60 capsules. 5-Hydroxytryptopah with key nutrients which may assist in maintaining normal neurological function. Typical dose: 1 daily on an empty stomach ($0.76 per day).
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a precursor to an important brain chemical called serotonin. Serotonin is responsible for producing, among other things, a feeling of calm, well-being and mood elevation. Our modern lifestyles are filled with stress. Evidence shows that stress results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. People who crave carbohydrates, experience bouts of depression and anxiety, have difficulty sleeping, get frequent headaches, or have vague muscle aches and pains, may all have depleted serotonin levels.

5HTP is a great option for those struggling with mood disorders, mental health challenges, exhaustion, lack of engagement, minor depression and anxiety.

Within 3 months, you'll know if you still need to go down the medical path (and there's nothing wrong with that!). This is an excellent nutrient formula to use when coming off anti-depressant therapy, but only with support and guidance from your GP and naturopath.BioCare Iron Complex

160g powder. Combines a highly bioavailable form of magnesium with the clinically trialled dosage of L-Glycine. Through the synergisitic actions on the nervous system, it helps reduce CNS excitation, time to fall asleep and disturbed or restless sleep. Typical dose: 5.3g (one scoop) daily ($1.60 per day).
Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid which acts rapidly in the central nervous system to inhibit excitation. As there is no regulation over its uptake (unlike taurine) this is the perfect option to lead with, particularly when the brain is under excitatory overload (e.g. conditions such as depression, acute stress, drug use and extreme insomnia). Magnesium (Mg2+) is a vital micronutrient and co-factor or activator of a huge number of reactions in the body. Mg2+ functions synergistically with glycine, supporting nervous system health and protecting neurons from inflammation.
