Coffee is a necessary evil, and only coffee lovers know about the struggle. You can’t start your day without it, but the energy crashes and jitters make it just as frustrating. But what if there was a better version of coffee that kept you energized, focused, and free from crashes? Yes, that is exactly what nootropic coffee does.
Nootropics are natural or synthetic compounds that support brain function, improve focus, and reduce mental fatigue. Even Ashwagandha and creatine are nootropics.
Now, imagine these ingredients blended into your daily cup of coffee. Don’t worry—there’s still caffeine, and it tastes just like your regular brew or even better.
Sounds amazing, right? Well, it gets even better.
Keep reading to find out how the addition of nootropics can upgrade your coffee routine!
Understanding Nootropic Coffee
Nootropic coffee is a specially formulated beverage that is a blend of caffeine and other cognitive-enhancing compounds. These blends often include adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms, amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that support your overall cognitive function in the long run.
In contrast to your regular cup of coffee, which primarily only offers an energy boost through caffeine, nootropic coffee does much more. The addition of other ingredients turns it into a superfood coffee. It supports your brain health, helps reduce oxidative stress and improves mental clarity.
Top 6 Nootropics in GEC’s Super Brain Coffee
The Grateful Earth Coffee blends are filled with healthy ingredients and amongst them there are 6 nootropics as well. Here is everything you need to know about them:
Lion’s Mane Mushroom
Lion’s Mane is a well-known natural nootropic that helps support brain health by promoting nerve growth factor (NGF) production. This means it aids in repairing and protecting brain cells. It will help you get great mental clarity over time.
Chaga Mushroom
Chaga is packed with antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress in the brain. It supports immune function and brain health by protecting neurons from damage. It can thus potentially aid in long-term cognitive function.
L-Theanine
L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves. It is greatly known for promoting calm focus. It also enhances alpha brain wave activity, which helps with relaxation without drowsiness. This makes it perfect for boosting creativity and concentration.
Turmeric
Turmeric contains curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps reduce brain fog and support memory retention. In fact it can also improve your mood.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels. It prevents energy crashes that can affect mental performance. It also contains compounds like cinnamaldehyde and proanthocyanidins that may enhance memory and brain function by protecting neurons from damage.
Black Pepper
Black pepper contains piperine, which enhances the absorption of other nootropics, especially curcumin from turmeric. This means it helps maximize the benefits of the other ingredients and is a perfect cherry on top to make our coffee even better.
Benefits of Brain-Boosting Coffee
The benefits of this functional coffee go beyond the cup of your regular coffee, especially when it comes to supporting your brain health:
Improve Focus
Nootropic coffee blends that include L-theanine help in creating a calm state of mind by bringing balance to neurotransmitters. Additionally, medicinal mushrooms like Lion's mane may support nerve growth factor (NGF), improving cognitive function in the long run.
Reduce Stress
The presence of adaptogens like ashwagandha helps in regulating cortisol levels and reduces mental fatigue, leading to a state of calmness. Further, as mentioned earlier, L-theanine can bring balance to your brain waves. So, it will ensure you get a feeling of relaxation without the anxiety and overstimulation triggered by regular coffee.
Better Energy Levels
Regular coffee can give you a quick energy boost, but it often leads to jitters, crashes, or increased anxiety. Brain-boosting coffee, on the other hand, is designed to provide sustained energy without these unwanted side effects. As it contains adaptogens like Rhodiola Rosea and L-theanine, it will help balance caffeine’s stimulating effects. Therefore, you will get a steady flow of mental and physical energy throughout the day.
Neuroprotection
Neuroprotective compounds such as medicinal mushrooms, adaptogens, amino acids, and vitamins can support your long-term brain health. Additionally, consistent intake of cognitive coffee can bring you multiple positive benefits to fight against age-related declines and protection of your brain health.
