Ava founders Anders Aanesen and Mads Aanesen

Built to enhance
your true potential.

We built the product we couldn’t find.

We are Anders and Mads Aanesen. In 2024, in Iceland, we started Ava around a feeling we both knew too well: reaching for quick energy to get through a demanding day, then paying for it later with jitters, distraction or a crash.

We wanted energy to feel steady and useful—not borrowed from later. So we set out to make something we would genuinely choose every morning. Mads brought his perspective as a medical doctor, and together we kept asking the same questions: why this ingredient, why this dose, and can we trust where it comes from?

Focused Energy took nearly two years to develop. We refused to rush it. Every version brought us closer to a formula we were proud to put our names on.

The work behind Focused Energy.

Nearly two years of research, formulation, tasting, refinement and testing went into our first product. The work was quiet, deliberate and repeated until every part felt right.

Anders & Mads.

Anders Aanesen

For Anders, Ava began with a simple frustration: the products meant to help people do more often made the rest of the day harder. His focus is keeping Ava useful, honest and relevant to real life—the early start, the long meeting, the training session and the time you still want to have for the people around you.

Dr. Mads Aanesen

For Mads, a medical doctor, the question was never how many ingredients could fit in one stick. It was whether each one earned its place. His perspective shaped the discipline behind Focused Energy: meaningful doses, trusted sources and a formula that can be explained clearly rather than hidden behind hype.

Our standard.

Source without compromise

Icelandic astaxanthin

We use natural astaxanthin from Algalíf, produced in Iceland and chosen for its quality, traceability and local production.

Every active is fully disclosed and selected for the research behind it, the dose it requires and the role it plays in Focused Energy.
