Why "Mushroom Cacao" is the Ultimate Evening Wind-Down
We all have our evening vices. For some, it's a glass of wine to "take the edge off." For others, it's doom-scrolling on social media until 1 AM.
But what if your evening treat could actually improve your sleep instead of disrupting it?
Enter Reishi Mushroom Cacao. It tastes like a rich, indulgent hot chocolate, but it acts like a hug for your nervous system.
What is Reishi Mushroom?
Known as the "Mushroom of Immortality" in ancient Eastern medicine, Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a powerful adaptogen. Unlike coffee or energy drinks which stimulate you, Reishi is grounding.
It helps to lower cortisol (stress) levels and prepares the body for a restful state, making it the perfect ingredient for the evening transition from "work mode" to "rest mode."
A Better Alternative to Evening Wine
Many of us drink wine to relax, but alcohol actually ruins your sleep quality by blocking REM sleep and causing blood sugar spikes at night.
Reishi offers that same "ahhh" feeling of relaxation—physically lowering your heart rate and calming the mind—but without the hangover, dehydration, or poor sleep quality.
Swapping your nightcap for a mug of Evopure Reishi Cacao is a simple biohack to improve your energy for the next day.
The Science Behind the Blend
This isn't just hot chocolate. We have formulated this blend with three synergistic ingredients to maximise bioavailability and effect:
- Dual-Extracted Reishi: We use both water and alcohol extraction methods to ensure you get the beta-glucans (for immunity) and triterpenes (for calming the liver and nervous system).
- Raw Peruvian Cacao: Unlike processed cocoa, raw cacao is packed with Magnesium—the "relaxation mineral"—and mood-boosting antioxidants.
- Ceylon Cinnamon: Added not just for flavour, but to help stabilise blood sugar levels before bed, preventing those 3 AM wake-ups.
How to Create Your Evening Ritual
To get the most out of the calming effects, consistency is key.
- Heat your milk: We recommend oat milk or almond milk for a creamy texture.
- Stir in the magic: Add 1-2 teaspoons of Evopure Reishi Cacao.
- Whisk well: Use a frother to get that coffee-shop style foam.
- Disconnect: Drink it at least 30 minutes before bed, ideally without your phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it taste like mushrooms?
Not at all! It has a rich, earthy chocolate flavour thanks to the raw cacao and cinnamon. You won't taste the mushroom.
Is there caffeine in it?
Raw cacao has a tiny amount of natural caffeine (negligible compared to coffee), but the calming effects of Reishi balance this out perfectly for evening use.
Can I drink this every night?
Yes. Adaptogens like Reishi work best when taken consistently over time, helping your body build resilience to stress.
