Natural Mood Enhancers - Vitamins and Supplements
What are Natural Mood Enhancers?
Whether you're suffering from a case of the blues, seasonal low mood, or chronic low mood, there are many natural products that may be able to help. Talk to your healthcare practitioner to see if one of these supplements may be of benefit to you.
SAM-e / SAMe (S-Adenosyl Methionine) SAMe supplementation increases levels of serotonin, dopamine and phosphatides, and improves serotonin and dopamine receptor site binding. Interestingly, treatment with antidepressant drugs that results in improved mood usually also results in increased levels of SAMe, regardless of the drug used. SAMe has been shown in a number of studies to bring arthritis pain relief comparable to that of the oft-prescribed NSAID's, naproxin and piroxicam - without their side effects. [Click Here For More]
5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptophan, is the immediate precursor of serotonin. Low levels of serotonin are associated with sleep problems, depression, anxiety, compulsive disorders (including eating disorders), restless leg syndrome, migraines, fibromyalgia, and low pain threshold. Many people that are afflicted with one of those conditions often have others, which has led some researchers to label them collectively as "Low Serotonin Syndrome". [Click Here For More]
Vitamin B Complex Deficiency in either vitamins B-12 or B-6 can bring about low mood, and often masks folic acid deficiency (which is why it is so important to take a supplement that is a complete B-complex). In fact, folate supplementation, which in large doses requires a doctor's prescription, is a long standing treatment in some cases of depression. B vitamins are not stored well in the body and are depleted rapidly in dieters, and caffeine and alcohol users. The B-complex is used throughout the body in methylation reactions and is particularly effective against low mood, moodiness, muscular weakness and fatigue when combined with s-adenosyl methionine.

Melatonin Melatonin is a hormone derived from serotonin and produced in the pineal gland during periods of darkness, but not light. Exposure to light results in a rapid breakdown of melatonin. Melatonin can help you get to sleep faster and reduces the number of times you wake up during the night. [Click Here For More]
