Most of us love a cup (or cauldron!) of coffee in the morning. The caffeine in coffee is a stimulant, giving us the boost of energy we need to begin our day. It bolsters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain for improved energy, mood, and reaction times. It also blocks adenosine, the chemical your brain produces when you’re tired, so you feel more alert.

Caffeine alone, however, isn’t all good. It can cause “the jitters,” increase feelings of anxiety, increase blood pressure, and when it wears off, the adenosine build-up can make you feel exhausted – the dreaded afternoon “crash.”

Enter Brain Gain, our coffee and mushroom infusion. To offset caffeine’s dark side, we pair it with L-Theanine, a nootropic amino acid that prevents the blood pressure increase and supports a sense of ease, offsetting the anxiety. So you get all the good brain-boosting aspects of caffeine, and none of the downsides.*

What we really want from coffee often boils down to focus and productivity. So to amp up your cognition – and bring more goodness to your day! – we’ve added Lion’s Mane mushroom, which supports brain vitality, focus, and memory. Rounding it all out is Rhodiola, a powerful adaptogen that supports energy, healthy stress levels, and promotes cognitive function.*
