BrainMatter Cognitive and Calm Receive Double Recognition at the Vegan Choice Awards 2025
Creating specialised products means recognising that different people have different needs. Rather than developing a single formula to do everything, we chose to create two distinct formulations—one designed to support cognitive performance throughout the day, and another focused on promoting calm, relaxation and restorative rest in the evening.
We're proud that both BrainMatter Cognitive and BrainMatter Calm received five-star recognition at The Vegan Choice Awards 2025, celebrating the quality, transparency and plant-based philosophy behind both formulations.
About The Vegan Choice Awards
The Vegan Choice Awards recognise products that demonstrate excellence in vegan innovation, quality and consumer value across a wide range of categories.
Products are assessed not only on their ingredients, but also on formulation, performance and their contribution to raising standards within the plant-based industry.
For us, this recognition reinforces our belief that consumers shouldn't have to compromise between premium supplementation and vegan principles.
Recognising Two Specialised Formulas
Although they share the same commitment to quality, BrainMatter Cognitive and BrainMatter Calm were created with different purposes in mind.
BrainMatter Cognitive was recognised for its carefully selected blend of nootropics and essential nutrients that support focus, memory and everyday cognitive performance.
BrainMatter Calm was recognised for its thoughtfully balanced combination of botanicals and nutrients that help support emotional balance, relaxation and restorative rest.
Receiving recognition for both products highlights the strength of our approach—developing specialised formulations that are designed with clear, evidence-led objectives rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Built on the Same Standards
Every BrainMatter formulation is guided by the same principles that define the Balance8 philosophy:
- Premium, carefully sourced ingredients.
- Transparent formulations with purposeful dosages.
- 100% vegan.
- Free from unnecessary fillers.
- Independently tested for quality and safety.
These standards remain at the heart of every product we develop, regardless of the health goal it is designed to support.
Looking Ahead
The Vegan Choice Awards 2025 recognise more than two individual products—they recognise the philosophy behind them.
As Balance8 continues to grow, we'll remain committed to creating specialised wellness products that combine science-led formulation with premium ingredient quality and complete transparency.
We're grateful to The Vegan Choice Awards for recognising both BrainMatter Cognitive and BrainMatter Calm, and we're excited to continue raising the standard for vegan wellness.
