Functional mushrooms: Organic Cordyceps militaris and Lion’s Mane extracts.
Focus support: L-theanine, an amino acid commonly studied for attention and relaxation.

Dietary features: Marketed as zero sugar, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and kosher.
Calories: The manufacturer's product pages list 5 calories per can.
This is a caffeinated energy beverage, not a psychedelic mushroom drink. The listed functional mushrooms are different from psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
Organic Cordyceps militaris--Cordyceps is a functional mushroom traditionally used in wellness practices and studied for its potential role in energy metabolism and exercise performance.
Why it's included: The brand positions Cordyceps as an energy and endurance ingredient. Research in humans is still developing, and the drink has not been established to improve athletic performance or stamina.
Organic Lion’s Mane mushroom--Lion’s Mane is an edible mushroom being researched for its potential effects on cognition and nerve health.
Why it's included: Marketed for mental clarity and focus. Current evidence does not establish that the amount in this beverage improves memory or prevents cognitive decline.
Natural caffeine from green coffee beans — 150 mg--Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and can temporarily increase alertness and reduce the feeling of fatigue.
Why it's included: This is the drink's primary immediate energy ingredient. At 150 mg per can, it provides a substantial caffeine serving, comparable to some larger cups of coffee.
L-theanine--An amino acid found naturally in tea and studied for its possible effects on attention and relaxation.
Why it's included: It is intended to complement the caffeine for a more balanced energy experience. It does not guarantee freedom from jitters, anxiety, or a caffeine crash.
Rosa roxburghii fruit--A botanical fruit that contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including vitamin C and other antioxidants.
Why it's included: Used as part of the brand's Senactiv botanical ingredient blend, which is marketed for vitality and exercise-related support. The finished beverage's specific contribution to these effects is not established.
Panax notoginseng root--A botanical related to other ginseng species, traditionally used in herbal preparations.
Why it's included: Combined with Rosa roxburghii in the Senactiv blend, which the brand markets for vitality and endurance. It may interact with certain medications, so people taking prescription medicines should check with a healthcare professional before use.
Ingredient descriptions reflect traditional uses, general research, and manufacturer positioning; they should not be interpreted as proven medical benefits of the finished drink.

Chill and serve: Refrigerate the can before drinking for the best sparkling flavor.
Start with your caffeine tolerance in mind: Each can contains 150 mg of caffeine. If you're sensitive to caffeine, consider choosing a lower-caffeine beverage instead.
Monitor total caffeine: The product's guidance recommends limiting daily caffeine intake to approximately 400 mg from all sources for most healthy adults. One can supplies 150 mg of that amount.
Avoid combining stimulants: Account for coffee, tea, pre-workout products, energy shots, and other caffeinated beverages consumed during the day.
Avoid late-day consumption: Caffeine can interfere with sleep, even when you no longer feel energized.
Follow the package directions: Do not exceed the recommended serving or use the beverage as a substitute for sleep, meals, or hydration.
Caffeine sensitivity--May cause jitters, anxiety, restlessness, headaches, a rapid heartbeat, or difficulty sleeping. Avoid use if you are particularly sensitive to caffeine.
Medical conditions and medications--Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have heart rhythm problems, high blood pressure, anxiety or panic symptoms, or take medication that may interact with caffeine or the botanical ingredients.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding--The manufacturer does not recommend this beverage for pregnant or nursing women. Avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless a qualified healthcare professional advises otherwise.
Children and adolescents--Not recommended for children. Its 150 mg caffeine content makes it unsuitable as a casual drink for young people.
Botanical ingredient interactions--Panax notoginseng and other botanical ingredients may interact with medications, including some medicines affecting blood clotting or blood pressure. Ask a pharmacist or clinician if you take medication regularly.
Sugar alcohol sensitivity--Erythritol may cause digestive discomfort in some people, particularly when consumed in larger amounts or alongside other sugar alcohols.
The manufacturer's explicit warning is that the beverage is not recommended for children, people sensitive to caffeine, pregnant women, or nursing women.
Adults looking for a sparkling energy drink with 150 mg of caffeine.
Customers interested in functional mushroom ingredients such as Lion's Mane and Cordyceps.
People seeking a zero-sugar alternative to conventional sweetened energy drinks.
Customers who want a convenient canned beverage for busy days, work, or activities requiring alertness.
The functional mushroom ingredients are a point of difference, but the immediate energizing effect is primarily attributable to caffeine. The drink is not a treatment for fatigue, attention disorders, or other medical conditions.
