MAN-1 Official Bottle

MAN-1 was co-created by Mike Bates and Jason Rickaby.

Jason is the founder and former CEO of PhD Nutrition — one of the most successful and respected supplement brands ever built in the U.K. Starting PhD in 2005, Jason helped grow the company from a small challenger brand into a globally recognised name in performance nutrition before exiting following its acquisition by Science in Sport (SiS).

Mike is a former Royal Marines Commando, covert operations leader, fundraiser, Men's Health community leader, solo Atlantic rower and founder of one of the UK’s largest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academies.

After more than two decades inside the health, performance and supplementation world, we saw a growing problem. Men getting older. More tired. More stressed. Trying to stay healthy whilst juggling family, business, responsibility and modern life — often relying on handfuls of pills, stimulants and quick fixes that never addressed the foundations properly.

Together with MAN-1 we've created a foundational daily health drink for men who want to show up strong for themselves and the people who rely on them.

No hype.
No nonsense.
Just high-quality ingredients, properly dosed, built by men who actually live this life themselves.

Yes. While MAN-1 was formulated specifically around the nutritional needs and challenges commonly faced by men, many of the ingredients support foundational health, energy, recovery and wellbeing for women too. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please seek medical advice before use.

Absolutely! MAN-1 has been formulated using well-researched ingredients at effective daily doses and is manufactured to high quality and safety standards. As with any supplement, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have an existing medical condition, we recommend consulting your healthcare professional before use.

Many people report improvements in strength, energy, hydration, sleep and focus within the first few weeks of consistent use. Some ingredients work cumulatively over time, meaning the biggest benefits often come from daily long-term use.

No. We created MAN-1 as an alternative to the drinks which claim to be an 'all in one' and contain unsubstantiated blends of up to 100 ingredients. MAN-1 is designed to support and strengthen a healthy lifestyle, not replace it. Proper nutrition, movement, sleep and recovery will always remain foundational.

In most cases, yes. However, if you are already taking supplements containing similar vitamins, minerals or active ingredients, we recommend checking total intake levels or seeking professional advice.

No. MAN-1 is not a stimulant-based product and does not rely on large doses of caffeine or artificial energy boosters. Our focus is sustainable daily support rather than short-term spikes and crashes.

Mix one serving with cold water and consume once daily, ideally first thing in the morning. MAN-1 is designed to become part of your daily routine — one simple action to help you show up strong. We recommend mixing one serving with approximately 400ml of cold water but if you prefer a longer drink feel free to use more. Take your MAN-1 your way!

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always reseal properly using our superior velcro seal after use and keep out of reach of children.

Yes. MAN-1 has been created and is proudly manufactured in the United Kingdom in facilities operating to strict quality and safety standards.

Yes. Quality, safety and transparency really matter to us. Every ingredient included in MAN-1 has been selected for a reason and proudly manufactured in the United Kingdom to the highest standards.
