Can I safely make a ‘cortisol cocktail’ every morning instead of coffee?

Drinks that contain caffeine and adaptogens, like a 'cortisol cocktail,' might help with energy and stress management. However, it’s important to know how these drinks work.

1. Adaptogens and Caffeine: Adaptogens are natural substances that help the body handle stress. Caffeine is known for boosting energy. Reference 1 suggests that a drink combining these might help with energy and stress.

2. Matcha and Caffeine: Reference 2 explores how matcha and caffeine can affect mood and alertness. This can be similar to drinking coffee, but with some differences in how it affects you.

3. Green Tea and Adrenal Health: Reference 3 discusses how green tea can be good for adrenal health, which is important for managing the body's stress response.

Before making any changes to your daily routine, it’s a good idea to talk with a healthcare provider to ensure it’s safe for you, especially if you have any health conditions or take medications.
