Focus & Energy
Improved Circulation
Procyanidins and theobromine can stimulate the central nervous system and dilate blood vessels which can increase blood flow and circulation, while simultaneously lowering blood pressure.
Anti-Inflammatory

Catechin and Epicatechin reduce inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes such as cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, which can lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Immune-Boosting
Polysaccharides have been shown to stimulate the production and activity of various immune cells, including macrophages, T cells, and natural killer cells. This stimulation is believed to enhance the immune response against pathogens.
Lower Cholesterol
Procyanidins can enhance the expression of LDL (bad cholesterol) receptors in the liver, which promotes the clearance of LDL from the bloodstream and supports the uptake of HDL (good cholesterol).

Guarana is a seed native to Brazil which contains highly concentrated natural caffeine. Unlike coffee, the caffeine contained within Guarana is metabolized over a longer period of time, providing a more even, longer-lasting energy release without the jitters associated with coffee, which is especially beneficial for maintaining focus and productivity throughout the day.
The caffeine in Guarana is uniquely bound to tannins and other natural compounds which slow down the extraction of caffeine within the digestive tract.
In comparison to an immediate release from a processed source of free caffeine such as pour-over coffee or espresso, the chemical composition of Guarana results in a delayed release of caffeine, allowing for a gradual absorption into the bloodstream and sustained elevation of caffeine levels in the blood.
The sustained release of caffeine has implications for adenosine receptors in the brain. Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleepiness by binding to its receptors in the brain. Caffeine, being structurally similar to adenosine, competes with adenosine for binding to its receptors. By blocking adenosine's action, caffeine promotes alertness and wakefulness. The gradual and sustained release of caffeine from Guarana can lead to a more prolonged blockade of adenosine receptors, contributing to its longer-lasting effects on energy and alertness.
Lion's Mane is a functional mushroom known for its ability to promoteLion's Mane is a functional mushroom that contains bioactive compounds known as hericenones and erinacines, which have been identified as the key compounds responsible for its neurotrophic effects. These compounds have demonstrated the ability to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in various in vitro and in vivo studies.
NGF is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development, maintenance, and survival of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and peripheral nervous system. It is involved in promoting the growth and differentiation of new neurons, as well as supporting the health and function of existing neurons. NGF also plays a role in synaptic plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory processes.
Studies have shown that supplementation with Lion's Mane extract or its bioactive compounds can lead to increased NGF levels in the brain. Neurite outgrowth is a key process in neuronal development and repair, and its stimulation is indicative of neuroprotective and regenerative effects.
By promoting NGF production, Lion's Mane supports brain health and can improve cognitive function with prolonged use.nerve growth factor (NGF) production, supporting the function of nerve cells and benefiting cognitive function and mental acuity.
Cordyceps is a functional mushroom that contains a bioactive compound known as cordycepin, which has garnered attention for its ability to enhance cellular energy production. Cordycepin is structurally similar to adenosine, a nucleoside crucial for various cellular processes, particularly in energy metabolism.
Inside cells, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the primary energy carrier, facilitating energy transfer in metabolic reactions. Cordycepin's molecular resemblance to adenosine allows it to interact with adenosine receptors, influencing cellular responses. However, cordycepin's impact extends beyond receptor interactions.
Studies suggest that cordycepin can enhance ATP production by stimulating the activity of enzymes involved in ATP synthesis, such as adenosine kinase and adenylate kinase. By increasing the efficiency of these enzymes, cordycepin promotes ATP generation, thereby boosting cellular energy levels. This effect is particularly beneficial for cells with high energy demands, such as muscle cells during exercise or cells involved in immune response.
Cordycepin can also influence energy metabolism by upregulating the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial function, which is essential for ATP production. Finally, cordycepin has been shown to improve oxygen utilization in cells, further enhancing ATP synthesis efficiency.
Cordyceps' ability to mimic adenosine and enhance ATP production makes it a powerful natural compound for improving cellular energy metabolism, endurance and immunity.
Reishi is a functional mushroom renowned for its bioactive compounds, particularly polysaccharides and triterpenes, which are key to its adaptogenic and immune-modulating properties. The polysaccharides in Reishi have been shown to stimulate the production and activity of various immune cells, including macrophages, T cells, and natural killer cells. This stimulation is believed to enhance the immune response against pathogens and abnormal cells, thus boosting overall immune function.
Additionally, Reishi's triterpenes, such as ganoderic acids, play a crucial role in its anti-inflammatory and liver-protective effects. Triterpenes are known to inhibit inflammatory pathways, such as the NF-kB pathway, thereby reducing the production of inflammatory molecules like cytokines. This anti-inflammatory activity can help mitigate chronic inflammation associated with various diseases. Moreover, triterpenes have been shown to support liver health by promoting liver regeneration and enhancing liver detoxification processes.
The synergistic effects of polysaccharides and triterpenes in Reishi highlight its importance as a natural immunomodulatory and adaptogenic agent. It’s ability to stimulate immune cell production, coupled with its anti-inflammatory and liver-protective properties make Reishi a powerful tool for combating inflamatory and pathogenic-driven fatigue.
Chaga is a functional mushroom esteemed for its antioxidant-rich composition, particularly its triterpenes, polysaccharides, and betulinic acid, which collectively contribute to its therapeutic characteristics. The triterpenes and polysaccharides in Chaga act as antioxidants, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage. This activity is crucial for maintaining cellular health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress.
Moreover, Chaga's betulinic acid content is associated with anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. Betulinic acid has been shown to inhibit pro-inflammatory pathways, such as NF-kB, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators and helping alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions.
Beyond its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Chaga has also been studied for its ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Research suggests that Chaga may improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, which are beneficial for managing blood sugar levels. This effect can be attributed to Chaga's polysaccharide content, which may enhance glucose uptake and utilization by cells.
The combination of anti-inflamatory, immunity boosting and blood sugar modulating compounds found within Chaga make it a an excellent regulator for overall health when taken regularly.
