Each bite of Brainstorm is formulated to boost long-term cognitive function while also delivering an immediate boost to focus and energy levels.

The long term benefits come from our functional mushrooms. Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps are felt over time — not instantly. When incorporated into a daily routine, the mushrooms’ nutrients compound in your body and become more effective with daily use.

But we also know that nothing beats instant gratification. That’s why we’ve added a blend of active nootropics and herbal supplements  to our formula. Guarana is a caffeinated Brazilian berry that provides a smooth flow of energy, and Phosphatidylserine is a fatty acid that improves alertness, reaction time, thinking speed, and focus throughout the day. Each square contains 66 mg of natural caffeine which is equivalent to ⅔ cup of coffee.

Fun facts: 

• The compounds in Lion’s Mane are so molecularly light that they can cross the blood-brain barrier to directly stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), improve memory, cognition, neuroplasticity and overall brain health.
• Cordyceps boosts blood oxygen levels and is rich in adenosine – an endurance-enhancing compound that optimizes energy levels and mental stamina for improved learning, memory, and central nervous system functions.

You will feel a boost in focus, energy and cognitive function immediately (15-45 minutes after eating a square), and the most noticeable impacts after 3+ weeks of consistent daily use. 

For two simple reasons: taste and efficacy. 

We have a simple motto at alice: indulge, don’t endure.  We hated spending so much money on functional mushrooms in forms that didn’t taste good and were an effort to consume — and without consistent daily use, we didn’t feel their effects either. So we set out to create a wellness routine that was actually joyful, not one we felt like we had to force down. Every bite of alice is delicious which makes it a treat to eat every day. Say goodbye to unappetizing tinctures and powders sitting half-used on your counter and say hello to a decadent daily bite of chocolate with long term benefits you can feel. 

Taking a supplement in food form also works better…about 10 times better. Our bodies were designed to absorb nutrients from food, not pills. During the process of eating, your saliva and digestive system breaks down the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to put them to work – which doesn’t happen with a pill. In food form, nutrients are up to 10 times more bioavailable than they are from pills which means that, with alice, you are getting a potent, readily digestible supplement that your body can actually absorb. 

If any of the following apply, then brainstorm is right for you —

• If you want to experience better focus during your day.
• If you experience a mid-afternoon slump of energy. 
• If you feel jittery after a coffee or can’t tolerate the caffeine found in coffee or energy drinks. 
• If you’re looking for an alternative to your first (or second or third) cup of coffee. 
• If you tend to procrastinate on your to-do list. 
• If you have a busy life and would benefit from extra energy.
• If you want to invest in long term health benefits for your brain.
• If you love chocolate.

Never. Brainstorm contains functional mushrooms like Lions Mane and Cordyceps. Functional mushrooms are fully legal everywhere in the world, and are an entirely different category of mushrooms to those that can create a psychedelic experience. So no matter how much alice chocolate you consume, you won’t trip or risk failing a drug test (but you will likely feel sharp, alert, and energized!). 

Yes! We take a lot of pride in our sourcing and the quality of every ingredient we put in our chocolates. All alice chocolates are made with organic ingredients, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and made in the USA.

There's no minimum age requirement for consuming alice products, but they were designed for adults and have not been extensively tested with children or teenagers. We’re unaware of any ingredients in our chocolates that could negatively impact a young person. That being said, if you are concerned about a child taking alice, we always recommend talking to a pediatrician first!

We don’t have access to conclusive studies performed with people who may have contraindications, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who have certain chronic health conditions, to be able to make any claims about the safety of functional mushrooms in those circumstances. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your health and wellness routine if you have chronic health issues or if you are pregnant.
