We answer.
What is an adaptogenic blend?
An adaptogenic blend is a mix of plants and mushrooms described as adaptogens — species studied for their capacity to help the body deal with different forms of stress without unbalancing its functions. Our Inner Fire blend gathers six lineages (Chaga, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Mucuna, Maca, Lucuma) into a powder prepared warm like a latte.
Does the adaptogenic blend contain caffeine?
No. None of the six plants in the blend contains caffeine. It is a coffee alternative designed to offer steady morning support, without the jitters or the crash associated with caffeine.
Which plants compose this blend?
Six. Chaga (8:1 extract), Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Mucuna pruriens, Maca and Lucuma — three lineages crossed between Indian Ayurveda (Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Mucuna), Andean high-altitude medicine (Maca, Lucuma) and Siberian boreal mycology (Chaga).
How do I prepare an adaptogenic latte?
Place a heaped teaspoon (about 5 g) in a small saucepan. Add 250 ml of plant milk (oat, almond, coconut). Heat gently until simmering — around 85°C, never boiling — to preserve the beta-glucans of Chaga. Emulsify with a manual or electric frother for 30 seconds to obtain a creamy texture.
When should I drink the adaptogenic blend?
In the morning, as a waking ritual — ideally between 7 and 10 am, after twenty minutes of natural awakening. Its nutritional density accompanies the morning and tempers the hunger sensation. Not after 2 pm — Mucuna and Maca can slightly awaken in the late afternoon.
Can the adaptogenic blend replace coffee?
It is designed as an alternative to coffee — same warmth, same morning ritual, without caffeine. The transition is gentle — two weeks in parallel with coffee, then coffee withdraws by itself around the third week for many people.
How long before I feel the effects of an adaptogenic blend?
Adaptogens work over time — not as immediate effects. Count two to four weeks of daily intake for a first integrated sensation, and three to six months for the complete systemic benefit. It is a ground that builds, not a stimulant that fires.
Is the adaptogenic blend contraindicated during pregnancy?
Yes, as a precaution. The blend contains plants active on hormonal and nervous systems; it is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in case of dopaminergic treatment (Mucuna naturally brings L-DOPA) without the advice of a healthcare professional.
