Adaptogenic Coffee: Why and How to Upgrade Your Morning Routine
Coffee is a sacred morning ritual. But did you know you could turn your daily cup into a genuine wellness ritual? Welcome to the world of adaptogenic coffee, the trend reshaping...
Flow Coffee, London Nootropics' adaptogenic coffee with Lion's Mane and Rhodiola, is available at SuperKure, shipped from France within 24 to 48 hours, with no customs fees in Europe and free delivery on orders over €60. Ordering from a French site avoids import delays and lets you ask your questions to a French-speaking customer service team.
Each Flow sachet contains 250 mg of Hifas da Terra Lion's Mane extract (45% beta-glucans) and 83 mg of Rhodiolife® Rhodiola rosea extract (3% rosavins, 1% salidroside), in an instant coffee made with 6% finely ground roasted coffee and a natural flavouring. The box contains 12 sachets. The formula is vegan, with no preservatives or artificial sweeteners.
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a mushroom associated, in traditional uses and user feedback, with concentration and mental clarity. Rhodiola is an adaptogenic plant traditionally used in times of fatigue and pressure.
Flow contains 80 to 110 mg of caffeine per sachet, equivalent to a regular cup of coffee, so it can replace your morning coffee. EFSA considers that an adult can consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day without risk to their health. At 1 or 2 sachets a day you stay below that, as long as you do not add other caffeinated drinks.
Add 1 sachet to a large mug with about 300 ml of hot water and stir to dissolve. Drink it black or with the milk of your choice. It tastes like a regular coffee, with a slight earthy note from the mushrooms. The sachets are individually sealed, giving the brand a 12-month shelf life.
In the morning, or before a task that requires concentration. The brand recommends 1 to 2 adaptogenic coffees a day depending on how you feel. Avoid Flow late in the afternoon: caffeine and Rhodiola can disturb falling asleep in sensitive people. If you are new to adaptogens, start with half a sachet to find your balance.
Caffeine kicks in within about 30 to 60 minutes. For the Lion's Mane and Rhodiola extracts, allow 2 to 4 weeks of regular use before taking stock. Tip: rate your concentration from 1 to 10 each week for 4 weeks to compare objectively.
Flow contains caffeine: it is not recommended for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or in cases of high blood pressure, arrhythmia or heart conditions. Rhodiola can interact with certain treatments, notably antidepressants: ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice. The brand does not guarantee the absence of traces of allergens (nuts, eggs, wheat): if you have an allergy, contact our customer service.
Yes, Flow is vegan. According to the brand, a sachet provides calories comparable to a regular coffee (3 to 4 kcal) and does not break intermittent fasting if drunk black. Adding milk or sugar adds calories. The formula contains no preservatives or artificial sweeteners.
Flow (Lion's Mane + Rhodiola) aims at concentration and mental clarity, Zen (L-theanine + Ashwagandha) at calmer energy, and Mojo (Cordyceps + Siberian Ginseng) at physical energy and endurance. All three contain 80 to 110 mg of caffeine. Not sure which to pick? The Selection Box brings together all 3 blends in 12 sachets, 4 of each.
