Depression Treatments and Senior Heath
Prevention of the condition is of course much better than having to go through the experience and then a cure. By ensuring that you have a correct nutritional intake you can help to keep your body and mind balanced. Along with a generally balanced lifestyle and a good healthy dietary regime you should be able to maintain these feelings and your reactions.

Specific and individual nutritional elements are available to lift your mood and increase your positive energy. These ingredients, and more, have been scientifically proven to be extremely beneficial in both mental and physical health.

Depression Treatments -These include:

5 -HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)
Produced from the African plant Griffonia simplicifolia. It significantly improves sleep disorders, anxiety and depression, comparable to conventional anti-depressants. 5-HTP receptors are found in high density in various brain regions and are responsible for many physiological and behavioural functions.

Phosphatidyl Choline
A major constituent of lecithin, essential in forming acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is beneficial in depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and heart disease. Supplementation increases central neurologic activity, mood, brain energy and both short-term memory and vocabulary recollection.

SAMe (S-Adenosylmethionine)
Used to reduce the symptoms of depression and improve intellectual performance. It has affects on the brain similar to conventional anti-depressants. It is well tolerated and relatively free of adverse effects. It appears to be safe and effective in the treatment of depression.

Huperzine A
An alkaloid moss originating from China, used for cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Research suggests that Huperzine A's ability to preserve acetylcholine (loss of which is prevalent in several brain disorders) may be greater than that of some prescription drugs, protecting brain tissue and improving memory, cognitive and behavioural functions.

Vinpocentine
A natural constituent found in the leaves of Vinca minor (lesser periwinkle). It appears to have neuro-protective, antioxidant and other effects beneficial to brain function. Studies show possible improvement for people with memory disorders, dementia and stroke sufferers.

D-Phenylalanine
Increases attention and activity, relieves depression and increases stability against emotional stress, believed to be related to its metabolism to brain phenylethylamine.

L-Glutamine
An amino acid balancing the body during stress, depression, irritability and anxiety. Studies show a significant decrease in severely depressive patients by altering neurotransmission in mood disorders.

L-Histidine
An essential amino acid involved in many metabolic processes. Studies show a significant anti-depressant effect and a reduction in the length of depression.

L-Tyrosine
An amino acid synthesized from phenylalanine. It is a precursor of thyroxine and melanin and used for the synthesis of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine. Beneficial in preventing negative effects related to stress by increasing the availability of tyrosine to the brain. Used for stress, PMS and chronic fatigue syndrome.Inositol
Effective in promoting the body's production of lecithin and required for the proper action of several brain neurotransmitters including serotonin. Beneficial in panic disorder, insomnia, depression and in treating lithium-induced side effects.

Omega 3 Fish Oil
Containing essential fatty acids, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), known for multiple health benefits. Neuroscientists show evidence that Omega 3 DHA produces alterations in serotonin and dopamine levels and studies show an increase in rates of depression where depletion of omega-3 fatty acids occur in the Western food supply.

Herbal Extracts

Many herbal extracts are also used to promote mental clarity and energy. These include:
Gingko Biloba, Hops,Valerian, Siberian Ginseng,Chamomile, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine),Passion Flower, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL),.
