Our brains mediate our world. Inner and outer. They form connections. Govern our bodies. Keep memories alive. Motivate us to follow our passions.
Nurturing our brain is vital, but often neglected. It copes, in spite of high stress, pollution and food with low nutritional value.
At different stages of our life, our brain has different needs. Designed to grow and support your brain, these pure and potent supplements have been chosen by our practitioners for children and for adults.
Ensure you and your family are satiating your hungry brains and optimising your health, so that you can continue making the connections that define you.
B vitamins
B vitamins unite to support your body and brain, improving cognitive function, lifting your mood and building neurotransmitters all the while giving your energy and concentration levels a boost.
Studies show that B vitamins can help prevent burnout and fight stress. Vitamins B6 and B12 have been shown to support better sleep.
Is there anything the B vitamins can’t do?
Our practitioners recommend B Complex a formula suitable for adults. Kids are recommended to get their B vitamins from a multivitamin like Children’s Pure Essentials.
Fish oil
Fish oil works wonders on the infrastructure of the brain. It improves communication between cells, reduces low mood and stress, and enhances overall cognitive performance.
Its ability to revitalise the body, easing sore joints and boosting immunity can help boost the mental health of those with challenges related to these symptoms.
Our practitioners recommend Ultra Pure Fish Oil 1400. This lemon flavoured fish oil is a firm family favourite at IMI. Perfect for enhancing brain power and memory, fish oil could help you unlock your potential. Lifted mood and enhanced concentration for engaged learning. This formula is a great way to ensure fussy eaters are getting the fatty acids they need. Sneak this zesty oil into smoothies, your kids won’t suspect there’s anything fishy going on.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is famous for supporting our skeletons and immunity, but an unsung hero for brain health. In a city limited by skyscrapers and pollutants, these drops are liquid sunshine.
Neuroprotective vitamin D helps support memory in adults, protecting cognitive wellbeing as you age. It’s also able to alleviate stress and boost mood, providing strength from the bones to the brain.
Also essential in childhood, vitamin D is key in neurodevelopment. Insufficient levels of vitamin D in mothers and their children can lead to learning and memory problems.
Klaire’s Micellized Vitamin D3 drops provide easy to adjust doses for the whole family.
Multivitamin
A multivitamin helps ensure your mind and body have all the nutrients they need to function at their best. Multivitamins feature nutrients not mentioned above. Zinc, vitamins A, C and E are all antioxidants, helping mop up free radicals which may otherwise cause damage to your brain.
Our practitioners recommend Twice daily multi for adults, and Children’s Pure Essentials for kids. Taking a multi can help ensure that whatever your diet looks like, you get the nutrients you need for optimal brain function.
