CONCENTRATION AID

Actimel Mind with Guarana, £1/100g Waitrose

THIS contains guarana, an Amazonian fruit with caffeinated seeds, probiotic yoghurt, with ‘billions of Lcasei cultures’, and vitamins B6 and D and B5 ‘to support normal mental performance’.

EXPERT OPINION: ‘the guarana provides 50mg caffeine — around the same as a cup of instant coffee, and caffeine is known to boost mental alertness. this bottle will also provide around 15 per cent of your daily vitamin B6, 5 per cent of vitamin B5 and 7.5 per cent of vitamin D — all important for energy and concentration. L’casei cultures can help foster healthy gut microflora, but some will be destroyed by the digestive process.

TASTE: Slightly smoky, unsweetened yoghurt flavour. 6/10
