The Science Behind the Drink
The research team behind NAGOMI have over 30 years of experience and expertise in botanical extraction, nutrition, and immunology. Our formulation has been carefully researched and tested, focusing on the gut-brain axis, supporting gut-health, sustained vitality and better mood. It’s science you can feel.
Here’s our summary behind it all.
Gut • Mind • Energy in Action
Good Sugar (Trehalose)
The ‘sugar of life’ that delivers steady energy and supports gut health without blood sugar spikes.
Smooth Focused Lift
L-theanine + ginseng provide calm, sustained energy and natural focus with no crash.
Essential Support
Added B & C vitamins + electrolytes for hydration, recovery and overall balance.
-
Reverse Osmosis water contains less microplastics and forever chemicals which disrupt the gut microbiome and contribute to imbalance.
Trehalose is a prebiotic and as such supports the gut microbiome.
-
Natural caffeine and L-Theanine have shown improvement in sustained attention and overall cognition.
Trehalose is known to have neuroprotective properties.
Unfiltered water may contribute to declining mental health.
-
Research has shown that Trehalose can boost energy and is used by insects for example as a principal body sugar, providing energy for flight.
Guarana is rich in caffeine, which can reduce fatigue and improve focus, providing sustained energy.

Frequently asked questions
-
Many “zero-sugar“zero-calorie” drinks promise health but deliver the opposite. Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame-K are now under review by major health agencies because of growing evidence that they can disrupt the gut microbiome and alter the body’s natural glucose response. Some studies link heavy consumption to increased appetite and metabolic imbalance rather than the control they’re meant to provide.

YES. We use BPANI. Why?
Bisphenol A has well-documented endocrine-disrupting activity - meaning it can mimic or interfere with hormones in the body, even at very low levels

Trehalose is also known as the ‘sugar of life’ and is plucked directly from nature. It’s used in NAGOMI to provide slow releasing energy as the body takes time to break down this ingredient into its component monosaccharides. It promotes autophagy (intermittent fasting) and lowers blood sugar. Trehalose has shown promise as a prebiotic which could have certain benefits for your gut like: improving the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactococcus and Bifidobacterium; helping beneficial bacteria produce bacteriocins, which can promote gut health and reduce the risk of disease; and has antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help enhance the body's antioxidant capacity.
-
There’s mounting evidence that unfiltered water disrupts our microbiome and endocrine systems. RO water, with electrolytes is hydrating and supports nutrient absorption, digestion and mood.

We have extensively researched how fungi, plants and insects manage stress, maintain sustained energy and created our formulation around this logic (to get technical this is called Biomimicry)
-
No, we do not recommend anyone under the age of 16 consume our products.
-
We recommend you drink no more than 2 cans per day. On a normal working day it's good to have one with or just after breakfast, then another around lunch time to see best results.
Is there anything we’ve missed?

A Word From Our Founder
Like many people, I know what it’s like to feel under constant pressure. I spent years in the finance world, juggling deadlines and performance expectations. I was subsequently diagnosed with bipolar disorder that made finding daily balance hard to find. I relied on quick dopamine hits just to get through the day and eventually reached the point where something had to change.
I stepped away and travelled to Northeast Thailand, where I found structure, discipline and community through Muay Thai. For the first time in years, I felt grounded and it marked the start of a much bigger shift.
That experience pushed me into a deeper exploration of energy, mood and balance — through business, teaching, training and a long study of how the body fuels itself. What became clear is that connection is central: the connection between water quality, glucose, the gut and the mind. Clean hydration and the right kind of sugar are not threats; they are fundamental to how we function.
I also saw firsthand how much confusion exists around “healthy” products, especially for women. Too many drinks, sweeteners, cosmetics and even water sources are filled with unnecessary additives, chemicals and contaminants, all marketed as “wellness”.
Nagomi was created as a response: a commitment to clarity and honesty. Clean water. Good sugar. Evidence-led formulation. No artificial shortcuts. A brand built on transparency rather than social media noise.
It’s a reminder that balance is possible, and that you’re not alone in the search for it.
