What are Adaptogens? Adaptogens are natural substances usually herbs, roots and some mushrooms. The idea of coffee that could help me stay mentally sharp is really interesting.
No Stranger Coffee sells adaptogenic coffee, which is regular coffee infused with medicinal mushrooms and other health-supportive ingredients.
Their main product is called Heroic, a blend of organic dark roast coffee from Peru with Lion’s Mane and Reishi mushrooms.
- Organic Lion’s Mane (19.15% Beta Glucans)500mg
- Organic Reishi (19.33% Beta Glucans)500mg
Lion’s mane is a mushroom. It’s known for its shaggy mane-like appearance and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
Reishi Mushroom A fungus used in traditional Asian medicine for centuries, believed to have various health benefits.
I’m starting a trial of adaptogenic coffee! from No Stranger Coffee. I’ll be sure to document my experience for a month and let you know if I notice any improvements in clarity.
