• enhances mood & well-being
• improves mental performance
• protects neurological health
• provides neurotransmitter support

Depression and anxiety are currently two of the most common mental disorders. Symptoms are wide-ranging and may include changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping), weight fluctuations, panic attacks, lack of concentration and fatigue. Herbal therapies are a valuable ally for mental, physical and emotional health and have been used successfully for millennia to cope with psychiatric disorders without harmful side effects. Rather than relying on a single action, as is the case with pharmaceutical medicine, herbal medicine can be utilized to influence numerous pathways to strengthen and normalize the endocrine, neurological and immunological systems.

Up-Lift features a combination of botanical extracts and nutritional compounds designed to promote a healthy state of mind and an overall sense of well-being. The ingredients work synergistically and were specifically chosen for their ability to significantly improve mood, cognition and mental productivity, while simultaneously reducing stress. Up-Lift supports the clear functioning of the neurological system and assists in the maintenance of key hormone/neurotransmitter levels.

Protects Neurological Health and Enhances Cognitive Performance
A key feature of Up-Lift is its ability to enhance cognitive performance and support proper neurological function. It was specifically formulated to protect against mental degradation whether short term (stress-induced), or long term (various dementias associated with aging). Poria, tyrosine, albizzia, and L-theanine have all demonstrated the ability to improve memory, learning, and general mental focus in clinical studies.

Maintains Key Hormone/Neurotransmitter Levels
Up-Lift contains premium quality botanicals and nutrients that support healthy levels of dopamine, serotonin, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Three Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) botanicals, albizzia, poria and magnolia, are combined with hypericum and muira puama to direct the utilization of the key mood-elevating nutrients. By combining the building blocks for neurotransmitters with the clearing, transforming, and guiding influence of the herbs, a comprehensive approach to neurotransmitter support is achieved.

St. John's Wort
Clinical trials suggest that hypericum extract is as effective as standard antidepressants and has far fewer side effects. The active constituent hypericin inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO) and the breakdown of neurotransmitters, and is also a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor.

Muira Puama
Muira puama is regarded as a nerve tonic in the Amazon. It has been traditionally used to address lack of desire and motivation, and in the management of stress. The identified antioxidant and neuroprotective properties of muira puama suggest that it possesses adaptogen-like properties.

Albizzia
Albizzia is referred to in TCM as a “Shen”, or “spirit” tonic. The flowers and bark are among the most valued of Chinese botanicals for relieving stress, insomnia and depression. Albizzia bark extract enhances neurotransmitter secretion and regulation, and has demonstrated anti-anxiety as well as cognitive-enhancing effects.

L-Tryptophan
Tryptophan plays a role in the body's synthesis of serotonin, melatonin and niacin, all of which are important to mood and stress response. Tryptophan is used by the body to make serotonin, which helps to moderate emotions, mood, sleep, body temperature, sexuality, appetite and metabolism.

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is required for the synthesis of the catecholamine neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine, which help nerve cells communicate and influence mood. It is also a building block for the synthesis of the mood-influencing chemical dopamine.

Fu Ling Mushroom
Poria or “Spirit Poria” has been used as a traditional Chinese and Korean medicine for the improvement of memory and cognition in old age. It has also been used by Taoist adepts to help attain enlightenment and for those who wish to overcome anxiety, worry and fear. Used in combination with other herbs it demonstrates an ability to improve learning and memory and inhibit dementia by affecting the M-cholinergic transmitters of the central nervous system.

Suntheanine®
Theanine is an amino acid derivative commonly found in tea (Camellia sp.). Research has demonstrated that L-theanine stimulates the production of alpha brain waves and is also involved in the formation of GABA. Suntheanine® is a patented pure form of L-theanine. It is produced via a patented fermentation process that mimics the natural process in green tea leaves, resulting in a 100% pure L-isomer-theanine.

Re-natured® Vitamin B6, B12 and Folate
Grow Nutrients® utilizes a single-celled yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that is fed specific vitamins and minerals which in turn become extremely bioavailable through the yeast. B6, B12 & folate vitamins have been shown to be protective to the neurological system and to help persons suffering from depression, nervous disorders, stress and anxiety.
