3g mushroom extracts per serving
80mg natural caffeine for smooth energy
No mycelium, fillers or artificial nonsense

Effects

One Cacao. Seven reasons your body loves it.

Stress & Cortisol

Chronic stress can keep cortisol levels elevated over time — often showing up as restlessness, cravings, or constant fatigue.

Ashwagandha is one of the most well-known adaptogens traditionally used to support the body during stressful periods.

What to expect

Good things take time. Here's the honest timeline.

DAYS 1–7

The ritual takes hold

No fireworks in week one - by design. Functional mushrooms aren't caffeine. What you'll notice first: a rich, chocolatey cup you actually look forward to, steady energy without the spike-and-crash, and no jitters. Behind the scenes, the bioactive compounds are starting to build up in your system.

WEEKS 2–8

First real shifts

This is where most people feel it: fewer afternoon crashes, clearer focus during deep work, feeling more settled on stressful days - and for many, falling asleep a little easier. Your system is finding its rhythm.

WEEK 8+

The new baseline

With daily consistency, the effects compound: more resilience under pressure, steadier energy through the day, and a ritual you wouldn't trade for your third coffee. This is why we recommend giving it a full 90 days.

Super leckeres Pilz-Kakao-Getränk! Ersätzt ab jetzt meinen Nachmittags-Kaffee im Büro und ich muss sagen, dass das bisher gewohnte Mittagstief ausbleibt. Ich fühle mit fit und fokussiert und habe durch den leckeren Kakao gar kein Bedürfnis mehr nach einem süßen Snack nach dem Mittagessen.

Tastes like a fancy hot chocolate but with benefits. I mix mine with almond milk — perfect balance between earthy and smooth.

I'm working in a cafe and I'm keeping it there, so I can drink it at work and share it with coworkers. We all like the taste and sometimes even mix it up with coffee

Instead of my second coffee, I now make a PĀOUP. No crash, no anxiety, just focus and calm.

Customer photo review of PĀOUP Cacao

I’ve been having Paoup every morning for the past few weeks and honestly, I didn’t expect to like it this much! I’m a really big coffee lover, but this drink has kind of taken over my morning routine. It’s rich and chocolatey, not too sweet and it gives me this calm, focused start to the day. I somehow just feel more steady and clear-minded and it’s become something I genuinely look forward to every morning. Love it! ☕️

It’s hard to describe — I feel awake but not wired, focused but not tense. It’s like a soft start to the day instead of a punch in the face like coffee 😅

I was longer considering to get off those coffees in the morning, but still I enjoyed the routine. With this one I really feel, that my stomach isn’t that confused in the morning, as with coffee and I still can enjoy a warm drink in the morning, which gives me the proper boost. I recommend rice milk, which is not to sweet 🔋

Bin eig kein großer Kaffeetrinker, wollte aber trotzdem etwas haben, das mir morgens oder nachmittags einen kleinen Schub gibt. Mit diesem Drink hab ich endlich was Passendes gefunden: schmeckt mild, leicht schokoladig und gibt Energie, ohne dass man nervös wird oder später total abfällt. Abends konnte ich dann ganz normal schlafen, was für mich der größte Pluspunkt war.

FAQ

Any questions left?

Are these magic mushrooms?

Nooo, they’re not! They are 100% within international regulations and are classified as functional mushrooms.

They're known for their health benefits, which differ depending on the mushroom.
We use 3 different functional mushrooms: Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Chaga.

Together they help boosting cognitive performance, mental clarity, general well-being and support your immune system.

How to prepare?

Mix 1 scoop (8g) with 200 ml hot water or warm milk and stir until smooth. Add more milk or water to taste.
If you want to enjoy it cold, just use 30ml hot water or milk for better stirring, and then top it up with cold milk.

Are the ingredients safe?

YES! Our ingredients are 100% safe - without exception!

PĀOUP was developed with nutritional experts and testing labs to make sure that it’s not only safe, but also potent and effective.

And all that with a damn good taste!

How does it work?

Functional mushrooms and adaptogens are without a doubt nature's best and most powerful ingredients.

PĀOUP combines 3 different mushroom extracts with other adaptogens which also have positive effects on the body and mind.
The ingredients aren’t even new - they have been used for thousands of years in Asia and South America already, but are just not really known in Europe.

How long until I feel the benefits?

That actually depends on the person. Each person may experience the benefits differently but as usual - consistency is key.

It’s not a pill on steroids but natural ingredients. Although there are no limitations, we always recommend drinking a cup or two a day for at least a couple of weeks to see how you get on.

While Lions Mane and Cordyceps might show effects after the first cup or first couple of days, Chaga might take a bit longer.

When's the best time to drink it?

Well, there are no set rules around when to drink PĀOUP. But it contains caffeine and we mixed the ingredients in the right amounts to give you a nice, natural energy boost, so it is often better suited in the morning.

There are other mushrooms like Reishi that work super good in the evening to promote a restful sleep - and guess what's already in the pipeline? 👀
