Neuro is the fastest growing wellness beverage in the US. In keeping with the theme inspired by the wonderful wacky world of the Haus of Gaga, the crowd were “prescribed” one of the functional beverages, including NeuroBliss and NeuroSonic, based on their desired mood. The Ball raised more than a million pounds for the Elton John AIDS Foundation at Elton John’s Windsor residence, Woodside, in Windsor, England
