 I have recently tested Instant Coffee Mix with Lionsman and Chaga made by Forstigmatic. How does it taste? How does it feel? And does it really boost your brain performance better than other alternatives? I've tested it out for a few weeks and here is everything you need to know about this product. Hi friends and welcome to your Inception's YouTube channel. My name is Greg Gostingar and on this channel we are on the hunt for the best products, Nutropics and supplements to boost brain performance. If that interests you then be sure to subscribe and hit the bell for notifications. Let's talk about this coffee mix with two potent mushrooms. Now I've been researching Nutropics for long enough to know that such products are quite trendy nowadays. Many people are trying to stir off coffee and find a healthier alternative and Forstigmatic is one of the first brands that started offering their solution a few years ago. But the question is how much do you actually gain by drinking this instant coffee to a normal cup of coffee or maybe taking Nutropics? Well, let's find out. By the way, what's your favorite coffee alternative? Let me know in the comments section below. Okay, let's start with the main benefits of this specific product. Instant coffee mix was designed to boost your mental performance to increase your energy and improve your mood. If you know anything about coffee or Nutropics, you know that they promise to do the same thing. So why would I choose this specific product which is way more expensive than standard coffee? Well, because it contains two potent medicinal mushrooms, Lyon's mane and Chaga. Now Lyon's mane is one of the most popular Nutropics due to its potential effects on boosting cognition. Multiple studies show that supplementing Lyon's mane can reduce anxiety and depression and improve cognitive performance. Now you can click up here to learn more about Lyon's mane. On the other side we have Chaga, a potent antioxidant that may also help with stress, anxiety and even inflammation. Now if you combine coffee with those two potent mushrooms, you're supposed to get a strong brain booster without the typical side effects of coffee. But does that actually happen? Well, here is what happened during my test period. By the way, are you on the lookout for the best Nutropics to boost your brain performance but don't know where to start? Take a look at our free Nutropics quiz linked below to get personalized recommendations that will be the perfect choice for you. Well, I've been experimenting with this instant drink for a while to see how effective it really is. Now before I talk about its taste, let's first mention the effects. Now, by taking one packet you'll consume about 250 milligrams of Lyon's mane, about 250 milligrams of Chaga and about 50 milligrams of caffeine. Now if you're not used to drinking caffeine or taking it in a capsule form, you should experience quite a strong boost in about 15 minutes after drinking. But if you're used to drinking coffee, then of course the effects would be milder but still noticeable. Now I was quite positively surprised by the effect, my focus and energy increased and my mood improved. The effects lasted for about two to three hours which was quite okay. Now the problem was that the only effect you get from this product comes from caffeine and not the mushrooms. Sadly, Lyon's mane is quite ineffective for short-term use based on all the data available and the same goes with Chaga. Sure, both Nutropics are very good but mainly for long-term use. So basically all the effects you're gonna get come from caffeine. So for some this product will still be a game changer but for others it just won't do enough. However, this instant mix has one big advantage to coffee. I never really experienced any side effects that I usually experience with coffee. So I wasn't nervous or anxious after drinking this instant coffee mix. Why is that? Well firstly, because the amount of caffeine is about half the normal dosage and secondly because what Chaga seems to do is to offset some of the side effects of caffeine and that's a big advantage of this supplement. Now about the taste. Okay, let's try this instant coffee mix. Smells quite good, to be honest. All right, yeah, it tastes quite good. It definitely tastes like coffee, very similar but you can see there's like something else added in. I would never say there mushrooms in but it smells and tastes a little bit like it's burnt, not in a bad way. Well, how can that not be in a bad way? Well, but yeah, you gotta try it out and you'll see. It tastes pretty good, like instant coffee. It's not as good in my opinion as a typical cup of coffee you make at your home or you buy somewhere in a coffee shop but yeah, I think it's definitely drinkable much better than I expected. So thumbs up. So as you saw, I actually like the taste. Now when I first drank it I wasn't really sure about it but since I got used to drinking bitter drinks, the taste is quite good. Now if you're a coffee sommelier then this will probably not convince you in terms of taste but for everyone else it should be fine. But is this product good enough to buy it? And is it worth the price? By the way, if you like this video, please press the like button below. So one package like this one costs about $15 or $12 if you subscribe. However, you only get about 10 packets in it so basically a monthly dose would cost you between $40 and $45 which is not that affordable anymore. Now since there are only two added ingredients in Lion's mane and Chaga and none of them actually give you any short-term benefits it's hard to say whether this price is justifiable. On the other hand, most people won't experience any side effects of caffeine plus you get this drink in small packets so it's really perfect on the go and that's a big advantage. Now before we get to the final verdict let's check out the pros and cons of this product. Let's start with pros. First of all, it is portable so it's great when you're on the go. It contains less caffeine than a typical cup of coffee which is both a pro and a con. It contains two medicinal mushrooms and the ingredients are high quality. Now how about the cons? It is quite expensive for what you get. There's too low amount of caffeine for some people. It lacks some potent naturopics and the taste is not optimal. So who is this product for? Well if you search for a mild energy booster that delivers the effects of coffee without its side effects then this is definitely a product to try. It tastes good, it is convenient to use and contains high quality naturopics. If you want to buy it there's a link below so just check it out.
