Many of us rely on coffee to start our days, and now it is possible to amp up the caffeine intake even further with nootropic coffee blends designed to enhance focus and mental energy without the risk of afternoon coffee crashes and over-stimulation.

Nootropic is an umbrella term describing any substance that boosts cognitive functioning, from nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical drugs such as Adderall and Provigil (which are actually used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy respectively) to everyday foods and beverages like coffee that contain caffeine, fish oil, the plant ginkgo biloba or herbal products that may possess nootropic properties.

There has already been a proliferation of innovations in coffee, from Bulletproof Coffee’s rising popularity to turmeric latte trends and an emerging crop of adaptogenic varieties. Now comes vybey Braincare Smart Focus which promises more than simply alertness through its medicinal mushroom blend of chaga mushrooms, maca root and lion’s mane mushrooms.
