Two health foodies and coffee lovers develop the first stevia sweetener infused with energizing adaptogen herbs.
SteviaMind™ is the world’s first adaptogen and herbal-infused stevia sweetener. It contains a 100% natural (no fillers, MSG, “natural flavors,” etc.) blend of pure stevia leaf extract, Rhodiola Rosea extract, and yerba mate powder that works synergistic-ally to provide instant and lasting energy and produce an alert mental state all in one scoop.
Megan Patiry and Anthony Thornton developed the blend to be a perfect addition to a morning beverage (especially for those already using stevia) – be it coffee, tea, or even smoothies. The stevia acts as a sweetener while Rhodiola Rosea, known as an “adaptogen” herb, aids the body in adapting to stress, helps balance nervous system response, and has been used throughout history to enhance memory, lengthen attention span, strengthen the nervous system, stabilize mood, improve energy levels, aid in weight loss, and stimulate muscle recovery.
Yerba Mate, in turn, is a plant native to South America where it’s widely used as a tea. Besides carrying an impressive antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral profile – namely B vitamins, vitamin C, quercetin, theobromine, theophylline, manganese, potassium, and zinc – it is most revered for its ability to provide its drinkers with a feeling of instant “wakefulness” without the jitters.
Accordingly, stevia is the most natural, sugar-free sweetener on the market. It comes from a plant native to South America that has traditionally been used to sweeten beverages and make tea. Beverages require less stevia than they would sugar, since stevia is 250-300 sweeter than table sugar.
SteviaMind™ also isn’t just an energizing sweetener: it can also be used as a pre-workout. Rhodiola has been shown to boost ATP levels, balance hormone levels(crucial if you have cortisol issues), and increase performance output. Additionally, Yerba mate is known for its sustained energy and performance enhancement properties – no peaks and troughs like many caffeine-based supplements provide. It also contains Theobromine, which improves mood, stimulates the central nervous system (without the jitters), and increases blood flow (improving reaction times and physical performance).
Kickstarter campaigns operate under an “all-or-nothing” funding model so if the SteviaMind™ project doesn’t reach it’s goal at the end of 30 days then it might be years before you’ll see it on the market. To follow their project, be sure to find them on Twitter (@ecoorepublic) and Facebook and spread the word to your social media networks. Consider donating as little as $1 to help their project come to life. If you decide to donate more, you might be among the first in the world to sip on the energizing convenience SteviaMind™ offers.
