So today, what do we got?

John:
So we're excited about this when we got this in as a sample a few weeks back. Had everybody in the office try them. Pretty much everybody loved these things. Not only do they taste great, but incredibly effective. And we know the health benefits of a lot of the things in these. So this is Odyssey, is the drink company. They come in, what, we got two or three different coffee varieties, I believe, in Energy, and Focus which we're going to be trying today. They have some tea varieties.

Brad:
Like a chai tea. Yeah.

John:
And then the one that I was really curious to try, there's a kind of an energy drink sparkler. I think a Passion Fruit something.

Brad:
Yeah. It's Passion Fruit, something like that. It's basically a sparkling water with flavor. But the thing that sets these all apart is that they all have mushrooms in them, which is pretty different. They're called Mushroom Elixirs.

John:
Yeah, this one has lion's mane, cordyceps, and then cocoa. So it's kind of a French roast, chocolate latte thing. And I think I've tried this way back when we first got them. It was very good. But excited to give this another try. We got 140 calories, so not too heavy in the macros, three and a half grams of fat, two grams of protein, 14 grams of sugar. A little bit higher there. And yeah, we got the lion's mane, and the cordyceps. Lion's mane is great for...

Brad:
Brain function.

John:
Brain function, cognitive abilities. And I think there's some research that says it might come kind of regenerate or make healthier the connections.

Brad:
Yeah. That's exactly what it does. It increases the neurotropic growth factor in your brain, which is something that increases the connections between all your neurons.

John:
And cordyceps is... Is it an antiviral or...

Brad:
I don't know about an antiviral. I know that they use it a lot for endurance athletes. It's kind of a performance enhancer.

John:
Oh, I think that is part of that S. Is it the S Seven Blend?

Brad:
Yeah. I think so. Yeah. And then as far as how much you get, you get a gram of lion's mane and it's an 8:1 concentration. You get 250 milligrams of cordyceps, which is a 10:1 concentration. In each can is 85 milligrams of caffeine. And I'll be honest. I have been crushing these. I literally just bought a case today, because there's no point in buying a can every day if I'm just going to go ahead and drink at least 12 or more in probably a week.

John:
If you're a fan of oat milk lattes or things like that, you'll absolutely love this.

Brad:
Yeah. So this is the French roast oat latte.

John:
And I know you said you can really feel the cognitive boost of this.

Brad:
So I said it feels close to a prescription focus type aid. Someone else tried it. And they said they didn't feel that, but they took a fat burner and they don't feel anything. They don't feel anything from any of these things, so don't trust that. But one can of this gives me incredible focus. I'm blown away by 85 milligrams of caffeine feeling like that, but it's got to be because of all of the mushroom aspects.

John:
I buy a lot of those cans store bought coffees, whether it's at Columbian or Starbucks. I mean, I would say this is probably better than most of those. Really thick...

Brad:
Yeah. It's amazing.

John:
Great taste. I know some people don't like the taste of mushrooms, but you really don't get any of that mushroom flavor.

Brad:
Not at all.

John:
None of that really earthiness. It just tastes like a good coffee.

Brad:
Mm-hmm (affirmative). And it's all organic. It's organic oat base of filtered water, oat syrup, salads, tocopherols. And everything in here's organic. So like I say it every time: organic cane sugar, coffee extracts, sunflower oil, cocoa powder, gum acacia, Himalayan pink salt, lion's mane, cordyceps, and organic caffeine. There's no preservatives. It's non GMO. It's vegan. What's the U mean?

John:
Oh, it sounded like U certified. It's basically a safety certification.

Brad:
Okay. See, it's amazing. You genuinely don't taste mushroom at all.

John:
I know a lot of people are old school and just like black coffee as a pre-workout. I mean, this could be a solid pre-workout. You get the focus, you get some of that endurance boosters with the cordyceps. how much caffeine is in one of these?

Brad:
85.

John:
85 milligrams of caffeine.

Brad:
Because I don't like taking any stimulant pre-workout when we leave here, because it's five, six by the time I'm leaving. So if you take 200 milligrams of caffeine, you're going to be up. But 85 milligrams of caffeine, it's not going to keep you up for a crazy amount of time. It's going to give you a little boost, a little bit of focus. Then you take a scoop of some non-STEM stuff. That's what I've been doing. And it's been amazing. I love it.

John:
Yeah. This could be an alternative to your morning coffee. A little I'm sluggish in the afternoon, Pick me up, or an after-work drink to, like you said, give you that little boost down on days when you're kind of worn down.

Brad:
Yeah. So again, it's Odyssey Mushroom Elixirs. Really, really, really good. I'm a huge fan. This is my favorite product that we brought in a long time honestly. We've got four flavors of it. We might be getting more, depending on how they move. We just got them in this week. So if you want to grab a case, by all means, go for it. If you are in the Chicagoland area, definitely stop into any of the Capitol Nutrition & Supplements warehouse stores. We have them in all of them. Try one of them out. You will see what I'm talking about. I think they're amazing. I think everyone's going to like them a lot.

John:
And another thing too, the shipping's not cheap on the RTDs. So if you're in the area, we do have the buy online, pickup in store. You can place your order online, and just swing right by the store, grab a case.

Brad:
And that being said, these are 7.4 fluid ounces. So times 12. Well, that's less than a half pounds. So you're talking less than six pounds for the case.

John:
It's not going to be a bang.

Brad:
No. So you can get these shipped fairly, fairly cheap. It's not going to really break the bank at all. Yeah. And if you order... Yeah. Nevermind. So yeah. Check these out. I stand by them a lot. I think they're amazing. Yeah. I think that's about it.

John:
Yeah, absolutely. Highly recommend them.

Brad:
All right. Thanks guys.

John:
Later guys.
