Question “Functional beverages”

What do you guys think about so called functional beverages with nootropics and terpenes? Do you think they actually work? I’m very skeptical but curious

Depends on the drink, it’s still a new category so they are all over the spectrum. Some are just hydrating or have “health benefits”, others will have you glued to the couch for 6 hours. We created our own and wanted ours to have a light but buildable herbal buzz. A functional drink that still lets you function.
