Is Coffee Nootropic?
Coffee is an age-old source of mental energy. But what if we could add nootropics to boost its effects and add even greater productivity, less stress, and decreased brain fog? Nootropics are supplements which increase cognitive function such as memory retention, focus, and problem solving abilities – and when combined with coffee they could help make for even greater productivity, reduced stress levels and lessened brain fog!
Brands offering mushroom coffee blends combine ground coffee beans with functional mushrooms known for their nootropic effects, such as Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga and Reishi mushrooms. Other ingredients may also be added to enhance flavor and health benefits – Mastermind’s organic Hyperfocus Coffee includes Yerba Mate which has been shown to increase alertness without producing the caffeine crash experienced with some other products.
Mushroom coffee may contain nutrients to facilitate the absorption of nootropics. For instance, DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) is an essential choline molecule which reduces age pigmentation build-up in the brain. Chaga is another popular mushroom coffee ingredient which acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals for immune support.
Four Sigmatic Focus was at the forefront of creating innovative coffee blends designed to promote productivity and mental clarity, with ingredients chosen specifically to do just that. Other brands such as Ryze, MUDWTR, Atlas+ Superblend and Everyday Dose provide more holistic blends that incorporate nootropics with holistic wellness and stress reduction strategies.
