For A Sharper Mind, Eat Your Coffee
(NAPS)--Busy consumers today
expect a lot from their food--it needs to
be convenient, tasty and enhance physi-
cal and mental performance. To this
end, two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs
have created an innovation to chew on:
A gummy cube that combines the caf-
feine kick (and taste)of coffee with the
soothing benefits of green tea and the
metabolic benefits of B complex.
This new product is called GO
CUBES and it is at the forefront of the
nootropics movement. Nootropics,
from the Greek word for "toward the
mind," are compounds of enzymes,
vitamins, minerals and the like that are
_believed to enhance brain activity.
Nootropics aren't just for garners and
those on the cutting edge of nutrition.
One of the most popular nootropics is
caffeine, commonly found in coffee,
which roughly 83 percent of adult Amer-
icans drink, according to National Cof-
fee Association's 2013 online survey. This
makes tb.e cubes excellent for anyone
who needs to boost energy or sharpen
focus--from entrepreneurs to busy
morns to athletes to college students.

Now you can enjoy your morning
caffeine on the go and keep a. tasty
energy and cognitive boost in your
pocket all day long.
GO CUBES come in convenient
4-packs and offer exactly 50 mg caffeine
per cube (whereas the amotmt of catL
feine in a cup of coffee varies greatly).
Perhaps best yet, they are portable and
won't spill when you are on the go.
Some say this is what the next genera-
tion of coffee looks--and tastes--like.
