Why add adaptogens to coffee & tea?
The properties of caffeine and adaptogens are totally synergistic.
- Caffeine gives us an immediate boost, whereas adaptogens build long-term, sustainable energy.
- Caffeine can make us anxious or jittery, whereas adaptogens like ashwagandha have an anti-anxiety effect.
- Caffeine creates a cortisol release (that ‘I can take on the world’ feeling) but also taxes our adrenal system over time, whereas adaptogens nourish our adrenals to bring us back into balance.
- Caffeine stimulates our central nervous system, whereas adaptogens are nervines— meaning they soothe and support our central nervous system.
What does this all mean?
A calmer, more grounded energy that doesn't deplete our bodies in the same way regular caffeine does.
