Adaptogenic Mushroom Shots

Four Sigmatic's Focus Shot is Powered by Lion's Mane Mushrooms

— April 17, 2019 — Lifestyle
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.
Trend Themes
1. Adaptogenic Ingredients in Energy Products - Developing energy products with adaptogenic ingredients like Lion's mane mushrooms presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the market.
2. Ready-to-drink Adaptogenic Shots - Creating ready-to-drink adaptogenic shots offers a convenient and on-the-go option for consumers seeking natural sources of caffeine and functional ingredients.
3. Healthier Energy Shots with Functional Ingredients - Introducing energy shots with better-for-you ingredients such as brain-boosting nootropics and calming CBD opens up disruptive innovation prospects in the energy shot industry.
Industry Implications
1. Functional Beverages - The functional beverages industry can leverage the trend of adaptogenic ingredients in energy products to create innovative and healthier beverage options.
2. Natural Supplements - The natural supplements industry can explore the ready-to-drink adaptogenic shot trend as a way to provide convenient and effective mushroom-based supplements to consumers.
3. Energy Drink Market - The energy drink market can tap into the opportunity to develop healthier energy shots with functional ingredients as a more balanced and natural alternative to traditional energy drinks.
