To understand what makes EMPowerplus so effective for bipolar, depression, and other mood disorders, we must recognize the relationship between micronutrient deficiencies and the incidence of mental illness.
Could micronutrient deficiencies be affecting your mental health?
Despite efforts to eat a balanced diet with healthier food choices, most Americans—according to this USDA graph—don’t meet the recommended daily allowance for many essential micronutrients. This may be one reason why the incidence of mental illness and mood disorders, such as bipolar, continue to rise at an alarming rate.
The good news? Current research suggests many symptoms of bipolar, depression, anxiety, and ADHD can be reduced or eliminated using the full-spectrum micronutrient formulation of EMPowerplus.
The role of serotonin in mood stability
The “feel good” neurotransmitter serotonin plays a critical role in mood regulation.
Most pharmaceutical treatments for depression are known as Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors, or SSRIs, and are supposed to keep the mood-balancing effects of serotonin working in the brain longer by blocking its re-absorption in the body.
A better way to look at the role of serotonin is to understand how the body creates this essential neurotransmitter. The following diagram details the chemical reactions the body must go through to produce serotonin and demonstrates that:
- Every reaction requires micronutrients to function properly in the production process.
- Dietary deficiencies in micronutrients can slow or even halt the production of serotonin.
- Addressing micronutrient deficiencies helps your body adequately produce serotonin.
The result? Your mood improves and you feel better.
