I\u2019m instantly impressed by the brand and excited to see more as soon as I click on the site.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s the perfect amount of information about the Mud formula and the ingredients within it, as well as information about the company\u2019s ethos, and a variety of important FAQs, which are answered. <\/p>\n<p>Looking at the Mud formula, I\u2019m intrigued. The packaging looks incredibly sleek and forward-thinking, if not a little \u2018hippy\u2019, and I\u2019m definitely keen to take a closer look at the formula to see if it really is as good as it seems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pb small\">\n<p class=\"compared\">Other superfood powders I have reviewed you may be interested in:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"compared\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/invigor8-superfood-shake-review\/\" title=\"INVIGOR8 Superfood Shake Review\">INVIGOR8 Superfood Shake Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/healthy-delights-greens-with-probiotics-review\/\" title=\"Healthy Delights Greens with Probiotics Review\">Healthy Delights Greens with Probiotics Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/isotonix-complete-greens-review\/\" title=\"Isotonix Complete Greens Review\">Isotonix Complete Greens Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Background on MUD\\WTR<\/h2>\n<p>MUD\\WTR was founded in Venice, California in 2018 by Shane Heath. Heath was on a personal search for a coffee alternative that boosted his health rather than increased his alertness temporarily but then caused anxiety, jitters and was ultimately detrimental to his health. <\/p>\n<p>However, whilst on his personal search for a powerful coffee alternative, Heath realized how many people were also on the search for a healthy coffee alternative, and hence MUD\\WTR was created.<\/p>\n<p>Since being founded in 2018, the company has investors such as Nick Green from Thrive Market and Brandon Shainfeld from Unilever Ventures. The company has also been commended for having such a good company culture!<\/p>\n<div class=\"bb\">\n<h2>MUD\\WTR Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Although MUD\\WTR was created as an alternative to coffee, it provides the consumer with much more than just 1\/7th of the caffeine in a coffee. <\/p>\n<p>The brand claims that the formula will support memory and focus, boost the immune system, push toxins from the body, reduce inflammation, and provide the body with essential micronutrients needed for an optimal state of wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the brand links specific ingredients with the claimed health benefits, which is a nice touch! For example, \u201cLion\u2019s Mane added to support memory and focus\u201d.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>MUD\\WTR Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>MUD\\WTR contains 14 ingredients, most of which exist in proprietary blends. In addition, the brand hasn\u2019t provided any information about the amounts of the ingredients, not even the total amount of each proprietary blend!<\/p>\n<p>Therefore figuring out the efficacy of the formula is very difficult, if not impossible, to do.<\/p>\n<p>However, I\u2019ll be taking a closer look at the efficacy of this formula later on in this review. <\/p>\n<div class=\"gb\">Here is the complete list of the MUD\\WTR ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Organic Mushroom Blend &#8211; <\/strong>Chaga, Reishi, Lion\u2019s Mane, Cordyceps Mycelial Biomass Cultured On Organic Oats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Organic Cacao<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Organic Spice Blend &#8211; <\/strong>Organic Cinnamon, Organic Turmeric, Organic Ginger, Organic Cardamom, Organic Black Pepper, Organic Nutmeg, Organic Cloves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Organic Black Tea Powder<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Himalayan Pink Salt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here is the supplement facts label:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/134157A2-61A1-4DA0-A531-87DA3DE27BFB_4_5005_c.jpeg\" alt=\"mud-wtr-ingredients\" width=\"334\" height=\"516\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/134157A2-61A1-4DA0-A531-87DA3DE27BFB_4_5005_c.jpeg 334w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/134157A2-61A1-4DA0-A531-87DA3DE27BFB_4_5005_c-194x300.jpeg 194w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/134157A2-61A1-4DA0-A531-87DA3DE27BFB_4_5005_c-13x20.jpeg 13w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How does MUD\\WTR Taste?<\/h2>\n<p>The Mud formula doesn\u2019t contain any flavoring ingredients due to the fact that the ingredients that make up the formula provide more than enough flavor! <\/p>\n<div class=\"standout-box\">&#8230;formula doesn\u2019t really taste like coffee&#8230;. <strong>it\u2019s an alternative to coffee, not a copy!<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>In particular, the flavor of cacao and chai in the formula really comes through, making the formula taste slightly chocolatey and aromatic.<\/p>\n<p>The formula doesn\u2019t really taste like coffee, but that\u2019s not the point of the formula &#8211; it\u2019s an alternative to coffee, not a copy!<\/p>\n<p>Overall, reviews concerning the taste of the formula are very positive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/best-tasting-greens-powders\/\">My favorite tasting superfood powders<\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>Side Effects<\/h2>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any side effects associated with this formula. However, the brand does recommend women who are pregnant and breastfeeding check with a medical professional before consuming.<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to add that if you\u2019re under 18, on medication, or you have a medical condition, you should consult a doctor before consuming this (and any) new supplement.<\/p>\n<h2>Does MUD\\WTR Work?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s really difficult to figure out whether the Mud formula will be effective due to the fact that the formula contains ingredients that don\u2019t have standard recommended doses.<\/p>\n<p>The only kind of recommendations surrounding the ingredients within this formula are recommendations stating how much shouldn\u2019t be taken. <\/p>\n<p>For example, there are some standard recommendations about the maximum amount of mushrooms to take daily to ensure no overdose occurs. <\/p>\n<div class=\"standout-box\">Overall, it\u2019s unclear whether the formula will provide benefits since there <strong>aren\u2019t any standard recommended doses linked with the ingredients.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>However, all of the ingredients within this formula sit well below these \u2018maximum amount\u2019 doses and are therefore safe.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it\u2019s unclear whether the formula will provide benefits since there aren\u2019t any standard recommended doses linked with the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, it is disappointing that the formula contains blends and doesn\u2019t have a fully disclosed label &#8211; it\u2019s always useful to know how much of each ingredient you\u2019re consuming in a formula.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/reishi-mushrooms-white-bg.jpg\" alt=\"Reishi mushrooms\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/reishi-mushrooms-white-bg.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/reishi-mushrooms-white-bg-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/reishi-mushrooms-white-bg-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lifehackerguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/reishi-mushrooms-white-bg-20x12.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"yb\"><strong>Info:<\/strong> Check out my article on <a href=\"\/what-is-mushroom-coffee\/\">what is Mushroom coffee<\/a>, and also the <a href=\"\/benefits-of-mushrooms\/\">health benefits of mushrooms<\/a> to discover why you shouldn't ignore them.<\/div>\n<h2>MUD Water Reviews<\/h2>\n<p>MUD\\WTR products aren\u2019t available on Amazon, and therefore we can\u2019t take a look at customer reviews on there like we usually do! However, the MUD\\WTR website does have customer reviews &#8211; <strong>over 3,500 just for the 30-serving Mud formula in fact!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>These reviews seem to be unbiased, with a selection of positive and negative reviews on the site. <\/p>\n<p>Although, the positive reviews definitely come out on top, and overall the product scores 5 stars out of 5 stars (according to the brand though, remember that!).<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, let\u2019s take a look at a selection of these reviews. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>I have a cup every morning and I feel no regret about leaving coffee behind&#8230; 2 months ago. I not only feel good drinking it but I feel good about my choice. Company culture is pretty impressive too.<cite> 5-star reviewer<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>I like this product for what it is, and I agree that it's a good coffee alternative if you're in the coffee game exclusively for the caffeine. That said, taste-wise, MUDWTR, and coffee each have their time & place. MUDWTR is this cool chai-cocoa hybrid, with all that warm spice & earthy sweetness. Coffee, on the other hand, gives me those smoky, bitter notes. If you're only drinking coffee for the energy, then yeah, MUDWTR's got you covered. But if you actually enjoy the taste of coffee, keep your favorite roast handy and enjoy MUDWTR as its own thing.<cite> 4-star reviewer<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\"><p>The powder doesn\u2019t blend well with water, it settles at the bottom of the glass pretty quickly. I enjoy the product, it\u2019s got a great earthy taste and has been helpful in breaking my coffee addiction. However, I do have to stir the drink before every sip basically.<cite> 3-star reviewer<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Money-Back Guarantee \/ Returns Policy<\/h2>\n<p>MUD\\WTR doesn\u2019t offer a money-back guarantee and does not accept any refunds for opened or used products. However, the brand does accept returns of unopened products for a refund within 30 days of purchase. <\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy MUD\\WTR?<\/h2>\n<p>You can buy Mud from the <a href=\"https:\/\/mudwtr.com\/collections\/shop\">MUD\\WTR website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Is It Worth The Price?<\/h2>\n<p>The Mud formula is sold in 30 either a 30-serving tin or a 90-serving pouch. <\/p>\n<p>You can also buy the Mud Starter Kit that contains a 30-serving tin, a USB chargeable frother, a guidebook, a sample of the brand\u2019s creamer, and stickers. <\/p>\n<p>You can also either sign up for a subscription or buy the products as a one-time purchase. <\/p>\n<p>Obviously, if you sign up for a subscription, the price of the formula reduces.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-serving tin costs $50 on a one-time purchase, making the cost per serving $1.66. On a subscription, this tin costs $40, making the cost per serving $1.33. <\/p>\n<p>The 90-serving pouch costs $125 on a one-time purchase, making the cost per serving $1.38. On a subscription, this pouch costs $100, making the cost per serving $1.11.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it\u2019s obviously much more cost-effective to buy the 90-serving pouch on a subscription if you\u2019re sure that you like the formula! <\/p>\n<p>However, the Mud Starter Kit is also a good choice due to the fact that it only costs $60 on a one-time purchase and contains a wide range of freebies (a USB chargeable frother, a guidebook, a sample of the brand\u2019s creamer, and stickers). <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d say that this formula is fairly priced considering the expensive organic ingredients within the formula. However, of course, I would\u2019ve liked to see a fully disclosed label!<\/p>\n<h2>My Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>I have to admit, I think initially I was a little skeptical about the potency and effectiveness of this formula, and although to some degree I still am, I really can\u2019t argue with thousands of positive customer reviews, a trustworthy and ethical brand, well-priced formulas, and powerful ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>I actually really like the idea of consuming MUD\\WTR daily instead of coffee, and the product seems to really provide people benefits and improve people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n<p>The only downside of this formula is that it contains blends and doesn\u2019t have a fully disclosed ingredients label. <\/p>\n<p>However, since the ingredients don\u2019t have standard recommended doses, it doesn\u2019t actually make that much difference as it\u2019s pretty much impossible to statistically work out the efficacy of the formula. Nonetheless, though, it\u2019s always nice to know how much of each ingredient you\u2019re consuming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall, I think if you\u2019re interested in taking this formula, go for it! <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUD\\WTR is a coffee alternative that contains a potent range of ingredients, including adaptogenic mushrooms, powerful herbs, and spices.
