We are looking for volunteers to join our Brain Upgrade Project. All it takes is a pin prick of blood using a home test kit to measure your homocysteine (B vitamin status), omega-3, vitamin D and HbA1c (glucose control). Optimising these are associated with the lowest risk for Alzheimer’s and the best brain function. Only by doing this research can we truly find out what the optimal levels really are and what diet and lifestyle changes improve your results.

As well as recording your changes, hopefully improvements over time of your cognitive function via the Cognitive Function Test (CFT) you just did, and your Dementia Risk Index (DRI) via the online questionnaire you’ve completed, we want to record your blood levels of the four most essential markers of brain health. Combined together this is your Dementia Risk Index functional Test (DRiFT) score. This is recorded in your DASHBOARD.

This information is vital for you to optimise your brain health, and vital for our research to establish what really prevents age-related cognitive decline and ultimately Alzheimer’s. By becoming a ‘citizen scientist’ in joining this project you also join COGNITION (and receive educational guidance to ‘upgrade your brain’ by dementia-proofing your diet and lifestyle.

As a COGNITION subscriber you receive one month’s free membership with every test kit you buy. Join COGNITION.

We will advise you what to do – eat and supplement – to optimise your test results.
