GemBalance

The GemBalance formula contains amino acids that have shown a powerful mood elevating effect. The amino acid DL-phenylalanine has been found to be a potent mood enhancer and at higher levels may help relieve chronic pain.

L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine are amino acids that are converted in the brain to the hormones norepinephrine and dopamine. Norepinephrine is the brain molecule that causes mental energy and alertness. Dopamine assists in the elevation of mood states. The D-phenylalanine component serves as an endorphin booster, much as do eating chocolate and falling in love.

L-glutamine is another mood lifting amino acid that also provides brain energy and can relieve sugar cravings. Vitamin and chelated mineral cofactors are added to provide the brain with the complete pathways to make mood elevating and energy boosting brain hormones.

Suggested use: 2 capsules in the morning for a lift in mood and energy. To provide DL-phenylalanine at levels found to relieve chronic pain, the recommended intake is 2 capsules three times per day before meals.

GemBalance with 5 HTP

5HTP stands for 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan. In the brain, 5HTP is converted directly to serotonin.

Supplementation with 5HTP has been found to improve mood, reduce appetite and sugar cravings, and promote restful and refreshing sleep. It has been shown to be a helpful adjunct on weight loss regimens. 5HTP is a straight path to serotonin enhancement in the brain.

GemBalance with 5HTP supplies the amino acids and metabolic cofactors to promote the natural production of the mood elevating, energy boosting, and mental clarity and focus-giving norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. GemBalance with 5HTP is a potent, natural, neuro-enhancing cocktail.

Suggested use: 2 capsules in the morning to assist with mood, energy, and appetite control. For maximum effects, 2 capsules may be taken three times daily one half hour before meal times, whether eating or not.

GemBalance with St.John's Wort

To the GemBalance formula, 150 mg of laser energized St. John's Wort has been added in each capsule for an added benefit of herbal mood elevation.

St. John's Wort is the number one prescription for depression in Germany. Studies have found that St. John's Wort may be beneficial for mild to moderate depression, but persons with severe depression require medical attention and more potent anti-depressant therapy. The mechanism of action of St. John's Wort is not completely understood.

It may have a small effect in enhancing the pathways for norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, mood elevators as described in the basic GemBalance write-up above. The greater effect is believed to be through increasing the central brain effects of serotonin, the third main mood boosting brain chemical.

This action may be similar to that of the Serotonin Specific Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) anti-depressants such as Prozac and Zoloft. The SSRI effect means that serotonin released into the space between the nerves is specifically inhibited from being taken back up into the nerve cells. This results in a higher level of serotonin action on the membranes of nerve cells that is in turn associated with mood elevation.

Persons taking SSRI's or other anti-depressants should consult with their health care practitioners before taking St. John's Wort or other mood enhancing herbs or nutrients. Adding St. John's Wort to GemBalance may give a lift to all three of the main mood boosting brain chemicals: norepinephrine, dopamine, and the happy hormone serotonin.

Suggested use: 2 capsules in the morning for a general boost in mood, mental clarity, and physical energy. For a more potent mood elevating effect, 2 capsules three times per day may assist well.
