Summary

In the second part of this Feature, Michael Sharon, Co-Founder of Taika, we talk about “stealth health.” Stealth health is the concept of creating something that tastes great while also providing the body with the nutrients it needs. As Michael explains, they’ve created a type of “trojan horse” for caffeine drinkers by utilizing ingredients such as oat milk and functional mushrooms. Not only does it taste great with health benefits, but each of the three drinks actually contains ingredients that work in favor of focus, calming properties, clarity, energy, and immunity. 
 
In part two, Michael discusses The health benefits of Taika; COVID impacts on the health community;  Adapting your company to the global pandemic; Talking details on the ingredients in Taika drinks; Explaining the adaptations of creating Taika; Describing the functional stack of the drinks; Where to reach Taika; and so much more.
 
Join us while Ramon Vela interviews Michael in Part 2 of this episode and listen to him share the inside story.
