What type of mint do you use in your FOOSH® Energy Mints?
I read about your “Proprietary Synergistic Energy Blend” but my head tunes out. Can you explain what’s in your mints without resorting to marketing-speak? What does that stuff do?
The Energy provided by both FOOSH® Energy Mints comes from a blend of Caffeine, Ginseng, Taurine, and five B vitamins: Thiamin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. What does all this stuff do? That’s easy – it gives you Energy! Oh, it does a few other things too that we’ll get to in a minute, but the main thing it does is give you that boost of Energy just when you need it. In fact, a FOOSH® Energy Mint has 25% more caffeine than any of the leading Energy drinks per serving.
Caffeine:
Is there anything better when you’re behind the wheel and need that extra Energy to make it home, or when you’re studying for the big exam and need that push to get you over the finish line? Caffeine helps you improve your focus, concentration, endurance, athletic performance, stimulate your metabolism and boost your reaction speeds. Don’t believe us? Go to our “Energy Links” section and read more on its benefits.
B Vitamins:
The B-vitamins play a major role in the body’s ability to generate Energy from nutrients provided by the foods we eat. Getting the proper amounts of these vitamins counters the effects of fatigue and nervousness and improves overall performance and stamina.
Ginseng:
Ginseng is a medicinal root long recognized in Chinese medicine for its curative properties. Nowadays, it's taken as a tonic to enhance vitality, to increase stamina and to build up resistance to the psychological and physical stresses of modern life. Ginseng has been known to stimulate physical and mental activity especially in tired or weak patients, defend against physical strain, act as a mental stimulant and stimulates the endocrine glands, including the sex glands.

Taurine:
Taurine is an amino acid that has neurotransmitter functions and regulates sodium, calcium and potassium levels in cell membranes. Taurine also has antioxidant properties and aids the body in its absorption of nutrients needed for optimal mental and physical performance.
I really like your products, but I’m worried about the effect of so much caffeine. Is it safe?
Our products are as safe as coffee. Consume them as you would consume coffee or Energy drinks. Remember, just one mint or chew equals a full cup of coffee or an 240ml Energy drink. Caffeine, when over-consumed, can cause side effects, including nervousness, restlessness, and rapid heart rate. Not recommended for children or people pregnant or nursing.
You don’t have to take our word on the many benefits of caffeine however. Just check out a new book called, The Caffeine Advantage – How to Sharpen Your Mind, Improve Your Physical Performance and Achieve Your Goals The Healthy Way, by Alan Weinberg. You can find this book and many others on the benefits of caffeine at Amazon.com. Also, you can go to our Caffeine Links and read more about the safety of caffeine.
Is there an ideal time to use FOOSH® Energy Mints?
Obviously, any time you need that quick burst of Energy for concentration or physical activity would be a good time for a FOOSH®. In addition, your sensitivity to caffeine, body weight and whether you’ve had food recently will also affect the product’s effectiveness.
Who should use your products? More importantly, who shouldn’t use your products?
Foosh energy mints are safe for almost everybody looking for an edge to boost their performance. On the other hand this product is not recommended for children, diabetics, pregnant women, nursing mothers or persons sensitive to caffeine. It is not to be consumed by persons under the age of 16. It is the responsibility of the person consuming this product to take it in moderation
Exactly how much caffeine is there in a FOOSH®?
A whole lot! By way of comparison, let’s take a look at four of the most popular sources of caffeine, a can of cola, one of those “Red” Energy drinks, the ever popular cup of coffee, and other caffeinated Energy mints:
- One FOOSH Energy Mint™ contains 100mg of caffeine - One can of Coca-Cola™ contains 34mg.
- One FOOSH Energy Mint™ contains 100mg of caffeine - A typical 240ml cup of coffee contains 100mg of caffeine. Well, that would appear to be a tie between coffee and FOOSH®.
- One FOOSH Mint™ contains 100mg of caffeine – one of those “Red” Energy drinks contains 80mg of caffeine. One Energy packed mint has 25% more caffeine than any of those “Red” Energy drinks. Of course they also contain far more calories, colorings and a really bad taste. Not really much of a contest here, is there?
- One FOOSH Mint™ contains 100mg of caffeine – our competitor mints have 7 mg of caffeine. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions there.
Where can I find FOOSH® Energy Mints?
Our products are still being rolled out nationwide, so if you can’t find them near you, We’d recommend you let your local retailers know that they’re missing out on the hottest Energy mint on the market and ask them (very politely!) to give us a try!
If you are a retailer, distributor or broker and are interested in carrying our products, just e-mail us at the "Contact Us"
Are FOOSH® Energy Mints suitable for vegetarians?
It depends on how strict a vegetarian you are. FOOSH® contains no animal products at all.
What is it with that funky texture of your mints?
The ingredients in the mint melt in the mouth at different rates giving the mints their distinctive texture.
How many FOOSH® Energy Mints should I have?
Simply use our products the way you would any other Energy enhancing product like coffee or Energy drinks. Consume responsibly because sleep is good, too!
How fast until I feel the effects?
You may feel the benefits almost immediately through sublingual infusion. This occurs when the product dissolves slowly in your mouth. The product is absorbed through your cheek wall lining and under your tongue. The absorption is quicker this way than if it just went through your digestive track. The effects are also faster and greater on an empty stomach. We are not suggesting you take them on an empty stomach. It is up to you.
What type of mint do you use in your FOOSH® Energy Mints?
Peppermint of course, the most popular kind of mint.
