Doctor of Biological Sciences Vladimir Bessonov spoke about this.
The expert listed drinks that can invigorate you better than coffee in a conversation with the publication Argumenty i Fakty .
What to replace coffee with
Firstly, yerba mate, or Paraguayan tea. It is stronger than both regular tea and coffee.
The caffeine content in the total dry matter mass is 2-10%.
Next come black and green tea, coffee and cocoa, ” said Bessonov.
Secondly, the scientist recommended paying attention to Chinese magnolia vine (schisandra).
The tonic effect of schisandra is not associated with caffeine, the biologist noted.

They improve the condition of blood vessels and blood supply to tissues and organs.
Schisandra also contains alkaloids – theobromines and theophyllines.
