Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) is the active form of vitamin B6 and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body. Unlike regular vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), PLP does not require additional conversion in the body, making it readily usable and easily absorbed. Its bioavailability contributes significantly to supporting enzymatic reactions involved in metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis (like serotonin and dopamine), and the regulation of amino acids. PLP’s presence is vital for energy metabolism, aiding in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which helps sustain energy levels. Moreover, it supports cognitive function, nervous system health, and contributes to overall well-being by facilitating various biochemical reactions essential for optimal health.

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in growth and development, the production of red blood cells (essential for optimal energy levels), immune function and improved memory. Vitamin B12 is found exclusively in foods of animal origin. Individuals following a vegetarian diet are therefore at an increased risk for dietary vitamin B12 deficiency..

7,8-DHF (7,8-Dihydroxyflavone) is a naturally occurring flavonoid with possible cognition-enhancing properties. Its recent discovery has spurred research into its unique properties.

By enhancing TrkB expression, 7,8-DHF may help to increase the rate new synapses are formed, thus enhancing learning. Some researchers hypothesize that 7,8-DHF does not bind TrkB directly, but instead acts on an unknown pathway that results in the same end result–increased TrkB activity. 7,8-DHF is believed to have a similar degree of neurogenic activities as BDNF.

On top of its effects on neurogenesis, 7,8-DHF is also neuroprotective. It has antioxidant properties in the brain that are independent of its TrkB activity. While these mechanisms are not understood, it is believed to activate the Akt/PKB pathway.

Sinomenine is the active compound in the roots of the *Sinomenium acutum* plant. As a herbal extract, Sinomenium acutum has been used traditionally for its neuroprotective properties. Research suggests it assists in increasing the influx of chloride into the cells of the hypothalamus – a small part of the brain that plays an important role in energy maintenance and in stress control.

Peony root, also known as *Paeonia lactiflora Pall*, is a flowering plant known for its stress reducing and mood boosting properties. Research suggests that Peony Root extract supports a positive mood by reducing the expression of serotonin transporter (SERT) – a protein that binds to serotonin so it can be broken down and recycled. Inhibiting SERT prevents this process, which increases serotonin levels, thus producing a mild mood-enhancing effect.

– Boosts Serotonin Levels
– Supports a Positive Mood

Baicalein is the primary active component from the Blue Skullcap plant (also known as Baikal Skullcap). This powerful phytochemical is known to act on GABA receptors to promote relaxation and relieve stress. Baicalein also acts as a strong antioxidant supplement and helps to promote a healthy circulatory system.

• Calming and Stress-Reducing
• Antioxidant and Immune Support
• 5 – 10x Bioavailability Compared to Baicalin

Benfotiamine is a synthetic form on the vitamin Thiamine (vitamin B1). Once absorbed, Thiamin gets converted into the active form. Research suggests that Thiamin plays an important role in helping our bodies turn food, especially carbohydrates into energy. Due to its essential role in providing our bodies cells with energy, it plays a key role in nerve, muscle, and heart function.

– Facilities Energy Metabolism

Citicoline (or CDP-Choline) is an endogenous compound that is found in several biochemical pathways in the human body.

When used as a dietary supplement, Citicoline can act as a powerful support for memory, neuroplasticity, focus, and a good mood.

* Memory Support
* Boosts Focus
* Promotes Learning

5-HTP is an amino acid precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. It has been said to support positive mood, reduce cravings, and promote healthy sleep.

* Uplifts Mood
* Precursor to Serotonin

Magnolol is compound found in *Magnolia officinalis* (also known as Magnolia Bark) and is known to be a powerful antioxidant.

In addition to protecting cells from potentially harmful free radicals, Magnolol can also be used to promote respiratory health.

Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) is a perennial found in marshes throughout most of Asia. The primary active components of Gotu Kola are triterpenoid saponins Asiaticoside, Asiaticoside B, and Madecassoside, which have potent mood lifting, relaxing, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Traditionally, Gotu Kola is used for stress and mood, but recent studies indicate the triterpenoid saponins may have a more complex role than expected. Gotu Kola increases cerebral GABA levels, which is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. The saponins have been shown to increase serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain.

Gotu Kola may also have long-term benefits. The saponins and their metabolites are believed to promote neurogenesis by enhancing expression of BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) which may promote learning as well as mood.

Triacetyluridine is a naturally-occurring compound and precursor to the nucleoside Uridine (pictured to the left). Uridine plays an important role in cellular signaling, and supports both CDP-Choline and dopamine levels in the brain. For this reason, Triacetyluridine is becoming a sought after dietary supplement for its perceived effect in boosting cognitive function, memory and mood.

Tetrahydroharmine (THH) is one of a family of β-carboline (indole-related) harmala alkaloids, found in the Banisteriopsis caapi (yagé, or ayahuasca) vine and related species, as well as in Peganum harmala (which lends these alkaloids their “harmala alkaloid” nomenclature).

Scientific research has revealed that (±)-Tetrahydroharmine functions as a mild serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and one isomer may also have gentle weak reversible MAOI activity (much less potent than that of Harmaline or Harmine), allowing for synergies with other natural phytochemicals that may be deactivated by MAO, including indole derivatives.

In addition, THH has nootropic potential. Studies suggest that the neuroprotective β-carboline harmala alkaloids from the Banisteriopsis caapi vine, including THH, uniquely promote adult neurogenesis. The combination of bioactivities in THH may help support healthy serotonin levels and promote a positive and open mood.
