A velvety hot chocolate blend infused with reishi mushroom and maca, to soothe stress and signal to your body that it's time to rest. Hot or cold, it's the calm ritual at the end of the day.

Neither actually works, and both leave you worse off the next morning. The day's noise carries on into the evening, and the thing you reach for to switch it off costs you the next day.
What most of us want is a different kind of evening ritual. Something warm, something you look forward to, that quietly tells the mind it's done for the day.
Anyone can stir a mushroom into hot chocolate. Here is what most of them leave out.
| Evopure | Most mushroom drinks | |
|---|---|---|
| Reishi extract, an adaptogen used for over 2,000 years | Yes | No |
| Maca root alongside it, for balance and steady mood | Yes | No |
| Organic cacao, sweetened with coconut sugar | Yes | No |
| No artificial sweeteners, flavourings or fillers | Yes | No |
| Tastes like cacao, not like mushroom | Yes | No |

How it works

The engine
Reishi mushroom. The adaptogen that helps the body settle under pressure.
The steering
Maca and cacao. They aim the calm at a warm, steady evening.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used in Eastern medicine for over two thousand years, not for one thing, but for helping the body regulate itself under pressure. Its beta-glucans and triterpenes work on the nervous system and the immune system at once, easing the day's stress without sedation. Regular drinkers report feeling rested rather than groggy.
Maca root sits alongside it for balance: steady energy and a steadier mood, so the wind-down doesn't tip into flat.
Raw cacao is the right vehicle. Its theobromine is a mild, sustained lift that, unlike caffeine, doesn't spike cortisol or disturb sleep. Add the magnesium and mood-lifting compounds cacao is known for, and you get a warm, calm alertness that makes the ritual something you look forward to.
We could have padded it out with extras you'd never taste. We didn't. Five things, each earning its place.

1/5The base
Raw, organic cacao. Theobromine for a calm, sustained lift, plus the magnesium and mood compounds cacao is known for.

2/5The engine
The adaptogen, taken as an extract so you get the beta-glucans and triterpenes without the mushroom taste.

3/5The steady
Grown high in the Andes. Supports hormonal balance, sustained energy and a steadier mood.

4/5The body
Gives it the richness of a proper hot chocolate, dairy free.

5/5The sweetness
A gentle, unrefined sweetener. No artificial sweeteners, flavourings or fillers.

Most mushroom drinks are assemblers. They buy a finished blend in from someone else's factory and put a label on it. There's nothing wrong with that. It just isn't making anything.
We do it the long way. The organic cacao, the reishi extract, the maca, the coconut milk powder and the coconut sugar each come in on their own, from a verified, QC-approved supplier, and we blend and formulate it ourselves, in-house, to our own recipe. The blend is ours, not a drum of someone else's. That's most of why Reishi Calm Cacao is hard to copy.
A small team does all of this. The people who formulate the blends are the ones who make them, hands on every batch. No white-label, no name over the door we're renting.
Blends worked out in-house, chemistry first. Designed by the same people who make them.
Every ingredient from a verified, QC-approved supplier. Formulated and blended by us, to our own recipe.
Every batch third-party tested and FSA registered. The results are yours to read.
And a short list of what never goes in: no artificial sweeteners, no flavourings, no fillers.
Every batch third-party tested and FSA registered.
How to take it
Make it the drink you look forward to. Nightly is where it does its best work.

Add one to two teaspoons (4 to 8g) to warm, not boiling, water or plant milk and stir well.
Take it thirty to sixty minutes before bed, as part of your evening wind-down.
Start with one teaspoon and adjust to taste. For a deeper sleep routine, pair it with Sleep CBD Oil or the Magnesium Sleep Complex.
Around thirty servings a pouch. Vegan, non-GMO, and nothing artificial in it.

Hot or cold. Make it yours.
Stir it into warm plant milk thirty minutes before bed. The classic way.

Hot or cold. Make it yours.
Shake it into cold oat milk over ice on a warm evening.

Hot or cold. Make it yours.
Add a teaspoon to an evening smoothie for a cacao hit without the caffeine.
Tips & advice
Taken consistently
Reishi is an adaptogen. It works on the body's own regulation, and that takes a little time. Here's how it tends to go.
Supplements work with the body's own rhythms, and everyone is different. These are what our customers most often tell us, not promises.
A proper hot drink instead of a nightcap. The theobromine gives a calm, warm alertness rather than a crash.
Taken nightly, most people find the evening noise drops earlier and sleep comes more easily, without grogginess the next morning.
Adaptogens work best the same way, a little each night. By now the ritual has settled in and the mornings tend to follow.

Reishi Mushroom Powder benefits comes from its adaptogenic properties, which can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. It has also been used to support healthy sleep cycles and improve immune function.
Not at all! The Reishi Mushroom drink is infused with Reishi extract to get all the benefits, without the taste. You can expect a rich chocolate flavour that comes from organic cacao, best served with a dash of hot water and warm milk.
The effects of reishi can vary from person to person, but many people report feeling more relaxed, calm and centred. Some also report improved sleep quality and a boost in overall mood and well-being.
For best results, it’s recommended to consume Evopure’s Reishi Mushroom Powder in the evening as part of your winding down routine. Simply dissolve the powder in a glass of boiling water, or for a more indulgent hot chocolate feel, mix it with warm milk.
Evopure’s reishi cacao drink is formulated to be consumed daily and is safe within EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) limits for everyday consumption. While it is generally safe, if you experience adverse side effects, its important to discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
The recommended CBD strength varies from person to person based on personal factors like age, weight, metabolism and experience with CBD.
It’s best to start with low strength and gradually increase it. Therefore, if you are new to CBD, we recommend beginning with one pipette of a low strength CBD Oil daily, and increasing the dosage until you feel the desired effect.
