About Temper
Temper makes physical and digital products to improve your metabolic fitness (a market with $600B in health and wellness spending in the US). You can think of Temper as Nike for your mitochondria. Our flagship product, Citravarin, is a first of its kind cannabinoid adaptogen to help people start and stick to intermittent fasting.
About the Temper Team
Temper was founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs on a relentless mission to fix one of the world's biggest problems: metabolic dysfunction. Nearly 80% of the US population is metabolically unfit with conditions ranging from diabetes to obesity and cardiovascular disease.
For the last 15 years our team has studied at the intersection of minds and machines. From our PhDs in neuroscience, humanoid robotics and chemical engineering to our work in artificial intelligence, bio-therapeutics, and even professional sports we have always worked to improve the human condition with one goal in mind, to give humans the tools they need to be the person they have always aspired to be.
