Coffee has long been a part of American daily lives, with around 62% of Americans drinking it daily. Coffee offers many health benefits; perhaps most notable among them being its instantaneous energy boost and mental clarity-inducing properties. Thus, many are intrigued by nootropic coffee: an innovative drink which combines regular caffeine with cognitive enhancers for an holistic approach to brain function.

Nootropic is an umbrella term referring to various substances that help improve mental function in various ways, from increasing memory and concentration, boosting mood and decreasing risk for neurological issues over time. When combined with caffeine, nootropics can have an energizing effect that makes you think faster and clearer; but unlike caffeine’s immediate alertness nootropics may not cause jitteriness or insomnia in users.

Nootropic coffees provide more sustained energy through lower caffeine content and functional ingredients, making them ideal for those with caffeine intolerance who still want the mental boost that coffee provides. Many nootropic brands also leverage mushroom extracts like Lion’s Mane and Ashwagandha that have been shown to increase focus, regulate blood sugar, and decrease anxiety levels – an added bonus of drinking nootropics!
