The less light we are exposed to, the greater the production of melatonin from serotonin, which results in a decrease in serotonin. As serotonin is responsible for appetite suppression and positive emotional responses, a decrease in serotonin causes an increase in appetite and frequently sugar cravings. After eating, insulin is secreted which pulls sugar and amino acids into the cells (not the CNS). Tryptophan is less effected by insulin and moves into the CNS where it is converted to serotonin and the cycle stops...for a moment. Conditions associated with impaired neurotransmitter metabolism include:
|
Aneurysm
|
Migraines
|
Sex drive (suppressed by melatonin)
|
|
Epilepsy
|
Prolactin issues
|
Slurred speech
|
|
Insecure/low self esteem
|
Seasonal depression
|
Stroke (vascular integrity)
|
|
Melatonin
|
Sleep issues (melatonin)

Primary Nutritive: "Metabolic Support" contains polysaccharides and cellulase for capillary integrity and to aid in the delivery of amino acids (i.e., tryptophan, etc.) and glucose to the CNS.
Secondary Nutritive: "Aerobic Support" supplies the amino acids and the synergistic nutrients to support neurotransmitter metabolism. In addition, scientists are finding that algaes not only produce some of the same neurotransmitters (i.e., serotonin) as humans, but also rely on the same enzymatic pathways and nutrients.
