Press Release Summary = YOU'VE ATTENDED EVERY LECTURE, read every book and study aidand you've been up all night revising for the big test or exam - is there anything
else you can do to help boost your chance of success?
Press Release Body = Your brain is just like any other organ in the body, it needs
to receive the right combination of nutrients to keep in tip-top condition. Your
adrenal glands too need the correct nutrition to help you cope with stress.
Rhodiola Herb - stress management
As a powerful adaptogen, rhodiola offers broad non-specific effects supporting
overall body function particularly via adrenal stress.
Vitamin B1
An important study into the effects of the epilepsy drug Dilantin (phenytoin) on
vitamin B1 (thiamine) status found that thiamin supplementation (50 to 100mg daily)
improved mental functions in both verbal and non-verbal IQ testing.
Other clinical study has found application in thiamin therapy with Alzheimer's
disease. It has been found that Alzheimer's sufferers exhibit severe depletion of
the important neurotransmitter, acetylcholine in certain areas of the brain. It
appears thiamin can action and mimic the activities of acetylcholine and clinical
trials using 3 to 8 grams daily, have shown improved mental function in Alzheimer's
and general senility.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is found in varying amounts in virtually every food,
hence its name derived from the Greek pantos, meaning everywhere.
It is a water-soluble vitamin that has a key role in the release of energy from
foods. It is used in the manufacture of co-enzyme A and Acyl Carrier Protein, both
important compounds in the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats and the manufacture
of red blood cells.
Vitamin B5 is the main nutrient for nourishing the adrenal glands. It is needed by
the adrenal glands to make glucocorticoids, which may be the reason that B5 is known
as the anti-stress vitamin.
Vitamin B6
Research indicates that 10-20% of autistic children will benefit from B6
supplementation when combined with magnesium supplements. It appears to improve the
activity of several important brain neurotransmitters.
Folic acid
Folic acid is part of the B-complex family and promotes the growth and maturation of
the body's red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. In one study,
people who became easily fatigued were found to have low levels of this B vitamin.
As their folate levels rose, symptoms of fatigue also disappeared (Clinical
Psychiatry News, April 1976).
Folic acid deficiency is the most common vitamin deficiency in the world, with a
recorded 67 percent of geriatric patients folate-deficient. Another survey showed 30
percent of psychiatric patients suffering with folate deficiency.
Inositol
More research needs to be undertaken, but initial trials have shown inositol-another
nutrient in the B-complex - of benefit in depression and panic disorder.
Essential Fatty Acids - Golden Flax oil - brain and nerve support
EFAs are required for healthy cell membrane structures, particularly in nerve cells
as they are required for the myelin sheath (insulation around the nerve cell). In
children, EFAs (DHA specifically) are required for brain development.
"Exam time is stressful for teenagers and a nutritional boost can help reduce
stress, stabilise emotions and enhance brain function," says Keith Woolley,
Director, Boots Herbal Stores (an authorised Viridian stockist).
