Trace Minerals and Neurocognitive Optimization

Trace Minerals and Neurocognitive Optimization

Trace minerals affect neurotransmitter levels and neuroinflammation. Getting the right levels of micronutrients can help optimize neurocognitive function.

Tryptophan Pathways: Kynurenine, Serotonin, and Melatonin

Tryptophan Pathways: Kynurenine, Serotonin, and Melatonin

Genetic variants in tryptophan pathway enzymes alter quinolinic and kynurenic acids, NAD+ production, and serotonin synthesis. These genes influence mood, sleep, fatigue, immunity, and ong Covid brain fog risk.

Creatine Synthesis, Foods high in creatine, creatine benefits

Creatine: Boosting Muscles and Increasing Brain Power

Creatine is an amino acid used in muscle tissue and the brain for energy in times of stress. Genes play a role in creatine synthesis. Find out what the research shows about creatine supplements for muscle mass and cognitive function.

ADRA1A Genetic Variants, fight or flight response

ADRA1A Receptors: Blood Vessel Reactions Under Stress

We have many systems in place to control blood pressure and heart rate. The ADRA1A receptors are part of this system. Discover how variants can influence blood vessel stress response and how others are connected to cognitive changes.

GABA neurotransmitter, recycling and synthesis, genetic variants affecting GABA, ways to naturally increase GABA

GABA: Genetics, Anxiety, and Immune Response

GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter that acts to block or inhibit a neuron from firing. It is an essential way that the brain regulates impulses, and low GABA levels are linked with several conditions, including anxiety and PTSD.
