NEUROGUMThe Smart Way to Chew Gum
NEUROGUM, LLC 2013
4 5
With our diverse team of experts, NeuroGum offers people the smart way to chew gum and mints.
NeuroGum is a confectionary company that specializes in “smart“ gums and mints. This means all of our products are Kosher, aspartame-free, and help the mind and body in some way - from freshening breath to increasing concentration, we make stuff that‘s good for you.
Changing the confectionary world -
While experiencing the competitive educational atmosphere at the University of California, San Diego, founders Kent Yoshimura and Ryan Chen set out to get an edge on quizzes and exams that didn‘t involve ingesting artificial forms of energy. They wanted to figure out a way to increase focus and productivity without sacrificing a fun, exciting life outside school. With their respective
backgrounds in Cognitive Neuroscience/Art and Chemistry/Economics, they discovered a solution. In 2013, they teamed up with nutrition expert Drew Avery and founded NeuroGum, LLC.
Creating innovative gums and mints that suits your needs -
Beginning with their proprietary nootropic gum, NeuroGum has now expanded into creating carefully formulated breath freshening gums and mints as well. We make sure you‘re only chewing on organic, aspartame-free, and gluten-free confectionaries made in Kosher-certified facilities. Whether studying for an exam or preparing for a date, we make the smartest products to suit your needs.
THE ANATOMY:Focusing on products that work
So who are NeuroGum products for?
Robot, monster, alien, or human? All of our gums and mints are Kosher, aspartame-free, and do not contain any ingredients derived from milk, eggs, soy or wheat gluten! However, we do suggest you go for our mints over our gums if you have dentures.
