Ryze vs Mud Wtr » Sprint Kitchen (2024)

Today, I’ll show you the difference between the Ryze VS Mud Wtr.

We’ll go over everything you need to know and by the end, you’ll be able to choose the drink that’s right for you.

Let’s jump in.

Difference Between Ryze and Mud Wtr

Ingredients

This one is an all out battle of the mushrooms.

You’ve got Mud Wtr which has 4 well known functional mushrooms:

• Lion’s Mane for focus
• Cordyceps for energy
• Chaga for immune support
• Reishi for anti tumor and stress

Then you’ve got Ryze. It’s as if they said, “you know what, let’s just hit em’ with all the mushrooms”.

Ryze has all the same as Mud Wtr except you’ll also get these:

• sh*take for added immune support
• Turkey Tail for gut health and chronic fatigue
• King Trumpet for inflammation and antioxidants

Do more mushrooms make it better?

Hard to say really. Some of these mushrooms aren’t well studied to say for sure.

There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence for them but not much scientific evidence. A lot of these were used in ancient medicines.

Lion’s Mane has the most research done out of all these.

One thing for sure, Turmeric (found in Mud Watr) is one of the best studied supplements out there.

Turmeric’s active ingredient curcumin, has been found to help with depression, pain, inflammation, anxiety and blood pressure. It’s incredibly powerful.

The fundamental difference between the two drinks is the caffeine. Caffeine is potent.

It can give you energy, help you focus but at the same time it can ruin your sleep, give you anxiety and jitters.

Mud Wtr uses Masala Chai powder which contains about 13mg per serving.

Ryze has coffee in it. So you’ll get about 50mg per serving which is about a half cup of coffee.

The idea is that the mushrooms found in Ryze take off the edge and try to mitigate some of the nasty side effects that come with caffeine.

Mud Wtr attacks the root of the problem which is the caffeine.

Here’s the full ingredient profile for Mud Watr:

• Masala Chai
• Cacao
• Lions Mane
• Cordyceps
• Chaga
• Reishi
• Cinamon
• Turmeric
• Himalayan Sea Salt

This is the full ingredient profile for Ryze:

• Chaga
• Lions Mane
• Fair Trade Coffee

🏆 Winner: Mud Wtr

Both contain Lion’s Mane and other functional mushrooms that can help substitute the performance boost you get from less caffeine. However, Mud Wtr uses only 13mg from Chai tea leaves. When I made the switch, I slept better, had less anxiety and jitters.

Taste

Mud Wtr and Ryze have an earthy blend of flavors from the mushrooms. Both of them have a dominant Chai taste.

I like how Mud Wtr uses cocoa, sea salt and cinnamon to complement the Chai flavor.

Ryze you can still taste the coffee. I love the taste of coffee but I had to taper back due to its acidic nature. I found that Mud Wtr was a little easier on the stomach.

🏆 Winner: Mud Watr

Ryze tastes more like coffee but has so many mushrooms so it’s more earthy than Mud Watr. If you like Chai and chocolate, Mud Watr is great. When you combine it with their creamer and sweetener, it’s so good.

Energy

No surprise here that Ryze will give you more energy. It has more caffeine that packs a punch.

I like how they only use 50mg. It feels like a sweet spot amount to boost your energy but lessen the negative effects of caffeine.

Will you still get energy with Mud Watr?

100%. It’s just you probably won’t feel it as much. It’s more of a smooth and subtle kind of boost.

You’re likely to feel less stimulated and jittery.

🏆 Winner: Ryze

If you want a more powerful blend of energy, Ryze delivers because it still has more caffeine. Mud Watr works too, you just won’t feel it as much.

Focus

This one’s tricky.

Energy does not equal focus. You can have lots of energy but not be able to focus due to jitters.

Ask yourself, are you the type of person that struggles to focus when they feel jittery?

If so, Mud Watr might be better for you. However, if you need a coffee in your hand to get anything done, like you’re 100% reliant, then Ryze might suit you best.

Either way you go, you’re going to be able to focus pretty well with both.

They both contain Lion’s Mane which is a nootropic that can help you feel like you’re Bradely Cooper in Limitless. Well maybe not but you get the point, Lion’s Mane can help.

👔 Winner: Tie

If you have high caffeine tolerance, Ryze can work well for you. If you’re someone who wants a more natural and balanced level of focus, Mud Wtr.

Price & Packaging

Mud Wtr comes in a sleek black pill like container that’s easy to take on the go. The morning ritual comes with an electric whisk which is worth getting.

There are times where you get clumps at the bottom that don’t fully dissolve.

In terms of price, it’s on the more expensive side but that’s because it comes with a ton of high quality ingredients sourced from all over.

A 30 day supply of Mud Wtr starts at $50 one time or $40 if you purchase a monthly subscription.

Ryze is $36 for a 30 day supply and $30 with a subscription. It comes in a big packet in powder form.

Both come with a scooper. All you need to do is scoop one serving, pour hot water and then stir it with a handheld blender or spoon.

🏆 Winner: Ryze

Ryze is cheaper by about $14. Although Mud Watr is more expensive, it’s better on the go.

Final Verdict

So I started with Ryze and while it was great for a bit, I wanted to wean off my caffeine dependence even more. I switched to Mud Watr and I haven’t looked back.

I’m getting better sleep and my anxiety is in check. On the days where I REALLY need an extra kick, I just add an espresso shot to my Mud Watr and I’m good to go.
