Energy level regulation can be described as our body's ability to achieve a mental state of alertness and focus as well as possess adequate physical stamina, particularly when we need to concentrate on or complete a specific task. Our Mushroom Cacao is one of the most potent adaptogen drinks on the market. Mushroom Cacao Blend offers benefit in both of these areas--as it has been specifically designed to help provide the sustained mental alertness and physical stamina you need to power through your day--and may also help boost your mood:
Cocoa Powder:
- Antioxidants: Cocoa is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which can help protect cells from oxidative damage.
Cacao Powder:
- Nutrient-Rich: Cacao powder is less processed than cocoa and retains more of its natural nutrients, including minerals like magnesium and iron.
Coconut Milk Powder:
- Nutrients: It contains some nutrients found in coconut milk, such as healthy fats and minerals.
Cocoa Extract:
- Antioxidants: It may contain higher levels of antioxidants compared to regular cocoa powder.
Lion's Mane 8:1 Fruiting Body Extract:
- Cognitive Support: Lion's Mane mushroom is associated with potential cognitive benefits and may support brain health and function.
- Antioxidants: Lion's Mane contains antioxidants that can protect cells from oxidative stress.
Cordyceps 8:1 Fruiting Body Extract:
- Energy and Stamina: Cordyceps is known for its potential to enhance energy levels and physical stamina.
- Adaptogenic: It may help the body adapt to stress and promote overall resilience.
Pink Himalayan Salt:
- Minerals: It contains trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
This adaptogen drink combines the energy-boosting properties of cocoa and chocolate with the potential health benefits of Lion's Mane and Cordyceps. Always follow recommended serving sizes and consult with a healthcare provider if you have specific dietary or health concerns.
How To Use
Suggested Use: Add One Rounded Teaspoon of Mushroom Cacao to 6 Ounces of hot water, coffee, tea, or smoothie. You may add your creamer or sweetener of choice to taste. However, many people enjoy the balanced flavor of our Mushroom Cacao alone. Best taken in the first half of the day, especially for those sensitive to stimulants.

Clinical Evidence
Cocoa Powder, Cacao Powder, and Cocoa Extract are all concentrated derivatives of the cacao bean, which is the base ingredient in chocolate. All three are processed slightly differently--and thus possess slightly different nutrient profiles--but they are all known to contain small amounts of the compounds caffeine, theobromine, and phenylethylamine (PEA), which can promote feelings of well-being and alertness. Multiple studies have demonstrated that cocoa supplementation can enhance memory and cognitive function and reduce fatigue--while also boosting mood and reducing anxiety--to a greater extent than consuming caffeine in isolation. 1
Coconut Milk Powder is a natural creamer that is dairy and lactose free. It has a nice, smooth flavor as well as health benefits. It is rich in Medium Chain Triglycerides which is a great source of energy for the body and brain. Many people who stick to low carb or ketogenic diets supplement with medium chain triglycerides for a quick source of energy that does not spike blood sugar.
Lion's Mane 8:1 Fruiting Body Extract is derived from a medicinal mushroom. Lon's Mane has been used for thousands of years to improve brain health and energy. Many recent studies suggest that Lion's Mane has the ability to increase brain derived neurotrophic factor. This enables this powerful mushroom to regrow brain cells and heal brain neurons.
Cordyceps 8:1 Fruiting Body Extract is derived from the Cordyceps genus of mushrooms that has long been touted in traditional Chinese medicine for possessing medicinal properties. The use of the fruiting body results in a higher quality product than use of the mycelium, and the "8:1" figure indicates that the product is highly concentrated, requiring eight parts of raw material to make one part of the resulting extract. Cordyceps has been reported to have adaptogenic properties--meaning that it helps the body adapt to stress--as well as energy-boosting effects. Long-term supplementation studies in humans are sparse, though animal studies have shown promising signs of potential anti-fatigue and anti-depressant effects. The mechanisms underlying these effects are currently unclear, though it is thought that the bioactive compound cordycepin may have impacts on stress-related inflammatory pathways, neurotransmitter synthesis, turnover, and function, and cellular energy metabolism. 4
Sunflower Lecithin is an amphiphilic compound that helps to increase the absorption and utilization of many nutrients. It helps to combine water soluble and fat soluble nutrients for increased absorption.
Pink Himalayan Salt has been added to our Mushroom Cacao formulation for a couple of reasons. Firstly, a small amount of salt smooths and adds depth to the flavor of cocoa and cacao. Second, pink himalayan salt contains 72 or more minerals that help nourish our bodies.

Mushroom Cacao FAQ
Below are our most frequently asked questions about our Mushroom Cacao.
What are adaptogenic mushrooms?
Adaptogenic mushrooms are a group of fungi that contain compounds known as adaptogens, which help the body adapt to stress, support immune function, and promote overall well-being. They have been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems for their medicinal properties. Our Mushroom Cacao is one of the most potent adaptogen drinks on the market.
What are the key benefits of consuming adaptogen drinks?
Adaptogenic mushroom cacao may offer several potential benefits, including stress reduction, immune support, cognitive enhancement, energy boost, and mood regulation. Consuming adaptogen drinks is a great way to increase energy. Additionally, cacao powder provides antioxidants and may support heart health and mood elevation.
What type of mushroom extract do you use?
Synchronicity Health only uses an 8:1 Fruiting Body Extract of mushrooms. These extracts are the most potent on the market and are third-party tested for purity and potency.
What is the "Fruiting Body" of a Mushroom?
The fruiting body of a mushroom, also known as the sporocarp, is the visible reproductive structure that emerges from the mycelium of a fungus. It is the part of the mushroom that we typically recognize and consume. The fruiting body's main purpose is to produce and disperse spores, which are the fungal equivalent of seeds, enabling the fungus to reproduce and spread. Examples of fruiting bodies include the cap and stem of a typical mushroom, as well as structures like puffballs and brackets in other types of fungi.
This is the most medicinal part of an adaptogenic mushroom and is far superior to the "Mycellium" that most other products on the market use. Mycellium powders and extracts contain a large amount of inactive medium such as oat or rice.
Is adaptogenic mushroom cacao safe to consume?
Adaptogenic mushroom cacao is generally considered safe for most people when consumed in moderation. Adaptogen drinks are generally considered to be a safe supplement. However, it's essential to follow the recommended dosage instructions provided on the product label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying health conditions or are pregnant or nursing.
