1st Phorm Brings Back Red Velvet Everything + Texas Lightning Energy DRink
Red Velvet Level-1, Red Velvet Collagen & Phorm Energy “Texas Lightning” — limited return
1st Phorm brought back three seasonal products for Valentine’s — not just a flavor release, but three different categories: protein, collagen support, and a performance energy drink.
Here’s what each one actually is so you know whether it belongs in your routine or not.
Red Velvet Level-1 Protein
130 calories | 23g protein | whey concentrate
Level-1 is a whey concentrate-based protein — meaning it keeps some milk fats and bioactive peptides instead of stripping everything out like an isolate.
That matters because:
better taste & texture
more filling
easier daily compliance
You sacrifice a little macro purity, but gain consistency (which matters more for most people). I’ve had this in years past and can confirm this flavor profile is one of their best.
Red Velvet Collagen
15g collagen protein | multi-source collagen matrix + Dermaval®
This is not a muscle protein.
Collagen does not stimulate muscle growth — it supports connective tissue.
Sources include multiple collagen types (I, II, III, V, X) from:
bovine
fish
bone broth
egg shell membrane
That makes sense for joints, tendons and skin support — especially for active people.
It’s a proprietary collagen matrix — meaning we don’t know how much of each collagen type you’re getting; which is my only gripe with this.
They’ve also included - Dermaval® . Plant polyphenols aim to reduce collagen breakdown signaling rather than build new tissue — a more realistic support mechanism for recovery.
Phorm Energy — Texas Lightning
200mg caffeine + nootropic focus blend
This sits between an energy drink but closer to a focus/performance beverage.
200mg caffeine (green tea)
1g N-Acetyl-Tyrosine
400mg choline
100mg NeuroFactor® coffee fruit extract
That combination targets alertness and task engagement more than stimulation intensity.
Small electrolyte inclusion helps smooth the feel compared to caffeine alone.
This flavor is their Silver Lightening with a limited edition can - nothing new. Expect something similar to a Fresca, Squirt Soda or White Monster flavor profile.
Bottom Line
These aren’t interchangeable supplements — each fills a different role:
• Level-1 → daily protein nutrition
• Collagen → connective tissue support
• Texas Lightning → alertness & performance focus
Limited Valentine’s return — buy based on function, not just flavor (BUT they knocked these flavors out of the part).
