DeFoe Family Fitness 2, LLC

As a military veteran and a first responder for more than 30 years, I lived on shift work, mandatory overtime, and a schedule that never let me plan too far ahead. At the same time, we were raising three children, so sporting events, late-night homework and church activities filled every gap. Sleep became a luxury and caffeine became my crutch. It started with several cups of coffee in the morning, then energy drinks and pre-workout to get through the day, and sometimes more at night just to keep going. Year after year, I was running on borrowed energy, and I finally realized something had to change. I didn't just want to get by. I wanted to feel clear, focused and in control. That's why we created ERA VANTA. Working alongside Simpson Labs, our family developed, tested and refined a caffeine-free, 11 ingredient nootropic designed to deliver controlled energy and sharper focus without the spikes, jitters and crashes. Today, ERA VANTA is a family-run business, with our children and future daughter-in law working beside us and it is built on a simple belief: "There is a Better Way to Think."
