Been kicking around a product idea and want honest feedback before I sink real money into it.

The concept: a mouth-freshening mint (or gum) — regular flavors like mint, citrus — but with Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri, an Ayurvedic herb used for focus/memory) added in. Not marketed as "instant brain boost" — more like a daily habit thing, similar to how people already pop mints throughout the day, except this one has a functional ingredient riding along.

Genuinely asking:

• Would you try something like this, or does "mint + herbal supplement" sound gimmicky to you?
• If you've used Brahmi/Bacopa before (capsules, powder, etc.), did you notice anything, or is it placebo territory for you?
• What would make you not trust a product like this — sketchy claims, unfamiliar ingredient, something else?
• Roughly what would you expect to pay for something like this vs. a regular pack of mints?

Not trying to sell anything here, genuinely trying to figure out if this is a real idea or something that only sounds good in my head. Brutal honesty welcome.
