I hear you on the pricing. This is probably something you'll do once or twice a day if you make a routine out of it. I intend to get the prices down at scale, but when you put it against other consumer products (RXbar, starbucks coffee

Indeed. Surprisingly my competitors don't get their fruit from its native soil like I do. Just like wine or coffee, soil matters a lot to the quality of fruit.

Very interesting. Could you share more about your experience of sensory processing disorders?

To add some light on this, obesity can be perceived a lot like mental illness - it actually changes your brain chemistry and how you react to your environment. The pattern of brain activity and the excitability of critical brain areas are c

Innovation is all about making life easier :) Once could say what is the point of protein powder or soylent - can't you just eat food? No long term side effects. I'm happy to share a few studies done (1 by Coca-Cola a year ago) if

Thanks Dave! I hope ToDesktop is going well :)

Yeah I understand. That's actually been a pain point for me because that is literally what the fruit is called. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum

I'm sorry but what makes you think all of these comments are fake?

He's a customer, but you can verify that all the other comments are organic.

Yep. It is so small and light I ship it in an envelope with a stamp. It might take a little longer depending on the country, especially eastern Europe. If you want tracking I charge $10 which is still not so bad given the distance. You are

I understand what you mean. It can't be neglected though that obesity actually changes your brain chemistry (I was a neuroscience major and read a lot about this). It's also important to note that behavior is motivated by reward.

I do quite like erythritol. I've hear allulose is good too. You need to be careful though because sugar alcohols like erythritol can cause GI (stomach) issues. The second point still stands, erythritol doesn't enhance flavor and w

Thanks for sharing this knowledge! Will definitely avoid that recommendation in the future. <3

When I pitch my product I like to remind everyone that junk food has been engineered by scientists to be addictive. This is returning the balance back in the favor of healthy food. Fight fire with fire.

I've heard interesting things about what it does to cannabis products...no personal experience though.

I've tried the freeze dried berries as well as the fresh berries. Here's why we are better: 1)Inconsistency of the fruit means you don't know what you'll get. Each dose of Wozi is pre-measured for consistent results. 2)I

I am very happy to hear that it has made such a big difference to your diet! That's what we're here for and it great to have our thesis validated because lots of people didn't think it would actually go there. I worked hard o

Thanks for that feedback! Now I know :D But yes, I don't suggest people to eat lemons, but I think this product can be integrated with whatever you are already eating - Greek yogurt, fruit, coffee, etc.

Could you clarify what you mean?

by Dgetman 6y ago
Absolutely haha. Don't try it with Gatorade! It enhances the artificial taste XD I think what is interesting with this business is that with enough critical mass, user generated content will reveal some really interesting use cases and

You bring up a great point. I studied Neuroscience at Duke university. Your cells adapt to their context and so what you are describing is sensitization. The more sugar you eat, the more you need to "feel" it. The problem is 2&#x2

The issue is with the food itself, not the product. No, I don't recommend eating an entire lemon everyday, but making a lemonade without sugar should be fine. If you're worried, just brush your teeth afterwards. The key is I'

People ask me why don't I make a yogurt line. This is why :D The product is so small and so light I ship it as a letter with a single stamp. If it is going international, it may take a little longer (especially with COVID). UK is ~5-7

To put it simply, yes. Their pills take 5-10 minutes to dissolve. That's all good for the party trick they are advertising, but if you're rushing to get to work or get your kids to school you don't have the time nor patience

Just that :D Since Greek yogurt is acidic, the product will transform the tartness to sweetness and amplify the flavor. You can add some raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc for an extra pop of flavor.

Man, I can't eat greek yogurt without it. So friggin' good.
