Hericium erinaceus, Finland A functional mushroom extracted from fruiting bodies, grown in Finland.1
Inonotus obliquus, Finland A birch-growing mushroom rich in polysaccharides, especially beta-glucans.2–3
Peruvian adaptogen A traditional Andean root, used for centuries in Peru.
prebiotic fibre Prebiotic fibre from chicory root — 15 % of the blend.
Cinnamomum verum True Ceylon cinnamon (not cassia) — rounds out the flavour profile.
aroma and minerals Natural vanilla softens the bitterness of cacao; a pinch of grey sea salt balances the flavour and adds trace minerals.
What goes into the blend?
Three ingredient groups in a single serving — theobromine energy, functional mushrooms, and prebiotic fibre.
Theobromine vs caffeine — a difference you'll feel
Like coffee, cacao gives you a lift. But while caffeine brings a sharp spike followed by a rapid drop, theobromine works gently and sustainably — no jitters, no crash.
Chaga — nature's antioxidant elite
Antioxidant capacity is measured in the laboratory by the ORAC score. Chaga ranks among the most potent natural sources — 15× stronger than blueberries and 70× stronger than oranges. Upgraded Organic Cacao delivers 135 mg of its extract in every serving alongside Lion's Mane and Peruvian cacao.2–3,5

The science behind the Upgraded line
I created the Powerlogy Upgraded premium line for the most discerning customers, who demand the highest quality and efficacy. Upgraded products are enhanced with innovative ingredients such as MCT oil, prebiotic fibre, adaptogens and bioactive compounds.
I develop the formulas based on the latest scientific findings. I combine the effects of various ingredients to provide energy and support an active, demanding lifestyle. I consult on the functional benefits with the scientific advisory board that we work closely with at Powerlogy.
I recommend Upgraded products as the solution for people who want a reliable source of energy and nutrition every day.

Frequently asked questions
Both are natural stimulants, but they work differently. Caffeine acts quickly and briefly (peak at 1 hour, crash after 4–5 hours). Theobromine kicks in slowly, peaks at 3–4 hours, and its effects last 6–8 hours — with no jitteriness and no energy crash.
We work with Finnish company Kaapa Health, which grows and harvests mushrooms in a pristine environment above the Arctic Circle. The extract contains 2400 mg of active compounds per 100 g in a 5:3 ratio (Lion's Mane : Chaga).
Yes. It pairs perfectly with C8 MCT oil (energy + better absorption), collagen in a morning shake, or Powerlogy protein in a smoothie. Theobromine does not interfere with the effects of other ingredients.
It depends on individual sensitivity to theobromine. It is milder than caffeine, but in more sensitive individuals it may affect sleep. The ideal time to consume it is in the morning or early afternoon. For the classic "hot chocolate before bed," we recommend using half a serving.
Once opened, consume within 6 months. Store in a dry, dark place — moisture may cause clumping (this is not a defect).
