How it Works!
Although biochemistry is the biggest factor in depression, we are also affected by what happens in
our lives. We are all faced with unpleasant events that may cause levels of neurotransmitters to fall
temporarily. People with large reserves usually get through the troubling events unscathed, but those
with low chemical levels are more likely to experience depression. Stress has been linked to this as
well.
How Protazen can help...
Protazen is a nutritional supplement of herbs, vitamins, and specific amino acids that are precursors
to dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and serotonin. Protazen does NOT contain St. John's
Wort. It was Doctor Formulated to help support your mood, concentration, memory, mental energy,
and over all mental balance and wellbeing.
Below are the specific ingredients, and how they can improve your mental health:
L-Tyrosine is an essential amino acid that once in the
brain, is a precursor of the neurotransmitters dopamine,
norepinephrine, and epinephrine. This amino acid is found
naturally in the body, and has been found to optimize
thyroid hormone levels, increase mood, concentration,
and productivity. It has been used to treat conditions
including depression or mood disorder, poor coping ability,
fatigue, low sex drive, low metabolism, and can improve
endurance under stress. Women who take oral

Herb-of-Grace (Bacopa Monnieri) is considered a rejuvenating herb for nerve and brain cells. It
is used in the treatment of cognitive disorders associated with aging. Studies have shown that this
herb increases protein synthesis in the brain, increasing intelligence, longevity, and short-term
memory. It also has calming effects.

Passion Flower (Passiflorra incarnata) is an herb that can ease your anxiety without severe
side effects. It has been used by the native people of North, Central, and South America for
centuries, and is still prescribed by physicians in Europe as an anxiety-easer and sedative.

DL-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that is recognized for being the precursor for many
proteins; namely tyrosine, which in turn is a precursor, for dopamine, epinephrine, and
norepinephrine. Phenylalanine is a part of numerous substances in the brain that affect mood, pain,
memory, and appetite. Studies suggest (but do not prove) DL-Phenylalanine may have
antidepressant properties and may be effective in treating mild depression, particularly in countering
fatigue.

Gastrodia (Gastrodia elata) is an expensive herbal remedy that is a native of the far east.
Gastrodia is first mention in the Shennong Bencao Jing, which was compiled around A.D. 100.  It is
said to have sedative and analgesic properties.

Bioperine® is an herbal extract from the pepper plant that, when consumed along with vitamin and
mineral nutrients, increases the bio-availability (the absorption and utilization) of the nutrients.

Vinpocetine is an alkaloid derived from a plant source. It can help to support brain metabolism by
increasing cerebral synthesis of ATP and utilization of oxygen. This is one of the ingredients that
enables the proper synthesis of  the neurotransmitters that control memory, recall, focus, and mood.
It is used as a pharmaceutical agent in Europe, Japan, and Mexico, but is available in the USA as a
dietary supplement.

Huperzine A (Huperzia serrata) is an alkaloid found in the herb Huperzia serrata. It has been
found to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous
system to transmit information from cell to cell. In China, HupA is being studied for improving
cognitive abilities and treating Alzheimer's disease.  It may also be helpful in improving memory and
learning ability of healthy individuals.  However, it is important to remember that clinical trials are still
in the early stages.

SAM-e is a compound that is produced naturally in the body from the essential amino acid
methionine. SAM-e plays a role in various biochemical reactions, including the formation of
serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Although SAM-e has only been on the market in the US
since 1999, it has been studied for decades internationally
and is approved as a prescription drug in
Spain, Italy, Russia and Germany.

DMAE to increase alertness, improve concentration, increase assertiveness, increase motivation,
elevate mood, and increase daytime energy.

What causes me to feel depressed and anxious?  Neurotransmitters (chemical messengers
in the brain), including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, help regulate our moods and
emotions. Depressed people tend to have lower levels of these chemicals.
Brains cells require specific nutrients to produce
neurotransmitters. If the amounts of these key nutrients fall
below critical levels, the biochemistry of the brain changes,
resulting in fatigue, depression, irritability, and other symptoms. In
many cases, depressed people with blood levels indicating that
they lack key nutrients, respond quite well to supplements.
Unfortunately, in the U.S. most physicians do not prescribe
natural supplements to treat depression.
