash. It helps me stay focused through briefs and client meetings better than coffee ever did.

Best thing ive added this year to my diet!

An essential part of my daily focus routine now.

Huge help during deadlines!

This is my go-to for days when I need to think fast.

Swapped out my espresso shot!

I moved from AG1 to this and will not look back. I love that an aussie business is making these amazing products and is winning recognition for their hard work! Go savvy!!!!!

big up with no down!

The first greens I actually ENJOYED having

finally brain food and it works!

Really wonderful product

Actually enjoy drinking this!

these are actually crazy good. They do exactly what they say - help with being calmer, more focused and just feeling more mentally present at work

Crucial part of my prep!

A big fan of this health bar. Will continue to buy as they have become my arvo snack

More alert and motivated

Motivated and focused every single day.

From foggy to focused!

legit delicious and makes a huge different to how much I get done every day

Big win for my morning energy!

I get quite distrracted at work, and this makes a huge difference every day to my mood and ability to focus
