When do mental problems occur?

In addition to social and genetic factors, we can experience feelings of sadness, anxiety, or depression due to an imbalance in neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells in the brain and influence various aspects of our mental state and behavior. One of the main neurotransmitters associated with good mood is serotonin. Another important neurotransmitter is dopamine, which is associated with reward, motivation, and feelings of happiness. In addition to serotonin and dopamine, other neurotransmitters, such as noradrenaline, GABA, and glutamate, may play a role in regulating mood and emotionally balanced behavior. 

What influences our mood and when do we fall into feelings of sadness?

Serotonin is also called the happiness hormone. It is a neurotransmitter that influences how we process our emotions because it is responsible for transmitting signals in the brain. We could simply describe it as a type of neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other functions in the human body. Its optimal level will be reflected in our good mood, enough motivation and energy to get started on things with full force. Serotonin makes us feel important, and conversely, a lack of it can make us feel worried, depressed, but obsessive behavior or sleep disorders may also occur. Its production is dependent on tryptophan, vitamin B6 and B3.

Standardized St. John's wort extract for emotional balance and sleep

St. John's wort is a popular herb known for its anti-stress effects and mental health support. It contains the active substances hypericin and hyperforin, which affect chemical processes in the brain and help stabilize mood . Its use is recommended in periods of increased mental tension and stress, as it helps restore mental balance and improve sleep quality .

S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)

S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is a substance that the body naturally produces from the amino acid methionine in conjunction with adenosine triphosphate (ATP). SAMe plays a key role in many biological processes, including the formation, repair, and maintenance of cell membranes, as well as the production of neurotransmitters.

Vitamin B complex for nervous system support

Vitamins B6, B12, folate and niacin belong to the B vitamin family. They are essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system and play a role in a key role in myelin formation. An insulating material that surrounds nerve fibers and ensures the rapid transmission of nerve signals. Therefore, B vitamins are essential for establishing mental balance.

Holy basil extract standardized to 2% ursolic acid

Holy basil, also known as tulsi or holy basil, is considered one of the most sacred plants in India and is deeply rooted in many Hindu traditions. Traditionally used for strengthening immunity, relieving stress and improving overall vitality and health. It is an adaptogenic herb, which as such helps the body adapt to stress and increase resistance to stress factors. Adaptogens promote balance in the body by normalizing physiological functions that may be disrupted by stress. Thanks to this mechanism, we can better manage stress.

L-Theanine from green tea for better concentration 

L-Theanine is a unique amino acid that occurs naturally in green tea (Camellia sinensis). Thanks to this substance, green tea supports relaxation and mental alertness. It kicks in nicely. mental and physical performance and effectively protects against stress. If you are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine and react to coffee or yerba mate with a scattered mind, L-theanine from green tea is a great help. It helps to alleviate some of the negative effects of caffeine, such as irritability or nervousness, and will support greater concentration. All this without feeling distracted .

Folate for normal mental function

Folate is key for the production of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells. These include neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline, which are involved in the regulation of mood, emotions, and cognitive function. Additionally, folate helps regulate the function of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands, which are key parts of the nervous system responsible for responding to stress. It also has an effect on cognitive functions such as memory and mental acuity. For folic acid supplementation to be truly effective, it must be in its active form. It is a form that our body can use immediately. Folate is the active form of vitamin B9 that is best utilized by the body. Unlike folic acid, methyl folate is used in our body without loss or problems.
