Get better rest and naturally improve the quality of your sleep with Positrol?. This unique combination of 5-HTP, melatonin and St. Johns Wort, along with vitamin B6 for metabolic support, help re-synchronize brain chemicals, called indoleamines. No sedative herbs. Wake rested and energetic. This is a companion product to SynCholamine?.
Syncholamine? & Positrol?
Our increasing awareness of the importance of chronobiologic factors in the normal functioning of the body is the basis for a natural approach to mental health based on rebalancing our biological rhythms. This is the thinking behind a revolutionary new form of chronotherapy for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders, sleep disturbances and other affective disorders. This approach consists of two different chronobiotic complexes designed to be used together to balance and restore normal circadian hormonal rhythms: Syncholamine? and Positrol?.
Syncholamine
Syncholamine? is designed to be taken during the early part of the day, when its ingredients help restore the neurohormone peaks that normally occur during this time. It contains the stimulatory amino acid catecholamine precursors L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine, along with nutrient cofactors to synthesize norepinephrine, epinephrine, L-DOPA, and dopamine. These nutrients also increase the concentrations of the endogenous (built-in) stimulant/antidepressant phenethylamine and the natural pain relievers known as enkephalins.
Positrol
Positrol is designed to be taken in the evening, when its ingredients help boost the normal nocturnal indoleamine peaks. It contains the neurotransmitter precursor 5-HTP, plus nutrient cofactors to synthesize serotonin and melatonin. Positrol also contains melatonin itself and St. Johns wort.
The body makes 5-HTP from the essential amino acid tryptophan and turns it into serotonin. Taking supplements containing 5-HTP raises the level of serotonin in the brain, which can have profound effects on mood, behavior, and sleep patterns. Because serotonin is a circadian rhythm regulator, raising its levels at night promotes circadian synchrony. 5-HTP also boosts the levels of beta-endorphin and other neurotransmitters.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the ingredients in Positrol can help relieve depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In one important comparative study, 5-HTP was found to be as effective as an SSRI drug (fluvoxamine) in reducing depression, with fewer adverse effects. 5-HTP can also help counteract other symptoms of a serotonin deficiency, such as insomnia, overeating, SAD, and fibromyalgia. Taking Positrol in the evening helps maintain the bodys temporal organization, coordinating its individual endogenous oscillations with the environment. The result is the relief of major affective disorders, such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and dementia.
Resynchronizing mood cycles
The combination of Syncholamine and Positrol represent a safe and natural approach to mental health, based on circadian synchronism and control of homeostasis. Taking Syncholamine in the early part of the day, and Positrol towards the end of the day, produces a greater benefit than taking either product alone. Together these formulas act as timekeepers to resynchronize the bodys circadian rhythms, while promoting the proper circadian switching and functioning of the daytime energy production pathway and the nighttime sleep and repair pathway. In addition, these formulas may have anti-aging effects by normalizing neurotransmitter balance, thereby improving hypothalamic receptor sensitivity.
