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 is
converted 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.
