VITA MOOD
DESCRIPTION
VITA
MOOD, provided by Vitasecrets, is a synergistic
blend of several ingredients to support feelings of
well being. Serotonin, along with its amino acid
precursor, tryptophan, allows the brain to restore
itself to maintain a level mood. The most important
nutrients for serotonin production have been
included in this formula, to help maintain the
brain’s symmetry and stabilize mood.
FUNCTIONS
Serotonin, an important brain neurotransmitter, is
key in the regulation of appetite, mood, and
melatonin production. The presence of serotonin in
the brain is associated with a balanced emotional
state. This is achieved in part by decreasing the
activity of certain excitatory hormones, including
dopamine and noradrenaline. Serotonin also acts as a
satiety signal in the brain, thereby naturally
regulating food intake. Additionally, as a precursor
of melatonin, serotonin is involved in regulating
sleep patterns. Serotonin is unable to cross the
blood-brain barrier and is therefore synthesized in
the brain. Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is a
precursor for the synthesis of serotonin. Tryptophan
crosses the blood-brain barrier and isconverted to
L-5-hydroxytryptophan, which in turn is converted
into serotonin. As a metabolic intermediate in the
conversion of tryptophan into serotonin, 5-HTP can
also serve as a precursor of serotonin.
Although St. John’s Wort has a variety of
traditional uses, extracts of this flowering
perennial are best known for their mood balancing
properties. St. John’s Wort extract is widely
recognized for its positive, supportive effects on
mental and emotional function. As co-enzymes, the B
vitamins are essential components in most major
metabolic reactions. They play an important role in
energy production, including the metabolism of
lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. B vitamins are
also important for blood cells, hormones, and
nervous system function. As water-soluble
substances, B vitamins are not generally stored in
the body in any appreciable amounts (with the
exception of vitamin B-12). Therefore, the body
needs an adequate supply of B
vitamins on a daily basis.
