A Nootropic Drink Powder for Productivity? Yes, Please!

No question – that morning double shot of espresso helps you get going and zone in; slamming a Celsius® perks you up during a drive; a scoop of energy drink powder helps you focus on your workout. Until they don’t, and you’re left exhausted, p*ssed off, and kind of (or very) addicted.

But there’s a caffeine-free energy drink replacement that acts as a mood enhancer, concentration and productivity drink all in one. Even better – no looming crash or caffeine hamster wheel. It’s us, MTE! We’ve replaced caffeine with nootropics: a stack of healthy alternatives to energy drinks and ineffective productivity supplements.

Here, we focus in on our focus-boosting ingredients that can transform your daily grind:

A Science-Backed Pro-Focus Nootropic Stack

What’s in a focus drink? How do nootropics work, and can they really replace stimulants and sugars? Studies sure think so! Our nootropic stack is stacked with MVPs of bioactivity. In the question of MTE’s nootropics vs stimulants, we’re pretty confident we win the wellness award:

GABA

GABA is a native amino acid, meaning it’s naturally produced by the body. It’s an amino acid, neurotransmitter, and nootropic all in one. When you’re brain is overexcited, GABA shoots around trying to put out anxiety fires. It’s used in mainstream psychiatry for chronic difficulties with mood and affect, as well as some neurological disorders.

Studies show GABA supports better sleep, enhanced mood, and lower stress. Subjects in some studies described feeling more able to pay attention, and better ability to plan and organize. As well, it has been correlated with improved mental and physical performance.

Theanine

L-theanine is a nootropic compound found in green and black tea leaves as well as certain mushrooms. It’s thought to be responsible for the umami taste of tea, and studies indicate it’s also likely responsible for the calming effect of green tea. Theanine supports cognition and may improve functions like memory, recall and the ability to learn.

Studies show l-theanine has been observed to increase alpha wave activity, which is associated with clear, non-drowsy calm. Studies also support its use as a mood enhancer in focus and productivity drinks, indicating it promotes improved attention, working memory, and the ability to focus on complex tasks.

Saffron

Is there anything these tiny flower threads can’t do? Saffron is a superfood (well… super herb) and nootropic but also has adaptogenic qualities. Its nutritional profile is what makes it so multifaceted – it’s chocked full on bioactive compounds our body loves (and usually doesn’t get enough of).

In research, saffron has shown a protective effect on the brain and central nervous system, endocrine, heart, reproductive, and digestive systems! Support for saffron drinks for focus includes observed improvements cognitive function, protective effects on hippocampal activity, free radical scavenging, improvements in memory, and protection for DNA integrity and even cancerous cells.

Paraxanthine

A new-to-the-game player in wellness and productivity drink powders, paraxanthine is one of the best ingredients in energy drinks for concentration. A naturally-observed metabolite of caffeine, it enhances mood and energy without eliciting a stress response like stimulants do.

Research shows paraxanthine vs caffeine promoted better wakefulness but did not result in a crash or sleep rebound. Studies also indicate this nootropic boosts focus without increasing stress, increases cognitive performance (reduced errors on tasks), and even promotes thermogenesis (metabolism) and physical performance.

How Our Supplement Powder Promotes Productivity

We’ve already got a nootropic stack that would make a solid focus drink all on their own. But there are a few other ingredients in our productivity supplement that support this nootropic combination by promoting clarity, mood, and stress resilience:

Maca

A cruciferous creature that’s part adaptogen, part superfood, studies have seen maca boost energy levels, endurance, and athletic performance, reduce the negative effects of stress, raise and regulate mood, and ease recovery. It may even be beneficial for menopause symptoms.

Eleuthero

Also known as Siberian ginseng, eleuthero is a powerful adaptogen. Ages old, it was identified as a performance booster in modern times by Russian scientists looking for an alternative to ginseng because of the shortage. Studies indicate eleuthero promotes stress resilience, endurance, energy, immunity, and recovery from physical activity.

Ashwagandha

One of the most famous superfoods and adaptogens, ashwagandha has so many functions in the body it also has nootropic effects! A vitality booster and stress reducer, studies on ashwagandha have observed benefits to concentration, mood, stress, physical performance, executive function and reaction time, immunity, and more.

MTE: The Best Energy Drink for Concentration, Calm & Focus

There’s more to life than caffeine and crashing. A feel-good wellness drink, MTE is a productivity supplement, healthy energy drink, and daily wellness blend all in one.
