Our story

We are two female entrepreneurs tired of not having a better brain beverage for our busy lives. After going through our own mental health struggles, and realizing the incredible power of nutrition to support holistic mental health, we set on a path to help create more credible, convenient, everyday brain health solutions

Our passion brought to fruition BrainFood, with science-backed ingredients and accessible education to give you back your power.

Know About Our Products

Over at BrainFood, we're all about a balanced brain with our bubbly, nutrient-packed sparkling waters. They're made to help support your concentration, prepare against stress, and keep your mind in tip-top shape. Plus, they taste awesome and are a causal, fun way to give your brain some love.

What We Got

Taste is our priority - because what's the point if you can't enjoy it? That's why we mix in a splash of real fruit juice along with our science-backed mix of nutrients in every can.

And our flavors? They were not random - in fact, we developed 17 different flavors ourselves, testing and getting feedback from students and professionals just like you... before awarding our top 3 refreshing winners.

  • Ginger Apple: A balanced refreshing kick of ginger with the cool taste of apple in one drink.
  • Strawberry Thyme: This one's a subtly sweet mix of strawberries with a hint of thyme.
  • Watermelon Fizz: Take a sip of sparkling watermelon for a refreshing, light, and bubbly feel.

  • Wanna try them all? The Tasty Trio's got you covered with Ginger Apple, Strawberry Thyme, and Watermelon Fizz. Pick it up in a 6-pack or go big with a 12-pack.

While each can is infused with the same brain-loving nutrients to support a clear & balanced mind, the distinct flavors will keep your taste buds happy too.

Key Nutrients and Their Benefits

Our drinks come loaded with a nutrient mix that's good for your noggin health.

  • Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin): It's super important for making energy and keeping your mood in check, which helps your brain work at its best.
  • Folic Acid (Vitamin B9/Folate): Basically B12's Bff - it works in tandem with B12 to support your mood, energy, and brain function. It also helps declutter waste to keep your brain running smoothly)
  • Vitamin D3: The inflammatory warrior - this one fights off inflammation, while also important for keeping your mind focused and your mood steady.
  • Zinc Bisglycinate: Zinc is incredibly important for our ability to think, react, and our motivation. But not all zinc's are created equally - this zinc is the most well-tolerated and well-absorbed form.
  • Acetyl L-Carnitine: A building block for proteins that helps your brain cells make energy, promoting a focused and energized mind.
  • CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10): This strong antioxidant shields your brain cells against oxidative stress and boosts how your body makes energy.
  • Rhodiola Root Extract: This tough herb ramps up your ability to bounce back from stress and helps your mind stay sharp while keeping tiredness at bay.
  • Chicory Inulin (Plant Fiber): This prebiotic plant fiber is good for your tummy's health, which has a big influence on how you think and feel.

Wanna Know: How it Works

Our Pledge to Top-Notch Drinks

Your well-being comes first with us, and to make that happen, we make sure our beverages don't have any extra sugar fake tastes, or stuff to keep them from going bad. We toss in real fruit juice and nature's own flavors for a drink that's delish and does good for you too. With a small amount of natural sweetness from real juice, we only need a pinch of our natural sweetener, called Fermented Reb-M. Coming from the sugarcane plant that's grown the eco-friendly way, it gets its sweetness from fermenting so you get a balanced subtle sweet taste... without a huge calorie or sugar spike.

BrainFood's Role in Boosting Mental Wellness

Okay, but how does brainfood actually work?

Brainfood helps fill more common nutrition gaps that might mess with your ability to stay sharp and manage the daily stressors. The stuff we pick to go in it doesn't just work alone; they team up to help stimulate your brain's energy production, aid mood regulation, tone down inflammation, and keep your brain cells safe. This all adds up to support a balanced brain, so you can do more and feel good doing it.

But Brainfood is more than just a drink - we strive to help make taking care of your brain and mental health a little bit easier... by providing delicious beverages and fun everyday brain health tips.
