Serotonin Nutrients contains vitamin B6 and 5-HTP to directly support the serotonergic pathway and the production of serotonin. Without adequate vitamin B6 in the form of Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate, the enzyme (AADC) that makes serotonin cannot function.
Tryptophan is one of the main building blocks in serotonin production. Tryptophan is hard to digest and found in very small amounts in the current human diet. Tryptophan competes with other amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, valine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) for blood brain barrier passage which also inhibits its use in supporting these pathways.
There needs to be a balance of how the limited tryptophan is used in your body.
Serotonin Nutrients is designed to support both the healthy production and function of serotonin. Healthy serotonin levels enable mood support.
In times of excessive inflammation and oxidative stress, the body will “steal” tryptophan down the kynurenine pathway at the expense of serotonin production. To support healthy levels of kynurenine pathway activity, a highly bioavailable form of curcumin called Curcugen® is included in this formula. A deficiency in vitamin B3 or niacin can speed up the kynurenine pathway. Niacin is also included to support a healthy and normal kyurenine pathway speed.
Modern living can affect our mood. It has been shown that exposure to stress, harmful chemicals, as well as poor choices in our diets and lifestyles, can alter how we experience the world. Science is indicating that these things may decrease the levels of our “feel good” chemical in our brains called serotonin. Serotonin can be made in neurons and travels to receptors in the brain that help with normal feelings of calm and happiness.
Serotonin Nutrients includes:†
- The essential nutrients (5-HTP and vitamin B6) to manufacture serotonin.
- Support for a normal inflammatory response (Curcugen curcumin extract) and niacin levels so our body’s stores of tryptophan can be used for serotonin production and not stolen to make Kynurenine and NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
- A patented botanical called Safr’Inside™ that supports the maintenance of healthy serotonin levels all the way to the serotonin receptor.
- Inositol to support healthy serotonin receptor signaling.
