Without stimulants
Understanding the effects of caffeine on your body, and why Chico is the ideal alternative
Avoid caffeine when you wake up
In the morning, your body naturally produces cortisol, the hormone that gently wakes you up. If you drink coffee too early, the caffeine short-circuits this natural process, exposing you to a double crash in the late morning: a caffeine crash and a natural drop in cortisol, both of which are synonymous with fatigue. With Chico, you can maintain your morning ritual without disrupting your natural energy. Ideally, you should wait 2 hours after waking up before your first coffee.
Limit caffeine in the afternoon
Caffeine remains active in the body for a long time: drinking it in the afternoon can delay falling asleep and affect the quality of your sleep. By replacing your afternoon coffee with a cup of Chico, you can enjoy a truly comforting break without compromising your night and your energy the next day.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women, sensitive individuals, or simply those who want to reduce stimulants: certain situations require avoiding caffeine. Chico is the ideal alternative: 100% plant-based, caffeine-free, and rich in natural fiber, it offers all the pleasure of coffee without compromising your well-being.
