How often do you wake up already tired?

Hi!! We’re Alessandro and Camila, the creators of RYTMO.

We live in Geneva and love being on the move, staying active, doing sports, learning, and trying new things.

For a long time, we relied on coffee to keep up with the energy we felt we needed. It was the first thing we had every morning.

Until it stopped working the way it used to.

Days with 3 or 4 coffees. Feeling constantly wired. Sleeping worse.

And sometimes, even after drinking it, feeling too anxious to properly focus.

That’s when we started questioning something very simple:

Do we really need this to have energy?

Let’s be honest, coffee itself isn’t the problem.

The problem is how normal it has become to depend on it.

The body already produces energy naturally. And consuming caffeine first thing in the morning can interfere with that process, making you rely more and more on external stimulation.

We tried different alternatives, but when we looked at the ingredients, we kept noticing the same thing over and over again:

  • poorly designed formulas
  • ingredients in doses that were too low,
  • or products that promised a lot but delivered very little.

THAT’S WHY WE CREATED RYTMO

A functional drink designed as a real alternative to caffeine.

Designed to support energy, mental clarity and focus, and something you genuinely enjoy drinking.

RYTMO is a powder blend of 13 carefully selected ingredients, each with a specific function, working together as a system.

Formulated with precision. No fillers. No unnecessary ingredients.

Not a stronger boost. A smarter one.

  • Two RYTMO flavours. Coffee-inspired and cacao.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOU DRINK RYTMO

When you drink RYTMO, you’re not relying on short bursts of stimulation.
You’re building a more stable way to sustain your energy throughout the day.

Each cup is designed to support different aspects of daily performance:

  • Steady energy, without sharp spikes or crashes

  • Mental clarity and focus

  • Digestive support

Not by pushing the body further,
 but by working with it.

HOW TO ENJOY IT?

Whenever you need focus or energy. Wherever you are.

Dissolve one spoon in hot water. Or prepare it cold.

Simple. Portable. Adaptable.

Enjoy it pure. Or personalise it with milk or a touch of sweetness.

A daily functional drink designed to fit real life.

TWO BLENDS, TWO EXPERIENCES

Two flavour profiles. One identical functional formulation.

RYTMO Original (cacao) - warm, rounded and comforting.

RYTMO Barista (coffee-inspired) - familiar taste, without the downsides of caffeine

Different in flavour. Same intention.

HOW WE BUILT IT

We didn’t rush this.

We spent months reviewing scientific literature, studying active compounds, and understanding effective dosage ranges.

But we didn’t want to rely only on theory.

So we went to origin.

Functional mushrooms have been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

We travelled to China to better understand how they are grown, processed and used in practice.

We met producers, visited cultivation sites, and worked with partners who specialise in these ingredients.

This helped us focus on quality, traceability and consistency from the beginning.

WHAT’S INSIDE RYTMO

RYTMO is built around functional mushrooms and adaptogenic plants studied for their role in energy, focus and resilience:

  • Lion’s Mane, to support focus and clarity
  • Cordyceps, to sustain physical energy
  • Maca, for daily balance
  • Ginseng, to support mental performance

Combined with other ingredients that support digestion and overall balance.

In total, thirteen ingredients form a coordinated system.

Each one has a role.
 Nothing is there by chance.

All are included at doses aligned with what has been studied.
 No filler. No unnecessary ingredients.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT WILL BE USED

RYTMO has been carefully developed, and our first production is underway.

We’re a small, independent Swiss team, and we’ve taken the time to build this properly.

No shortcuts. No compromise on quality.

The funds raised will be allocated to:

  • 40% packaging, logistics and order fulfilment
  • 20% production scaling and inventory management
  • 20% content and education around the product
  • 20% marketing and visibility

Our goal is simple: to make RYTMO a real, everyday alternative, something people can rely on and feel good about.

With your support, we can take the next step: making RYTMO visible, accessible, and part of everyday routines.

Following the campaign, we’ll begin shipping and continue developing the project step by step.

Thank you for being here from the beginning 🤎
