Spark is an adaptogenic seltzer by PolkaDot to reach for when energy, focus, and clarity are desired without the crash or jitters. This zero-sugar sparkling functional drink shares natural flavors and offers an enjoyable way to intake 10 active nootropics and functional mushrooms. With effects that can be felt in about 20 to 30 minutes, drinkers will find newfound support when it comes to powering through study sessions without hitting a wall, or stop reaching for their phone frequently mid-task. Beneath these lived experiences are ingredients working to boost cerebreal blood flow, improve memory, processing speed and sustain cognitive output in ways that the brain simply feels before it ever understands.
PolkaDot's adaptogenic seltzer range also includes Connect Seltzer, which combines mood-lifting botanicals with mushrooms for libido support to inspire presence, openness and connection.
