Why add adaptogens to coffee & tea?Updated 5 months ago

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.
