Which Has More Caffeine, Ryze or Four Sigmatic? Both ~50 mg

Both list about 50 mg of caffeine per serving: RYZE Mushroom Coffee shows ~50 mg per 1 Tbsp (6 g) scoop, and Four Sigmatic Focus Instant Coffee shows 50 mg per 2.5 g packet. The labels differ on fiber, calories and which mushrooms they name.

The figures below come from the current brand labels, and the Nutrition Facts panel on the bag you hold is the final reference.

Key takeaways

• Caffeine: RYZE's brand page label lists about 50 mg per 1 Tbsp (6 g) serving, and Four Sigmatic's Focus packet lists 50 mg per 2.5 g packet.
• Mushrooms: RYZE names six mushrooms inside a 2,000 mg blend, while Four Sigmatic names lion's mane and chaga extracts plus rhodiola. Individual doses are not disclosed for either product.
• Fiber: RYZE lists 2 g of dietary fiber (8% DV) per serving, and the Four Sigmatic label lists no dietary fiber amount.
• Calories: 20 per RYZE serving and 10 per Four Sigmatic packet on the current brand labels.
• Older RYZE listings on Open Food Facts show a different recipe, so check the bag you buy.

Does RYZE Mushroom Coffee have caffeine, and how much is in a serving?

RYZE Mushroom Coffee lists about 50 mg of caffeine per 1 Tbsp (6 g) serving. The '~50MG CAFFEINE' figure appears on the nutrition label image on the RYZE product page, which lists Servings Per Container 30.

The same image shows '2,000MG FULL SPECTRUM MUSHROOM' per serving. That is a total blend weight. The label does not break the 2,000 mg into individual mushroom amounts, and those amounts are not disclosed on the brand page.

The brand page also says the product comes 'with less than half the caffeine of regular coffee.' That is a brand claim. The milligrams of caffeine in a regular cup are not stated on the brand pages, so the claim cannot be checked against a specific cup using the label alone.

How much caffeine is in Four Sigmatic Focus Instant Coffee per packet?

Four Sigmatic Focus Instant Coffee lists 50 mg of caffeine per packet, and each packet weighs 2.5 g. The Four Sigmatic Focus product page states 'Caffeine level 50 mg caffeine' and instructs readers to 'Stir 1 packet in hot water.'

The box holds 10 packets with a net weight of 0.9 oz (25 g). Because each packet is smaller than a RYZE serving, the caffeine figure is the easiest number to compare: 50 mg in each case, from 2.5 g in one and 6 g in the other.

On these labels, caffeine is effectively tied.

What mushrooms does RYZE Mushroom Coffee contain compared with Four Sigmatic?

RYZE names six mushrooms in a 2,000 mg total blend; Four Sigmatic names two mushroom extracts and rhodiola. Rhodiola is a plant rather than a mushroom, and neither label gives a milligram dose for each named ingredient.

RYZE's Organic RYZE Super6 Mushroom Blend lists cordyceps, reishi, king trumpet, shiitake, turkey tail and lion's mane. The 2,000 mg figure covers the whole blend, so a reader cannot tell how much of that total comes from any one mushroom.

Four Sigmatic's ingredient list for the version described on the brand page names organic lion's mane extract, organic chaga extract and organic rhodiola extract. The brand page describes the product as 'powered by lion's mane and chaga mushrooms.' The amount of each extract, including the rhodiola, is not disclosed.

Does RYZE Mushroom Coffee have dietary fiber, and how does Four Sigmatic compare?

RYZE lists 2 g of dietary fiber per 1 Tbsp (6 g) serving (8% DV); the Four Sigmatic label lists no dietary fiber amount. The Four Sigmatic nutrition panel also states the product is not a significant source of dietary fiber.

RYZE's fiber comes from an Organic Prebiotic Blend made of acacia fiber, inulin fiber and tapioca fiber. Those three ingredients are the fiber sources in its ingredient list. The Four Sigmatic ingredient list contains no fiber ingredient, which matches its label.

Total carbohydrates also differ. RYZE lists 5 g (2% DV) per serving, and Four Sigmatic lists 2 g (1% DV) per packet. Both list 0 g of total sugars and 0 g of added sugars.

How many calories are in RYZE Mushroom Coffee vs Four Sigmatic Focus per serving?

RYZE lists 20 calories per 1 Tbsp (6 g) serving, and Four Sigmatic lists 10 calories per 2.5 g packet. Label figures cover only the listed serving.

Older data differs. Open Food Facts lists 15 kcal per 6 g for the same RYZE UPC, 850031261006, but that listing describes an older recipe with organic coconut milk and organic MCT oil. The brand page label is the current one, and older bags may differ. Whether the older recipe is still on shelves is not disclosed.

Both current panels show 0 g total fat and 0 g saturated fat. RYZE lists 5 mg of sodium per serving, and Four Sigmatic lists 0 g.

What is in the RYZE and Four Sigmatic Focus ingredient lists?

RYZE's current brand page lists organic instant coffee, an organic mushroom blend and an organic prebiotic blend. Four Sigmatic's packet lists organic instant coffee powder plus three organic extracts in the version shown on its brand page.

• RYZE: Organic Instant Coffee; Organic RYZE Super6 Mushroom Blend (Cordyceps, Reishi, King Trumpet, Shiitake, Turkey Tail, Lion's Mane); Organic Prebiotic Blend (Acacia Fiber, Inulin Fiber, Tapioca Fiber).
• Four Sigmatic Focus: Organic instant coffee powder; organic lion's mane extract; organic chaga extract; organic rhodiola extract.

The older Open Food Facts listing for RYZE names organic instant Arabica coffee, a mushroom blend, organic coconut milk and organic MCT oil. It also carries a tree nut flag for coconuts. Readers with tree nut or coconut concerns should check the bag they hold rather than relying on either listing alone.

Neither current ingredient list shows added sugar, and both nutrition panels show 0 g added sugars. For a creamer label comparison, see Does Nutpods Have Carrageenan? No. Nutpods vs Califia.

What does the FDA's 400 mg daily guidance mean for these products?

For most adults, the FDA has described 400 mg of caffeine a day as 'an amount not generally associated with negative effects.' Each product lists about 50 mg per serving, so a single serving is a small share of that daily figure. The FDA relates that amount to roughly two to three 12-fluid-ounce cups of coffee.

As a simple calculation from label values, not a figure stated by either brand or the FDA, eight servings of either product would add up to 400 mg. Whether that matters depends on how many servings a person has and what other caffeine sources they consume, which these labels do not cover.

Sensitivity to caffeine varies widely between people, so the 400 mg figure is a general reference rather than a personal limit. Because the regular coffee cup figure is not stated on these pages, a direct per-cup comparison with either product is not possible from the labels.

Is RYZE Mushroom Coffee or Four Sigmatic Focus Instant Coffee better for shoppers?

Neither label can be called better from these facts alone, because the two products tie on caffeine per serving and differ on fiber, calories and named ingredients. The weighing is left to the reader.

Caffeine per serving	About 50 mg (1 Tbsp, 6 g)	50 mg (1 packet, 2.5 g)
Dietary fiber	2 g (8% DV)	No amount listed

How do you read the RYZE and Four Sigmatic labels yourself?

Start with the serving size, then compare caffeine, calories and fiber per serving rather than per container. The checklist below makes the two labels easier to line up.

• Serving size: 1 Tbsp (6 g) for RYZE; 1 packet (2.5 g) for Four Sigmatic.
• Servings per container: 30 for RYZE; 10 for Four Sigmatic.
• Caffeine: look for '~50MG CAFFEINE' on RYZE and 'Caffeine level 50 mg' on Four Sigmatic.
• Mushroom count: list each named mushroom, then check whether the label gives a dose for each. Neither label does.
• Fiber line: RYZE shows 2 g; the Four Sigmatic panel shows no amount.
• Recipe check: if your bag names coconut milk, MCT oil or tree nuts, it may be an older formulation than the current brand page.
