Natrium Health trailblazes a functional drink done right. A scoop of green powder dissolved in a cup of hot water brought a pleasant taste of matcha (green tea) with a savory umami taste. Green tea contains a blend of catechines, theanine, theophylline, and caffeine. The combination of theanine and the methylxanthines work together to improve mental focus combined with a significant calming effect. The relaxation and clear focus are a very sought after effect to increase mental performance. Adding four different full doses of mushroom extract to the mix really potentiates the smooth stimulation to a level far beyond what the matcha base could achieve. 1:1 Cordyceps extract is physically stimulating to me because of the high adenosine content which primes energy production via ATP genesis in the citric acid cycle of cellular mitochondria. 1:1 Lions Mane in combination with the full spectrum Tiger Milk mushroom extract gives me cognitive energy, a mood boost, and memory enhancement from their NGF and BDNF mimicking properties.

There is a good chance you have never actually had pure Reb-A stevia.
