Around age 30, adults begin to experience changes in brain function as part of natural development, according to Chesterfield, Mo.-based Nawgan Products LLC. Some effects are mild, such as occasionally misplacing everyday items, but others can be more significant. Although Nawgan functional beverages do not claim to reverse the brain aging process, they were developed specifically to support cognitive function over time, the company says. And when it comes to formulating a functional beverage, it’s not a job just anyone can do.
Kirin Holdings, a Japanese-based global beverage company with annual sales of $25 billion, has invested in U.S.-based Nawgan Products LLC, the maker of functional brain health beverage Nawgan.
