Not all ingredients are created equal
In a world where ingredient quality varies, we set out to craft a product that stands above the rest. Our goal is simple: to bring you the finest, most potent adaptogens sourced from around the globe.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Get to know our ingredients
Ashwagandha
Ayurvedic herb used to promote balance in the body and help it adapt to stressful conditions. Our Ashwagandha (KSM-66) is the most clinically studied ashwagandha on the market. It’s vegan, full-spectrum, and made exclusively from the root (and not the leaf). Active constituents: Withanolides.
Origin: India
Bacopa Monnieri
Powerful adaptogen known for boosting brain performance. Our standardized form of Bacopa has been linked to improved performance in visual processing, learning rate, working memory, information retention, and mental performance. Active constituents: Bacopa Glycosides.
Origin: India
Cacao
Our organic cacao is sourced from farmers who carefully farm, ferment, and craft it with the same care as a winemaker. Cacao is high in theobromine, which naturally lowers blood pressure, and PQQ, which promotes the growth of new mitochondria and supports energy, memory, focus, and brain health.
Origin: Peru
Cordyceps
Cordyceps is a mushroom known for its energy and endurance boosting properties. Its compounds serve as precursors to ATP, the energy storing molecule. We use a 8:1 dual extract made from 100% fruiting bodies (no mycelium). Active constituents: Beta-glucans (1>3),(1>6) >20%; Cordycepin >0.3%
Origin: China
Curcuma
Curcuma is an extract from turmeric root, and it's what gives your Mujo latte foam its slightly yellow hue. Standard curcumin is poorly bioavailable, but ours ensures >200x greater bioavailability. Mujo curcuma supports the movement of ‘free’ curcumin from the bloodstream to target tissues like the brain. Active constituents: curcuminoids.
Origin: India
Lion's Mane
Lion's Mane is known as the "smart" mushroom and is coveted for its cognitive-enhancing benefits. It supports neuroplasticity and optimizes Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which is responsible for neuron growth and repair. Our Lion's Mane is a 8:1 dual extract made from 100% fruiting bodies. Active constituents: Beta-glucans (1-3),(1-6) >15%, terpenes.
Origin: China
Maca
Maca is a root from the Peruvian Andes with a faint nutty and butterscotch flavor. Raw maca root can be difficult to digest for some people due to its high starch content (70% carbohydrate, half of which is starch). We use yellow maca, which is gelatinized (boiled and pressurized) to remove the starch content, making it easier to digest.
Origin: Peru
Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodiola Rosea helps combat the effects of physical and mental stressors and is one of the most powerful adaptogens in the world. The source of this root is very important both for sustainability reasons (prevent over-harvesting) and time of harvest (ensures maximum active constituents). Mujo's Rhodiola is a full-spectrum extract and very rich in rosavins and salidrosides.
Origin: Russia (Altai Mountains)
Spices
Ceylon Cinnamon, Cardamom, All Spice, and Ginger are warm and delicious spices that add flavor and warmth to our blend. We use Ceylon Cinnamon, which is considered the only real cinnamon. All of our spices are organic. We do not use any artificial or "natural" flavors, and instead rely on these natural spices to provide an actually natural and transparent product.
Origin: Sri Lanka
MCT Oil
MCT Oil is derived from organic coconut oil and is known as a fast fuel for the body and brain. It is composed of 70% C8 (Caprylic Acid) and 30% C10 Medium Chain Triglycerides. C8 fatty acid is the most metabolically active medium-chain fatty acid. This means it can be quickly converted by the body into energy.
Origin: USA
ADAPTOGENS
Supporting stress reponse naturally
An herb is adaptogenic if it meets three criteria: First, it’s nontoxic, meaning it’s safe for everyone. Second, its benefits are nonspecific, meaning it improves the entire body’s resistance to stress, not just one particular system or organ. Third, it balances bodily functions, regardless of where the disruption may originate. Adaptogens work at a molecular level by regulating a stable balance in the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal glands. These are involved in the stress response. They work by “hacking” the stress response and bringing cortisol production back to balance.
FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOMS
Fruiting body vs. mycelium
When purchasing functional mushroom products, it's important to distinguish between products made from the actual mushroom (fruiting body) and mycelium (the root system). All parts of the mushroom are pretty special, but fruiting bodies contain the coveted beta-glucans that have the studied effects. Mycelium is often lab grown on substrates, and the end product often contains fillers and starches. At Mujo, we use highly concentrated, dual extracts of the fruiting bodies to deliver optimal benefits.
