The premium instant coffee that is used in all of the Four Sigmatic coffee-based products is 100 percent Arabica variety, grown in the volcanic soil of Southeast Asia. It is grown in the shade at high altitudes, without the use of pesticides. After roasting and brewing the beans, they concentrate the coffee by evaporation and finish it off by spray-drying it into a pure instant powder. Coffee gives us that instant energy boost because it stimulates the central nervous system and adrenal glands. Combining this with the more balanced cellular energy boost of cordyceps (which, as an adaptogen, help your body produce its own long-lasting energy) the effects are doubled while using only half of the caffeine normally found in coffee! As an added bonus, cordyceps also support the adrenal glands and offer the perfect nutrition for people whose energy levels have been depleted over a long period of time. Coffee can often cause stomach burn due to its high acidity. By adding highly alkaline-forming chaga mushroom extract to coffee, the acidity problem is eliminated and results in a much smoother taste. The powerful antioxidants, anti-viral effects, and immune-boosting properties of chaga mushrooms make your regular cup of Joe more than just a wake-up call. The best part is that you get all of this added power without sacrificing that great coffee taste. In fact, the flavor profiles and mouth-feel of regular coffee and chaga mushroom coffee are so close that chaga mushrooms were used as a coffee replacement during World War II in Finland!

Recognized for their brain-boosting properties, lion's mane mushrooms have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years. Recently, science has focused on this mushroom's exceptional regenerative effects on our nervous system. The natural cognitive boosting effects of lion’s mane work hand-in-hand with the stimulating effects of coffee to create the perfect state of mind and keep you there. The lion’s mane mushroom extract in this coffee mix is made by dual-extracting these wood-grown fruiting bodies, and then spray-drying it without any fillers or carriers. The final extract powder is standardized to 30 percent polysaccharide (more than 15 percent beta-glucan) content. Rhodiola root is one of the most potent adaptogens, well-known for its effects on the nervous system, stress levels, and brain function, which is why it complements this coffee mix so well. It can help improve concentration, memory, and alertness. Our rhodiola roots are collected wild from the mountains of Tibet and extracted in water and alcohol to increase absorption. For those that prefer to stay away from caffeine, don't worry, there's still a cup or 6 of delicious mushroom mixes for you! Get fired up with Cordyceps Mushroom Elixir Mix
The main ingredient in the Cordyceps Elixir is, of course, pure cordyceps mushroom. Now we have already touched on the energy promoting powder of the mighty adaptogenic cordyceps but to get the most out of this mushroom, it has been dual-extracted. This means that all of the active water- and fat-soluble components have been made bioavailable with boiling water and alcohol, respectively. After removing the alcohol and concentrating the extract, we spray-dry it back to powder. Four Sigmatic uses the cultivated fruiting bodies of cordyceps militaris, which have been shown in several studies to contain strong pro-sexual, steroidogenic and anti-fatigue compounds. Don't worry, there are no caterpillars in their production methods, and the product is suitable for vegans! Each packet includes 1,500 mg of the most potent Cordyceps militaris extract with at least 30 percent polysaccharides (including more than 15 percent beta-glucans) and 0.5 percent adenosine. No starch, sugars, or any fillers … at all. Other ingredients:
- 200 mg of harmonizing and naturally sweet licorice root extract
- Delicious, soothing peppermint leaf
- 15 mg of natural Vitamin C from the rose hip extract (25 percent RDI), which makes it easier for your body to take in the mushrooms.
- a pinch of high-quality concentrated stevia leaf extract for calorie-free sweetness.
Perhaps you’ve noticed a black-gold mass growing on birch trees before? That is a chaga mushroom, and it has been the most sought after mushroom in northern cultures for ages. We already mentioned Chaga mushrooms are one of nature’s greatest sources of antioxidants and boost the immune system. The best anti-inflammatory support you’ll ever find growing naturally in the wild, the chaga mushroom also might reduce joint and arthritis pain and offer anti-aging support for skin and hair. Also known as Siberian ginseng, Eleuthero works synergistically with chaga to enhance immunity and support vitality.

- Delicious, soothing peppermint leaf
- 15 mg of natural Vitamin C from the rose hip extract (25 percent RDI), which makes it easier for your body to take in the mushrooms.
Lion’s Mane, as we have learned, is an all-natural brain booster, a cognitive enhancer without side effects. It has been shown to improve memory, boost creativity, and help bolster concentration.

The active ingredients in lion’s Mane, hericenones and erinacines, are shown to stimulate NGF production in the body. The benefits of lion’s Mane extends to the entire nervous system. Studies have shown that lion’s Mane can be of great help to people suffering from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological damage, and for improving reflexes. The addition of the well-known, healing Star anise herb blends extremely well with the other ingredients in this mix. Not only that, but it also has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. Other ingredients:
- Delicious, soothing peppermint leaf
- a pinch of high-quality concentrated stevia leaf extract for calorie-free sweetness.

Besides being delicious and accessible, cacao is an effective mood enhancer, antioxidant source and perfect delivery system for herbs and mushrooms because it opens up the capillaries. Cordyceps mushroom plays the main role in this hot cocoa, and is a vital part of high and balanced all-day energy levels. Next up is cacao, the ultimate comfort food. The legendary Amazonian adaptogen, guarana, amplifies the effects of the other herbs included in this drink (each packet includes 20 mg of natural caffeine derived from guarana). Coconut palm sugar is a mineral-rich alternative to refined sugars, and it has an exceptionally low glycemic index (GI). It is made by boiling down the sap of the coconut palm, the maple syrup of the tropics. One serving contains only 2.5 grams of coconut palm sugar - just enough to create a nice texture and a hint of sweetness. To put this in perspective, this amount compares to about one-tenth of the sugar in one banana! Chilli is a strong thermogen, which means it raises the body temperature and increases metabolism.
