Purica Zensations Vibrant Rising - Chaga Mushroom Cacao Drink Mix (150 g)

Purica Zensations Vibrant Rising is an organic chaga mushroom and cacao drink mix in a 150 g canister, enough for 30 servings. Each 5 g teaspoon provides 1,600 mg of organic, full-spectrum, micronized chaga mushroom. Source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.

What it is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80128937, printed on the front of the canister.

What is in each serving

The chaga (Inonotus obliquus) comes from the fruiting body, the dark, woody growth found on birch trees in cold northern forests. Purica uses it as a full-spectrum powder that has been micronized, meaning ground very finely so it mixes into liquid instead of settling. Each 5 g serving holds 1.6 g of it, close to a third of the scoop.

Organic cacao powder gives the mix its chocolate flavour, and organic coconut palm sugar with monk fruit extract sweetens it. Those four ingredients are the whole list. There are no gums, fillers or artificial flavours.

Chaga on its own tastes earthy and slightly bitter, a bit like strong black tea. The cacao and the two sweeteners round that out, so the result drinks more like a light hot chocolate than a mushroom tea.

The Zensations range

Vibrant Rising is part of Purica's Zensations line of mushroom drink mixes. The line also includes Clear Mind, Mindful Balance, Universal Harmony and Chilled Vibe, each with its own flavour, so it is easy to keep more than one canister in the cupboard and switch between them.

How to make it

Stir 1 teaspoon (5 g) into 50 mL of hot water and drink it like a shot of espresso, or blend it into a smoothie, coffee or another hot drink. Take it once a day. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to a health care practitioner before use.

Who it suits

Coffee and hot chocolate drinkers who want to add chaga to a drink they already make, and people who find plain chaga powder too bitter. The cacao contains a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine, so keep that in mind if you drink it late in the day.
