Renovality review
MindBoost, from the Czech brand Renovality, is an organic Arabica coffee to brew in a cafetière, presented as a blend with lion's mane and chaga. On its product page, however, the stated composition mentions neither of them, and no dose per cup is given. So we cannot compare dosages that are not written down. This page takes stock of what Renovality states, what remains unclear, and what Brainstoorm gives for each ingredient.
Who is writing: Mush n Go makes Brainstoorm, a direct competitor of Renovality. This page compares what each brand states on its website and, for Brainstoorm, the technical data sheet from our contract manufacturer. Figures recorded on 6 October 2026. We have no connection with Renovality.
Brainstoorm coffee flavour
Lion's mane, cordyceps and chaga from the fruiting body, maca, ashwagandha and roasted chicory. The taste of coffee, without the jitters.

The same mushroom base, with cocoa and rhodiola. 60 days to change your mind, with a money-back guarantee.
See the choc version →Our verdict in brief
A real organic mushroom coffee, with a product page that still needs clarifying.
Renovality offers four blends of organic Arabica coffee and mushrooms, at a friendly price. MindBoost is the one that highlights lion's mane and chaga. But the composition published on its product page names three other mushrooms, gives quantities per pouch rather than per cup, and adds up to 212 g for a 200 g pouch. As things stand, a buyer cannot know how much lion's mane is in their cup.
- Brainstoorm is for you if you want a recipe you can read: the weight of extract of each mushroom, the part used, 20 mg of caffeine, and 60 days to change your mind.
- Renovality is for you if you are looking above all for a real organic Arabica coffee to brew in a cafetière, with no additives, at a low price, and if the exact dose of mushroom matters little to you.
- On price, Renovality is cheaper as a one-off purchase: around €0.87 to €1.05 per cup in the Czech Republic, versus €1.42 for Brainstoorm; on a three-month subscription, Brainstoorm comes down to €0.78.
What is Renovality
A Czech store, and four mushroom coffees.
Renovality is the brand of Pharmafit Czech s.r.o., a company based in Přerov, in the Czech Republic. Its range of mushroom coffees has four products in 200 g pouches: MindBoost, ImunoBoost, RevitalBoost and BeautyBoost. These are coffees to brew, in a cafetière or Turkish-style, not instant powders. We chose MindBoost, the closest to Brainstoorm in the mushrooms it announces.
The ingredients in detail
What the MindBoost product page states, word for word.
The composition is given for the whole pouch, not for one cup. The same text appears identically on all four product pages in the range, even though each blend announces different mushrooms. Here is what is written on the MindBoost product page.
| Ingredient | Stated amount, per pouch | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Organic Arabica coffee | 182 g | |
| Organic reishi | 10 g | extract or powder: not specified |
| Organic maitake | 10 g | extract or powder: not specified |
| Organic shiitake | 10 g | extract or powder: not specified |
| Lion's mane | not stated | announced in the description |
| Chaga | not stated | announced in the description |
| Stated total | 212 g | for a 200 g pouch |
| Natural caffeine | 113 mg | basis of the figure not given |
Source: “MindBoost Mushroom BIO Coffee Blend 200g” product page and the three other product pages in the range on renovality.cz, recorded on 6 October 2026. We do not know which of the two pieces of information, description or composition, matches the contents of the pouch: only the brand can say. Extraction ratio, part of the mushroom used and polysaccharide content are not given.
Extract or equivalent
Two numbers for the same mushroom: how to read them.
On a mushroom coffee label, the same ingredient can appear with two very different weights. Both are correct; they simply do not measure the same thing. Renovality gives grams per pouch, without saying whether these are extracts; Brainstoorm shows dried-plant equivalents and, on its technical data sheet, the actual weight of each extract. We give both figures on the Brainstoorm side.
The extract is what is in the cup
An extract is a concentrate. With a 10:1 ratio, it took 10 g of dried mushroom to obtain 1 g of powder.
The equivalent is the starting weight
“1,000 mg dry equivalent” with a 10:1 ratio means 100 mg of extract in the cup.
The part of the mushroom matters
The fruiting body is the mushroom itself; the mycelium is its network of filaments. Both are used, and a clear label says which.
The rule for comparing
Always the same column on both sides: extract against extract, equivalent against equivalent. That is what the following table does.
Dosages compared
Brainstoorm and Renovality, line by line.
For Brainstoorm, the table gives the actual weight of extract and then, in brackets, the dried-plant equivalent, for a 6 g serving of the coffee flavour. For MindBoost, it shows what the product page states on the day of our check.
| Per cup | Brainstoorm coffee | Renovality MindBoost |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine | 20 mg, microencapsulated | “113 mg”, basis not given |
| Lion's mane | 100 mg of extract (1,000 mg) | announced, dose not stated |
| Chaga | 20 mg of extract (1,000 mg) | announced, dose not stated |
| Cordyceps | 250 mg of extract (1,000 mg) | absent |
| Reishi, maitake, shiitake | absent | 10 g each per pouch, according to the stated composition |
| Maca | 375 mg of extract (3,000 mg) | absent |
| Ashwagandha | 40 mg of extract | absent |
| Vitamin B5 | 6 mg, 100% of the reference intake | absent |
| Base | roasted chicory 3,500 mg, acacia 889 mg | organic Arabica coffee |
| Part of the mushroom | fruiting body | not specified |
| Sweetener | xylitol | none |
| Organic | no | yes |

Renovality has real strengths: an organic coffee, a recipe with no additives, an affordable price. What is missing is the essential line for a mushroom coffee: how much lion's mane is in the cup. Brainstoorm writes it down for each of its three mushrooms, specifies that they come from the fruiting body, and adds maca and ashwagandha. Its vitamin B5, at 100% of the reference intake, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal mental performance.
Caffeine
An Arabica coffee on one side, 20 mg on the other.
MindBoost is an Arabica coffee: it contains caffeine. The product page states “natural caffeine: 113 mg”, without saying whether this figure applies to one cup, to one serving or to 100 g. As a benchmark, the European Food Safety Authority counts around 90 mg for a 200 ml cup of filter coffee. The brand recommends one to two cups a day.
Brainstoorm contains no coffee. Each cup provides 20 mg of NewCaff® microencapsulated caffeine, coated so that it is released gradually, and its taste comes from roasted chicory.
One cup a day
MindBoost: “113 mg”, basis not given. Brainstoorm: 20 mg. The EFSA benchmark for an adult is 400 mg a day, from all sources combined.
With your usual coffees
Two espressos plus a cup of Brainstoorm: around 180 mg. With an Arabica coffee on top, count that of a filter coffee.
In the afternoon
At 20 mg, a cup of Brainstoorm after lunch weighs four times less on your evening than an espresso.

Price, shipping, guarantee
The price per cup, and the guarantee in writing.
Renovality lists its prices in Czech koruna; we give them converted at the European Central Bank rate of 6 October 2026. Brainstoorm prices were recorded on the France store. The number of cups per pouch of MindBoost is not stated: we calculated it from the recommended dose for a cafetière.
| Prices recorded | Brainstoorm | Renovality MindBoost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 pouch | €42.71 for 30 servings, i.e. €1.42 per cup | 426 Kč (€17.46) for 200 g, i.e. €0.87 to €1.05 per cup |
| Subscription | €29.90 per month, i.e. €1.00 per cup | not offered on this product |
| Best listed price | €69.90 for 3 months on subscription, i.e. €0.78 per cup | “2 + 1 free” offer: 852 Kč for 3 pouches, i.e. around €0.58 per cup |
| Shipping | free from €59 in France | free from 1,200 Kč (€49.17) in the Czech Republic |
| Money-back guarantee | 60 days, even once the pouch is open | “money-back guarantee” displayed, with no duration or conditions in writing |
Prices recorded on 6 October 2026 on mushngo.com (France store) and renovality.cz (Czech Republic store, €1 = 24.405 Kč). The prices per cup for MindBoost are our own calculations, for 10 to 12 g of coffee per cup. Renovality's returns page provides for 14 days from receipt.
Renovality is clearly cheaper, especially with its three-pouch offer: it is the price of a good organic coffee. Brainstoorm costs more per cup because it is not selling the same thing: dosed extracts, in writing, and a 60-day guarantee that also applies to an opened pouch.
Which one to choose
An organic mushroom coffee, or extracts dosed to the milligram?
If what you want first is a good organic Arabica coffee, to brew in a cafetière, with mushrooms on top, Renovality is an honest, inexpensive option. If you want to know exactly what is in your cup, with far less caffeine, without the racing heart at 10 am or the slump at 3 pm, you are the person we created Brainstoorm for.
- 20 mg of caffeine per cup, released gradually, where MindBoost is an Arabica coffee.
- Three mushrooms from the fruiting body, 1,000 mg of equivalent each, including 250 mg of cordyceps extract.
- Two extra plants: 3,000 mg of maca equivalent, plus ashwagandha, neither of which is in the Renovality recipe.
- 6 mg of vitamin B5 in a single cup, i.e. 100% of the reference intake: it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- No mushroom taste: roasted chicory brings the roundness and bitterness of a coffee.
- 60-day money-back guarantee: you taste, you decide.
More than 50,000 people have already replaced one of their cups with Brainstoorm, and rate it 4.8 out of 5.
Before starting either one
- Both products contain caffeine and are not recommended for children or for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
- Brainstoorm is not recommended if you have a thyroid, liver or heart condition: ask your doctor for advice.
- A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet. Do not exceed the stated daily dose.
