Millions of people suffer from anxiety disorders and depression. Anxiety and depression can occur together and can happen at any age. It is believed that a chemical imbalance in the brain is responsible for the development of depression and anxiety. Life stresses, certain health conditions and hormonal imbalances can all contribute to the development of anxiety and depression disorders.
Symptoms of depression include persistent sadness or anxiety (lasting more than a few weeks), feelings of guilt, hopelessness, an inability to enjoy activities or hobbies, changes in weight, insomnia and fatigue. Symptoms of anxiety include persistent worry, restlessness, sweating, irritability, fatigue and insomnia.
Many people take prescription antidepressant and anti-anxiety drugs for their symptoms. However, these medications often have undesirable side effects, which include increased thoughts of suicide, weight gain, loss of libido, impotence or insomnia. Mood formula by Vitalogic Vitamins is a safe, natural supplement that supports improved mood and lower anxiety levels without harsh side effects.
Key Ingredients
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) has recently been shown to be an effective alternative treatment for depression and anxiety. The mechanism by which St. John's Wort works is still unclear, but St. John's Wort is believed to inhibit the re-uptake of serotonin, similar to many popular prescription antidepressants.
SAM (S-Adenosyl methionine) is an effective natural depression treatment with good tolerability due to its low incidence of side effects. SAM is sold as a supplement under the name SAM-e ("sam ee"). Low levels of SAM has recently been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease and therefore SAM-e may be a potential therapeutic treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
5-HTP (Hydroxy-Tryptophan) is a precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Many anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications work by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain. By increasing the levels of 5-HTP, the synthesis of serotonin could potentially be increased.
