MTE Adaptogens — Energy Without the Crash

Many of us have experienced waking up feeling tired, even after a full night’s sleep. So we grab a coffee. One cup turns into two, maybe three. For a while, we feel sharp again, focused, even motivated. Then the crash hits, and we’re right back where we started.

That kind of energy isn’t real but borrowed. What your body actually needs isn’t another push; it’s support.

MTE (More Than Energy) was created for exactly that reason. The goal was simple: clean, feelable energy that respects the body’s healing systems. No sugar bombs. No caffeine dependency. Just a daily blend you can feel right away that also builds benefits over time. The formula brings together the best of time-tested herbal wisdom and modern ingredients, with a clean label you can actually trust.

As Carrie Drinkwine, regenerative health practitioner and founder of the Institute of Regenerative Health, says:

“Our patients can’t heal if they’re in fight or flight, no matter what we give them. The body has to return to balance for healing to begin.”

Why MTE exists (and how it was built)

Most “energy” products stimulate, then crash. That cycle taxes the adrenals and derails sleep, mood, and focus. MTE was formulated to flip that script: give you steady, usable energy during the day and set you up to sleep at night. It had to be something you could feel in minutes and still feel good about taking daily for months.

The formulation was crafted with deep herbal experience, drawing on Ayurvedic principles and years of real-world formulation work.

It blends adaptogens, nootropics, and superfoods so your energy is steadily supported. Even the mixing instructions reflect the clean label approach: no chemical binders, so you mix it in cold water to protect the structure and effect.

What Adaptogens Actually Do

Adaptogens are nature’s way of helping your body handle stress without burning out.

When you’re under constant pressure, the HPA axis, your body’s stress system, stays switched on, flooding you with cortisol and leaving you tired.

Adaptogens bring that system back into balance. They help your body recognize when to be alert and when to rest, so your energy feels natural again.

They are also known to support brain chemistry by nourishing the neurotransmitters that shape how you think and feel, like serotonin for bringing calm, dopamine for motivation, and acetylcholine for focus.

Many people notice clearer thinking, more even energy, better mood stability, and fewer tired afternoons.

As Carrie explains:

“Unlike caffeine, adaptogens don’t force the body into an energy high. They help it remember how to regulate energy naturally.”

Research-backed benefits include:

• Improved focus and mental stamina
• Reduced physical fatigue
• Support for hormone and adrenal health
• Immune modulation for more resilient defenses
• Better mitochondrial efficiency and ATP production
• Calm, steady energy across the day

What’s Inside MTE’s Energy Blend

MTE combines adaptogens with brain-supportive nootropics and nutrient-dense superfoods. It is third-party tested and made in GMP-certified facilities.

Each scoop includes:

• Paraxanthine (Enfinity®): Clean, quick-onset focus without jitters, heart-rate spikes, or blood-pressure swings. No crash. Supports nitric oxide for better brain blood flow and BDNF for neuroplasticity, and helps reduce mental workload under stress. Many users also see better heart rate variability. The active has a practical half-life of about 3 hours, so you can use it earlier or later in the day without wrecking sleep.
• Ashwagandha: Helps regulate cortisol and supports recovery, mood, and athletic performance.
• Eleuthero: Builds stamina and resilience; its effects compound with consistent use.
• L-Theanine & GABA: Centered, relaxed focus without drowsiness when the nervous system runs hot.
• Saffron (Affron®): A clinical 28 mg per serving to support mood balance and quality sleep, including during times of high stress or hormonal shifts.
• Maca Root & Amaranth: Support steady energy, endurance, and hormone balance.
• Spirulina & Chicory Root Inulin: Micronutrient density plus prebiotic fiber for a healthier gut, which influences mood, focus, and immunity.
• Holy Basil (Tulsi): An adaptogen that supports psychological stress resilience, sleep quality, and metabolic health.

How MTE is different

• Immediate feel + cumulative gains: You feel the clean lift quickly, and the benefits build with daily use as stress pathways and mitochondria normalize.
• Energy by day, sleep by night: The blend was intentionally built so you are productive without the wired edge, then able to wind down.
• Clean label, smart mixing: No chemical binders or junk sweeteners. Mix with cold water to keep the actives intact. It also works beautifully in smoothies or sparkling water, and even as a base for simple mocktails.
• Supports the whole system: Not just “more alert,” but better nitric oxide signaling, stress modulation, neurotransmitter balance, and gut-brain support.

MTE vs. Caffeine: A Clearer Comparison

Adaptogens do not demand energy from the body. They help the system remember how to produce and sustain it.

Who MTE Is For

• Professionals who need a clear, stable focus
• Parents navigating nonstop logistics
• Students seeking mental clarity without overstimulation
• Athletes who want performance and recovery without burnout

What people commonly notice:

• Clearer focus without tension
• Consistent energy through the afternoon
• More stable mood
• Deeper, more restful sleep

Best Way to Use MTE

• How much: One packet per day suits most adults.
• When: Morning or early-to-mid afternoon both work. With a ~3-hour half-life on the stimulant component, many can take it later in the day and still sleep well.
• How to mix: Stir into cold water. Avoid hot liquids to protect the actives. It blends well in smoothies or sparkling water.
• If you are weaning off caffeine: Most people transition comfortably over 1–4 weeks. Some keep their morning coffee for taste and swap MTE for the afternoon slump.
• Consistency counts: The lift is noticeable quickly, and the system-level benefits compound over weeks.
• Simple amplifiers: Hydration, daily movement, and quality sleep.

General guidance: MTE is formulated for adults. If you are pregnant, on medication, or managing a complex condition, check with your practitioner first.

Why Regenerative Health Practitioners Recommend It

MTE supports the body’s entire stress-energy network.

It balances cortisol to improve mitochondrial function and strengthen the gut-brain connection.

So, without draining the adrenals, it delivers clean and steady energy, making it a perfect choice for regenerative health practitioners while they work on the deeper layers of healing, like detox, inflammation, and restoration.

Carrie Drinkwine explains it well:

“When we work with the body, not against it, balance becomes effortless.”

Where to Get MTE
