Stress & Wellbeing

Supplements specifically for your mental health help your brain and nervous system function optimally. This type of supplement provides your body with substances that are essential for focus, emotional stability, and recovery in stressful situations. This way, you can support your mental health with natural extracts.

Chronic stress can lead to a decrease in synapses, the connections in the brain where signals are transmitted between brain cells. You also feel constantly tired, find it harder to concentrate, and are irritable.

A study has shown that the three ingredients in the mental health booster Mental Boost support the brain with growth, repair, and connections.¹ They also help promote relaxation and maintain a positive mindset², through a good balance of neurotransmitters such as the happiness hormone serotonin.³

• Lion's Mane or pom-pom mushroom  A study shows that pom-pom mushroom stimulates NGF and BDNF, two important growth factors for brain cells. This helps in the formation of new connections in the brain, supports learning ability, and promotes mental resilience.¹  
• Safranal   A bioactive substance naturally found in saffron. It helps balance your mood and supports relaxation.² It promotes the natural production of serotonin, allowing you to better cope with stress and feel more positive.³  
• Mangiferin  Mangiferin is the extract from the leaf of the mango tree. A recent study⁴ has found that it contributes to an improvement in mental speed, attention, working memory, response inhibition, and verbal learning and memory. Mangiferin also has beneficial effects on managing mental stress, nervousness, irritability, and mood swings.⁴

Nootropics, also known as 'cognitive enhancers,' are substances designed to improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions such as memory, creativity, and motivation. Interest in nootropics has increased enormously in recent years, especially among people who want to improve their mental performance or support their brain function as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle.

Natural nootropics are substances found in nature that are believed to support brain function without the side effects that can be found in synthetic varieties.

Anyone looking for stronger mental balance can benefit from these supplements. They are ideal for those who often overthink, have difficulty relaxing, or need extra focus. People who quickly feel fatigued or overwhelmed can also experience their benefits.

Vitamins play a crucial role in your body's overall health, and by extension, your mental health. Nowadays, we often fail to get enough of these vitamins from our diet alone. Multivitamin supplements can be a meaningful addition, especially when leading a busy life. You can perfectly combine Insentials Mental Boost with Smart Vitamins (multivitamins for men or women). Below are some key vitamins that have a positive impact on your brain:

• Vitamin D: Often called the "sunshine vitamin" because your skin produces it through sun exposure. It is involved in numerous bodily processes, including mood regulation. Evidence suggests that low vitamin D levels are linked to depression and anxiety. Especially during the winter months, when sunlight is scarce, supplementation can be vital in supporting your mental health.
• Vitamin C: This vitamin plays a key role in neurotransmitter production and possesses antioxidant properties that protect the brain from harmful free radicals. These antioxidants help reduce brain inflammation, contributing to better mental clarity and mood. Furthermore, Vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that influences stress response and energy.
• Magnesium: Essential for nervous system function, magnesium is vital for producing neurotransmitters that affect mood. A deficiency can lead to nervousness and anxiety. Magnesium supplements help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, contributing to a healthy mental state. Incorporating a highly absorbable form of magnesium into your routine is particularly beneficial if you are prone to stress.
