Supports a good mood: Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has many different functions in the human organism but in terms of mental well-being it is mainly responsible for controlling emotional reactions but also helps to achieve the state of joy. The ingredients of our formula comprehensively support serotonin activity. 5-HTP and tryptophan are direct precursors of this neurotransmitter. EGCG increases bioavailability of 5-HTP by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down this compound in the digestive system. Vitamin B3, on the other hand, participates in the production of a cofactor that is necessary to synthesize serotonin. The other extracts also influence serotonin activity but in a different manner. Garcinia stimulates release of serotonin from the cortical neurons and saffron increases the number of receptors for this neurotransmitter. In addition to that, thanks to saffron and piperine serotonin molecules can remain in the synapses for a longer time. Saffron inhibits their reuptake while piperine reduces their enzymatic breakdown.

Improves sleep quality: Melatonin, commonly known as a “sleep hormone” is a neurohormone produced in the pineal gland and responsible for controlling circadian rhythm. Higher activity of melatonin that usually occurs after sunset is a sign for the whole body that it is a good time to slow down and prepare for a night’s rest. The results of clinical trials indicate that supplementation with tryptophan can intensify melatonin production. Similarly, improved serotonin activity has been linked with more melatonin. However, our formula might offer even more properties that will be beneficial for a comfortable sleep. As research proves, saffron and L-theanine are capable of stimulating GABA receptors. It is worth noting that proper GABA activity is crucial to reduce excessive nerve impulses that might disrupt normal sleep/wake cycles. Thanks to this neurotransmitter, it is easier to relax both the body and the mind after a day full of challenges.

Improves stress resilience: GABA is a main inhibitory neurotransmitter that can be considered a “tranquilizer” for the mind as it exhibits sedative effects. Usually, it is released in order to lower the intensity of nerve impulses and maintain psychophysical balance. GABA can stabilize general mood and help to stay calm in difficult, stressful situations. The ingredients used in our recipe have been proven to influence the activity of this neurotransmitter. L-theanine is probably one of the most important compounds because, as research suggests, it is able to increase GABA activity by up to 20% while reducing stress biomarkers, e.g. cortisol level. Vitamin B3 can also be of great importance in that regard as it can facilitate attachment of GABA molecules to their receptors. Saffron, on the other hand, stimulates those receptors similarly to their natural ligands. All in all, these properties make our formula a solid support for stress resilience and mental comfort.

Supports weight reduction: The unique composition of SEROTINE™ MAX might be beneficial for those who need to lose some weight. It has been proven that, among many other functions, serotonin participates in mechanisms that control appetite. When serotonin level within the hypothalamus is higher, the urge to eat becomes less intense. We might conclude then that the proper level of serotonin can reduce hunger, at least to some degree, and thus help to eat less. However, the diet alone wouldn’t be very effective. We also need efficient metabolism. Piperine and garcinia have been found to improve fat burning as they stimulate thermogenesis and reduce the expression of genes that are responsible for the production of adipocytes – the cells that store energy in adipose tissue.
