TravaGen 120c by NeuroScience
This product contains a unique blend of ingredients that are important for regulating mood and reducing stress. It utilizes L-tryptophan to provide a gentler conversion to serotonin compared to 5-HTP, which is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is important for mood and sleep-wake function. It also contains taurine, an amino acid that is neuroprotective and provides antioxidant protection, as well as demonstrating GABA-A agonist activity. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that is important for calm and sleep. Additionally, L-theanine is included, which is an amino acid that acts as a glutamate receptor antagonist. Glutamatergic signaling plays a role in underlying mechanisms related to anxiousness and stress. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine was shown to significantly reduce stress. Lastly, active forms of vitamins B6, folate, B12, and C are included, which are important for serotonin synthesis.This product has many benefits to the human body, including improved mood, reduced stress, and better sleep. It is unique in the marketplace because of its combination of ingredients, which provide a gentler conversion to serotonin, neuroprotective properties, and glutamate receptor antagonism. Furthermore, it also contains active forms of vitamins B6, folate, B12, and C, which are important for serotonin synthesis. These ingredients work together to reduce stress and improve mood, making this product a unique and beneficial option for those looking to improve their mental wellbeing.
