Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that regulate mood, memory, the sleep cycle and daily stress. Adequate neurotransmitter production depends on an adequate supply of amino acids, vitamins and minerals in the diet. High levels of stress, dietary deficiencies, genetics, epigenetics, medications, toxins and microbiome dysbiosis all play a role in neurotransmitter depletion. CereVive Jr. provides the nutrients required to help kids optimize neurotransmitter production during school and physical activity, such as sports or playing outside, as well as to support proper sleep cycling.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid found abundantly in green tea and has been shown to improve stress perception, resilience and sleep quality. It has also been shown to increase alpha brain wave activity, which is critical for restoring optimal attention and promoting a sense of relaxation.

Inositol

Inositol is a B vitamin shown to improve nerve signaling and support a sense of calm. As part of the cellular signaling system of the central nervous system, inositol is crucial for the release of neurotransmitters from within nerve cells.

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid intermediate that is directly converted into the mood-regulating neurotransmitter serotonin.

Macuna pruriens

Macuna pruriens, commonly known as velvet bean, contains standardized does of L-dopa, which is the direct precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Micronutrients

CereVive Jr. contains several nutrients that are required in synthesis pathways for the neurotransmitters serotonin, GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. These include zinc, magnesium, and vitamins B6 and C.

Magnesium and vitamin B6 have been shown to calm the nervous system and reduce the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Elevated brain glutamate is associated with nervousness, worry, attention issues, low mood, cognitive dysfunction and fatigue.
