Mood Enhancer (60 C) by Biotics Research
Mood Enhancer addresses serotonin need and supplies important nutritional synergists to support healthy brain function.
Corporation provides targeted nutritional support for healthy serotonin levels. 5-hydroxy tryptophan (5-HTP) is provided to facilitate the synthesis of serotonin. 5-HTP is commonly referred to as the “feel good” neurotransmitter. Higher serotonin levels generally improve carbohydrate cravings and hunger intensity, and should be considered for challenges associated with mood, weight gain, carbohydrate sensitivity, occasional sleeplessness, and even focus. Thiamin supports the oxidation of fuels in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). Decarboxylation of pyruvate, a key step in carbohydrate metabolism, is thiamin dependent. Niacin (as niacinamide) is a precursor to the coenzymes NAD+ and NADP+, and also supports nervous system function. Shortfalls have been associated with undesirable mood and emotional modification. Folate is key to methylation reactions which occur during the formation of epinephrine, choline, carnitine, histones and certain amino acids such as N-methylhistidine. Interestingly, an elevated score on a depressive symptom questionnaire (PHQ score of 10) has been associated with low folate status. Vitamin B12 is required in fatty acid metabolism and in the transfer of methyl groups for methylation reactions. B12 also functions as a coenzyme for numerous enzymes and is essential for the transformation of neurotransmitters. Deficiency has been associated with anxiety, irritability, mental confusion and poor stress response.
