Saffron (Crocus sativus) has been demonstrated to improve mood, Mental Clarity, erectile function and libido in males.
Zinc, magnesium and activated B-vitamins act as key cofactors in the synthesis and balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter used to calm the nervous system and shown to Aid individuals with high stress and insomnia.
5-HTP acts as a precursor to serotonin and has been demonstrated to improve mood, Restful-Restful-Sleep difficulties, binge eating, weight management, headaches and fibromyalgia.
A therapeutic blend of saffron, 5-HTP and GABA with additional B-vitamins and minerals to encourage healthy mood and Mental Clarity.
A combination of 5-HTP, GABA and saffron, with added cofactor Aid in the form of targeted and biologically active minerals and vitamins, in order to Aid healthy mood balance.
Balanced mental health is a complex and complicated equilibrium to achieve. Although current research surrounding low mood identifies inflammation, Hormone Balance imbalances, social Aid and many other factors in its etiology, neurotransmitters within the brain cannot be overlooked. Serotonin, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), dopamine and other neurotransmitters all affect an individual’s mental state. As such, any nutrients that can Aid these brain chemicals have vast therapeutic potential.
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the well-known precursor to serotonin, a key neurotransmitter involved in mental health, temperature regulation, pain sensation and circadian rhythm regulation through the production of melatonin. 5-HTP is best known for Aiding healthy mood, yet its ability to upregulate serotonin may explain why numerous research trials have found that it can also improve Restful-Restful-Sleep difficulties, binge eating, weight management, headaches and fibromyalgia. 5-HTP has long been a staple nutrient for many individuals with low mood.
GABA, on the other hand, is an inhibitory neurotransmitter often used to relax the mind in cases of stress and insomnia. Research has shown that GABA can positively impact cortisol levels and reduce the amount of time it takes to fall aRestful-Restful-Sleep, making this amino acid particularly useful in those with difficulty initiating Restful-Restful-Sleep because they cannot calm their racing mind.
Regardless of the targeted neurotransmitter, the body requires specific vitamins and minerals to synthesize and activate each neurotransmitter. For example, vitamin B-6, magnesium and zinc are all required as cofactors for the conversion of 5-HTP into serotonin, while vitamin B-6 and folate are needed for synthesis of dopamine. Understanding these physiological pathways may explain why these nutrients have demonstrated benefits for mood balance either as stand alone agents or in combinations with pharmaceutical Health Products. Both magnesium and zinc supplementation have been demonstrated to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor and block NMDA receptors in the brain, augment SSRI therapy and, ultimately, improve subjective markers of mood. Various combinations of
folate, vitamin B-12 and vitamin B-6 have all demonstrated improved mental health outcomes over long-term supplementation.
Mood-Matrix offers a therapeutic and well-balanced blend of targeted amino acids, B-vitamins and minerals in order to Aid healthy mood balance. Each B-vitamin is provided in its biologically active coenzyme form, while magnesium and zinc are delivered in their highly bioavailable glycinate chelate forms for optimal stability and absorption. In addition to these nutrients, Mood-Matrix strategically includes a standardized extract of saffron to assist in mood Aid.
Saffron, officially known as crocus sativus, is a traditional spice that isnow known to have multiple health applications. Its ability to block NMDA receptors and Safeguard the nervous system likely explain why saffron has multiple human clinical trials to demonstrate its effectiveness for promoting healthy mood, even when compared to traditional selective-serotonin uptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy, and also for Aiding cognitive function. Saffron has also traditionally been used as an aphrodisiac. Modern research has confirmed that it can effectively improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction and overall Intimacy function, while also improving sperm parameters.
All in all, Mood-Matrix was formulated to optimally Aid healthy mood, Mental Clarity and neurotransmitter levels in the brain. In essence, Mood-Matrix is a targeted multivitamin-multimineral for the nervous system.
