OUR HERBAL SUPERHEROS
Do what a typical coffee won't
Focus
Our caffeine-free nootropic enhances mental alertness for up to 5 hours without energy crashes or jitters. Chicory and dandelion boost gut health, positively impacting the gut-brain axis.
Gut Health
Chicory and dandelion root, rich in prebiotic fibers nourish beneficial gut bacteria aiding in liver detoxification, improving nutrient absorption and enhancing overall digestive wellness.
Energy
Our clinically proven nootropic, derived from Alpinia galanga (a ginger-related herb), supported further by B vitamins (convertin glucose into energy), delivers a sustained, gentle, non-stimulant energy boost without over-stimulating the nervous system.
Anti-Inflammation
Dandelion, chicory, and carob roots provide powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Their rich phytochemical compounds scavenge free radicals and protect from oxidative damage and help reduce inflammation, promoting overall health.
Detox & Blood Sugar Regulation
Dandelion root, a traditional "liver tonic," supports detoxification and liver health. Dandelion and chicory aid in blood sugar management, while carob and chicory fiber stabilize blood sugar, preventing caffeine and sugar induced energy crashes.
Adrenal Balance
Dandelion, chicory, and carob support adrenal health by reducing stress-induced cortisol spikes and help balance adrenal function, promoting resilience against stress and provide steady energy, minimizing adrenal fatigue from caffeine or sugar highs.
"...What if there was a brew that that could support the fundamentals of our health—nurturing our gut, aiding detox, tackling inflammation, and supporting our taxed adrenals—all while keeping us focused and energized?..."

Our customers talk about it
Colby
"Like it much better than some mushroom coffees out there. Glad there are more options finally!"
Sofia
"I can't drink coffee because I'm too sensitive to caffeine, and I've been looking for a good alternative for so long. This is by far the best I've found. You only need one teaspoon and it tastes so good, helps my focus (handy as someone with ADHD) and gives me a steady and lasting boost of energy. I love the health benefits too. 100% making this drink part of my routine."
Juliet W
"My husband and I have recently been trying the low caff and I can testify that it is absolutely delicious .Very smooth, not bitter or gritty, and strong enough to taste like a coffee substitute. It’s a wonderful discovery and really hits the spot!"
Carmen
"5 stars all around! I love the taste and smell of coffee, but I hate how it makes me feel on edge and dehydrated. I am so happy to have found Nous and Soma so I can enjoy my morning's cuppa without compromising my wellbeing. Fully recommend it!!"

🧹 Daily detoxification support:
Did you know that your liver is one of the hardest-working organs in our body? A sluggish liver can lead to everything from energy to hormonal issues. Support your body in flushing toxins as a part of daily detox routines with Dandelion, a powerhouse detoxifier.
Did you know that detox is essential for women’s hormonal health because the body must regularly eliminate used or excess hormones — especially estrogen — to maintain balance.
-
🚫 No Cortisol Spikes, or Sleep Disturbances
Caffeine also spikes cortisol, which can increase stress and inflammation, and disrupt gut health. Drinking caffeine too late in the day can disrupt sleep since even small amounts still circulate in your system at bedtime. Switching to a low-caffeine or no-caffeine alternative for your first cup or afternoon pick-me-up supports better energy, balanced hormones, and deeper sleep.
-
🌿Daily Vitality

With MCT oil for sustained energy, lion’s mane for mental focus, magnesium bisglycinate for calm balance, and a B-vitamin complex to convert nutrients into natural energy, it helps you feel clear, centered, and resilient — without caffeine or crashes.
How to prepare
- Add two spoonful to your cup
- Pour in hot water & stir
- Add your favorite milk or mylk, if desired.
🍄 WHAT MAKES NOUS & SOMA'S LION MANE SO SPECIAL
Not all mushroom extracts are created equal. Ours goes beyond beta-glucans — it’s rich in hericenones and hericenes, the key compounds that support focus, memory, and mental clarity. These are the bioactives that make Lion’s Mane truly work.
🍄 WHY DO YOU ONLY USE THE FRUITING BODY?
Because that’s where the magic happens. The fruiting body (the visible part of the mushroom) is packed with the brain-boosting compounds we’re after. Many products use mycelium grown on grain, which has little to no actives — and a lot of filler. We don’t.
🍄 HOW IS YOUR LION'S MANE EXTRACTED
We use NordRelease® extraction technology, a clean and precise process that gently releases the mushroom’s natural bioactives without damaging them. It’s how we ensure every serving is potent, pure, and consistent.
🍄 IS IT BACKED BY SCIENCE
Yes. A 2023 clinical study on the same extract showed improved focus, working memory, and mood within just two hours of use. Real results, verified by research — not just folklore.
☕HOW DOES THE N&S SECOND CUP BLEND TASTE?
Indulge in a medium roast buttery blend of rich, earthy dandelion and chicory root, sweetened with chocolatey carob and a hint of cacao. You wont even taste the Lion's mane!
