  • 5-htp crosses the blood-brain barrier and goes through a decarboxylase process to become serotonin (5-ht).
  • absorption of 5-htp is not influenced by other amino acids & therefore it can be taken with or without meals, without losing its efficacy.
  • 5-htp has a much higher efficacy than tryptophan which is available in small amounts in foods such as red meats & seeds because tryptophan cannot cross the blood brain barrier without the help of transporter molecules.
  • the therapeutic administration of 5-HTP may be efficient in depression, fibromyalgia, suppressing appetite and insomnia [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].

BrainFeed Choline Alpha GPC + Vitamin B12

,
£39.99

ideal for

  • anybody with a mentally strenuous role
  • students or professionals who are studying for exams
  • anybody looking to increase their acetylcholine level
  Choline is an isolated nutrient and the building block to acetylcholine; a chemical in the brain which is released when conducting cogntive task such as memory retention or learning. Food derived choline can’t cross the blood-brain-barrier alone. It requires a specific carrier mechanism that transports free choline across the blood-brain barrier at a rate that is proportional to serum choline concentration.1 choline is the precursor to acetylcholine; a chemical messenger in the brain which is essential for cognitive functioning. Boosting your choline levels can contribute to improved memory retention, learning and focus. [1, 2] alpha GlycerylPhosphorylCholine (GPC) is an isolated nutrient which naturally occurs in the brain. Supplementation has been shown to:
      • improve memory and learning ability [3,4,5]
      • restore the bioavailability of acetylcholine [8,9]
      • increase nerve growth factor receptors in the brain 10 and slow down undesirable structural changes in the brain [11,12]
      • counteract brain ageing by increasing cholinergic receptors [6,7]
      • counter the age-related loss of nerve cells and fibers in the brain 13
food derived choline, choline bitartrate and choline citrate are unable to cross the blood brain barrier on their own. Citicoline (CDP Choline) and Alpha GPC can cross the blood brain barrier however, CDP choline is only 18.5% choline by weight compared to 40% of Alpha GPC Dosage - take 1 tablet with a meal. Ingredients : Alpha GlycerylPhosphorylCholine 99% vegetable cellulose capsule, brown rice flour anti-caking agent: silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate vitamin b12

Brainfeed Relax You Naturally L-theanine 30 capsules expires

£21.99
Theanine is a fast-acting, non-sedative relaxant that reduces the impact of excitatory pathways in the brain. Each capsule contains the same amount of theanine found in 15-20 cups of green tea. ideal for;
  • Anybody looking to unwind.
  • Anybody looking to relax but maintain performance and clarity.
  • Acute stressors such as public speaking or travelling.
Most l-theanine found in food supplements is synthetic (e.g. Suntheanine) and it’s produced as a racemic using ethylamine and l-glutamine and a multi-stage synthesis. The theanine in our 250mg capsules is extracted from green tea from the mountainous region of Hunan Province in South Central China. We keep it as pure as possible so you won’t find additives such as lemon balm whose mechanism of action, ability to enter the brain or synergistic benefit is unknown. how it works; Human studies show that theanine stimulates increases in Alpha brain waves which are indicative of a relaxed but alert mental state 12. The type of brain wave activity is often referred to as wakeful relaxation 20 exhibiting increased creativity and increased performance under stress as well as decreased anxiety 14.
  • It is absorbed into the bloodstream and enters the brain through the leucine-preferring amino acid transporter system 11.
  • Its relaxation effect leads to increased GABA concentrations which result in general feelings of calm and wellbeing 6. Unlike other conventional calming treatments it does not result in increased drowsiness, slowed reflexes or impaired concentration 15.
