Our Energy Booster is brewed with maca, a root traditionally consumed in the highlands of Peru as a nourishing food. Maca has a long history of use for vitality and wellbeing, and researchers have increasingly investigated its potential effects on energy, mood and physical performance.
Not all energy boosts have to come from caffeine, which is sometimes associated with an energy crash after. Between yellow, red and black maca, we chose to use yellow because supported evidence states that its provides the most balanced steady energy while being the most sustainable to source.
Maca works because its rich in essential amino acids, minerals, and a unique compound called macamides - they help you with endurance and fatigue without stimulating your nervous system. Think of maca like upgrading your battery life: same energy, but calmer and longer lasting.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 175 adults, participants who consumed 3 g of maca extract daily for 12 weeks reported improvements in areas including mood, energy and health-related quality of life.
We have carefully infused a research-backed dose of Maca into our kombucha blend to give you a natural pick up, without a crash after. No more reaching for that high sugar energy drink!
