Undertaking the rigors of the competitive educational landscape while both training at an Olympic level, Kent Yoshimura and Ryan Chen recognized the demand for energy products but were surprised to find what people were ingesting. From illegal prescriptions of Adderall™ to the less than desirable ingredients contained in the sector’s most popular energy drinks, a void in the market was clear and present. We set out to fill it.
In search of a product that increased focus and productivity without the unhealthy ingredients and associated side-effects, we began to explore the world of nootropics. However, the idea of taking dozens of pills a day didn't sit well with us. We appreciated the effects but wanted something more accessible.
So with our backgrounds in Neuroscience, Chemistry, and Economics, we embarked on our journey. working alongside a chemist to formulate a product that was healthy, effective, and convenient. Undergoing over a year of research and development, we consulted with brain surgeons, personal formulators, professional athletes, and the typical coffee drinker, we created NeuroGum™ in October 2015 - world’s first patent-pending nootropic energy gum.
NeuroGum is a sugar-free, nootropic energy gum that uses ingredients shown to give your brain the boost it needs to function at its best. The first gum to utilize the effectiveness of nootropics along with natural ingredients scientifically proven to enhance cognition, NeuroGum helps unlock your potential by delivering ingredients that improve concentration, alertness, memory and overall cognition through a medium that everyone can enjoy. On top of that, we never use aspartame.
The synergy of our primary ingredients, caffeine, L-theanine, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 have been studied extensively through a number of clinical experiments to show positive results in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia, epilepsy, cognitive decline following heart and brain surgery, depression, dementia, and a list of other cognitive concerns. You can find links to the studies in the respective sections below.
Nootropics are a class of compounds that improve one or more aspects of mental function such as working memory, motivation, and attention.
Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages on the market. The majority of energy drinks, including Red Bull, Monster, NOS, and Rockstar all contain the low-calorie sweetener.
Many consumer advocacy groups such as The Center for Science state that aspartame has been shown to cause cancer when tested on lab rats, and a statement of side effects submitted to the FDA show 92 side effects associated with aspartame. Given this, we wanted NeuroGum to stay as far away from the artificial sweetener as possible.
Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant in the world. You’ve probably enjoyed it in your coffee, tea, soft drink, or energy drink. Ordinary consumption has low health risks, even when carried on for years – there may be a modest protective effect against some diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.
L-theanine, a natural constituent in green tea, has been used for treating anxiety, high blood pressure, possibly preventing Alzheimer’s disease, and making cancer drugs more effective. It has a chemical structure very similar to glutamate, a naturally occurring amino acid in the body that helps transmit nerve impulses in the brain.
In our gum, it works alongside caffeine to mitigate it’s effect while boosting attention and reducing stress.
The synergistic effects of caffeine and L-theanine together have been intensively studied and is now one of the most popular nootropic beginner stacks. It has been shown that L-theanine may interact with caffeine to enhance performance in terms of attention switching and the ability to ignore distraction; this is likely to be reflective of higher-level cognitive activity and may be sensitive to the detrimental effects of overstimulation. The ratio we chose ensures an effective dose of caffeine while providing the perfect balance of stress relief from the L-theanine.
Vitamin B’s are a class of water-soluble vitamins that play important roles in cell metabolism. They are found in a variety of foods as well as within our bodies.
Vitamin B6 plays various roles in health support including red blood cell production, carbohydrate metabolization, and liver detoxification. For the brain, vitamin B6 is one of several B vitamins required for proper production of neurotransmitters. Three key neurotransmitters—namely GABA, dopamine, and serotonin—all require vitamin B6 for synthesis.
Vitamin B12 also plays a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid metabolism and amino acid metabolism. At levels only slightly lower than normal, a range of symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and poor memory may be experienced.
Absolutely! Since chewing NeuroGum allows for absorption through buccal administration, the ingredients can absorb up to five times faster than drinking it. Furthermore, drinking risks degrading the effective compounds due to stomach acid or bile while buccal administration ensures that the effective compounds won't degrade outside of salivary contact.
NeuroGum is 100% gluten-free, vegan and does not contain any ingredients derived from milk, eggs, soy, or wheat gluten.
