What exactly is inside JiM, and why does it matter?

We’ve broken down every functional ingredient in JiM: how each one may help you feel good, recover faster, and get on with your day. JiM isn’t just another soda. It’s a No Nonsense Functional Soda built for movement, mindset, and real-life recovery.

Whether you’re lifting, working, or just need a pick-me-up that doesn’t send you crashing, here’s what powers every can of JiM.

Protein: The Real MVP (5g per can) 

You read that right: 5g of protein in every can — and no, it doesn’t taste milky or chalky. This protein comes straight from our amino acids (not an added protein source) to help you refuel after activity or a long day.

Why it matters:

• May support muscle recovery
• May reduce post-exercise soreness
• Helps keep you fuller, for longer
  

Whether you're in active mode or chill mode, protein plays a big part in helping your body bounce back.

Recovery Blend (Glutamine + BCAAs | 5,000mg)

What does the recovery blend actually do?

This is where JiM really earns its spot in your fridge. Our recovery blend includes 3,000mg of L-Glutamine and 2,000mg of BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) — a functional amount that may actually do something.

Glutamine may support:

• Muscle glycogen replenishment
• Gut health and immune function
• Faster post-exercise recovery
  
  

BCAAs may help:

• Reduce exercise-related muscle fatigue
• Support muscle maintenance
  Promote recovery without relying on stimulants

No filler. No fluff. Just ingredients that work.

Organic Prebiotic Fiber (1g)

Gut health is the unsung hero of feeling your best. Each can of JiM delivers 1g of organic prebiotic fiber (INAVEA) to keep your digestive system moving and your microbiome happy.

Why gut health matters:

• Feeds your good gut bacteria
• Supports regular digestion
• May help with immune regulation and nutrient absorption
  
  

In short? Good vibes start in the gut.

Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic)

Yes, we’ve added organic ACV -  but we’ve done it the non-horrible-tasting way. It adds function without overpowering the flavour.

Benefits may include:

• Helping balance blood sugar levels
  
• Supporting metabolism and digestion
• Offering gentle detox support
  
  

You won’t taste it. But your body might just thank you.

No Sugar. No Caffeine. No BS.

Unlike most recovery or performance drinks, JiM is 100% caffeine-free and sugar-free. We sweeten naturally with erythritol and stevia, so you get all the flavour without the crash (or the calories).

Perfect for:

• Afternoon sipping without the buzz
• Pregnant or breastfeeding people
• Those sensitive to caffeine
• Anyone who’s tired of sugar highs and lows
  
  

How JiM Stacks Up (vs “The Other Guys”)

Here’s the truth: not all recovery drinks are created equal. Let’s compare:

Why the difference matters:

If you’re after a drink that actually does something for your body (without the extras you didn’t ask for) JiM’s your guy.

Flavour Profiles (The Fun Bit)

We didn’t stop at function: we made it taste ridiculously good too. Here's how each flavour hits:

Golden Pash

A full-bodied passionfruit hit. Inspired by a fizzy Aussie classic: not a trace of orange or pineapple here 😉.

Lem’n’ade

Think grown-up lemonade stand vibes. Crisp, bright, and lemony fresh.

Rarr-berry

Bold raspberry flavour with a tart twist. It’s golden hour in a can.

Bottom Line

JiM isn’t your average can of bubbles. It’s a full-on functional recovery soda packed with real ingredients to help you feel stronger, fresher, and more like yourself: without the sugar, caffeine, or weird stuff.

So the next time you're grabbing a drink post-training, mid-shift, or just because...

Make it a JiM.
