Functional Drinks

Three drinks that do a job, hot or cold, built around a cup you were going to have anyway.

Most of what we drink in a day is habit. The coffee you no longer taste. The afternoon pick-me-up that sets up the 4pm slump.

These three swap one of those cups for something that does a job: a matcha with Lion's Mane for the morning, a cacao brew with five mushrooms in place of the second coffee, and a caffeine-free hibiscus and ginger tea for after meals.

Where they fit in the day

  1. Start the morning Lion's Matcha Ceremonial matcha with Lion's Mane as your first drink of the day, hot or iced. Far less caffeine than coffee and none of the mid-morning drop.
  2. Instead of the second coffee Hero Mushroom Brew A cacao-based brew with five mushrooms. Drink it on its own in hot or cold water, or stir it into your coffee. Most people find they stop wanting the second cup.
  3. After meals Gut Glow Tea Hibiscus and ginger, caffeine-free. Great hot after a meal, and makes a great iced tea.

The drinks

What's in them

Lion's Mane

The mushroom in Lion's Matcha. We use fruiting bodies only — no grain, no mycelium filler.

Ginger and hibiscus

Two of the oldest after-meal botanicals there are, and the reason Gut Glow tastes like something you'd actually drink.

Less caffeine, not more

Lion's Matcha and Hero Brew both sit well under a cup of coffee for caffeine. Gut Glow has none at all.

Questions

Will this make me jittery?

It shouldn't. Lion's Matcha and Hero Brew both sit well under a cup of coffee for caffeine, and Gut Glow contains none at all.

Can I still drink coffee?

Yes. Most people find they stop wanting the second cup. You can also stir Hero Brew straight into your coffee.

Hot or cold?

Either. All three are good hot or cold. Hero Brew mixes into hot or cold water, or into your coffee, and Gut Glow makes a great iced tea.

Tested for safety

We’re careful about everything: potency, purity, microbials, heavy metals and pesticides. We utilize independent labs AND we literally test everything ourselves too, and nothing ships until it passes.

Fruiting bodies only

Dual-extracted and beta-glucan standardized, with a third ultrasonic pass on tinctures. No grain, no mycelium filler. The fruiting body is where the beta-glucans actually live — mycelium grown on grain arrives mostly as starch.
