Boost Your Morning Routine With This Stress-Busting Coffee Upgrade

I’m one of coffee’s biggest fans, but one thing it is not typically good for is helping people feel less stressed. 

In fact, for all its focus-boosting, stimulating goodness; caffeine also raises your cortisol (stress hormone) levels too. 

So my beloved, tasty, life-giving coffee comes with a cost. 

But for my fellow coffee-lovers out there, London Nootropics has come up with a range of adaptogenic coffee blends that are designed to offer all the pros of caffeine without the cons: namely jitters, anxiety, and the subsequent energy crash.

Made with Hifas da Terra mushroom extracts along with plenty of other adaptogens, there’s a range of blends to choose from so you can set yourself up for the day in exactly the way you want. 

There’s the Zen blend for calming energy, Flow for clarity and mental focus, and Mojo for a natural boost. 

And don’t worry – they still have that regular coffee taste we’ve come to know and love.

London Nootropics blends are a particularly good shout for those who have a sensitivity to caffeine, since they offer the best of both worlds.

The caffeine is still very much there to boost your focus and get rid of any early morning drowsiness.

Meanwhile, the adaptogens are there to help balance your cortisol levels and help keep that dreaded caffeine crash at bay. 

The coffee has an average rating of 4.9/5 based on over 10,000 reviews. One reviewer said: “My nutritionist recommended it to me to help cut through the perimenopausal brain fog. Guess what - it does!”

Another said: “After [a] few days my energy is back! I can’t believe how much sharper I am now. I also love the flavour. It’s like a instant coffee flavour, not barista, but it’s delicious.”

What are adaptogens? 

Adaptogens are herbs and mushrooms that are used in herbal medicine as a way to reduce the impact stress has on the body. 

For hundreds of years, people in Asia and India are thought to have used adaptogens to treat a range of conditions. 

Commonly used adaptogens include ashwagandha, ginseng, and rhodiola rosea.

London Nootropics uses plants and fungi including chaga mushroom, Siberian ginseng, and cordyceps.

But before you do decide to try them, check in with your GP because adaptogens might interact with certain medications.
