What is the function of serotonin and dopamine? ​
​
Both are neurotransmitters that play a role in depression. Serotonin functions as a mood regulator, and it also plays a role in many other body processes, like digestion and sleep. Dopamine is connected to what’s called the “pleasure center” in the brain. Your body gets a rush of dopamine when you are rewarded, but low levels of dopamine may lead to low motivation and feelings of helplessness.
​
The major difference is how the two neurotransmitters affect your mood. Dopamine is released after pleasurable experiences, and alters your motivation and interest, while serotonin impacts the way you process emotions. For optimal health, both levels need to be kept in balance.
Supplements may affect cognitive function directly or indirectly. Direct effects include things like altering or participating in neurotransmission and participating in or influencing energy metabolism. Indirect effects include things like altering the levels of hormones that affect the brain, protecting the brain from damage and dysfunction, and ameliorating disorders that can affect cognitive functioning, such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
These supplements may change the functioning of the brain in ways that affect the ability to think well. This could be through affecting neurotransmission (signaling between neurons), bioenergetics (the use of energy by the brain), or protecting neurons from damage and dysfunction. Such supplements may influence cognitive functions such as memory, alertness, attention, and various faculties that determine intelligence.
The “brain fog” at work was relentless.
My job (well, jobs) required me to really be on top of everything. It was demanding, and my attention would drift away (usually to social media), or my mind would slow down, and I was constantly forgetting names, places, or tasks I had to accomplish.
Worst of all, this kept happening when I needed to be on top of my game.
​
So, I tried everything.
I would try pure willpower. As you can imagine, it was quite ineffective. It was like trying to accelerate while your car is stuck in neutral.
​
I would drink bottomless cups of coffee, but at some point along the line, caffeine just stopped working. I had to drink a cup just to be normal, and if I drank too much I would get ‘twired’ (tired and wired).
​
There was always the option for pharmaceutical drugs, but, with all the potential side effects, I pretty quickly ruled that out.
​
This cycle to nowhere continued until I started research and experimentation with natural cognitive enhancers. I started noticing effects, and I steadily grew in confidence that it was possible to create a truly revolutionary cognitive supplement. With the help of doctors and scientists I poured through all the research.
