Four Sigmatic's Mushroom Focus Shot offers a different way for consumers to energize themselves with the help of adaptogenic ingredients and natural sources of caffeine.
While Four Sigmatic makes a variety of drink mixes with adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms, this shot marks its entry into the ready-to-drink market. The compact shot is packed with functional ingredients like Lion’s mane mushrooms, rhodiola, guayusa and rosehips, plus pineapple juice, lime juice, stevia and a hint of salt for taste. The product provides roughly the same amount of naturally occurring caffeine as a cup of green tea yet half the amount in ordinary energy drinks.
For years, consumers have been able to purchase 2.5-ounce energy shots in convenience stores and other locations but a new wave of these products are being introduced with better-for-you ingredients that include everything from brain-boosting nootropics to calming CBD with mind-body benefits.
