hiyo is an organic social tonic crafted with adaptogens, nootropics, and functional botanicals to be a better-than-alcohol alternative. mindfully crafted with premium ingredients like ashwagandha, lion’s mane, l-theanine, cordyceps, ginger and turmeric, each can of Hiyo produces a delightful sensation that we like to call “the float.” hiyo comes in three refreshing flavors: peach mango, watermelon lime, and blackberry lemon.

well, we’re biased, but we’d say it tastes like the best drink you’ve ever had. unbiased, hiyo is a refreshing fruity seltzer. our peach mango is sweet and tropical, our watermelon lime is bright and refreshing, and our blackberry lemon is bold and flavorful.

welllllll, each hiyo is USDA organic certified and crafted with only the most bio-available, premium ingredients the world has to offer with just 30 calories per can. hiyo is also non-gmo, gluten-free, vegan. so, we certainly think so!

"the float" is a delightful sensation that comes from the 1.5 grams of functionals that are in every can of hiyo. some say it melts stress-away, others say it makes them feel more present, while others wanna’ get up and dance. honestly, you just have to try it for yourself.

put simply, it’s a combination of our 6 main functional ingredients. ashwagandha relieves stress, l-theanine promotes calm focus, lion’s mane promotes clarity and cognitive function, cordyceps boosts energy, turmeric reduces inflammation, and ginger aids digestion.

hiyo is a better-than-alcohol alternative, 0% abv, non-alcoholic, alcohol-free seltzer. so...no, no alcohol here.

nope–we want you to be able to sleep soundly after a night in or out. our natural lift comes from organic cordyceps mushroom extract and won’t keep you up. in fact, l-theanine has been known to promote more restful sleep*

first off, sounds like you have a #coolgrandma. simply put, we’re non-cannabis derived and our feeling is slightly more pronounced. plus, cbd is supposed to mellow you out and is often used as a sleep aid, whereas with hiyo, we want you to feel stress-free and present–almost like a runner’s high*

cuz life is stressful and you deserve a stress-free, self-love sippin session! the primary reason we included this adaptogenic wonder-herb in hiyo is that it has been clinically shown to regulate cortisol levels (the fight-or-flight chemical) and help reduce stress.* we also use KSM-66 ashwaghandha because it is a full-spectrum extract, with the highest concentration of all major root only extracts available on the market today. It is produced using a unique proprietary extraction process, based on “Green Chemistry” principles, without using alcohol or any other chemical solvent.

besides being presidents of the l-theanine fan club in high school, we wanted to include l-theanine to encourage a focused calm. if you’re sensing a theme here, yes, we want hiyo to promote a less stressful experience for our hiyo fam.

we included lion’s mane in hiyo because this adaptogenic mushroom is like your brain’s best friend. Lion’s mane contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and nerve growth factors, and has even been linked with reversing effects of dementia. so while alcohol is killing brain cells, we’re beefing them up.

adaptogens are potent herbs and mushrooms that help the body adapt to counteract the harmful effects of stress. they regulate our cortisol levels, helping our bodies reach a more balanced state.

nootropics are compounds that support healthy brain function. they’re known to improve cognitive processing, mood, creativity, and focus. some are natural and some are synthetic, but don’t worry, our l-theanine and lion’s mane are both natural and our lion’s mane is organic.

we like to think of them as plants with benefits. while you still may be getting familiar with adaptogens and nootropics, we bet you’ve heard of ginger and turmeric. this organic duo aids digestion and reduces inflammation.

if you’re new to hiyo, we suggest drinking a single can and going from there to discover your own version of "the float". that said, we don’t recommend drinking more than four cans in a single sitting, as you’ll reach your daily value of the ingredients, causing the functionality to plateau. if you have a health condition or are taking medication, we suggest you consult with your doctor before drinking hiyo.

while there’s nothing to suggest drinking hiyo would have an adverse effect, we suggest you consult with your doctor before drinking hiyo if pregnant or breastfeeding.

yes—but be cautious and assess your tolerance prior to operating any vehicle.
