Las Vegas, NV, Sept. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The permanent U.S. lineup brings Neuro’s signature Energy & Focus formula to Sour Apple, Sour Citrus and Sour Berry, with 40mg of natural caffeine, 60mg of L-theanine and zero sugar per mint.
Neuro, the functional wellness brand known for its portable gum and mint formats, today announced the U.S. launch of Neuro Energy & Focus Sour Mints, a permanent extension of its Energy & Focus line that pairs the brand’s established functional formula with a bold new sour flavor experience.
Designed for adults looking for a portable alternative to traditional energy formats, the new Sour Mints are available in three flavors: Sour Apple, Sour Citrus and Sour Berry. Each mint contains 40mg of natural caffeine, 60mg of L-theanine, 0.7mg of vitamin B6 and 2mcg of vitamin B12. The mints are also zero sugar, aspartame-free, gluten-free and vegan.
Neuro Energy & Focus Sour Mints take the formula consumers already know and give it a bolder, more playful flavor experience. The launch is intended to appeal to adult consumers who enjoy sour flavors while looking for a compact format that can fit into work, study, travel and other busy-day routines.
“Neuro has always been about making functional energy easier to carry and easier to use in real life,” said Kent Yoshimura, Co-Founder and CEO of Neuro. “With Sour Mints, we kept the Energy & Focus formula our customers know and gave it a bolder personality. It is sour enough to feel like a treat, but designed for adults who want more from the mints they reach for during a busy day.”
A Bold Flavor Direction for Neuro Energy & Focus
Neuro Energy & Focus Sour Mints build on the brand’s established Energy & Focus formula with a bolder, more flavor-forward experience. The sour profile offers a more expressive alternative to conventional mint flavors while maintaining the convenience of Neuro’s existing Energy & Focus lineup.
The company sees the launch as an opportunity to bring together two consumer experiences that don’t often live in the same product: bold sour flavor and portable functional energy.
Unlike conventional sour confectionery, Neuro Sour Mints are formulated as functional mints for adults. And unlike many drink-based energy products, the mint format is designed to be compact and convenient. The new products complement Neuro’s existing Energy & Focus gum and mint offerings rather than replacing them, giving consumers an additional flavor option within the broader range.
Three Permanent Sour Flavors
The initial permanent Sour Mints lineup includes:
- Sour Apple, offering a sharp fruit-forward sour profile
- Sour Citrus, bringing a bright citrus-inspired flavor
- Sour Berry, combining berry flavor with the line’s sour character
Across all three flavors, the Energy & Focus formula remains consistent at 40mg of natural caffeine and 60mg of L-theanine per mint, alongside vitamins B6 and B12. The launch is aimed at adult consumers navigating moments such as afternoon work sessions, studying, commuting, travel and other occasions where a convenient format may be preferable to preparing or carrying a beverage.
Expanding Portable Functional Wellness
Founded in 2015 by Kent Yoshimura and Ryan Chen, Neuro has built its product portfolio around functional gum and mint formats intended to fit into everyday routines. The company’s broader lineup includes products developed around different use occasions, including energy and focus, calm and clarity, memory and focus, and sleep and recharge.
With Energy & Focus Sour Mints, Neuro is extending its established Energy & Focus platform through flavor rather than introducing a separate functional concept. The company says the goal is to make the experience more expressive while maintaining the convenience and formula associated with the existing line.
Neuro Energy & Focus Sour Mints are rolling out in the United States as a permanent addition to the company’s portfolio.
