What does Neuro-Natural Serenity do that the other 3 versions do not?
Neuro-Natural Serenity concentrates on your state of mind and your
stress levels. If you find you are suffering from negative thoughts,
depressive tendencies, undue emotional stress then this formula may
help.
It contains specific ingredients such as Valerian, for example, to
combat the restlessness, lack of sleep and agitation often associated
with anxiety and mood disorders. Valerian contains constituents called valerenic acids which are thought to affect GABA receptors (gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate anxiety) that have effects known to decrease the potential need for
benzodiazepine in trial patients.
What difference will I feel?
Neuro-Natural Serenity may be able to help you achieve more
satisfactory rest and a more positive mood. It aims to do this by
rebalancing the neurotransmitters in your brain and nervous system in a
completely natural and relaxed way.
How do I take Neuro-Natural Serenity?
To see the best and most rapid results we suggest that you follow our
'recommended protocol’ suggestions, along with plenty of adequate
physical exercise to oxygenate the body and mind, and a good diet.
It is recommended to take 6 per day of Neuro-Natural Serenity for
optimum effect. Ideally this should be combined with 2 per day of our
Omega 3 DHA/Fish oil if you are able to. Total Balance can also
be added for optimum help.
I have heard that 5-HTP can have side
effects and also interactions with many drugs. You have 247mg in your
Neuro-Natural formula, is this safe?
There is a theoretical possibility of an interaction between 5-HTP and
some anti-depressant drugs (SSRIs). There are very few case reports to
date of any adverse reactions however, in fact we have found no studies
or articles in a well acknowledged database of clinical studies and
medical articles. Nevertheless, there is a lot of information available
on these alleged interactions, which is why we advise a cautionary note
in the event that you are taking related medications.
Please check with us and with your physician prior to taking one of our
Neuro-Natural range (or our Female Rejuvenator) so that we can advise
on interactions and potential dosages. Having said all that, we believe
the risk is very low with our supplements because of the low dose of
5-HTP that we use.
I have a problem with anxiety and panic attacks, will I notice a difference?
Yes, it is very possible you will notice quite a difference. Anxiety
and panic attacks are part of the stress that are associated with
depressive states and neurological disorders. Neuro-Natural Serenity
works with our natural neurological balance to establish calm and
clarity in thinking as well as rest and relaxation.
I have a stressful lifestyle which is
making me depressed, and causing concentration problems. Do I take
Neuro-Natural Serenity for the depression, or Neuro-Natural Memory for
focus, or both?
We do not generally suggest taking more than one Neuro-Natural range
product at a time. Neuro-Natural Serenity will help more with the cause
of the loss of focus and concentration, i.e. the stress and
depression/anxiety, and so dealing with the root cause. If you then
find you still have concentration problems, then the Omega 3/DHA (which
is recommended with Neuro-Natural Serenity anyway) could be increased
to 4 per day for optimum help, to see if this is enough to help with
the focal problems. Otherwise, please consult us for further advice.
If you find that all areas are getting on top of you, then it is
possible to take Neuro-Natural Serenity and Memory together, but in a
half dose of each; or alternatively to take one of the formulas for 1
month on and 1 month off, in alternation with the other formula.
However, what you decide to do really depends on your individual
circumstances and symptom/condition severity, and importantly the cause
of your condition. If you are unsure please contact us for personal
assistance.
I heard that Omega 3 fish oils were good for depression too, do I need this separate supplement?
Omega 3 fish oil extracts are extremely beneficial for depression,
which is why we recommend these together as a more intense protocol.
Total Balance can also be added for optimum help.
However Neuro-Natural Serenity contains very specific ingredients (many
of which are often left out by other companies as they are expensive to
include) to deal with actual depression and anxiety natural chemical
functions in the body. For example, SAMe supplementation helps with
changes in neuronal membrane fluidity, facilitating signal transduction
across membranes and increasing the efficiency of receptor-effector
coupling. Neuro-imaging studies indicate that SAMe actually affects the
brain similarly to conventional antidepressants.
Our Neuro-Natural range has the advantage not only of having this, and
many other very specialist ingredients included, but it is also enteric
coated, ensuring that the vulnerable ingredients stay intact too, and
are optimally absorbed.
What else can I do to help myself?
It is important to ensure you address any emotional issues that may be
in part a contributor to such feelings. This can be done through
talking with friends and family, seeking help from a counsellor and by
working through life problems.
Exercise has proven to increase serotonin levels in the brain, helping
to keep depression at bay and make us feel better through good
circulation and a good sense of well-being.
Nutrition is of paramount importance and it is essential to ensure
that, along with an excellent professional supplementation regime, a
good healthy diet is maintained. Many studies have shown that diet has
a huge impact on the way we feel, both mentally and physically.
