The is our primary formula and the foundation of the Protazen® system. It's a natural blend of herbs, vitamins, and very specific amino acids that are precursors to dopamine, other catecholamines, and serotonin. It's formulated to support positive moods, focus, memory, emotional balance, and overall cognitive wellbeing.*

- How It Works -

As with any organ, substances in the diet such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids (omega 3) can affect brain chemistry and function.¹ Until recently, it had not been fully accepted that nutrition had any influence on brain health. Today, some foods and supplements are being recognized for their support of emotional wellness. There is now enough documented evidence to assert that certain amino acids affect the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters (brain chemicals). However, their effects on brain function are not fully understood by the mainstream medical community. This lack of understanding often leads to prescription drugs as a first line of defense for a mood imbalance, when simply supplementing the diet with prodcuts like ours may prove sufficient.

Studies have shown that the diet does indeed influence brain function. Brains cells require specific nutrients to produce neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain). Neurotransmitters, including dopamine, other catecholamines, and serotonin, help regulate our moods and emotions. When the brain is under emotional stress, it can become depleted of these key neurotransmitters.^2,3,4 Therefore, it is reasonable to suggest, supplementing the diet with the Protazen® system of emotional wellness supplements can promote the natural production of key neurotransmitters. Additionally, because these particular precursors are found in many of our protein rich foods, they are consider very safe to take as dietary supplements.⁵

"L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP"

100mg 5-HTP
w/Niacin & B6

Suggested Use:  1 Capsules Per Day
Contents:  30 Capsules (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Protazen’s 5-HTP is offered as an extra serotonin booster. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter known to improve mood, calm anxiety, and relieve insomnia. This product is most often taken in concert with the Protazen® Base Formula, or by itself if serotonin deficiency is your only concern.

Protazen’s 5-HTP (100mg 5-Hydroxytryptophan) also contains key Co-Factors (Niacin & Vitamin B6) for absorption and bio-availability.  5-HTP is what the body converts the tryptophan amino acid into.  It is this 5-HTP that is a direct precursor to serotonin.  If there isn’t enough tryptophan in your diet (a problem for many of us), your body can’t produce enough 5-HTP or serotonin to keep the brain "happy."  This is why taking our 5-HTP supplement, in addition to the Protazen® Base Formula, can be extremely beneficial.

Our 5-HTP Serotonin Support Supplement is in a separate bottle, so that it may be taken at least 4 hours apart from the Base Formula. This allows for maximum absorption.
