What it feels like when it works
First the tingle returns. Then your body remembers what it feels like to respond.
About fifteen minutes in, it starts: a warm, slow pull that builds and builds and doesn't stop. A tingle as your body wakes back up — the sensation you'd half-forgotten. Suddenly, being touched feels good again, and your body actually responds — warm, wet, alive to it. At the same time, the mental noise drops. The day loosens its grip, your shoulders come down, and — for once — your head is actually quiet.
No jittery edge, no floaty fog to push through — you're awake to every second of it, and you don't want to miss a moment. Twenty minutes, from one gummy to "oh my god, I forgot what this felt like." Your body answering a question you'd stopped asking.
What's inside
Five botanicals. One that works in twenty minutes, not twenty days.

L-Theanine 60mg + Green Tea caffeine 30mg
Within about fifteen minutes the mental chatter goes quiet and your shoulders drop — but you stay clear and awake, not sedated. That's why it's theanine, not ashwagandha: ashwagandha flattens you into sleepy; this gives you the quiet without the fog, so you can actually stay in the moment.
Muira Puama
Once the noise fades, this is the warm, low pull that starts to build — slow, rising on its own instead of switching on. The "potency wood" has been used for exactly this feeling for generations.
Epimedium / Horny Goat Weed
This is the tingle coming back. The active compound (icariin) encourages blood flow where you want it — so your body gets wetter, more sensitive, and actually responds to being touched again. The "my body finally answered" feeling you'd stopped expecting.
Maca
The steady lift underneath all of it — energy and staying power that hold through the whole night, with none of the stimulant crash that leaves you flat halfway through.
Ginger
A warm sweet-heat that also settles the stomach — because nothing kills a slow build faster than feeling queasy. It keeps the whole thing comfortable, start to finish.
20 calories · sweet-heat chili-lime · no ashwagandha, no citrulline filler.
How it feels
Twenty minutes to yes.
0 min
One sweet-heat gummy
That's the whole ask. No routine, no ceremony.
~20 min
The noise drops
Shoulders come down. You feel it start, low and warm.
The night
A slow build that keeps going
Wanting, present, unhurried — up to a few hours.
Why one bag is never enough
The ritual compounds.
The first night proves it. The next sixty make it yours.
Night one
The tingle comes back
This is what the first gummy does on its own — no buildup required, no habit formed yet. Twenty minutes after your first gummy the noise goes quiet, a slow warm pull starts, and the tingle you'd half-forgotten returns — your body answering a question you'd stopped asking. That alone is worth the bag.
Weeks 1–4
Your baseline shifts
Use it a few nights a week and something changes underneath. You're naturally more responsive, wetter, more present — warmer in your own skin even on the nights you don't take one. Desire stops being something you schedule.
Day 30–60
It compounds
The response is consistent now. You're not just reaching for Prelude on date night — you're catching yourself wanting him in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday. Your body remembers what it feels like to want. And once it remembers, it keeps remembering.
An eight-count weekend pack can't give you this. One bag proves it's real — two or three is how you make it permanent, and how you never run out on the night you want it most.

Who it's for
If any of these is you, Prelude was built for you.
Your head won't clock out
The to-do list runs straight through the moment. You're there, but not there. Prelude turns the volume down.
Your body won't answer
The wanting's there — the response isn't. Prelude opens the door your body forgot.
There's nothing left by 9pm
Depleted, touched-out, done. Prelude gives a lift without the wired jitters.
What women are telling us
Questions? We've got you covered
When do I take it, and how fast does it work?
Take one gummy about 20 minutes before. Most women feel the calm-alert settle in first, then a slow warmth build. It's a nudge, not a switch — give it the full 20 minutes.
My body just won't respond. Will this actually work for me?
Yes — if your head is willing but your body isn't responding, Prelude is built for this exact problem. The epimedium (icariin) and muira puama specifically target blood flow and sensation. Most women feel the tingle and physical response within 20 minutes of the first gummy. If you don't feel it the first night, you get your money back and keep the bag — 60 nights.
Will it keep me up or make me jittery?
No. There's 30mg of caffeine from green tea for a gentle lift, paired with 60mg of L-theanine — the calm-alert combo. It quiets the mental noise without the wired, racing feeling.
Is this going to make me feel numb or 'not myself'?
The opposite. Prelude is built to keep you present — no sedating, no floaty haze. Just the mental chatter turning down so your body can catch up.
What's actually in it?
A calm-alert base of L-theanine + green tea, plus a botanical blend of muira puama, epimedium (horny goat weed), maca and ginger. No ashwagandha, no citrulline filler. 20 calories, sweet-heat chili-lime.
Will it upset my stomach?
We include ginger, traditionally used to settle the stomach — part of why the sweet-heat flavor works. Take it with a little water and you should be comfortable.
How is this different from taking 8 and calling it a weekend?
Most spicy gummies give you 8. Prelude gives you 30 — a full month of nights. It's made to be a ritual, not a one-off.
How fast will it ship?
Free, discreet shipping with tracking emailed. Due to high demand, delivery runs about 7–14 days — you're early, and your founding price is locked in.
