Miguel began researching to understand the cause of this negative reaction, especially from a beverage that was supposed to make him feel better, and enhance physical performance. Thorough research stated that most energy drinks which people consume are made from mostly artificial ingredients, as compared to all natural substances. Synthetic caffeine is an ingredient that is made from petroleum jelly, and widely used due to its low cost. This and many other artificial ingredients are associated with numerous health issues, and sometimes death. These energy drinks are marketed in a way to make you “feel better,” whereas they actually create a cycle of dependency, inducing a quick “buzz & crash.”
Determined, with a goal in mind, Miguel set out on a mission to develop a healthy alternative with long lasting energy. Educating consumers on the negative side effects of the widely used artificial ingredients is something that Miguel takes seriously. His passion has allowed him to create an all natural beverage that enhances physical performance, heighten mental alertness, and produce overall positive health benefits. As a result, Fuga Energy was created by utilizing vitamins, herbs, and a natural source of caffeine from Yerba Mate.
