WakeUp creator Eli Faraggi designed the formula as a next-generation solution for the rapidly growing $40 billion energy drink industry.
“While energy drink sales are on the rise, we believe there is a growing demand for safe, science-based alternatives to the existing caffeine-based beverages that are under review by the FDA and in Europe, ” Faraggi said.
WakeUp, often called a “Post Lunch Waker, ” is a 100 ml, lemongrass-flavored, daily beverage designed to provide a comprehensive solution for the fatigue that occurs during noon time and is known as “Post Lunch Dip” syndrome (P.L.D.). The WakeUp formula is patent-protected and based on natural standardized ingredients already used in nutritional foods and beverages, including guarana, ginkgo biloba, elderberry and a unique apple sugar with a low glycemic index that reduces sugar fluctuation.

P.L.D is embedded in our biological clock. Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., a “sleep gate” is opened in our bodies, as systems slow down and decrease their rhythms. Blood pressure decreases, blood glucose fluctuates and a mild drop of temperature occurs.
WakeUp’s safety and efficacy have been tested in three-clinical trials at two world-renowned institutions, the Rambam Health Care Campus and the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) medical faculty.
