Who Needs Serotonin Nutrients

Do you regularly experience stressful moments, struggle with recurring infections or experience unhealthy levels of inflammation? If so, you may not be producing healthy levels of serotonin. This is because in times of stress, infections or inflammation, your body uses tryptophan to support a healthy immune response.

Modern living affects our mood, sleep, cravings and digestion. Research is indicating that common lifestyle factors are decreasing levels of serotonin.

Why are serotonin levels important? Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that:

Supports healthy levels of inflammation
Supports normal feelings of calm and happiness
Supports healthy sleep duration as serotonin converts to melatonin
Supports healthy libido vs excessive desire
Supports healthy duration of male orgasm vs premature
Supports relaxation vs being obsessive or compulsive about things
Is found in your gut in high amounts where it supports healthy appetite
Supports healthy movement of your stool through your digestive tract

If you can relate to one or more of the following statements, then Serotonin Nutrients may be helpful for you in supporting healthy serotonin levels:^†

I want to support a positive mood

I am impatient

I fixate over things that I know shouldn’t bother me

I occasionally experience headaches

I struggle to be upbeat and positive especially during the Fall and Winter months

I want to support occasional nervousness or unease

I have cravings, especially for carbohydrates, alcohol or sweets

I have excessive sexual desire

I tend to fall asleep well but wake up an hour or two after falling asleep

I want to support healthy stress levels

I tend towards occasional constipation

I have a fast MAOA or MAOB gene

My immune system is always busy working on something

I receive little exposure to sunlight

My diet is low in tryptophan (found in milk, cheese, tuna, poultry, oats, eggs, nuts and seeds)

I do not consume optimal amounts of vitamin B6 (found in fish, beef, poultry, starchy vegetables, chickpeas, bananas)

I have low vitamin D levels

If you are lacking serotonin, you may crave foods and behaviors that increase serotonin levels. This leads to an increase in the consumption of carbs, sweets or other addictive foods and behaviors. By supporting balanced serotonin levels, Serotonin Nutrients may support healthy food and behavior choices.^†

Maybe you have tried to take 5-HTP to support a healthy mood and it hasn’t worked. Why? It may be that making serotonin is not enough for you. Your body needs to get serotonin where it needs to go and that is delivered, and bound, to the serotonin receptors.

If you have been searching for a comprehensive serotonin support supplement, you have found what you are looking for with Serotonin Nutrients.^†

Key Ingredients In Serotonin Nutrients

HTPurity^TM: Patented 5-HTP, the direct precursor for Serotonin^†
Safr’inside (R ^™) Saffron extract: Supports healthy levels of serotonin^†
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxyl-5-Phosphate): Cofactor for DDC enzyme that makes serotonin^†
Inositol: Supports healthy serotonin receptor signaling^†

Why Serotonin Nutrients Works

Why Serotonin Nutrients Works

Utilizing necessary nutrient cofactors, saffron extract, curcumin, and inositol, this complex formula is a unique serotonin support supplement.^†

Serotonin Nutrients works by providing a 4-prong approach to supporting serotonin levels:^†

Conservation
Synthesis
Enhancement
Persistence

The targeted ingredients of Serotonin Nutrients have specific functions:

Niacin and Curcugen®, a clinically researched curcumin extract, both work to conserve tryptophan, and thus, serotonin levels.^†
The essential nutrients (5-HTP and vitamin B6) are used by the AADC enzyme to synthesize serotonin.^†
Inositol supports healthy serotonin receptor signaling, and thus, enhancement of serotonin.^†
Safr’Inside^TM, a patented saffron extract that supports the maintenance of healthy serotonin levels by slowing the reuptake of serotonin from the synapse.^†

To make serotonin, your body needs the AADC enzyme to function. This enzyme requires 5-HTP and vitamin B6 as P-5-P. If these nutrients are unavailable, your AADC cannot function and thus, low serotonin is the consequence.^†

Let’s say you have sufficient 5-HTP and vitamin B6 as P-5-P. You still may have low serotonin troubles.

Here’s why. Once serotonin is made, it is passed into the synapse where it travels and binds to serotonin receptors. Once serotonin is bound to the receptor, only then can you experience the effects of serotonin. Of course, a couple things may prevent serotonin from binding to the receptor.

Serotonin can be broken down by your MAOA and MAOB enzymes. This is more common in people that have “fast” MAOA and MAOB activity.
Serotonin can be removed out of the synapse by the serotonin transporter.

Neither of these options are good if you are experiencing symptoms of low serotonin. Remember, in order to experience the effects of serotonin, it must bind to the serotonin receptor. Receptor binding cannot occur if serotonin is broken down or removed by the serotonin transporter. Your body has gone to all the work of making serotonin for you, yet you receive none of the benefits.

This is where Safr’Inside^TM comes to the rescue. For centuries, cultures around the globe have found success in supporting a healthy mood with the herb saffron. Research is now explaining why. The compounds found in the patented Safr’Inside^TM ingredient used in Serotonin Nutrients appear to slow down important enzymes. Both of the MAOA and MAOB enzymes are slowed down by saffron which helps keep serotonin in the synapse longer. Saffron also slows the reuptake of serotonin by inhibiting the activity of the serotonin SLC6A4 transporter. This transporter is responsible for removing more serotonin from the synapse. If serotonin is removed from the synapse, it’s not available to bind to serotonin receptors. Thus, this saffron derived ingredient supports serotonin traveling, and binding to, the serotonin receptors.^†

Once bound to the receptors, serotonin initiates a signaling process that relies on inositol to carry out its function. Serotonin Nutrients includes this important ingredient.^†

Niacin Flushing: This formula contains niacin. When taken on an empty stomach, a healthy response to niacin supplementation may include mild blushing, warming, or tingling of the skin. This can appear on the ears, face, arms, torso, or occasionally on the legs. Commonly referred to as a "niacin flush", this harmless response normally dissipates within an hour. It is related to niacin's role in vasodilation (widening of blood vessels). Vasodilation leads to better circulation, capillary flushing, and increased blood flow to the surface of the skin. To minimize or prevent flushing, consider taking this supplement with food or in divided doses.^†

How to Enhance Serotonin Nutrients

Consider Pulsing

Dr. Ben Lynch recommends using certain dietary supplements based on your need for them. Start with a partial serving and increase slowly over time to the full serving, only if needed. When you start feeling good, consider reducing the serving size, skipping days, or pausing supplementation. Then take again when you feel you need it (stressful day, traveling, chemical exposure, etc.), hence "pulsing." Work with your qualified healthcare practitioner to determine what's best for you.
