Hey there,
It’s Danielle, the in-house herbalist, product formulator, and all-around mushroom nerd at Four Sigmatic. I’m so excited to geek out with you on our new and improved plant-based protein formula.
As you know, we are ALWAYS listening to your feedback and adjusting what we do based on what we hear from you. For years now, many of you have been sharing your feedback on our protein powder, and we gathered all of your thoughts (sent out a few surveys that many of you probably participated in!), and went to work on making it the protein powder you asked for.
I kept the things most of you unanimously loved - USDA-certified organic and plant-based, a blend of plant-based protein sources infused with an effective dose of functional mushrooms, and free of anything nasty (artificial flavors, stevia, refined sugar, gums, fillers, you name it).
Things you wanted to be changed?
- More protein
- Better macros (less sugar!)
- Smoother mouthfeel and consistency
- And more superfood benefits.
So I got to work.
- ✅ I increased the amount of protein per serving to 20g
- ✅ Reduced the amount of sugar (and updated the blend of sweetness to organic coconut sugar and a touch of monk fruit- loving this combo lately!)
- ✅ Cleaned up the mushroom blend to the top 3 functional mushrooms you’re all loving (reishi, lion’s mane and turkey tail)
- ✅ And then added a digestive blend of 1 billion CFU heat-resistant Bacillis subtilis DE111 probiotics plus prebiotic yacon root to feed those healthy bacteria and ensure they survive and thrive in your microbiome.
I also added a blend of 5 greens and fruit. This is a big one:
- Moringa leaf: an adaptogenic tree native to India that is so nutrient-dense it’s been used to supplement malnourished children.
- Kale: if you know me, kale is my favorite food... It will take another email to explain the benefits, but in short, antioxidants, vitamin K, magnesium, sulforaphane…
- Wheatgrass: I’ve been taking wheatgrass shots at my Saturday farmers market for 20+ years. It's a nutrient powerhouse with aminos, vitamins, minerals, and some of the most important compounds for staying healthy, like glutathione, the master antioxidant, and chlorophyll, which gives it the deep green pigment and is involved in key bodily functions like detoxification, skin health, gut health, and immune function.
- Beetroot: the deep red/purple root vegetable offering the antioxidant group betalains
- Blueberry: anthocyanin-rich superfoods packed with compounds that support brain health, heart health, digestion, immune system, and more.
TL;DR (kind of 😅):
This plant-based protein has more protein per serving from 3 organic plants (brown rice, pea, & hemp), low sugar from whole food sources (coconut & monk fruit), our top 3 functional mushroom extracts (reishi, lion’s mane & turkey tail), a digestive blend (with both pre & probiotics), plus a blend of 5 superfood plants to support full body wellness. It’s also wayyy smoother and creamier, even on its own!
As a thank you for being part of our community, you’ll get early access to all flavors—up to 50% off— during our VIP Protein Clearance Event. Don’t wait—this limited-time offer ends April 23, and inventory is going fast.
Mush love,
