5 Supplements for Excellent Mood

We will analyze popular supplements that can be used to improve mood. It will be presented specifically BADs, and not all fluoxetines and phenybuts. Someday we will definitely make a release about the biology of good mood, in terms of secreted substances in the body.

5-HTP

This is the supplement that perfectly copes with the bad mood and is the precursor of the main antidepressant neurotransmitter - serotonin. Recall that serotonin is not exactly a hormone of happiness, but its level supports, in general, a good mood. Depressive states are not without reason treated with inhibitors of the inverse state of serotonin.

Where is the place 5-HTP? This amino acid is created from Tryptophan, count protein food, and from 5-HTP already produces serotonin. It's not just food, but not yet a hormone. In general, suitable for those who have some temporary decline in mood. He can slightly improve his health and depression, but then, of course, it is better to treat with a doctor.

The working dosage ranges from 200 to 500 mg, once a day with meals. It is better to start with a lower one, and then, if there are no effects, we increase it.

L-Tyrosine

This is already the predecessor of dopamine, and dopamine under the term "excellent mood" is even more suitable than serotonin. Synthesis of dopamine is not in 3 stages, like serotonin, but in 4 or 5, tyrosine is the second link. Even closer to dopamine will be the addition of Levadop, but it is already more serious and is used to treat Parkinson's disease.

You, it will be enough to indulge just l-tyrosine. The dosage can be 500 mg and 5 grams. For mental make-up with dopamine, you can feel 1-2 grams. If you are going to practice, then 2-4.

Caffeine

The most famous legal stimulant. Caffeine works in several ways. First, it blocks Adenosine receptors. This substance, characterized by a feeling of fatigue, it seems to tell the body that it's time to rest. Adenosine will circulate through the blood and will not be able to attach to the cells, because the attachment points are closed with caffeine. Secondly, caffeine increases the density of dopamine receptors. Add the effects of dopamine.

What we get as a result: caffeine removes drowsiness and improves the work of dopamine. Will this be a better mood? Definitely, yes!

Caffeine is able to cause addiction, while a rare technique, a couple of times a week at dosages of 100-300 mg will not disturb anything, and the same dosage will be exactly the same after one year.

L-Carnitine
A sports supplement, positioned as a fat burner. At the same time, the effect on fat burning in the absence of a diet from l-carnitine, is slightly more than nothing. But this supplement can improve mood due to increased norepinephrine, acetylcholine and serotonin. The substance is really interesting, it affects both cognitive functions and pain threshold.

For different purposes - different dosage. If you average, then comes out about 15 mg / kg of its own weight. Reception 1 time a day, better in the morning.

L-Theanine

There was a separate issue on the theanin. This additive is found in the leaves of green tea and has a mild relaxing effect on the body and the brain, increasing concentration, especially in combination with caffeine. Suitable not for those who have a bad mood, but rather for those who experience a lot, nervous and those who find it difficult to do some work without being distracted.

The first 4 substances directly acted on those things that you are happier. Theanine also helps with stress. Increased alpha rhythms in the brain, a sense of quiet recovery in the morning, when you are not sleeping, until you want to run and jump, but the head is already making plans and thinking about something there)

Vitamins, Sleep, Sport Loads

People terribly underestimate the influence of sleep and nutrition on well-being. Yes, the above additives work, the effectiveness is proven in comparison with placebo. However, it is desirable to restore the body to normal. It's not about a fanatical ZOZHE, when a person becomes obsessed, but you need to understand what you eat and how much you sleep.

We also recommend taking multivitamins. They can be neglected with a balanced diet.

And the last recommendation is communication. A study was conducted with a sample of almost 1,000 people and a duration of 75 years, where they tried to find a formula that makes people happy. Yes, health, low bad cholesterol, physical form play a role, but in the first place was the quantity and quality of your communication with friends and acquaintances.

Bottom Line:
- 5-HTP will help serotonin, it is suitable for bringing yourself back to normal.

- L-tyrosine, a precursor of dopamine, improves the mood above normal.

- Caffeine - blocks drowsiness and acts a little on dopamine.

- L-Carnitine - acetylcholine + noradrenaline + serotonin.

- L-Theanine - helps with nervousness and stress.

Supplement the reception with sleep and normal food with vitamins, strive for the best, no social phobia and you will be happy!
