What We Do

Coffee is “wakeup technology” that has not materially improved in 1,500 years. We are changing that. 50% of Americans have a gene variant that makes metabolizing caffeine difficult, causing jitters, bloating, and stomach problems. Most people shrug their shoulders and say, “Welp, that’s coffee.” Instead of shoulder shrugging, we’ve developed a priority blend of coffee, functional mushrooms, collagen protein, and nootropics to promote focus, energy, immunity, and gut health. No crash. No B.S. We’ve served 1,000,000 customers in the past 3 years. There are 150,000,000 coffee drinkers left. We’re less than 2% done. Come join us for the remaining 98%. We offer an alternative to normal coffee and stimulants. We are the first mushroom company to combine functional mushrooms, collagen protein and nootropics to activate your DOSE (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin & Endorphins).
