Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is StayWarm™? How does it work?
StayWarm™ is a ready-to-drink thermogenic shot that creates warmth naturally from the inside out. Instead of relying on layers or turning up the heat, it uses ingredients like black pepper extract to activate thermogenesis (the body's heat-producing process). The heat builds gradually and holds steady rather than hitting all at once, so people feel warmer in just a few minutes, and there’s no crash afterward. Alongside the warming effect, our formula helps with focus and mood, so your guests feel more alert, not just warmer. It's designed for anyone spending time in spaces where they have no control over the temperature, like nightclubs, warehouses, outdoor events, and over-air-conditioned offices.
2. What are StayWarm™’s ingredients?
StayWarm™'s formula includes: black pepper extract (piperine), beet root powder, green tea extract standardized to 20% EGCG, bitter orange, hibiscus flower, L-theanine, and niacin. Piperine is the most important for the thermogenic effect and helps the body absorb the other active ingredients better. Beet root supports healthy circulation, helping warmth reach the hands, feet, and extremities. Green tea extract and niacin are there for mental benefits and increased metabolism, while bitter orange keeps the warming effect going over time instead of giving you a burst followed by a crash. L-theanine keeps the energy smooth instead of jittery, and hibiscus gives our drink a bright, tart finish. Every serving has zero sugar and four calories.
3. What about side effects?
StayWarm™’s ingredients are all-natural and things you’ll find in the average kitchen. The dosages are also well-tolerated by most people. That said, it contains ingredients like green tea extract and bitter orange, so anyone sensitive to caffeine, managing a heart condition or high blood pressure, or who is pregnant or nursing should check with a doctor before regular use. There may also be medication interactions, so if you’re taking prescription medications, speak with a doctor before taking StayWarm™. It's not intended for anyone under 18, either. As with any supplement, we recommend following the label's serving guidance and avoiding combination with other stimulant products without medical advice.
4. How long does the warming effect last, and how fast does it work?
Most people notice the warming and focus effects within 10 to 15 minutes of drinking StayWarm™. It doesn’t hit all at once. Instead, it builds. We formulated our product to deliver warmth over time, rather than a quick surge-and-crash. Guests usually feel warm and alert for an hour or more, depending on their metabolism and body size. And since StayWarm™ creates thermogenesis rather than delivering a massive hit of caffeine by itself, there's no cliff-like drop-off once it wears off. This makes it good for nightclubs or long outdoor shifts where guests or staff need something that holds up over an extended stretch rather than a quick, temporary fix.
5. Does StayWarm™ need to be refrigerated, and what's the shelf life?
No, you don’t need to worry about refrigeration. StayWarm™ ships and stores at room temperature, which makes it easy to keep behind the bar or anywhere convenient to grab and serve. Each bottle has a printed shelf life and batch/lot number. Because it doesn't need cold storage, venues can order in case quantities and hold inventory without worrying about it spoiling or taking up freezer space, and it travels well for events where refrigeration isn't really possible. We recommend storing cases in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
6. What's the idea behind StayWarm™?
StayWarm™ was created by people who spent years standing in the cold for a living, from airports to nightclubs and warehouses. After hearing people complain about being cold in these environments, with no real fix, the idea took shape: a portable way to bring warmth to people who couldn't just go home or turn up the heat. StayWarm™ launched direct to consumers first, but found its strongest audience in bars and clubs.
7. What's the minimum order quantity for wholesale accounts?
We sell StayWarm™ wholesale by the case rather than individual bottles, which keeps packaging and shipping costs down for both sides. There is no minimum order and we’ll work with you to adjust your quantity as you get a handle on demand. We're happy to work with new accounts on a smaller trial order to test guest response, too. For established accounts, we offer recurring order schedules, so you're not manually reordering every time inventory runs low. Contact our wholesale team to find the right order size and cadence.
8. What about pricing and terms?
We base wholesale pricing on case volume. The more you buy, the lower the pricing. At a resale price of $10 per bottle, StayWarm™ helps venues enjoy healthier margins.
9. How do you ship and how long does it take for my order to arrive?
We ship each order of StayWarm™ by the case. Each order’s packed to hold up during transit without refrigeration or special handling. Most orders ship with delivery timing depending on your location and shipping method. Because StayWarm™ doesn't require cold storage, you don’t need to worry about the extra costs associated with cold shipping. We provide tracking information as soon as your order ships, and our wholesale team can help set up recurring shipments so your inventory stays stocked without placing a new order every time. Get in touch if you need expedited shipping.
10. What if I need custom branding, private labeling, or regional exclusivity?
We're open to conversations about custom branding, private labeling, and regional exclusivity for larger wholesale partners, but availability depends on order volume, market, and existing commitments in your area. If you're interested in carrying StayWarm™ under your own venue or event branding, or want to be the exclusive StayWarm™ provider in your market, reach out to our wholesale team directly to discuss what's possible. We handle these case by case, since they depend on factors like minimum volume commitments and nearby accounts already in place. Even without that type of arrangement, every wholesale partner gets access to marketing materials and point-of-sale support to help introduce StayWarm™ to their guests.
