nutritional information

Adaptogenic Mushroom Blend 

Our energy gummies contain a blend of the adaptogenic functional mushrooms, cordyceps and lions mane. These nootropic mushrooms hold the power to reaching ones full potential. All our mushrooms are 100% natural and organic, always from the fruiting body, insuring potency and quality.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps militaris

One of the most unusual mushrooms in the wide, revered in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern science has delved into the amazing benefits of this special mushroom (11). Noted in the 90’s by Chinese athletes smashing records (12), the cordyceps mushroom is renowned for its abilities to provide increased performance and energy (13). It does this by enhancing the oxygen utilization around the body (14). Studies show that this increases energy levels and reduces fatigue (15)(16)(17). 

Lion's Mane

Hericium erinaceus

Probably one of the most well know functional mushrooms, this funky guy has been used in traditional east Asian medication for centuries (1). Its only in the last 20 years or so that here in the west we have started to take notice of its benefits. This powerful mushroom is well known to improve cognitive function (2)(9) and enhance mood (3). Lions main has shown to significantly improve nerve growth(10), this leads to be brain health, memory and focus (4) (5) (6). In addition, it has been shown to have promising abilities to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression (7)(8). 

Vitamins

In addition to all the naturally occurring vitamins found in our mushroom blend, we have added couple additions. We have gone with Vitamin D3 and B12 for the well know abilities to provide long lasting energy. 

Vitamin B12

Methylcobalamin

Vitamin B12 is largely responsible for energy regulation. It is vital for red blood cell production and a key player in the development of the brain and central nervous system (23) (24). Many adults are deficient in vitamin B12, leading to fatigue and depression (25)(26)(29). Vitamin B12 sets the stage to optimise the brain by improving alertness, energy levels, concentration and memory (27)(28)(30). 

Vitamin D3

Cholecalciferol

Every wonder why you feel happier when the suns out? This is because of vitamin D3 (22). Vitamin is a staple to boost energy levels (18) from the cell level, reducing the effects of fatigue and improving muscle and bone health (19). D3 is well documented to maintains energy levels and regulates mood(20)(21).

Supplements

Finally we have added some supplements to enhance the hit.

Caffeine

To give an instant hit of energy we use natural caffeine. When digested from a gummy absorption starts in the mouth. This means that you will get a kick with in 10 minutes of consuming an Energy Hit(39). One of our gummies contains 80mg of caffeine, this is equivalent to one small can of red bull energy drink(40). Caffeine has been show to improve cognitive function and physical performance(41).

L-theanine

The best friend of Caffeine. This is an amino acid that is commonly found in tea and some mushrooms(53). L-theanine has been shown to improve several aspects of the brains functions by reliving stress, improving mood and helping with sleep(42) (43) (44) (45), it does this by  boosting GABA, dopamine and serotonin with in the brain (46) (47). These powers really shine when combined with caffeine, since it counteracts the negative effects of caffeine(48) (49) (50), meaning you can remained energised with out the jitters or anxiety(51) (52). 

Magnesium malate

There are several types of magnesium (31), however magnesium malate (32)  is regarded as one of the most powerful as well as being the best absorbed by humans(33). While best know for its ability to tackle chronic pain and headaches (34), its also amazing for energy (35). Being used since the 1920s to treat depression (36)it is also an active mood booster linked with boosting mental health (37) (38).
