Activating the Mind, Easing the Joints: The Science of Senior Nutrition

Gisbuer Keep Up

As we age, the brain and joints face parallel challenges — declining cognitive chemistry and degrading cartilage. Gisbuer's Keep Up formula targets both with six clinically-studied nutrients, inspired by Hector's dolphin, the rare and vital New Zealand native.

The vision behind Keep Up is simple: help older adults reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and ease joint discomfort, staying as vibrant as the playful Hector's dolphin. Built on a base of rare 1% dual-certified New Zealand organic milk powder, the formula combines six precious nutritional factors.

The Formula at a Glance

Phosphatidylserine · Algae DHA · Curcumin · Colostrum Basic Protein (CBP) · Collagen Peptides · Calcium — six factors for brain and joint health.

Six Nutritional Factors

FACTOR 01
Phosphatidylserine
A "multifunctional brain booster" and key cell-membrane component of the nervous system. Regulates memory and mood; widely used to address age-related cognitive decline and memory loss.
FACTOR 02
Algae DHA
Known as "brain gold," this Omega-3 fatty acid is a vital component of neural cell membranes. Research suggests DHA may help reduce the incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia.
FACTOR 03
Curcumin
A potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic active. Shows significant pain-relief and anti-inflammatory effects for osteoarthritis and joint disease in older adults.
FACTOR 04
Colostrum Basic Protein
A bioactive protein (just 30KD) that acts directly on bone cells, coordinating osteoblast and osteoclast activity to actively increase bone density.
FACTOR 05
Collagen Peptides
95% of bone is collagen. Small-molecule fish collagen peptides are easily absorbed, reaching bones directly to strengthen density and lubricate cartilage.
FACTOR 06
Calcium
The "reinforced concrete of life." Essential for bone health, nerve function and heart rhythm; helps prevent osteoporosis and age-related bone loss.

Phosphatidylserine: The Brain Booster

As a core component of the cell membrane — especially in the nervous system — phosphatidylserine plays a vital role in regulating brain function, particularly memory and emotional stability. With age, phosphatidylserine and other key brain chemicals gradually decline, weakening memory and cognition.

Its primary benefits include improving brain function and addressing age-related dementia, helping repair brain damage by nourishing and activating brain enzymes, and relieving mental fatigue from cognitive overload.

Curcumin: Nature's Anti-Inflammatory

Extracted from the dried rhizome of turmeric, curcumin offers multiple health benefits — especially for older adults. It can improve brain function and reduce the risk of brain disease, while acting as a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic for osteoarthritis and joint conditions.

As a natural antioxidant, curcumin neutralizes free radicals in the body and promotes the activity of the body's own antioxidant enzymes.

How to Take It

Mix one 18g sachet with 100–150ml of warm water, adjusting to taste. Because Gisbuer adds no solubilising agents, dissolution is best in warm water around 40°C. Recommended: one sachet, once or twice daily.
