"The package arrived into Canada within the week. That afternoon i drank my first can. At first i didn’t feel anything different, but within the next 15 minutes my mood changed dramatically and I was actually enjoying putting together my poorly designed wine rack. Since then, for the past 2 weeks, I’ve consumed one can a day. I must say that the reaction has been quite pleasant. It is not similar to coffee or other energy drinks. I find I focus easier for prolonged periods of time and have had some of my most productive study sessions after drinking Brain Toniq."
Filip Mares, filipmares.com, June 17, 2009"I love your product. I first noticed Brain Toniq in California and drank them as I drove across the country. I really enjoyed the crisp taste and refreshing aftertaste. With your beverages I can get that pick me up without the crash and aftereffects of caffeine."
Dean, June 17, 2009"I recently sampled Brain Toniq at the Whole Foods Store in Vancouver, WA and bought 6 cans on the spot, having been looking for a good source of Eleuthero. I want to tell you, you have an excellent product. It really works to increase mental focus! I am truly amazed."
Pamela, June 16, 2009"Hi, the drink is excellent, it helps me a lot in jiu-jitsu training. That type of training actually requires alot of mental energy and quick thinking skills. My game has noticeably improved with Brain Toniq. They say the brain uses the most amount of energy in the body during a physical action, not just a mental one. I realized that in jiu-jitsu and I'm glad I found this amazing drink. Thanks guys."
Anthony Davi, June 4, 2009"I work for a management consulting firm, which means we travel almost 100% of the time. It's rough when you fly out Sunday night and land around 1AM eastern time. Adjusting to the time zones is also a headache. I've tried coffee, Red Bull, even 5 Hour Energy but nothing works like Brain Toniq. I love this stuff."
B. Taylor, May 10, 2009"I just finished my freshman year at college, and I will say that Brain Toniq was the most helpful thing for me during finals week. It really helps me focus on my projects and studies. I program a lot, and when I am sitting at a computer into the night, Brain Toniq helps me more than I can say. Keep up the great work."
Sean Kelly, University of Pittsburgh, May 2, 2009"I have been using vitamins, minerals and herbs since the late 60's. Your product is the best commercially combination I've seen. Reminds me of the chinese herbalist tonics I used in S.E. Asia—those tonics were prepared by the herbalist in chinese pharmacies. Well done."
James Burge, April 27, 2009"Ok, like so many others here, I was skeptical. But I purchased a Brain Toniq at a small organic convenience story close to my house. I thought, "why not". I am a 48-yr old female that works full time and attends school part time. I had a test tonight (through an online class), and usually I am stressed about it because it takes a lot for me to comprehend as well as focus sometimes. But not this evening; not only was I focused, I made the best test grade since I started this class!!!! I receive my test results immediately because it is an online class. I was SHOCKED. You can bet, I'll be purchasing a whole lot more of this wonder drink! Thank you so much, and please don't change a thing about it."
Tina from Dallas, March 16, 2009"I had been looking for something that would give me a boost without the caffeine and excessive amounts of sugar (I noticed some negative effects even with yerba mate). The one thing that really struck me was how Brain Toniq affected my mood. I drank a can mid-day and I was in a great mood the rest of the day into the evening. I'm going to start calling it 'happiness in a can'. I'm a vegan and very aware of what I put into my body. Thanks for coming up with a product that's vegan, natural and healthy."
Eric Brown, March 16, 2009"I have to admit, this product works. I was a bit skeptical when I first read the facts on the product at Whole Foods, but my fiancee wanted to give it a shot.
Working as a IT industry, you're on call 24/7. I had a can of Brain Toniq one early morning, and I never felt so energetic and focused. The best part was I never felt liking I was crashing after a few hours - I maintained good energy throughout the day."
I love this drink and I recommend it to anyone who has those long, stressful days.
Lance St. Clair, IT Director, Las Vegas, NV March 3, 2009"Wow. Wow! This stuff really works. (I was so sure it wouldn't). I haven't been this focused in years. I'm doing all the to-dos I'd said I'll do later now. I have already sent your website to all my friends and family. You have a customer for life!"
B Carlton, February 15, 2009"I discovered Brain Toniq at MacWorld; it was quite late and I had a long day at work with a headache. Since you were handing this product out as a free sample I said why not. Drank the whole thing down and within minutes my headache was gone, plus it let me enjoy the rest of the expo. And it kept me focus and alert for the drive home after a long day. Thanks for making this alternative."
P. Wong, February 11, 2009"A friend and I recently stumbled upon Brain Toniq at a Micro Center store in Cincinnati. I was skeptical, so my friend purchased one. He was quite low on energy and focus before he drank it, but let me tell you, he was almost instantly rejuvenated by the drink. The next time we went into the store, we both purchased a Brain Toniq. It was not the same tasting "energy drink" that I'm used to (I normally drink Bawls). I instantly started remembering some problems that I had thought of earlier in the week, and the solutions came much easier after drinking Brain Toniq.
"I am currently a PC technician and have to deal with complex issues everyday. Your product has definitely helped me to solve those problems much easier. Also, as I am a Type 1 Diabetic (as is my friend), we have noticed that your product does not have nearly as much of an effect on our blood sugar. This product would have to be the greatest thing I have ever tried.
"I personally would like to give you a HUGE "Thank you!" for your drink."
Matt B, February 8, 2009"While shopping the other day, my husband and I ran across your wonderful new product. As a superintendent for a very large electrical contractor and a paralegal, we both feel the affects of stress and age on our memory and brain function and are always on the look out for non-synthetic "help". This has proven, thus far, to be a futile search, as many products on the market today are laced with caffiene and/or sugars (real and artificial), which only add to the lack of brain function, not to mention the disaterous physical crashes that accompany those products.
"Then ... WOW! We purchased 8 cans of Brain Toniq to "try" ... and to our amazement ... it WORKS. This week has been wonderful. We have both seen a significate increase in our productivity, I personally have more patience, and feel more "level", if that makes sense to you. But, most of all, we both have a new sense of well being. Thanks for Brain Toniq, and keep up the good work."
W. Hatfield, January 22, 2009"Earlier, I posted a video review of Brain Toniq. I have to admit that drinking it while being sick recently actually helped me to clear my head and stay focused."
Chris Pirillo, January 17, 2009"Even though I'd heard Leo Laporte constantly singing its praises, I was a little skeptical about Brain Toniq - I've tried energy drinks, because I work long hours and go to school, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to focus. But they always make me hyper or jittery, and unable to focus, and the crash made me sleepy. Plus, they all taste horrible. But I decided to keep an open mind!!. I ordered 10 cans, and during my midterms, I kept them close at hand, and I think I can honestly say that Brain Toniq helped me immensely. I'm studying graphic design, and the work can be intense! A lot of times, hours are spent focusing on minute details, and it's easy to lose focus and get distracted. But Brain Toniq really helped me keep my mind on my work, without feeling buzzy or frazzled. I was alert and focused, and I didn't get the dreaded crash. And it tastes so good - light and refreshing, and not sugary sweet. It's coming up on finals week now, and they're sure to be even more trying than the midterms - so I'm going to order some more. Brain Toniq is the greatest study aide I've ever come across!! It's a must for anyone in school, or anyone who needs a little brain boost!! "
Melissa B, December 3, 2008"I tried Brain Toniq this summer, after taking the LSAT in June and not receiving as high a score as I expected. I had used a caffeinated drink to "perk up" before the test, and crashed about halfway through. On the October LSAT, I drank 2 cans of Brain Toniq and scored in the 98th percentile, 8 points higher! Brain Toniq is amazing, and helped me remain focused through 5 hours of rigorous testing. I would recommend Brain Toniq to anyone who needs to be maximally focused for any length of time, especially LSAT takers. "
David, December 2, 2008"I recently purchased a case of Brain TonIQ on the recommendation of Leo Laporte. I must say this stuff is amazing! It is a great substitute for someone like me who is addicted to caffeine. Drinking this I still feel like I am getting my caffeine fix, yet I am drinking something that is not as harmful.
Thank you so much for this product. I have recommended it to all my of caffeine addicted friends and expect to get some for the Christmas Holiday!"
Jason K, December 2, 2008"Well I'll be. It works. Thanks for making this drink."
Gabe F, November 26, 2008"Today, I was alerted again to the possible positive effects of drinking Brain TonIQ. I don't always have a can, but today I had one before I went to play poker at Planet Hollywood casino here in Vegas. It was about an hour and a half after I had the drink and during my session I was faced with two very tough, borderline decisions. I felt so tuned in and I made the call in both of these hands and was right both times. I just felt focused and something in my mind told me the right move and I made it...
I felt especially capable of clearly comprehending what my gut told me to do as well as being able to follow through and execute the plays without second guessing myself or chickening out. And these were very borderline decisions."
Tim Watts, November 14, 2008"Great product. I'm a diabetic and I like having an energy type of drink that doesn't throw my blood sugar out of whack. "
Cory, November 9, 2008"I have to be honest, I do not like drinks like this. I had a friend tell me that I needed to try Brain Toniq and all I can say is WOW!!! I will most definitely, continue to buy this drink. Everything about it is great and I absolutely love the flavor. "
Stephanie, November 7, 2008"You are receiving this from the world's biggest skeptic. My 13-year-old son convinced me to buy four of your Brain Toniq drinks at Wholefoods even though I told him it was a big joke to think a drink could make you focus any clearer or have any positive effect whatsoever. We each drank one of your drinks around 2:30 pm. I couldn not believe it—I felt clear headed, in a great mood all afternoon and evening. I felt "sharp" in two business meetings that afternoon and actually forgot I had taken one of the drinks. My 17-year-old son commented about my great mood and why was I so happy? It was then that it dawned on me that my day was no different than most, except for the Brain Toniq drink. My skeptism kicked in again. The drink could not be responsible for how I felt.
So the next day I took another one of the drinks and again, same great mood, same happy feeling, same sharpness of thought and my entire family noticed. Wow! If anyone thinks this is just another marketing ploy or scam to get people to buy some kind of energy drink, forget it...this is the REAL deal. You have my permission to let anyone read my email to you or even inquire with me! Finally a company that actually delivers on their promise. Thank you so much! (By the way, we went back and cleaned out Wholefood's inventory, HA!) "
Ray Ramirez HIghlands Ranch, Oct 13, 2008"Absolutely spot hitting!! "
Madeleine, September 30, 2008"I'm a junior in High school. I'm anti-caffeine from the recent cluster headaches I’ve had from caffeine withdrawal. I am also trying to stay away from processed and artificial sugar. I was looking for an alternative energy beverage and found this on the shelf at Piazza’s. I was amazed at how flavorsome it was. I felt it lifted my brain fog and gave me a pronounced clarity. "
Travis, September 29, 2008"I was set for a long boring eight hour long meeting and I figured "Ok I'm going to use my last can of Brain Toniq for this." I drank it. It tasted great. I remember thinking how heightened and aware I was and how my brain was excited to complete a million tasks. It felt like I was on coffee, except I had no physiological ailments that came with it (i.e. didn't feel shaky, didn't feel emotionally unstable, etc.) However, when I applied this newly acquired energy from Brain Toniq to the meeting, I still concluded that the meeting was probably the most boring thing in the universe. "
Jake, September 21, 2008"I was skeptical (fear of a big rush then huge down) tried the toniq, LOVED it! I felt perky, sharp, focused & balanced within minutes of consumption. No let down at all. I am now officially an ADDICT! I have to have at least one per day. I tell everyone I meet most of my colleagues are now believers after trying it for themselves. Well done! Red Bull, Monster, forget about it! This is the REAL DEAL folks! "
Chadwick, September 11, 2008"I just started college and have noticed that drinking Brain Toniq helps me study and do my work. Thank you! "
Taylor, Richfield, Utah, September 10th, 2008"Hi gang, I was doing another in-store demo today, and a lady came in and asked immediately if I had an entire case of Brain Toniq left, because she said her college-going son, who is ADHD, is drinking one everyday and swears it has improved his attention span as well as made him feel more able to keep up with the challenges of college. How fabulous is that? It made me feel good as well to know I help market such a product! "
Jennifer, Colorado Springs, September 10, 2008"A great alternative to caffeine! I feel fantastic after drinking a Brain Toniq - a crisp, clear, calm mind. Not jumpy and anxious. Thank you! "
Jack, Tuesday, September 2, 2008"I just want to THANK you, from the bottom of my heart for creating such an amazing drink! I discovered Brain Toniq by accident at the local pharmacy store in in Pacific Palisades, CA and had become an instant fan! What's interesting about the drink that it DOES work without all the negative effects other drink including so-called vitamin waters and such...I've been a drinker for many years of Kombucha, Kefir and your drink is the new revolution to be added to that list! Thank you again! "
Vlad D, Tuesday, September 2, 2008"This drink is awesome! I don't drink anything except water, hot tea, and coffee in the morning. I work out a lot and when I really need a pick me up in the afternoon before a workout I used to turn to coffee because it's the most natural pick me up. Not any more! Thank you soooo much!"
Stephanie Denver, CO Friday, August 15, 2008"We're interested in getting Brain Toniq delivered to the office. After our first case, we're all addicted here."
David L, Monday, August 4, 2008"Hi Scott or to whomever reads this email,
I recently ordered 1 international carton of Brain Toniq to Australia and I have to say it's the best "energy drink" available in Australia. It doesn't have that sweet sugary taste that Red Bull and others have; the taste of Brain Toniq is just brilliant. It seems I can concentrate on the job at hand without loosing concentration unlike other drinks. Great job to you all and I hope someone would get this distributed into Australia soon as I feel it would be very well received here. I'm about to order some more right now."
Josh Ridgeway, Tasmania, Australia – Thursday, July 31, 2008"My wife and I drank our first four-pack of Brain Toniq. I was not sure what to expect, but I must tell you, we both really liked the brain boost benefit. We also really like the flavor, and the “feel” of it. I’m pretty sensitive to sugar, so I don’t care for the typical spike/crash, and I certainly don’t like artificial sweeteners. Your beverage does not have those downsides, and it tastes great. Well done."
H. Ambrose – Monday, June 23, 2008My mom told me about Brain Toniq for months, and finally this past week I got to try it. Now I know what all the rave is about! Your drink is wonderful and helped me tremendously while trying to stay awake & drive back to Steamboat.
Rachel R., Steamboat Springs, CO – Wednesday, June 11, 2008Hello! My client gave me a Brain Toniq just before I began developing her web site for their natural foods snack shop here in Albuqerque, New Mexico. I must say that I found that my ability to process things increased greatly shortly after I tried Brain Toniq for the first time. Needless to say, I've had a few more while developing web sites for my clients since then. Thank you, this beverage rocks.
Marshall H., Albuquerque, NM – Thursday, May 29, 2008"For me, BrainToniq works just like it is advertised to work. I have been studying for a final exam and typically, 20 minutes of studying and I am tired, sleepy and nothing is penetrating any more. I drink a BrainToniq and can study right along for two solid hours - seems like I memorize better, think more clearly. Thank you for creating this drink!"
Nancy Cobble – June 4, 2008"To whom it may concern: I have replaced my morning cup of coffee with a can of Braintoniq and and notice a difference in my mental alertness. On the other hand, my daughter drinks Braintoniq when she studies and takes her tests. She attributes her grades in organic chemistry (96%) to it. Overall, we're very impressed."
Bernie S., Wyoming- Friday, April 4, 2008"My son 14 had a major math test and I gave him one of the samples I took at the tradeshow [ed: Natural Products Expo West]. He said it was weird, but he finished first and aced the test that, the day before, he'd been struggling with the math. His teacher, Ms Chang, went online to your site and ordered some to see what the heck this stuff is."
Penny F, California - Wednesday, March 26, 2008"Hey, folks, I have an interesting story. I used to drink Red Bull, but I read about Brain Toniq on a few online blogs, got intrigued about what they were saying, and ordered some. First, it is the best-tasting drink I've tried. I wasn't in need of a boost that day, so I didn't really test the effects until the second can a few days later. I had taken a midnight break from gaming and was starting to get tired. I decided I'd give Brain Toniq a real test. I'd been up for 17 hours so far and was hoping to get another 4 hours. Man, Brain Toniq delivered, and without any of the typical energy drink side effects (jittery or on edge). I was up for another 5 hours, but strangely I was able to sleep when I was done playing, and I didn't feel dehydrated the next morning. I am impressed that this is possible without caffeine."
Ryan Green, Lawrence, Kansas - Monday, March 31, 2008"I absolutely love this. I had gotten so tired of crashing in the afternoon because of overconsuming coffee. Brain Toniq is amazing. Thank you guys."
Stef, California"I have to tell you how impressed I am with Brain Toniq. It's a total breakthrough in clarity enhancement and the cool citrus taste is so refreshing. Way to go... only the best safe natural ingredients at a reasonable price, this is what it's all about. Thanks for sticking with developing just the right formula and for keeping it natural."
Dr. K Welch, Ph.D, Georgia"Brain Toniq is quite literally the best function drink I've tried, and it gave me such a clean, energized feeling. I wasn't jittery and I had a zen-like" focus throughout the day. I would drink it every day if it were available here in the Bay Area."
Jeremy Cain, One Stop Logistics"Well I can't believe I'm writing to say this, but this drink really works. My short-term memory has seen an improvement. For the last few years, I would go to do something and then just stare like a deer in the headlights. Now I'm actually remembering what I was planning on doing. You've done well with this Brain Toniq formula. I'll be reordering on a regular basis."
Dr. D Bigelow, Ph.D."As a heavy coffee drinker, I had my doubts that Brain Toniq could add to any increased mental capacity better than my early-morning double espresso. But it really worked. Brain Toniq feels like it increases circulation in my head. I find I focus and stay focused longer. The effect lasts me about 90-120 minutes, which is often the amount of time for the intense kind of work I do."
Allen Park, attorney"I get nicely focused after drinking a can of Brain Toniq. It has a good balance of sweetness and flavor and best of all it has no processed sugars or caffeine. But most of all, it actually works. And the taste is really enjoyable. I'm craving one now! "
Alykhan Jetha, CEO, MarketCircle, makers of Daylite software for Macintosh"At 52, I can no longer drink caffeine. Even green tea gives me the jitters. But Brain Toniq really works for me. No strange effects, just a calm, centered feeling that allows me to work (I'm an artist) without distractions. I'm not sure which of the ingredients does the trick, maybe it's the synergy of all of them."
Erin Douglas"I’m breezing with this new Brain Toniq. Just incredible. Getting through all the tasks and stuff I’ve been wanting to get through this week, without the hyper effects of coffee and no sense of urgency one gets on coffee. You’ve got a nice little mind expansion effect going on with this, but not at all spacey. Nice clarity and focus too. And delicious taste! I want a case or two as soon as possible."
Steve Gagne, author of The Energetics of Food"Last night I drank the brain toniq when I got to Stefan's. I ended up writing a paper and read two chapters of my text book. I actually sat down for 2 hours and concentrated. I am the brain toniq poster child."
Kathryn, 22-year old student"I have always had the ability to sit down in front of my computer and take care of business. But after drinking one can of Brain Toniq, I found my ability was taken to the next level. I had a more focused approached on the task at hand which literally lasted for an hour. At that point, I was done with my tasks. The fact that you used outrageously expensive organic agave for sweetening shows your level of commitment to health. Well done, guys. You hit a home run with this."
Steven Harrel, CEO, Sophic Web Design"Part of me does NOT believe that Brain Toniq has no caffeine — because man was I ACTIVE when I drank it yesterday! And the day before that, Brain Toniq was the ONLY thing that kept me awake throughout my project (I pulled an all-nighter). Also I like the taste, very refreshing and light. My email feedback to you is: VERY GOOD!"
Bryn Evans, 9th grader, Moscow, Idaho(left on our answering machine): "Hello, I am calling with a Brain Toniq example of the results I'm getting. This morning at around 8am, I drank a Brain Toniq. It is now almost 2pm, and I have been buzzing around like a little bee all day. I've had one of the most stressful weeks of my life this past week, yet I am just flying... but not in a caffeine way. Instead, I suggest to you that what you've created is not just a mind drink, but a functional mood elevator, given the experience I've been having with it these past 7 days. My mind is far more able to focus, and my mood is more upbeat than I could ever have imagined, given the stress I'm going through. I am passing Brain Toniq cans out to everyone in my practice, and I just wanted you to know. "
Dr. Carole B, PhD., Hawaii"What an interesting experience. I am finding Brain Toniq refreshing. Bracing! It has replaced my afternoon cup of tea. I am noising it among my curious friends and acquaintances."
Huston Smith, author of Cleansing the Doors of Perception"I had to write and tell you how much I am enjoying the Brain Toniq. I am a computer programmer, and I have been a heavy coffee/caffeine drinker for many years. Since I started my daily can of Brain Toniq, I haven't had anything with caffeine. My head is clear and my thoughts are fast... and I've had no "caffeine withdrawal" headaches. Thanks for the great product. Please send us two more cases."
Amos Olson, Cody, Wyoming"[A friend shared a] Toniq about 5:00pm. I caught an 8:40 plane & it was a little after 10:00 when I started driving home from Reno. I always drive through Virginia City & down Six Mile Canyon, because it's much shorter although the roads are really twisty. Usually when I come home late from a trip I'm tired I my perception/coordination is trashed. So my driving is a little loopy. That brain drink was so effective I was completely alert & carved up the corners like my Jeep was a Maserati. Amazingly effective - especially given no caffeine. We ordered a couple cases on Monday."
LV"I am a food scientist with an MBA in marketing, and I can tell you honestly— Brain Toniq is a well-formulated product. It also tastes great."
Scott Hagerman, President, ChemiNutraI love Brain Toniq before I have to go out. It's like the push-up bra for my brain; it gives me that mental boost to face people. I find more and more ways where to use its effectiveness. I'll be lying around the house, wishing I could stay there and not go back to work, and then I'll think, "hmm, Brain Toniq" and boom, to the rescue. This is really an interesting little elixir.
Joann Tomasulo, Buffalo, NY
