‘After self-diagnosing myself with ADHD, this product helped me focus better’

Looking for a caffeine alternative, our Beauty Editor is a huge fan of Spacegoods' Rainbow Dust - especially for her mental health

Around seven years ago, I actually stopped drinking caffeine as it did nothing for my anxiety - so I’ve always been on the lookout for alternatives that would still give me the same buzz - just without the pending jitters moments later. One brand came up time and time again, when looking different ways to get that morning high, was Spacegoods - the wellness brand that uses mushrooms and adaptogen ingredients instead.

Thanks to TikTok, during lockdown I practically self-diagnosed myself with having some ADHD tendencies - and if you’ve ever spent a prolonged amount of time around me, you might have noticed this too. Now I’m no doctor or scientist, but after sipping my morning cup of Rainbow Dust, which has been designed to ‘unlock your very best self’, I’ve noticed that I’m more focused, energy levels remain consistent, I don’t feel the jitters, ever - in fact, I actually get more done, and not so distracted by everything and anything around me. I won’t lie, there have been times I literally look at the time and nothing has passed, but since drinking Rainbow Dust? Sometimes I miss my usual lunch spot because I’m so hyper-focused on what I’m actually doing.

The only downside? The flavour I currently have is chocolate, and I’m not a sweet fan - though Spacegoods have just released a delicious-sounding ‘vanilla cinnamon’ flavour, which sounds like Christmas in a mug.

What I also love about Rainbow Dust is it’s made with all-natural ingredients - and designed to be part of your new everyday routine. Plus it’s vegan and cruelty-free too - so you can scoop, mix, drink and create a little morning concoction that suits you. Personally? I add a little oat milk and hot water, just like I would with a cup of decaf tea or coffee.

Rainbow Dust has been created for ease of use, and can be mixed with just about anything you like! Best of all? Six out of the nine, active ingredients are adaptogens. Some of the key ingredients you can expect to find are; Lions mane mushroom (the ‘brain’ mushroom), Cordyceps mushroom (the ‘energy’ mushroom), and Chaga mushroom (the ‘immunity’ mushroom’), plus Rhodiola Rosea, Maca Root and Ashwagandha - which has been linked in supporting memory and cognitive function.

Like I said, everyone is different, but compared to that burnt taste of coffee, made by my local barista, I’ve seen some real improvements by drinking this instead - mostly on my mental health. And I’m not alone either, with over 75,000 customers have left 5-star reviews, raving about how ‘amazing’ Rainbow Dust really is - so could this be the morning beverage you’ve been searching for?

Sure, you might be a little sceptical in trying it for yourself, as it costs £39 for 30 servings - and I don’t blame you! Thankfully Spacegoods have given us 20% off, and not just on Rainbow Dust, but all of their other incredible products too. I highly rate the Dream Dust (which helps soothe my mind and body, getting a better night’s sleep). Just enter the code PUBLISH20 and voila - just don’t say we never treat you!

Should you fancy trying other products with similar ingredients, Holland and Barrett stock the brand Dirtea - with two variations of mushroom powders, including Lion's Mane Mushroom Powder, that you can easily add into your next warm beverage. If you need some extra support when it comes to your cognitive functions, Naturya Organic Functional Cognition Blend is perfect for popping in smoothies, porridge or hot milk - plus is comes in a delicious chocolate flavour.
