Looking for an added boost to your morning coffee? These nootropic mushroom-infused blends offer a great cognition boost to not only increase energy, but focus and memory as well. We’ve tried out all the top brands and compiled the best ones here.

Switching from normal coffee to one augmented with nootropic ingredients like Lions Mane and Chaga can offer a great boost to your morning.  Not only will you get the usual energy from the caffeine, you also get an added mental focus and clarity from the nootropics.

These nootropics give you an added kick to your mental cognition and help you achieve that ‘flow state’ that we all love. And as an added benefit, they actually help to “level out” the caffeine and make it a lot less jittery.

In short, there’s really no downside here, and nowadays there are actually some options that taste great on top of the health and performance benefits.  We’ve compiled our top recommendations for the best nootropic-infused mushroom coffee brands below (with easy links for purchase).

*For an added bonus try adding in one of our favorite coffee creamers to your morning brew – Laird Superfood Non-Dairy Creamer with Functional Mushrooms.

#1. Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee with Lion’s Mane & Chaga

  • 100% organic
  • Caffeine for energy
  • Lion’s Mane for cognitive performance and concentration
  • Chaga for immune support
  • Tastes like coffee, not mushrooms

Serving Size:  4 Tablespoons
Servings:  ~16
Price Per Serving: $0.94

Four Sigmatic is one of the oldest companies in the mushroom coffee market and has been promoted by a number of prominent biohackers over the past few years, perhaps most notably by Tim Ferriss on his podcast. The company offers a number of products but this mushroom coffee blend stands out as a constant favorite.

Not only does this blend offer 100% organic arabica coffee for a solid caffeine energy boost, it also includes 500mg of organic Lion’s Mane mushrooms which has been shown to have a distinct benefit towards memory, focus, and concentration.

What’s more, Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee also has organic Chaga mushroom with antioxidant properties to support immune function & well-being; plus organic Rhodiola root to help fight stress.

You would think that given the number of mushroom ingredients included in this blend it wouldn’t have the best taste, and trust us, there certainly are mushroom coffees out there that taste like portabella juice. But not this one. Four Sigmatic actually tastes great – like coffee and not mushrooms.

And sure, you can tell that it’s a little different than a blonde roast from Starbucks. But it’s still pretty great. And considering the powerful blend of nootropics added to the caffeine, it’s our teams go-to method for kickstarting our day.

#2. Laird Superfood Organic Coffee with Lion’s Mane

  • Low acidity and bold flavor
  • Blend of Chaga, Lion’s Mane, and Cordyceps
  • Gluten free, vegan, non-GMO
  • Climate-pledge friendly

Serving Size:  4 Tablespoons
Servings:  ~16
Price Per Serving: $1.04

Coming from the popular supplement company owned by legendary surfer Laird Hamilton, this is our second choice for nootropic mushroom coffee.  This blend offers a great tasting organic arabica that’s 100% organic.

On top of that, they’ve also included three different mushrooms in the mix: Lion’s Mane for memory and focus, Chaga for immune support and metabolism boosting, and Cordyceps for supporting stamina and natural energy.

The only real downside to this option is it’s not entirely clear what the dosages of those mushrooms are (unlink Four Sigmatic which lists them clearly).  However, this is still a great option for a morning mushroom coffee energy boost.

#3. Top Shelf Grind Organic Lion’s Mane Coffee

  • High caffeine
  • Mushrooms grown in the US
  • Premium coffee
  • Ethical sourcing

Serving Size: 1 ounce
Servings:  ~10
Price Per Serving: $1.70

Last but not least we have Top Shelf Brewing’s high-caffeine dark roast mushroom blend. Like the others on this list Top Shelf also includes Lion’s Mane into the mix for an added nootropic kick. 

Unfortunately the company doesn’t specify how much of either ingredient is included, stating only that the blend is “high-caffeine” and “just the right amount” of Lion’s Mane. For that reason, we like to go with a more predictable choice.

However, Top Shelf does market this blend as being entirely produced in the United States, with the Lion Mane also grown in the US as well. 

 

BONUS ITEM – Laird Superfood Non-Dairy Creamer with Functional Mushrooms

  • Vegan & non-dairy coconut based creamer
  • No sugar or artificial ingredients
  • Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Chaga, & Maitake
  • All natural MCT-oils
  • Add to any hot coffee or tea for a great taste and nootropic boost

To wrap things up we have one of our favorite products overall – Laird Superfood’s non-dairy coffee creamer with nootropic mushrooms.  This is a clean, plant-based alternative to your traditional dairy and sugar laden coffee creamers, and a great alternative for people looking to avoid dairy products but still wanting to add a little something extra to their morning brew. 

The company’s original creamer is great in itself, but this version also adds in an extra nootropic kick with Lion’s Mane (memory and focus), Cordyceps (endurance and stamina), Chaga (metabolism and immune support), and Maitake (blood-sugar regulation).

Probably no other type of supplement elicits as much interest (or argument) from the biohacker community as nootropics. These compounds are meant to boost your brain’s cognitive function, increasing memory, focus, energy, and drive – similar to the effects of Adderall or Vyvanse but without the prescription.
The problem? Most of the nootropics on the market today are little more than caffeine pills masked with flashy marketing. Lucky for you we’ve compiled our top 3 favorite over-the-counter nootropic supplements here, along with our guide to using them effectively.

Ever eat a meal and get a headache afterwards out of nowhere? Or maybe it makes your brain feel slow, or gives you an upset stomach, and you have no idea why? Food sensitivity could be to blame. These sensitivities aren’t quite allergies in the sense that they’re dangerous, but their mild symptoms can absolutely affect your performance. And if you have no idea what’s causing them there’s no way to stop it.

The only way to really identify the culprit and avoid any future issues is with food sensitivity blood tests. These tests measure your body’s immune response to a wide variety of food and give you actionable information to better improve your health overall.

Supplementing with exogenous ketones allows you to take advantage of many of the benefits of the ketogenic diet – increased energy and mental clarity, improved weight loss, reduced hunger – without actually having to stay low carb.

It was hard not to gag getting them down. Fortunately there have been some great recent developments and nowadays there are a few supplements on the market that taste decent while still giving you the same great benefits.
