Our d9-Caffeine technology seamlessly replaces caffeine in any formula with unique added benefits.
Our d9-Caffeine (deuterated caffeine) goes beyond traditional formulas, delivering unmatched performance and efficacy in both ingestible and topical applications.

A next-generation caffeine innovation designed for longer-lasting, crash-free energy with steady delivery, helping reduce tolerance buildup and overconsumption.

A scientifically advanced topical caffeine that delivers prolonged skin benefits, reducing puffiness, fine lines, and environmental damage.

GRAS Status Approval

At d9 Designs, we leveraged deuterium to develop patented caffeine ingredients that deliver smoother, longer-lasting performance across ingestible and topical applications.


• Deuterium (D) is a natural, stable form of hydrogen with a small but powerful difference—it has an extra neutron.
• This extra neutron makes deuterium bonds stronger than regular hydrogen bonds, which can influence how molecules behave.
• Deuteration is a process that enhances a molecule’s stability, allowing for more precise control over its effects in the body while keeping its key benefits intact.
• This technique has been successfully used in numerous FDA-approved pharmaceutical products to improve efficacy, prolong duration, and minimize unwanted by-products.
• We have used this cutting-edge deuteration technology to create Deura9™ (d9-Caffeine) by substituting 9 out of 10 hydrogen atoms with deuterium.
• This modification enhances caffeine’s stability and metabolism while retaining its key functional benefits.
• It is called d9-Caffeine because 9 of the 10 hydrogen atoms have been substituted with deuterium.
• While d9-Caffeine is created through a synthetic process rather than natural extraction, the result is chemically identical to caffeine found in nature, with nine hydrogen atoms replaced by deuterium, a naturally occurring form of hydrogen.
• Caffeine in most beverages and supplements is also synthetically produced. d9-Caffeine, however, simply takes it to the next level, delivering exceptional purity, fewer metabolites, and smoother more predictable effects.
• The “d9” in d9-Caffeine refers to deuteration, the replacement of nine hydrogen atoms on the caffeine molecule with deuterium, a stable, naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen. It has no connection to Delta-9 THC.
• The name comes from its scientific structure, not the hemp industry, and over time “d9” will be recognized for performance and focus, not cannabis.

d9-Caffeine has been extensively studied, including a head-to-head double blind clinical study, compared to conventional caffeine.
