Summer Essentials Set

We’re all chasing that feeling of being a little bit smarter, like everything you say is clicking with the other person and you’re present and in the moment. We think of that feeling as magnetism – like you’re attracting the best in yourself and another person. That’s why we included lion’s mane, a functional mushroom long revered for its association with increased cognition, focus and overall brain functioning. We’ve had Little Saints dinner parties where all our guests drink is our St. Ember and St. Juniper —and can conclusively report that people head home feeling happy, elevated, smart and in flow.

Damiana is a wild flowering shrub native to Mexico, Central America, and the American Southwest, long revered for its heart-opening properties. At Little Saints, we use damiana for its natural ability to elevate the spirit and inspire love.

We formulated our cans with the help of both a food scientist with her master’s in adaptogenic herbal medicine and a neuroscientist advisor who weighed in on how certain adaptogens impact our moods and nervous systems. We chose Reishi because it delivers a slight “take-the-edge-off” feeling and has a calming effect on our nervous systems. We also love that Reishi has long been revered as the “longevity mushroom” in Chinese medicine – the original biohacker of the fungi kingdom.

As much as you want — unless your doctor has told you for some reason to limit your consumption of Reishi (in all cans) or damiana (only in Mojito, Espresso Martini and the now-disco’d Spiced Old Fashioned).
