Signs/symptoms of high GABA and the top 12 supplements to lower it
GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body, meaning, it is calming, anti-anxiety and helps you to relax. The feeling of high GABA is best described by you just wanting to sit or lay down and enjoy the day, getting ready to dose off, not having racing thoughts, not being able to be creative…
Signs of low dopamine and the top 5 supplements to increase it
Dopamine is a very important neurotransmitter synthesized in the brain. It is synthesized from phenylalanine, tyrosine or L-DOPA. Tyrosine is converted into L-DOPA via the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), which requires vitamin B6 as a cofactor, and then L-DOPA is converted to dopamine. Once dopamine is released from neurons, free dopamine is pumped out of the…
Coffee, the manliest drink
Coffee is made from roasted coffee beans and can be enjoyed in many different ways, such as with cream or milk, sugar or sweetener, or just plain black. Coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 different countries worldwide. Green (unroasted) coffee beans are one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. The earliest credible evidence…
4 awesome benefits of Vitamin B2. #4 is the deactivation of estrogen
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is a water-soluble vitamin and is very safe and very well tolerated. Riboflavin was discovered in 1920, isolated in 1933, and first made in 1935. Biochemical signs of depletion arise within only a few days of dietary deprivation. Riboflavin ‘5 phosphate (R5P), the active form of B2, is known to be the…
Magnesium – a top dog mineral
Magnesium is a macromineral, which we require quite a large amount of daily. Everyone seems to know the importance of this mineral, yet so many people are deficient. Mg is involved in numerous processes in the body, which includes: heart rhythm vascular tone nerve function muscle contraction and relaxation bone formation energy metabolism – adenosine…
Vitamin B6 for muscle growth and exercise performance
Vitamin B6 is found in plant and animal sources. Plants contain mostly pyridoxine and animals contain mostly pyridoxal. These two forms need to be converted to its active form, pyridoxal 5 phosphate (PLP), by the enzyme, pyridoxal kinase, for it to perform its many important functions. The recommended intake for B6 is 1.7mg daily. However in…

Zinc for building muscle
Zinc, a very important water-soluble trace mineral, is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and even more proteins. Zinc regulates neurotransmitters, behavior, learning & memory, neural development, fuel metabolism, RNA/DNA synthesis, muscle protein synthesis (increase mTOR), growth, hormone production, insulin (involved in the synthesis, storage and release of insulin), fatty acid oxidation, improve hypertension (by…
