What is Z Game?
Z Game is a low calorie, zero sugar, gamer focus and wellness blend with natural colours and flavours, which packs an ethical punch!  We started Z Game as we were worried about the levels of caffeine, sugars and certain other ingredients in energy drinks and believed that people deserved better than they were being offered and that we could make ‘better’ possible.  Z Game was created with health and wellness in mind, as well as delivering the all-important boost and focus needed!  Z Game is packed full of vitamins, amino acids, zinc and plant extracts, all of which contribute to helping you make the most of your day with a long lasting energy boost and heightened focus!

What does Z Game offer / do for me?
As Z Game is packed full of vitamins, amino acids, zinc and plant extracts, as well as an ethical level of caffeine, it delivers a positive impact on your energy levels, focus and hydration.  Z Game gives you the boost needed to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.  Plus, as Z Game has been developed to be mixed with more water Vs other powdered energy drinks, you are actually benefitting from even further hydration, all of which means better!  Better energy + better focus + better hydration = better for you!

How much caffeine is in a single serving of Z Game?
There is 100mg of caffeine per serving, which is considerably less than our competitors.  However when combined with our other ingredients, it packs a powerful punch to ensure we achieve our mission of delivering better for you.

How much caffeine is safe to drink each day?
The NHS, European Food Standards Agency and the FDA all recommend no more than 400mg of caffeine for adults over 18 each day – and no more than 200mg in one serving.  However even though Z Game only contains 100mg of caffeine per serving, we recommend a maximum daily dose of up to 2 drinks.

How much sugar is in Z Game?
It’s our mission to deliver better for you, so that means Zero sugar!  Literally none!  Or as we like to say here in Scotland, heehaw!

What ingredients are included in Z Game?
As you may have seen already, we pack each flavour of Z Game full of vitamins, amino acids, plant extracts, zinc and natural flavourings and colours.  Each ingredient list is on the products own page, so it’s all visible at the click of a button.

Who can drink Z Game?
At Z Game we know that everyone is different, so as well as being a low calorie, Zero Sugar, great tasting drink packed full of vitamins, amino acids, zinc and plant extracts, we’ve aimed to make Z Game suitable for as many people as possible, including vegetarians and vegans.  Z Game is also gluten free and non-GMO. 

So Z Game is safe to drink?
For the vast majority of us the short answer is yes, however as caffeine is not recommended for children, kids under 16 should not consume Z Game or any type of energy drink.  Z Game is also not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.  There are no allergens in Z Game, however if you do experience any adverse reactions please stop consuming immediately and consult your GP or medical professional.

Does Z Game cost more than other energy drinks?
At under £0.88p per serving, Z Game is cheaper than the majority of alternatives on the market and certainly cheaper than traditional energy drinks.  Which means we’re not only delivering better for you but also better for your pocket too.

So, why should I switch to Z Game?

We also use less packaging than our competitors, meaning our carbon footprint is smaller.  Plus all of our packaging is 100% recyclable.  We also offset our carbon, via tree & seagrass planting, to ensure our impact on the planet is a positive one. 
And this is just day one!  At Z Game we continually review what’s available and what new discoveries have been made, so we can continually offer better – meaning the Z Game of the future could be even better than the Z Game of today – better today, better tomorrow, better forever!

Any other reasons I should consider Z Game?
As you may have seen our mission is to deliver for people and the planet.  If you’ve read this far, you already know we do this by delivering a better product which puts health & wellness first – as well as an awesome taste – use less packaging to limit our impact on the planet and some other things too!
However we also give back via our community led charitable foundation.  We sit down at the end of each year, with a portion of our profits and aim to do some really good work – the sort of effort we hope will be life changing.  And because it’s community led that means it’s up to you, our community, to tell us which people or organisations need help.  So talk to us – the more you do, the more good we can do together!

Where can I buy Z Game?
Z Game is only available online.  With no physical presence to increase costs (and carbon footprint) or retailers to ‘take their cut’ we can not only keep costs low but more importantly invest more into quality ingredients and products.  This allows us to deliver better for you and our planet!

Why have I been charged two separate amounts for shipping?
Our products are fulfilled in two separate ways.
Our tubs & shakers are sent from our main depot, whereas our merchandise is shipped directly from our print on demand supplier, Teemill.  We use a print on demand solution as this allows us to minimise our impact on the planet.  And given their ethos of protecting the planet, Teemill are the most suitable partner to use.

Why have I been charged for shipping when I have spent over £45.00?
Chances are you have spent up to £45.00 on tubs & shaker bottles but added an item from our merchandise range.  This means you haven't met the threshold needed for free shipping from our main fulfilment centre.  Plus as Teemill, our print on demand partner, ship directly, they will charge their standard rate separately.

What is Z Squad?
Z Squad is our members only club, where members receive awesome exclusive benefits, ranging from members only access to exclusive content to exclusive rewards.
Z Squad is coming soon and details are still being confirmed but, in line with everything we do, we promised to deliver better for you & our planet!
Z Squad is a dedicated area of Z Game which focuses on giving back – meaning that 100% of all Z Squad membership profits go towards funding our community led charity work.  More info will be available on our Z Squad page, which is coming soon.
