Mind

Ashwagandha 


A staple in ayurvedic medicine, ashwagandha is traditionally taken to improve cognitive function and reduce stress and anxiety. This herb is classed as an adaptogen, meaning it works with the body to resist the impacts of stress. Regular, consistent consumption of ashwagandha can increase the body’s overall resilience to stress, potentially providing long-term relief from depression and anxiety.

5-HTP


5-HTP is an amino acid naturally produced by the body, it is converted into the hormones serotonin and melatonin. We need serotonin to feel happy and satisfied, when serotonin levels are low, so is our mood. And melatonin is required to build a healthy restorative sleeping pattern. 5-HTP supplements are a two-in-one: helping to improve mood and sleep respectively.

B Vitamins 


Often overlooked, B vitamins are essential to many bodily functions; helping us absorb nutrients from our food and carrying out vital chemical reactions in the brain that are crucial for cognitive function. Being deficient in B vitamins can lead to fatigue and neurological dysfunction such as impaired memory and confusion.

Most of us in the northern hemisphere simply don’t get enough vitamin C from diet alone. Topping up with a supplement on a regular basis can help to improve energy levels and skin radiance.
