What Are Neurotransmitters and How They Affect Your Life?
Just like hormones govern many chemical functions in the body, the brain's chemical functions are governed by "neurotransmitters."
A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger used by neurons (nerve cells) to communicate in one direction with other neurons. Communication between neurons is accomplished by the recognition of a receptor for a specific chemical messenger; picture a ball (neurotransmitter) in a cup (receptor).
The human brain is very capable of automatically manufacturing the quantity of chemicals it needs IF it is given the raw materials (nutrients from foods) to do so.
However, the modern American diet does not always supply enough of the raw materials the brain needs to manufacture enough neurotransmitters. Additionally, stress, worry, depression, emotional ups and downs, drugs, alcohol, poor nutrition, pollution and other factors of modern life are known to deplete neurotransmitter levels.
Neurotransmitter deficiency and/or imbalance can affect your stress condition, energy, appetite, cravings, sleep, mood, learning ability, focus, memory, sex drive, anger, irritability, temper, addictions and many other functions of daily life.5
With the amount of stress and diet inadequacy in our modern life, we would have to consume approximately several pounds of fish, multiple servings of whole milk, many platters of cheese and turkey every day just to keep our neurotransmitter levels normal.
Or, we could accomplish the same thing by taking Neu•Becalm’d™!
Neu•Becalm’d™ is an all-natural supplement that gives the brain-targeted nutrients to aid in the balancing of neurotransmitters. Many papers suggest that certain disorders such as AD/HD, depression, or substance abuse may be caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. While we cannot say that beCALM'd™ will treat any of these disorders, it can help restore the natural balance and improved mental focus.
