Warning: Brain Health should not be taken by those using antidepressant medications, due to low chance but potentially harmful interactions with the 5-HTP in this product.
Vegan Omega 3
DHA, a type of omega 3 oil is the main structural component of the brain. That's why people say eating fish is good for the brain. Our omega 3 is made from algae, which is where fish source their omega 3 from too. That means you avoid all the toxins from heavy metals and microplastics found in fish. It's better for the planet too. To read more, see our article on omegas.
5-HTP
5-HTP is the direct precursor to serotonin, which is a hormone used in the brain to reward the body with a happy feeling when you do something positive towards your survival, like eating or exercise. Low serotonin levels have been linked to symptoms of depression, and is the focus of many antidepressants. Serotonin also has links to sleep regulation and melatonin, and may help to improve sleep. To read more, see our article on 5-HTP. Please note that 5-HTP may interact with anti-depressant/sleep aid drugs, so please consult your doctor before taking any supplement containing 5-HTP if you are taking these medications.
