The Issue With Most Coffee Alternatives

There are many coffee alternatives on the market, and it can be challenging for health-conscious consumers to determine which is the best option.

Many coffee alternatives suffer from one of two issues:

1. Not enough caffeine from quality ingredients to boost energy and support cognition

2. Unhealthy additive ingredients to improve taste

At least 32 milligrams (mg) of caffeine may be necessary to boost mood and performance according to one clinical trial.

Many coffee alternatives contain unhealthy flavoring additives like “natural flavors” which may contain ingredients like synthetic preservatives.

Enter Nandaka

Nandaka is an organic coffee alternative made by Pique that addresses both of these issues, and is the healthiest and most effective coffee alternative on the market in our opinion:

  • Contains 85 mg of slow-release caffeine for an energy and nootropic boost
  • Contains entirely organic whole food ingredients like ceremonial-grade high fat cacao and has no unhealthy additives
  • Contains Lion’s Mane extract, which supported cognition and decreased stress in a 2023 clinical trial of young adults
  • Contains fermented black and green tea which contains polyphenols and clinically appear to have an antioxidant effect in the body
  • Contains fruiting body extract, rather than mycelia, which has more antioxidants and beta-glucans according to some studies
  • Tastes chocolatey and rich (we tried it)
