Energy gummies without caffeine.

No. Every Innooova gummy is caffeine free, including StarShroooms and SuperMoss, the two in this collection. Many energy gummies on the market rely on caffeine or guarana, which can bring a peak and a dip later in the day. Ours take a different route, with B vitamins, iodine, Cordyceps and Panax Ginseng. You can take them in the afternoon without thinking about your bedtime, and they are an option if you are trying to cut back on coffee.

Two gummies in this collection suit busy mornings:

• StarShroooms: 12mg of vitamin B5 (200% NRV), which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and 100µg of iodine (67% NRV), which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also contains Cordyceps and full spectrum Panax Ginseng, the classic energy root of Korean tradition.
• SuperMoss: 250mg of sea moss extract (10:1) with vitamin C, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, plus vitamin D3 and iodine.

Most customers start with StarShroooms. Take two in the morning, with breakfast.

Caffeine blocks the chemical signals that make you feel sleepy, so you notice it within an hour and it wears off. Caffeine free gummies rely on nutrients your body uses every day instead. Vitamins B5, B6 and C each contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and iodine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Herbal ingredients such as Panax Ginseng and Cordyceps have been studied for mental fatigue and exercise. These gummies are made for daily use over weeks rather than a jolt after one dose.

Cordyceps has been prized in Himalayan and Tibetan tradition for stamina and vitality for centuries. The best known human trial, published in 2010, gave 20 healthy adults aged 50 to 75 a daily Cordyceps supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks. The Cordyceps group improved on two markers of aerobic capacity, metabolic threshold and ventilatory threshold, and the placebo group did not. That trial used a fermented extract called Cs-4, a different form from the whole mushroom powder in StarShroooms. Read more in our Cordyceps guide.

Panax Ginseng is one of the most researched herbs in the world. In a 2005 crossover trial, 30 healthy young adults took single doses of 200mg or 400mg of a standardised extract called G115, then did repeated ten minute mental tasks. At 200mg, people performed better on a demanding mental arithmetic task and reported less mental fatigue than on placebo. It was a single session using one specific extract, and it did not test StarShroooms, which uses full spectrum root. See the Panax Ginseng guide.

Yes. There is no caffeine in our gummies to add to your daily total, so your usual coffee or tea is fine alongside them. That also makes them a handy swap if you are cutting back: a mid afternoon coffee can keep you awake hours later, while two StarShroooms with lunch add no caffeine at all. A standard 250ml can of energy drink contains around 80mg of caffeine, so check labels if you use those as well. Keep to two of our gummies a day.

Take them in the morning with breakfast. That is when most people want to feel on the ball, and it builds an easy habit. Panax Ginseng is traditionally taken in the morning or early afternoon, and SuperMoss is best with breakfast too. StarShroooms can also be taken 30 to 60 minutes before bed, as it contains Reishi, so choose the slot that suits your day and keep to it. Two gummies is the daily maximum for each product, whichever time you choose.

Give it a month of daily use. Vitamins and minerals are about keeping your intake topped up rather than an instant effect, and the Cordyceps trial ran for 12 weeks. Some customers say they notice a change in the first week or two, but one full 60 gummy pack is a fair test. If you are unsure, start with a 10 gummy trial pack for £4.99 to check the taste. Every order has our 30 day money back promise, so you can ask for a refund if they are not for you.

There is no caffeine or other stimulant in our gummies, so there is no peak to come down from, the way there can be after a strong coffee or an energy drink. Each serving does contain a little sugar, as gummies do, and StarShroooms also uses steviol glycosides for sweetness. A small number of people find ginseng mildly stimulating. If that sounds like you, take StarShroooms in the morning rather than late in the evening and see how you feel over the first few days.

Yes, all Innooova gummies can be taken together. The one thing to watch is iodine: StarShroooms has 100µg per serving and SuperMoss contains iodine too, so check the combined amount, particularly if you have a thyroid condition. If you would rather pair SuperMoss with a skin gummy, the SuperMoss & GlowShroooms Bundle gives you 60 of each for £28.99. SuperMoss and StarShroooms are both vegan and set with fruit pectin, and neither has a fishy or bitter taste.

Check with your GP or pharmacist before taking StarShroooms or SuperMoss if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication or under medical supervision. Both contain iodine, so check first if you have a thyroid condition. Our gummies are made for adults and are not for under 18s. Constant tiredness can have a medical cause, such as low iron or an underactive thyroid, so if you feel wiped out for weeks, see your GP rather than relying on supplements. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet.
