Master your brain health Your brain health impacts everything you do – every thought, action, behaviour and feeling – basically, our ability to function in the world. So, it makes sense to take care of it. To help with this, Revive Active have recently launched a new health supplement called Mastermind. Here, Dr Daniel Jones, Director of R&D at Revive Active, explains the benefits of the groundbreaking product

hether you’re a busy mum, a stressed college student or experiencing forgetfulness with natural aging, Dr Jones says that there are three main essential nutritional components which contribute to the normal functioning of our brain processes, and a lack of these may have a negative impact on how we perform our day-to-day tasks. “Our nutrition really isn’t what it used to be. We’re living busier, faster lives and nutrition often doesn’t become the primary focus within that – there’s a lot of consumption of fast food, alcohol and sugar,
and this can impact the body’s performance of cognitive and memory function. “Recent research at MIT in Cambridge shows that building connections within the brain is the key to healthy brain function, and that this process is heavily dependent on the availability of nutritional components Omega 3 fatty acids DHA, uridine and choline. It’s within these connections that information is stored and memories are made, and high levels of these components in the body are needed to do so more effectively. This is the conception Mastermind was created from.” Collaborating closely with top researchers from the University of Northumbria - the UK’s Brain Performance Nutrition Research Centre - Dr Jones and the Revive Active team looked at many ingredients and suggestions, before finalising a quality end product. Mastermind contains vitamin B12, which contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system; vitamin B5, which contributes to normal mental performance; zinc, which supports normal cognitive function; and the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function. The special form of DHA within Mastermind is extracted from algae, making it unique and suitable for vegetarians. Dr Jones describes the feedback for Mastermind, which was a top four finalist at the coveted Natural & Organic Awards Europe 2016, as “astounding.” “This research has subsequently been
picked up by universities throughout Europe and around the states,” he says. “The formula is very practical and easy for people to use and most people – primarily over the age of 16 – can take it. People who are starting to slip into less optimal states of cognitive function later in their lives, felt that they were much more present and focused after using the supplement, as did students dealing
with the stress of college and exams. “I would advise taking Mastermind in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle. Students and young professionals can take 2-3 sachets a week. People over 40 or 50 should look to five times a week for a couple of weeks, then every other day – the reason being, you need to boost the system first, then maintain it. “Mastermind tastes of oranges and mangos, and you can mix the powered sachet with water or directly in with Revive Active – which is our foundation formula for boosting energy and the immune system, and for healthy skin, hair and nails. Alternatively, it can be mixed with your favourite juice or smoothie. Void of any artificial flavours, additives and with no added sugar, Mastermind aims to deliver high-quality ingredients in the quantity required to boost brain health, while delivering real benefits.” For more information on Mastermind and other Revive Active products, visit www.reviveactive.com
