In 1995 a young boy was reading a book given to him by his father called Mega Brain Power, by Michael Hutchison. This was the book which started his journey into the wonderful world of nootropics.

.

Mega Brain Power introduced the idea of nootropics a good 20 years before they become a mainstream subject. This is where he came across the term "nootropic" for the very first time.

.

Being fascinated with all things related to the mind, he also started using a cognitive enhancement machine which worked with "binaural beats", to change his brain waves and improve his mental performance.

.

All the while he devoured any book he could find on the topic of self-help, and read many of the classics. 

.

This early interest in the mind and in self-improvement, together with his love of biochemistry in school and his interest in health and nutrition from his mom's side, led him to go on to complete a BSc in Biochemistry at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. 
.

It was whilst he was at university that he started developing his first supplement, a multivitamin. The idea behind this multivitamin was to make an all-in-one supplement which contained the best of the best ingredients and which was designed to incorporate the latest breakthroughs in the field of nutrition. 

.

This supplement needed to be the embodiment of perfection. This was not a commercially designed product, but a revolutionary design made from a purist, and perhaps idealistic, point of view.

.

It needed to be easy to use, it needed to address the entire body as well as the mind, and it needed to be safe to use for all ages. 

.

From university he then decided to enter into the field of counseling and personal development, so as to further his understanding of the mind and the human condition. 

.

Along his journey he learned an incredible number of things about human behavior, the mind, the flaws of the mind, counseling and also about critical thinking (the ability to think logically about things). 

.

From there he started consulting as a practitioner in a health shop, where he learned much about what people desire from supplements. From the wealth of customer feedback he could see for himself which supplements worked, what didn't work, and what sort of health supplements were needed but were lacking on the market. 

.

All during this time of building experience in different healing modalities he continued developing different supplements. Whilst each supplement he developed seemed to be very different from the other, the making of each was teaching him all the valuable things he needed to know in order to finalize his ultimate creation, The Nootropic Multi. 

.

Inspired by a mix of intuition, knowledge, customer feedback, personal experience and a genuine intention to bring about healing; he put together the multivitamin which is changing people's lives.
