5 fabulous ingredients in a cup full of well-being

1) Cocoa powder

South American Indians called cacao "food of the gods". Traditionally, they used it as a ceremonial drink to "open" participants in rituals and better connect them to the energy of their own center. It induces a pleasant state of relaxation and alertness at the same time.

Thanks to its antioxidant flavonoid content, it also has other beneficial effects on the human body.

This cocoa was produced by organic farming at high altitudes in the Dominican Republic. Thanks to the premium quality of the fruit and its gentle processing, it retains its delicate flavour.

2) Coconut sugar (2 g)

Organic sugar from the coconut palm is an excellent alternative to refined sugar. In contrast, it has a lower glycaemic index and naturally contains minerals.

This drink contains a negligible amount of sugar - just enough to enhance the flavour, but not be a hindrance to a low-carbohydrate diet, for example. To give you an idea: the amount of sugar is roughly equivalent to a tenth of a banana.

3) Reishi/glitterweed (500 mg)

This wood-destroying, disease-causing fungus from Asia grows on damaged - living and dead - deciduous trees or decorates stumps with its shiny fan-shaped hat. It is well known in Western and traditional Chinese medicine, which has used it successfully for more than 4,000 years.

It is known as the 'divine mushroom of immortality' for its many beneficial effects. It has a beneficial effect on the immune system, contributes to the normal function of the circulatory system and to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.

This medicinal mushroom is a great choice for harmonizing the psyche. It will come in handy for those who want to promote the quality of sleep.

4) Cinnamon

This spice is popular for its distinctive taste. Cinnamon is traditionally used for good digestion. It is also a natural source of antioxidants.

5) Cardamom

Cardamom has been used for hundreds of years by Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine as one of the basic ingredients used. It is a natural source of antioxidants, aids digestion and has even been traditionally administered to improve mood.

6) Stevia

A pinch of concentrated stevia leaf extract for a slightly sweet taste without the calories complements the flavor of this drink well. This stevia is high quality, without the usual metallic taste.

The individual ingredients are wonderfully complementary in their effects and play together for a great taste.

Why prefer a double extract of medicinal mushrooms?

For the human body, much of the mushroom tissue is indigestible. Therefore, when we swallow the powder from a ground dried mushroom, we cannot absorb nearly all the valuable active substances from its cells.

The extract, on the other hand, contains all the beneficial substances in an easily digestible form. And to really get all the substances from the natural mushroom, you will even find a double extract in this instant drink. That is, not only the water-soluble substances, but also all the other substances that we have obtained by extraction with alcohol (which, of course, is not contained in the final product at all).

The double extract therefore ensures a higher concentration and better bioavailability of the active substances for the organism. And this is the basis of our functional mushroom products.

Why do we love Four Sigmatic?

Four Sigmatic - originally from Finland, now based in the USA - is the project of a bunch of smart guys who call themselves the Scandinavian funny guys. They combined their lifelong passion for processing medicinal mushrooms and adaptogens with an original idea. They have enriched popular drinks with these traditionally used medicinal gems that can fill our every day with more energy, physical stamina, inner peace and productivity. With this venture, they have made functional mushrooms available to virtually anyone.

Adding the dual extract of these mushrooms and adaptogens to popular beverages like hot cocoa, coffee, latte or matcha latte or creating a multi-species mushroom blend creates a drink for moments of well-being while "recharging the batteries" and boosting the psyche and immunity.

Four Sigmatic products meet the strictest quality criteria. In addition to USDA Organic certification, they are regularly tested by independent laboratories for heavy metals, yeast, mycotoxins and radiation levels. The ingredients in all Four Sigmatic beverages are purely plant-based.
