How happy and content a person is is largely decided by the brain. There, chemical messengers – also called neurotransmitters – are responsible for communication within the nervous system. The signals they transmit have a decisive impact on mood.      

with valuable amino acids, vitamins and plant extracts supports this important communication process. With its varied plant formula, the mood enhancer offers 8 positive effects in one convenient capsule. 

L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is involved in a variety of important processes in the body. Among other things, it plays a role in the release of serotonin – also known as the happiness hormone. Studies show that L-tryptophan has a supportive effect in coping with feelings of anxiety.[[D794]] In addition, it contributes to general mental well-being.[[D795]]

The amino acid L-tyrosine and its precursor L-phenylalanine have an important role in the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. The latter plays a role in stress management and has an impact on the sleep-wake rhythm. Dopamine is important for the brain's reward system. According to studies, the neurotransmitter supports mental performance and stress resistance.[[D796]] [[D797]]

Saffron… 

• contributes to emotional balance  
• and helps promote a positive mood. 

For this reason, alternative medicine has for centuries been considering the spice as an effective plant extract against listlessness, low mood and other mental distresses. In studies, saffron showed itself to be a mood enhancer without the typical side effects of chemical alternatives.[[D798]] For SEROSAN PRO, the spice is used in high-grade Sargol quality as Safr'Inside extract. In studies, it gave subjects an increased sense of confidence (77%) and emotional balance (75%).[[D799]]

In naturopathy, St. John's wort has been used for centuries against mood swings, tension and problems sleeping. Studies confirmed the positive impact of the plant extract on mental balance. In studies, it acted as a so-called serotonin reuptake inhibitor – a substance found in chemical form in prescription mood enhancers. It blocks the serotonin transporters and thus increases the concentration of the happiness hormone in the brain.  

According to current knowledge based on 30 international studies, St. John's wort, a natural mood enhancer, shows a comparable effect to its synthetic counterpart. The plant extract provides the brain with more serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, which can contribute to mental relaxation and a positive baseline mood. As a natural alternative, St. John's wort does not exhibit the typical side effects of prescription drugs.[[D800]] 

St. John's wort ... 

• contributes to emotional balance and general well-being  
• and helps maintain a positive mood. 

With rose root, ginkgo and griffonia, the nutritional supplement SEROSAN PRO contains 3 additional valuable plant extracts. In naturopathy, they are considered as a solution against inner tension. Studies showed that rose root can support the body's resistance to stress.[[D801]] Ginkgo and griffonia can contribute to this. Studies indicate the contribution of ginkgo to general well-being.[[D802]] The amino acid 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) – the active component of griffonia – is thought to support serotonin production. It is an intermediate product in synthesis of the happiness hormone. In studies, taking 5-HTP as griffonia extract resulted in a calming effect.[[D803]]

• Rose root (Rhodiola rosea) contributes to optimal mental and cognitive activity and helps stimulate cognition and improve mood. 
• Ginkgo biloba increases cognitive performance and helps maintain mental well-being. 

Folate, a naturally occurring vitamin, is contained in SEROSAN PRO in the special form Quatrefolic. In this bioactive variant, the body can absorb the substance particularly well. Folate contributes to normal mental function. It also supports normal synthesis of amino acids – and thus the production of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.  

In SEROSAN PRO, the effect of amino acids is supported by a rich complex of vitamins. Vitamin B6 and B12 are required for synthesis of dopamine. In the formula, they work in harmony with L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine. Vitamins B1, C and D3 support the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B5 and niacin contribute to the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion. In this mood enhancer with a plant formula, the vital substances promote the effect of the other ingredients. 

The valuable minerals magnesium and zinc as well as the trace element selenium round off the multi-layered complex of the mood enhancer with over-the-counter formula. Magnesium and zinc contribute to normal energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Selenium supports the normal function of the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones. The latter influence the biochemical processes in the brain.
