# Dead Point Mushroom Coffee — review data

## Verdict
Dead Point SEND is a green-tea-caffeinated drink mix rather than a coffee, and it states the highest per-species mushroom doses we have measured: 1,000 mg each of cordyceps and lion's mane, both fruiting body, for $1.40 a serving. No certificate of analysis has been published yet, which is the one thing holding it back.
Overall score: 3.9/5 (taste 4, ingredients 4.5, transparency 4.5, value 3.5, lab testing 2, dosage 5)

## Facts
- Brand website: https://drinkdeadpoint.com/
- Price: $42.00 USD for 30 servings ($1.40 per serving)
- Caffeine per serving: 150 mg
- Formats: instant
- Beta-glucan content disclosed: no
- Third-party tested: not stated
- Organic: no

## Mushrooms per serving
- Cordyceps: 1000 mg, fruiting-body (human studies used 1,000–4,000 mg/day)
- Lion's Mane: 1000 mg, fruiting-body (human studies used 1,000–3,000 mg/day)

## Pros
- 1,000 mg each of cordyceps and lion's mane, both stated as fruiting body — the highest per-species doses on any label we track
- Every active is printed on the front of the pack with its milligrams; the brand states plainly that it uses no proprietary blends
- 150 mg of caffeine with 200 mg of L-theanine is a genuine pre-training dose, where most mushroom coffees stop at 45–50 mg

## Cons
- The certificate-of-analysis page is an empty ledger: it promises batch COAs by lot number and currently publishes none, while each product page says the COA is already published
- No beta-glucan percentage, no extraction ratio and no organic certification, so the impressive milligram figures cannot be checked
- It is not coffee and does not taste like it — a blood orange and yuzu drink mixed into cold water

## Skip it if
- You want something that tastes like a morning coffee — this is a citrus drink
- You are caffeine-sensitive; 150 mg is roughly three times a typical instant mushroom blend
- You want a published COA before you trust a dose claim

## FAQ
Q: Is Dead Point mushroom coffee?
A: No. There is no coffee in any Dead Point product. SEND gets its 150 mg of caffeine from green tea, and the drink is flavoured with blood orange and yuzu rather than roasted coffee. The brand calls its products drink mixes, not coffee. We cover it because it competes for the same morning slot and states far larger mushroom doses than the coffees do.

Q: How much cordyceps and lion's mane is in Dead Point SEND?
A: 1,000 mg of each per serving, both stated as fruiting body, alongside 500 mg of citicoline and 200 mg of L-theanine. That is the highest per-species figure on any label we track — Spacegoods is the only comparable blend at 1,000 mg. It is still a fraction of the 4 g per day used in the cordyceps endurance trial.

Q: Is Dead Point third-party tested?
A: It says so, but you cannot check it yet. Each product page states that every lot is tested by an independent lab and that the certificate of analysis is published by lot number. The testing page then says COAs will publish there as they issue, and lists none at all. Until a certificate appears we score lab testing low, exactly as we do for any unverifiable claim.

Q: How much caffeine is in Dead Point SEND?
A: 150 mg from green tea, which is about three times a typical instant mushroom coffee and closer to a large brewed coffee than to the 45–50 mg most of this category carries. The brand pairs it with 200 mg of L-theanine and caps its whole line at 160 mg. If you switched from mushroom coffee expecting a gentle lift, this is not that.

Q: How much does Dead Point cost per serving?
A: SEND is $42 for 30 servings, or $1.40 each, dropping to $1.20 on a subscription the brand bills every 30 days. That is mid-to-high against mushroom coffee, where the range runs from about $0.37 to $1.90 — but the mushroom dose per serving is two to four times what most of those blends deliver.
