The twist-to-mix cap, explained.

The powder lives in the cap. The liquid lives in the bottle. They meet the second you twist, not months before at a factory.

The short answer

A twist-to-mix cap, also called an instant mixing cap, is a bottle cap with a sealed chamber that keeps a dry powder apart from the liquid. Twist the cap and the seal breaks, so the powder drops into the drink. Shake for three seconds and it's mixed, fresh, about ten seconds start to finish.

How it works

Two chambers. One twist.

Inside the cap is a small chamber filled with dry powder, closed off by a seal. The bottle below holds the liquid. Twist the cap clockwise and the seal inside opens, so the powder falls straight down into the drink. The bottle stays closed the whole time.

  1. Twist the cap

    Turn it clockwise. The powder drops. The bottle stays sealed.

  2. Shake for three seconds

    Watch the color change as it mixes. On the Longevity Shot, clear turns champagne.

  3. Open and sip

    Drink it straight away, while it's at its freshest.

Why it exists

Fresh beats premixed.

Most functional drinks mix everything at the factory, then sit on a shelf for months. Some ingredients are happier dry. Several vitamins, for example, break down faster once they're dissolved in water. A twist-to-mix cap keeps them dry until the moment you drink.

Twist-to-mix, made for a ritual.

Our patented twist-to-mix cap holds the actives in a gold chamber over a hydrogen water base. Twist it and the powder falls in, the liquid turns champagne, and the dispersion is even from first sip to last, thanks to our MCD (Micro Controllable Dispersion) process.

FAQ

Twist-to-mix cap questions.

What is a twist-to-mix cap?

A twist-to-mix cap is a bottle cap with a sealed chamber that holds a dry powder apart from the liquid. Twist the cap and the seal breaks, so the powder drops into the drink. You mix it at the moment you drink it, not months earlier at a factory.

What is an instant mixing cap?

Instant mixing cap is another name for a twist-to-mix cap. Other names include dispensing cap, storage cap, powder cap, supplement cap and booster cap. They all keep an ingredient sealed in the cap until you release it into the drink.

Why mix fresh instead of buying premixed?

Some ingredients are more stable dry than dissolved. Several vitamins, for example, break down faster once they sit in water. Keeping the powder dry in the cap until you twist means it meets the liquid fresh.

Does twisting the cap open the bottle?

No. On Boundless shots, twisting clockwise releases the powder while the bottle stays sealed. You shake, then open the cap to drink.

How long does it take to mix?

About ten seconds start to finish: twist, shake for three seconds, sip.

Which Boundless drinks use the twist-to-mix cap?

The Longevity Shot (golden apple, 25 mL), the Sleep Shot (lavender, 25 mL) and four functional coconut waters (350 mL): Energy Recovery, Sleep Remedy, Weight Management, and Longevity and Beauty.

What's in the cap of the Longevity Shot?

Ergothioneine, astaxanthin, PQQ, sialic acid, ceramides and six essential vitamins. The bottle holds hydrogen water, allulose, golden apple flavor and real gold flakes.
