Here at UpCup Koffee, we decided on a few “must-haves” early on. The biggest was that our functional mushroom coffee had to taste like coffee. It took single-origin, 100% Colombian Arabica beans, a coffee expert, and a team of chemists to achieve this.

Be prepared to spread the word, “UpCup Koffee has the Brew!”

UpCup Koffee is that cup of functional mushroom—plus some other cool things found below—coffee that is smooth, rich, and free of the unusual taste.

We think not. Whoever heard of such a thing, right? Like most of you, we just assumed a mushroom was a mushroom. It grows in the dirt, behind a tree or something. Oh, how wrong we were.

For one, our mushrooms have heads full of cascading, long, white tentacles.

And it grows in the tree!

Talk about a cool mushroom. It even has a cool name—Lion’s Mane. And talk about staying relevant; it’s more than 1,000 years old. And still kickin’ other mushroom's butt. It has protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals.

The medicinal benefits, you ask?

Let us tell you: Lion’s Mane stimulates the immune system and increases its response to infection. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Lion’s Mane is said to help with cholesterol, blood pressure, support gut health, mood support, sleep quality, athletic performance, and helps to heal wounds. Some tests say it may have anti-cancer properties, anti-aging elements, and neuroregeneration.  

The punch that decides it for us: Lion’s Mane contains bioactive compounds that researchers study for their potential cognitive-boosting, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects.

In other words, potential brain-boosting benefits…without the swelling.

Here at UpCup Koffee, we don’t mess around. We use the premium parts of the Lion’s Mane mushroom, the healthiest, most potent parts—the fruiting body and the mycelium. You wouldn’t settle for a cheap cut of steak, so why settle for a cheap mushroom?

Can’t be many, right? So we thought. Here are just a few: the wheel, paper, ink, wine, beer, opium, willow bark, turmeric, ginger, garlic, onion, soap, glass, cotton, salt, honey, donkeys, camels, Astrology and Yoga. Yoga? We thought that came with the 80s.

How about Shilajit?

Shilajit dates back more than 4,000 years and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine—Ayurvedic is derived from two Sanskrit words: “Ayur” meaning “life” and “Veda” meaning “science”—which originated in India more than 3,000 years ago.

Shilajit is the ultimate bio-hack for those seeking an edge in life.

The health benefits are out of this world. Shilajit is packed with fulvic acid and over 84 minerals, offering a wide range of health benefits, including enhanced physical strength and endurance, cognitive function, and memory, supports the immune system, reduces stress and anxiety, and promotes overall well-being.

In some countries, Shilajit is used to treat male fertility and libido support.

Shilajit is like an ancient superhero for your body!

Here at UpCup Koffee, we decided to include an ancient superhero in our mushroom coffee. Adding Shilajit to our blend has been the ultimate adaptogenic game changer.

How long before you notice the benefit?

Is almost immediately too fast for you? Typically, people begin to notice the enhanced energy and mental clarity in weeks 1-2. Stick around for 8-12 weeks, get it all, then send us your review.

Very carefully, that’s how. You just can’t go cursing out the universe. That being said, we made a great cup of mushroom coffee, and we wanted to stick around for as long as we could to enjoy it. We went to see the chemists. Their heads were about to explode. “Lion’s Mane, then Shilajit, and now you want to add something else and make it taste amazing?”

Exactly.

We were asked to leave the building.

We called back from the parking lot and asked them to add some NAD+.

Talk about science.

I will first give you information about NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). It is a molecule that plays a central role in various cellular processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, (REJUVENAD, 2023), and cellular signaling. It's a vital coenzyme that helps facilitate many biological reactions.

NAD+ is composed of two nucleotides, adenosine, and nicotinamide, which are linked through a phosphodiester bond. This molecule is a key player in various cellular processes, including:

1. Energy metabolism: NAD+ is involved in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, helping generate energy for cells.

2. DNA repair: NAD+ is required for the activity of enzymes that repair damaged DNA, such as PARP1 and SIRT1.

3. Cellular signaling: NAD+ acts as a signaling molecule, regulating various cellular processes, including circadian rhythms and immune responses.

4. Sirtuin activation: NAD+ is a cofactor for sirtuins, a family of proteins that regulate cellular stress resistance, metabolism, and longevity.

NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which can lead to decreased cellular function and increased susceptibility to age-related diseases. Supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) aim to boost NAD+ levels, potentially promoting healthy aging and cellular vitality.

It seems like a no-brainer.

In other words, NAD+ is the molecular magic that makes life happen…if you're looking for energy, longevity, DNA repair, exercise performance, caloric restriction, stem cell regeneration, aging biomarker, sleep repair, the possibility of protecting you from diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
