Zela Mood + Focus Formula
Get to the root cause of mood swings and brain fog with six high quality ingredients.
CROCUS SATIVUS, AFFRON®
Affron® has been shown to increase levels of the mood-related hormones dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain in clinical trials. These ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating mood. There is also scientific evidence implicating changes in serotonin conductivity in the central nervous system during PMS and PMDD1 — making affron a key herbal nutrient to help support mood balance and maintain emotional wellbeing.
WITHANIA SOMNIFERA ROOT AND LEAF EXTRACT, NOOGANDHA®
Nooghanda® is an adaptogen that can help to modify the way your body handles a stress response. It achieves this through decreasing activity of the HPA axis — which is responsible for regulating the body’s stress response — to lower cortisol levels in the body and reduce stress. Nooghanda® also increases GABA levels to calm the nervous system and increase attention span and short term memory.
BROCCOLI SPROUT SEED POWDER
Broccoli Sprout Seed Powder supports the natural detoxification processes of the body. It is rich in sulforaphanes — a potent antioxidant that can shift oestrogen metabolism to produce healthier oestrogen metabolites like 2-hydroxyestrone. Unlike other forms of oestrogen which typically promote cell proliferation, 2-hydroxyestrone has been observed to inhibit the proliferation of cells, even breast cancer cells. Through multiple biological pathways 2-hydroxyestrone downregulates cancer call growth and enhances the body’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative responses.
VITAMIN D
Early research has demonstrated that Vitamin D helps to protect and regulate the dopamine system in the brain. Vitamin D has also been linked to reducing prostaglandin production in the endometrium to limit its biological activity which may influence menstrual symptoms.
RHODIOLA ROSEA ROOT EXTRACT
Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract is an adaptogenic botanicals that can help soothe stress to support emotional balance and relieve fatigue. In clinical trials it has been shown to reduce self-reported anxiety, stress, anger, confusion and depression over 14 days. Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract is also scientifically proven to lower levels of weariness and fatigue.
VITAMIN B6
Vitamin B6 is crucial for the synthesis of GABA and serotonin, so supplementation can help support emotional balance and wellbeing. Recent clinical trials have shown that increased vitamin B6 intake is linked with reduced anxiety and depression in women, Vitamin B6 supplementation is associated with improvements in memory and Vitamin B6 is associated with reductions in pre-menstrual anxiety.
VITAMIN B5
Vitamin B5 is an essential precursor in synthesis of acetyl-CoA which plays a crucial role in energy metabolism in the body. Recent clinical research has linked low levels of vitamin B5 with headaches, feelings of tiredness, insomnia and lower self-reported mood.
VITAMIN B12
Within the nervous system, Vitamin B12 is involved in the synthesis and maintenance of the protective myelin that wraps around nerve cells. This is crucial for nerve cell function and signal transmission along the nerve. Vitamin B12 is also crucial for red blood cell production. Vitamin B12 supplementation has been clinically proven to support cognition, energy levels and fatigue.
