Problem:
We found that many people specially students are currently struggling with energy related problems because of many reasons mainly lack sleep, unhealthy habits and insomnia. Also, we realized that people are nowadays more concerned with the secondary effects of caffeine because of the simplification in obtaining information. We know that the overconsumption of caffeine in long term will affect our overall health, mainly attacking the nervous system causing major problems
Idea:
We propose a natural based drink that works as an alternative of regular products such as energy drinks or coffee, we did a lot of research and found many natural components that can give not only a boost of energy but also benefits to our health. Our product main ingredients are ginseng, mint, and a natural sweetener. Ginseng improves brain function, regulates the sugar levels in blood, boost the immune system while being a natural energy source. Mint helps with allergic symptoms and more.
