Key Vitamins and Their Benefits
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) - 72mg per packet
Vitamin C is a crucial antioxidant that supports the immune system, aids in the absorption of iron, and promotes healthy skin. Studies have shown that regular intake of Vitamin C can reduce the duration and severity of colds [1]. Furthermore, Vitamin C plays a vital role in collagen synthesis, which is essential for the maintenance of skin, blood vessels, and bones [2]. By bolstering your body’s defenses, Vitamin C ensures you stay healthy and vibrant.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride) - 0.3mg per packet
Vitamin B1 is essential for energy metabolism and the proper functioning of the nervous system. It helps convert nutrients into energy, ensuring that your body runs efficiently. A deficiency in thiamine can lead to fatigue, irritability, and serious neurological issues. By including thiamine hydrochloride, Healthmasters’ Purple Sticks help support energy and mental sharpness [3].
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Riboflavin is vital for energy production and cellular function. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Riboflavin is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and eyes. It helps in the breakdown of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, which provides the energy needed for growth and repair of body tissues [4]. Furthermore, studies have shown that riboflavin may help alleviate symptoms and causes of certain migraine headaches [5].
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) - 6mg per packet
Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, supports brain function, skin health, and reduces inflammation. It is known for its ability to improve the appearance of aging skin by enhancing the skin barrier and reducing redness [6]. Additionally, niacinamide plays a role in lowering cholesterol levels and improving cardiovascular health [7]. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for maintaining overall wellness.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) - 0.5mg per packet
Vitamin B6 is involved in over 100 enzyme reactions in the body, primarily related to protein metabolism. It is crucial for brain health, as it helps produce neurotransmitters that regulate emotions. Adequate B6 levels are associated with improved cognitive function and reduced risk of depression. Pyridoxine also helps regulate homocysteine levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases [8].
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) - 170mc DFE (100mcg folic acid) per packet
Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, making it crucial during periods of rapid growth such as pregnancy. It also supports cardiovascular health by regulating homocysteine levels. Folic acid supplementation can prevent neural tube defects in newborns and reduce the risk of heart disease [9]. Its role in cell growth and repair makes it vital for maintaining healthy tissues.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) - 1,000mcg per packet
Vitamin B12 is vital for nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. A deficiency in B12 can lead to anemia and neurological issues. Methylcobalamin, an active form of B12, is particularly effective in supporting brain health and cognitive function [10]. It also plays a role in reducing homocysteine levels, thus supporting cardiovascular health [11].
Vitamin B5 (Calcium D-Pantothenate) - 2mg per packet
Vitamin B5 is essential for the synthesis of coenzyme A, which is crucial for fatty acid metabolism. It also supports adrenal function and helps maintain healthy skin. Research has demonstrated that Vitamin B5 can improve wound healing and reduce cholesterol levels [12]. Its role in energy metabolism and hormone production makes it a key nutrient for overall health.
Chromium (Chromium Picolinate) - 100mcg per packet
Chromium is a trace mineral that enhances insulin action and plays a role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Chromium picolinate supplementation, along with biotin, can improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes [13]. It also supports healthy cholesterol levels and weight management [14]. By regulating blood sugar levels, chromium helps maintain steady energy throughout the day.
The Power of Superfoods and Extracts
Acai Powder (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) - 1,000mg per packet
Acai berries are renowned for their high antioxidant content, which helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation. The acai berry is packed with anthocyanins, which give it its deep purple color and powerful health benefits. These antioxidants play a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals, protecting your cells from damage. Research has shown that acai powder can improve cholesterol levels and boost brain function [15]. The antioxidants in acai berries also support heart health and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases [16]. Additionally, acai has been found to enhance cognitive function and may even protect against neurodegenerative diseases [17]. Incorporating acai powder into your diet can provide a significant boost to your overall health and well-being.
Super Fruit Blend - 500mg per packet
Our super fruit blend includes pomegranate powder, mango powder, grape powder, and apple powder, each offering unique health benefits:
- Pomegranate: Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, pomegranate has been shown to improve heart health [18]. The polyphenols in pomegranate can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting cardiovascular health.
- Mango: Packed with vitamins A and C, mango supports immune function and skin health. Mangoes contain enzymes that aid digestion and improve nutrient absorption, making them a valuable addition to our blend [19].
- Grape: Grape powder is high in antioxidants, particularly resveratrol, which has been linked to improved cardiovascular health and anti-aging effects [20]. Resveratrol helps protect the heart by reducing blood pressure and preventing arterial damage [21].

Each component of our super fruit blend contributes to a comprehensive approach to health, ensuring a wide range of nutrients and antioxidants.
Super Extract Blend - 500mg per packet
Our super extract blend includes green tea extract, mate extract, grape extract, and apple extract, standardized to specific beneficial compounds:
- Green Tea Extract: Standardized to 30% caffeine, green tea extract is known for its antioxidant and metabolism-boosting properties. Studies have shown that it can enhance fat burning and improve brain function. The catechins in green tea extract also support heart health by reducing cholesterol levels and improving blood flow [23].
- Mate Extract: Also standardized to 30% caffeine, mate extract provides a balanced stimulant effect without the jitteriness associated with coffee. It is rich in antioxidants and has been shown to improve mental focus and energy levels. Mate extract can enhance physical performance and reduce fatigue, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a natural energy boost [24].
- Grape Extract: Standardized to polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, grape extract supports cardiovascular health and has anti-inflammatory properties. The polyphenols in grape extract can improve endothelial function and reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol [25].
- Apple Extract: Standardized to polyphenols and phloridzin, apple extract supports metabolic health and provides antioxidant protection. Phloridzin helps regulate blood sugar levels by inhibiting the absorption of glucose in the intestines, making it beneficial for managing diabetes and metabolic syndrome [26].
The Benefits of Super Caffeine Blend - 85mg per packet
Our super caffeine blend, derived from green tea and mate extracts, provides a more balanced and sustained energy boost compared to traditional coffee. The caffeine from these sources is released more gradually, reducing the likelihood of energy crashes and jitters. Research indicates that caffeine from green tea can improve cognitive function and support weight loss efforts by enhancing metabolic rate [27]. For many, mate extract also provides a smooth, sustained energy increase, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a natural alternative to coffee. Mate tea consumption has been shown to improve blood sugar and cholesterol in people with type-2 diabetes or prediabetes [28]. The combination of these two caffeine sources ensures that you remain alert and focused throughout the day without the adverse effects often associated with coffee.
