Brain HCF may be taken with or without food and is best to be taken one or two capsules with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
L-Theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid found abundantly in green tea. L-theanine has supports healthy mood and relaxation.
PharmaGABA®
Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is one of the major relaxing/calming neurotransmitters in the brain. GABA provides a calming effect and is a primary component of the body’s stress fighting mechanisms. Most commercially available forms of GABA utilize synthetically-produced GABA, manufactured from pyrrolidinone, a compound not allowed for use in Japan. Dr. Rob's Brain HCF includes a patented, naturally-sourced, non-synthetic form of GABA called PharmaGABA®. It is produced naturally by the friendly bacteria, Lactobacillus hilgardii.
Inositol
Inositol is a B vitamin that is an important component of cell membrane function. It is crucial for the release of neurotransmitters from within the nerve cells. A deficiency of inositol can affect brain function, resulting in inadequate neurotransmitter release potentially causing irritability, worry, and restlessness.
Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid that is found abundantly in the brain and helps to support brain health. Taurine promotes relaxation due to its ability to activate GABA and glycine receptors in the brain.
5-HTP
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is directly converted into the mood-regulating neurotransmitter, serotonin. Maintaining a healthy serotonin level is important for supporting a sense of calmness and relaxation, regulating appetite and the sleep cycle. As a dietary supplement, 5-HTP is produced naturally from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplifolia.
Micronutrients
Brain HCF includes essential nutrients that are required for the synthesis of serotonin and GABA neurotransmitters. This includes 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), vitamin B6 (P-5-P), vitamin C, zinc and magnesium.
5-MTHF is the biologically active form of the B vitamin folic acid which is vital for supporting proper mood regulation. Magnesium is a mineral that calms the nervous system by binding to glutamate receptors, which reduces excitatory neurotransmitter activity.
