Focus and Elevate

Pleasantly surprised and have recommended Sixways to two friends already. This has a gorgeous flavour and is easy to add into smoothies or drinks. I am cutting down coffee intake and I do feel sharper and have more energy as a result of taking the Focus. definitely will order again

This Elevate powder aims to boost energy and mental performance. The powder is easy to take by mixing it into smoothies or sprinkling over the breakfast bowl. The flavour is sweet and I enjoy taking it. My usual breakfast is a granola bowl with yoghurt and I usually take this powder with it. To be completely honest, I do not feel a massive energy boost while taking this powder. I feel a bit more energised during the first part of the day but this is not a general increase in energy levels that last all day. I also do not feel much difference in mental performance and ability to focus. Maybe I need to take this powder for a longer time to feel the difference but right now I give it 4 stars because I was expecting a more significant effect.

The contents of this packet are generally considered to be very good for you. I used to supplement with lion's mane and maca root back in my final year of uni. I can't personally speak to their efficacy, but I like to tell myself they make a difference. The flavour is actually better than I thought it would be, but it's too sweet for my taste. I would rather it was unflavoured and then I could take it/flavour it as I see fit. Unfortunately, this very small packet doesn't contain very much. As you can see from the photo, it's largely empty when you first open it. I had to ask my wife to reach in and get the scoop, because my hand was too big to fit in the opening and I couldn't quite reach it. They instruct you to take a very small amount and even then there are only 30 servings. At the time of this review they are selling it for £30.59, reduced from £37, which I personally think is too expensive for 30 servings of any supplement. 3 stars

I'm really enjoying this new blend from Sixways at the moment. The flavour is nice - not too overpowering, but tasty at the same time! Really does help me avoid coffee and I feel much better for it. I work from home and I don't know if it's a placebo, but I've found I have really good concentration after this drink and it's easier for me to "Deep Focus". Give it a go if you're on the fence, as it's now a staple of mine!

The sleepy hot chocolate firstly doesn't taste like hot chocolate, it has a mild cocoa powder flavour and just tastes like gross herbs. More importantly though, it drastically slowed my breathing and lowered my heart rate to 55bpm (it has never been that low before ever) and probably my blood pressure too, I felt like I was going to faint, and had to quickly take steps to increase my heart rate and blood pressure. I have a naturally low blood pressure but never experienced a sudden drop like this while just resting before, and I know it must be none other than this product which I had taken shortly prior. I then googled and found out that ASHWAGANDHA ROOT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE WITH LOW BLOOD PRESSURE as it is known to lower blood pressure. The dosage is on the slightly high side at 400mg, with the generally recommended dosage being 250-500mg. It's also not generally recommended for daily use, contrary to what they are saying here... Not saying this would be dangerous for everyone of course, but wanted to throw out that warning. On the other hand, the 'focus' mango one's "mango" flavour tastes really artificial and gross, and it did nothing to wake me up. Supposed to be a natural replacement for caffeine but it had zero effect on me. I don't even drink coffee, I drink green tea, and this doesn't come close. More importantly though, the taste is bad, it's meant to be "natural mango flavour" but ingredients show there's ZERO mango in it -- I love mangoes but this tastes soo artificial, honestly they would've been much better off using Orange flavour like the classic vitamin C effervescent drinks. Would not recommend at all unless you like artificial mango flavour

Thanks to the Lion's Mane this gives me a brain boost in the mornings when I'm suffering from sleep inertia and having difficulty focusing. I'm not normally fan of mango flavoured products but this is pleasant enough that it's palatable. It is sweetened with xylitol which is poisonous for dogs, so I do have to be careful about when and where I drink this so there's no chance my dog will be tempted by it. It's currently priced rather high, even with a discount and is outside of my price range so it's not something I could buy again I'm afraid.

Struggle in the morning post coffee as to what to drink without overdoing it on the caffeine front, the focus powder is a great alternative. Noticeable boost in energy without feeling over stimulated.

It has Stevia and Xylitol, don't know why it has both, but it was pleasant just too sweet for my tastes, I prefer more sour than sweet. It did taste like Mango, it also did some things for me, however not an amazing leap to notice a huge difference. It gave me the feeling of having a little more energy, even felt like it's helping my libido a bit. That would probably be the Maca root which if you research it can also enhance libido for men, but while a 2008 study showed it decreased it for postmenopausal women. Research is typically facts, but they are always ongoing and always changing little every year or so. As a guy I know this does work for men, but it wasn't a huge leap compared to having black maca powder. I can see why it gave me a little energy, its filled with vitamins that enhance every aspect of energy B-vitamins, and even the mind which is Ginkgo Biloba, always helps me with memory. Lion's mane may protect against, dementia, reduce mild symptoms of anxiety, and depression, and help repair nerve damage. I took some stars off, because It's not potent enough (underdosed), and doesn't mix well with cold water. When I compare it to a gym pre-workouts, I get far more energy with most gym powders, though this product is typically healthier than gym products. It is still decent product though just not for that massive 37 quid price tag. If the price drops to maybe 15 quid, I would give this a 4 star with good value for money.
