About this supplement
Psychological Function, Stress Response and Nutritional Factors
Psychological function encompasses mood regulation, mental clarity, stress response and the capacity to manage everyday cognitive and emotional demands. These processes are influenced by neurotransmitter activity, hormonal signalling and the availability of specific nutrients. B vitamins, particularly B6, folate and B12, are involved in the synthesis and metabolism of neurotransmitters including serotonin and dopamine. Magnesium contributes to normal neurological function and is involved in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which governs how the body responds to and recovers from stress. The relationship between nutritional status and psychological wellbeing is well documented, and adequate micronutrient status supports the systems involved in managing stress and maintaining normal cognitive function.
Ashwagandha: A Well-Researched Botanical at a Serious Dose
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant whose root has been studied extensively in relation to stress and psychological wellbeing. Its primary active constituents are withanolides, and the concentration of these compounds varies considerably depending on the extraction method and standardisation. Mind Balance uses a 20:1 concentrated root extract standardised to a minimum of 5% withanolides, meaning 250mg delivers the equivalent of 5,000mg of raw ashwagandha root per daily scoop. A specification that reflects a serious ashwagandha inclusion, not a token dose.
Two Active-Form B Vitamins
Vitamin B12 is included as methylcobalamin, the active coenzyme form the body uses directly without conversion, at 100µg per serving (4,000% NRV). Vitamin B6 is included as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P), also the active coenzyme form, at 5mg per serving (357% NRV). Both are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters with established roles in mood and cognitive function.
Six Ingredients, One Clear Purpose
Mind Balance contains six ingredients chosen for their mechanistic relationship through psychological function and nervous system activity. Magnesium citrate, four B vitamins and a standardised ashwagandha extract. Nothing added to make the formula look more comprehensive than it needs to be.
Advanced Microgranule Technology
Mind Balance uses coated microgranules engineered for ingredient stability, no capsules and no tablets. Take the granules directly with water, or mix into yoghurt, juice, a smoothie or breakfast food. Do not mix with hot food or drinks.
Frequently asked questions
Is a scoop included?
Yes. One level scoop is your full daily serving.
How long does one container last?
30 servings, a full month supply at the recommended daily dose of one scoop.
What makes the ashwagandha in Mind Balance different from other products?
The extract is standardised to a minimum of 5% withanolides at a 20:1 concentration, meaning 250mg delivers the equivalent of 5,000mg of raw root. Most ashwagandha supplements use lower doses or unstandardised extracts. This one specifies both the concentration and the withanolide content clearly on the label.
Why methylcobalamin instead of standard B12?
Methylcobalamin is the active coenzyme form of B12, the form the body uses directly without conversion. Standard supplements typically use cyanocobalamin, which requires conversion before use. Methylcobalamin is included here at 100µg per serving (4,000% NRV).
Can I take Mind Balance alongside other GetTested supplements?
Mind Balance contains magnesium (200mg per serving). If you are also taking Magnesium Complex, check your combined daily magnesium intake. It also contains B6 as P5P at 5mg per serving, so avoid combining with B-Complex which contains B6 at a higher dose. Consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
Who should not take Mind Balance?
Not recommended for children, during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you are taking medication or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
How should I store it?
In the original sealed packaging, in a dry place away from light at +5 to +25°C.
