Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (Vitamin B6)

Involved in the metabolism of amino acids and glycogen. It is a coenzyme in the synthesis of nucleic acids, hemoglobin, neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine,norepinephrine and gama-aminobutyric acid) and many other compounds. P 5’-P is a coenzyme for over 100 enzymes, including the transaminases (some liver specific) and decarboxylases. Along with folic acid and Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6 lowers homocysteine. Lower levels of homocysteine are associated with healthy cardiovascular function.

L-Theanine

A non-protein amino acid found naturally in Camillia sinensis (Green tea). L-Theanine has mood-modulating activity and modest antioxidant activity. Its effects on mood modulation may be through direct effects on Gaba receptors or through effects on the metabolism and release of other neurotransmitters, such as dopamine. Another benefit of LTheanine is its ability to enhance alpha wave activity of the brain. Alpha waves have a mood modulating benefit while maintaining alertness.

Adverse reactions/Precautions: There are no known adverse reactions to L-Theanine.

GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid)

An inhibitory amino acid that acts directly as a neurotransmitter. GABA, like LTheanine has mood modulating activity and anti-stress benefits.

Inositol

Also a lipotropic agent. As such it may help protect against increases in total cholesterol and fatty acids in the liver. Inositol favorably supports nervous system health. It seems to have adaptogenic properties, balancing moods and emotions.

Lithium

Present in the human diet in ultratrace amounts and is found in some natural mineral waters and colloidal minerals. Fish, processed meat, milk, milk products, eggs, potatoes and vegetables are rich sources of this mineral. It has been suggested that lithium, at low dosage levels, has a generally beneficial effect on human behavior. High prescription doses are often prescribed for its mood stabilizing effects.
