A note from Jon, who started Monk Mode
For years my practice started with a negotiation. With the inbox. With the noise still in my head from the drive over.
I didn't want a supplement that shouted. I wanted a small ritual for the twenty minutes before — something to hold while the noise settled on its own.
Four ingredients. Unflavored. A scoop in water before I sit. That's the whole thing. I drink from the same batch that ships.

Questions
Asked and answered.
Does it taste like anything?
It’s unflavored, so it tastes like its ingredients — earthy, a little bitter, mostly from the reishi. It mixes into water. Some prefer it in warm water, like a tea.
When do you drink it?
Ten minutes before you sit. One scoop in water, then a short wait while it settles, then the cushion.
Is there caffeine in it?
No. None of the four ingredients contains caffeine. It isn’t a stimulant.
Is this a subscription?
No. One jar, one charge. Nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel. Order again whenever the jar runs low.
Is it safe during pregnancy, nursing, or with medication?
Monk Mode is intended for adults 18 and older. It contains ashwagandha, which is not for use during pregnancy or while nursing. Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you take medication or have a medical condition.
Why root powder ashwagandha, and not an extract?
Honesty, mostly. Root powder is the traditional Ayurvedic form. Most modern trials use concentrated extracts, so Monk Mode doesn’t borrow those results to describe a root powder. What’s on the panel is what’s in the jar.
The twenty minutes before. Drink before you sit.
