Brain

Many factors such as a lack of nutrients, age, illness, medication, stress, insufficient sleep, sedentary lifestyle and poor gut health can affect how our brain functions. 

As a consequence, many people suffer brain fog, poor concentration, low mood or feeling anxious; and cognitive decline is on the increase.

Nutrients particularly important for brain health include omega-3 fatty acids (the brain is 60% fat) and DHA in particular, which contributes to normal brain function.

Other important nutrients include those which contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system, psychological function, energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of homocysteine – which includes the B-complex vitamins. In addition, adequate antioxidants are important, for example, vitamins C, E, zinc and selenium.

5-HTP Plus

Serotonin is often referred to as the “feel good” hormone.

5HTP can help to increase levels of serotonin, our ‘happy neurotransmitter’ to support mood and feelings of well-being.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally-occurring amino acid which supports the body’s production of serotonin; an important neurotransmitter that helps to relay messages from one area of the brain to another.
