‘Shark Tank’ Season 11 Episode 19: Why Neuro Energy Gum could be your new energy supplement
Ever heard of gums and mints giving you energy or being called “healthy”? We bet not. Almost all chewing gums, mints, mouth fresheners are meant to kill bad breath, and leave a good taste in your mouth. But Kent Yoshimura and Ryan Chen think otherwise. The two young entrepreneurs and alumni of the University of California presented their extraordinary gum and mint products on ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ Season 11 Episode 19.
As students of Cognitive Science and Chemistry and Management Science, respectively, Kent and Ryan wanted to do more with their education and training. They both are also trainers and practitioners of Muay Thai, Kendo and Judo, making them seek more balanced and healthy lifestyle.
They felt that the mainstream energy drinks and supplements lacked what their bodies needed — maximum results to boost mental performance. And thus, Neuro Energy Gum was born.
The nootropic gums and mints are made with sustainable, high-quality, natural ingredients, all approved by FDA. They are all-vegan, safe, non-GMA, gluten- and sugar-free and most interestingly, are only two calories per piece.
Some of the potent ingredients that makes Neuro Energy Gum a vital source of energy and essential nutrients, are L-theanine from green tea, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3 and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). Each of these substances has proven medical benefits and being cold-compressed in the gum, it easily gets into the bloodstream. Thus, it is much more effective and gets activated faster than coffee or caffeinated drinks.
As the brand states, the natural, potent and safely sourced ingredients of the gums and mints can boost energy, increase alertness, reduce stress, improve mood and attention span, relieve fatigue, and help with fighting anxiety.
The gums are available in two variants: Energy & Focus for a mental boost and Calm & Clarity for relaxation, both available in two flavors each.
When Kent and Ryan pitched their product in ‘Shark Tank’, they asked for an investment of $750,000 for a 5% stake in their company. Although their business idea and products it intrigued all the sharks, neither of them found it strong enough to close a deal but wished for their success.
Keep discovering more such interesting and innovative products on ‘Shark Tank’, airing every Friday at 8 pm/7c on ABC.
