Introduction
Our emotions and our brain control our quality of life, we can have it all, but if we feel bad emotionally our life is based on that emotion and the same happens with intelligence and discipline; think how many people know what to do, but just they can't do it. What you may not know is that much of your emotional state (intelligence and discipline) actually depends on substances called Neurotransmitters and that these Neurotransmitters are "modifiable", you can change them and improve your mood, or you can change them and increase your discipline.

Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are substances that your body uses, so that neurons communicate with each other, everything that happens in your brain and in your neurons happens thanks to those Neurotransmitters; an emotion, feeling in love, being concentrated or remembering something during an exam. All this depends on Neurotransmitters, if you have altered levels of this substance you will not be able to maintain a good mood, or perform a task without exhausting yourself. These Neurotransmitters are substances that your own brain produces, as well as other microorganisms that you carry inside and, in the same way that a factory does not have raw material, it can't produce because it doesn't have what material to do it with, if your body doesn't have the raw material to produce these Neurotransmitters your balance of this substance will be altered and your brain will lack functional substances to function properly or to maintain a good mood (such as Serotonin). Helping you produce a good amount of these Neurotransmitters through diet, supplementation, exercise and changing habits, you can literally change your mood, make you more productive, more disciplined or simply increase your performance. Obviously, each Neurotransmitter ful-fills a different function and understanding why you need each one is essential to know, according to your objectives, what we need to improve.

​

Dopamine
Dopamine is the Neurotransmitter of reward, it helps you stay alert, focused and motivates you, in addition, it can help you produce other Neurotransmitters such as Adrenaline and Noradrenaline, which are also excitatory and give you energy. These Neurotransmitters are produced from an Amino Acid called "Tyrosine" and another substance called "Phenylalanyl", supplementation with these Amino Acids can improve your mood, energy levels and your attention span.

​

And Dopamine levels are low in people with low energy levels (i.e Depression, addiction) and, the most interesting thing about Dopamine is that we usually lack it for a reason that is unusual, not because our body does not produce it, nor because we lack the foods that bring the raw material, but because we are so used to very "high" doses of Dopamine that the normal amount is not enough, we live in a world that seeks to reward everything, even in what we do not make an effort, like watching TikTok or Instagram, screen time, addictions (i.e smoking), video games, porn and many more things gives us huge amounts of Dopamine and then normal life just can't fight against it, causing our levels of Dopamine not enough to motivate us on a day-to-day basis and that we need more. In addition, consuming substances that increase Dopamine in an "artificial" way (i.e. Coffee) over time, impedes our own ability to produce this substance.

Serotonin
We all already know it, it is the molecule that makes us feel good, one of the most important reasons why we want foods like refined cars is because they help us increase this Serotonin temporarily, then normally these levels drop and we leave running for more hydrates.

​

Serotonin is necessary to maintain a happy mood, to reduce anxiety, irritability and to help us fall asleep, in fact, in our body this substance is later transformed into Melatonin, which allows us to fall asleep correctly and, which is also one of the most important antioxidants in our body. If we understand what things reduce our Serotonin and what things increase Serotonin, we can give our body what it needs to naturally increase this substance and improve our mood. In addition, Serotonin can decrease if we have a diet low in "Tryptophan" (Amino Acid from which this substance is produced) and studies show that if you feed an animal with a "mixture of Amino Acids" without "Tryptophan" you can induce depression in hours. In addition, the more inflammation we have in our body, the less Serotonin we produce and the more of an excitatory Neurotransmitter called "Glutamate" we are going to produce, altering our mood for the worse, but the most interesting thing about Serotonin is that the vast majority of its production It doesn't happen in your brain as we normally think, it happens in the bacterial flora, in short, we need a good microbiota to maintain a good mood.

​

GABA
Think of GABA as the antidote for stress and overexcitement, in fact, it is the Neurotransmitter that allows us to relax, lower our brain activity, but in a good way, since by reducing our levels of anxiety and stress we can function better and People with panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and seizures usually have low levels of this substance, of this Neurotransmitter and, for this, many people use medications such as "Benzodiazepines", but fortunately if you do not suffer from a disease and simply have high levels of anxiety you can do something much more natural than taking a drug, you can take GABA that also improves your immune system and increases the alpha waves of your brain, making you more efficient when studying or working and improving your sleep quality.

Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine is a Neurotransmitter necessary for the formation of new memory; when you have to save new information for example, or when you have to study something. In fact, damage to sites related to Acetylcholine in the brain is common in dementias such as Alzheimer's, this substance is also necessary for reasoning and cognitive abilities and, above all, for motor issues related to speed and coordination, but It's necessary for all muscular contractions. An interesting thing about Acetylcholine is that we need it to create new neural connections, this helps us adapt to faster changes because we effectively create new networks, so if changes stress you out, take a look at Acetylcholine and the Symptoms it causes your imbalance. In addition, this is the Neurotransmitter that will have the most impact on your cognitive performance and your intelligence, that is why many Nootropics and supplements used to improve your cognitive abilities have substances that increase Acylcholine and substances that also increase Dopamine.

Do we have altered Neurotransmitters?
One thing is to understand that these Neurotransmitters can greatly affect your quality of life and another thing is to be able to have a notion of which of them we have affected and how to correct it.

Dopamine
We can suspect that our Dopamine is altered if we have a hard time finding the motivation to do something that requires an effort: studying or Looksmaxing for example. If it's difficult for us to concentrate or focus on the different tasks of daily life, if we sleep enough and even then it's difficult for us to wake up and if we need to ingest caffeine, chocolate or some other exciting substance to wake up.

How can we compensate for this?
If Dopamine is produced from Amino Acids, the first thing I want is to give my body more raw material so that it can produce it. We can achieve this by consuming more:

• Black beans
• Walnuts
• Lean meats
• Fish
• Eggs

And if this is not enough we can take supplements of "Tyrsoin" or "L-Tyrosine" and "Phenylalanila"; two Amino Acids that allow us to increase our Dopamine and, coincidentally, many Nootropics or products "designed" to improve our intelligence and our cognitive capacity already bring "L-Tyrosine" to help you concentrate and stay motivated in the task that you have to do more time and, later we will see a formula that can work quite well. But, as I mentioned, the main problem with Dopamine is the amount of stimuli to which we are exposed, so my advice before taking a supplement is to do a Dopamine Fast (days without screens, without excessive stimuli, without Internet and ideally without a job), if you can't do it for several days, at least try one to reduce that hyperstimulation to which we are all subjected and that alters our levels of Dopamine.

​

Serotonin
We can suspect a Serotonin imbalance when we have negative thoughts constantly, when we have low levels of self-confidence all the time, when we have obsessive thoughts and behaviors that tend to be more repetitive, when our mood changes with the seasons and worsens during in winter, when I have a strong desire to eat sweets or carbs (bread or pasta), or when we have difficulty sleeping, falling asleep or just feel "anxious" in general and are prone to panic attacks or have a way to get out of the house, to crowds or other activities such as public speaking. But, the worst thing about altering our Serotonin levels is that we constantly live in a bad mood, we can improve our Serotonin balance by:

• Increasing the consumption of the raw material of that substance, which is an Amino Acid called "Tryptophan" that is present in these foods:
  
• Supplement with "Triprofan" or "5-HTP" (5-Hydroxytryptophan) both are then transformed in our body into Serotonin and are usually consumed after meals
• Vitamin B3 can also help us to increase our levels of Serotonin

But remember that most of the Serotonin, as I mentioned before, is produced by microorganisms that are in our intestine, our bacterial flora. Therefore, improving our microbiota with Probiotics is one of the best ways to increase these values of Neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, but if you don't care about Serotonin and simply want to improve your mood, you can use other substances such as:

• Creatine
• Omega-3
• Golden oyster mushrooms
• Turmeric
• Prebiotics

Any of these substances have been shown to have mood-improving benefits, even if much of the mechanism by which they work is still unknown.

GABA
We can suspect a GABA alteration when it's difficult for us to relax and stop thinking about work, when it's difficult for us to overcome stressful situations and when we are close to "Burn out", but it can also happen when we always feel tense, when after a moment of stress we feel weak or trembling and even, when excesses bother us (excessive noise, light or a lot of nearby activity) and, unfortunately due to overexcitement and the High levels of stress that we handle today on average, have low levels of GABA is something more and more frequent as we age, for this reason more and more people use sleep medications, which ful-fill the same functions in our brain, as GABA, but we can compensate our GABA levels naturally by consuming:

• Green Tea
• Foods rich in "Taurine"
• Magnesium
• Valerian
• Passionflower
• KAVA

And if all this is not enough, we can resort to supplements such as GABA directly using doses of 500mg or more one hour before bedtime or 200mg of "Thiamine", which also help us to compensate for the "effect" of caffeine if we usually drink more coffee than we really should. Although this is not the "magic cure" for Insomnia, regulating GABA levels naturally can save us from having to resort to a drug to fall asleep or the use of anxiolytics.

Acetylcholine
We can suspect Acetylcholine alterations when we have to write things down so as not to forget them, when it's difficult for us to follow long conversations, when we often lose personal belongings (phone, wallet, keys, etc.), when learning something new stresses us because we know that it takes longer than normal in learning it or when it is difficult for us to follow a book or a plot or simply, when it's difficult for us to remember the Key points of a conversation or what you were going to say if you were interrupted. Acetylcholine, unlike other Neurotransmitters, is not formed by Amino Acids, but by a substance called "Choline" from the "B" group of Vitamins, we can improve our levels of Choline by:

• Consuming foods rich in this substance. Example: egg yolk
• Choline supplements in its different forms

Today "L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine" is used in conjunction with a plant called "Bacopa Monnieri" and "Huperzia Serrata" in many Nootropic Supplements because they have many synergistic effects that enhance our concentration or our ability to concentrate.

Conclusion & Formula
Understanding that Neurotransmitters are essential for everything you saw in this Guide and understanding the potential that many substances have to improve our mood and improve our cognitive abilities, the formula is:

• Tyrosine
• Theanine
• Uncaria tomentosa
• Choline in its "Alpha GPC" form
• Bacopa Monnieri
• Huperzia Serrata

Precisely to improve the balance of our Neurotransmitters and enhance your cognitive performance when necessary and in high demand. I hope that this Guide will help you to see that many things that worsen our quality of life and that we take for granted, such as: bad mood and our ability to concentrate, are actually improvable naturally and, hopefully, you can apply some of this Guide to enjoy these benefits.

Supplements won't change shit nigga.
Either work your ass off, get real medicine or go to therapy the rest is money waste.

 

[Crusile]

Op dont look to much into it, neurotransmitters levels dont really matter, this is meme science
Supplementing something like htp and tyrosine will lower neurotransmitter production, theres no point.

I realize that you didn't even read a single word of my guide because of your comment, in my guide I talk about natural "ways" to strengthen the brain, which is through the levels of certain Neurotransmitters which affect us in our style and way of life. For your lowIQ ass I will have to add in my next Guide a huge ass text that says: "This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace seeking medical help."

jfl seratonin produced in the gut is used for digestion it cant enter the brain. You can spend hundreds of hours learning about "neurotransmittersmaxxing" through chemistry biology psychopharmacology neuroscience etc textbooks but in the end you'll realize mainstream opinion by psychiastrists and psychologists is correct. ;=waste of time

I don't blame you, it seems that your knowledge is still very common/beginner and you believe the first thing you see on the Internet (copy-pasted), psychologists/psychiatrists were taught to teach you what you know, but they only do their job; sell you drugs, JFL.

How does serotonin produced in the gut effect serotonin levels in the brain

At the brain level, our state of mind depends on our levels of Serotonin; this hormone/Neurotransmitter relaxes us. So good Serotonin levels = good mood and keeps us happier and healthier.

When our bacterial flora is in balance, it ful-fills several functions that help us improve our mood. First of all, you have to understand that there's a connection between our nervous system and our intestinal bacterial flora, this connection happens mainly through nerves such as the "vagus nerve", which give information to our brain about the state of the digestive system and our flora and when we have to communicate at the level of the nervous system we need something to "send" the message; we call that substance "Neurotransmitters". In the case of the gut-brain connection, the Neurotransmitter we need is, yes, you guessed it, Serotonin, so lower Serotonin levels, worse flora, and higher stress levels = worse mood and performance you're going to have.

high serotonin in gut signals high serotonin in brain which improves mood

incoherent + over exaggerated mechanism speculation (on serotonin) as fact. You should never say "75% of serotonin is created in the gut", if none of the serotonin produced in the gut is used in the brain!

You lack comprehension when reading, it seems that you couldn't understand what I am trying to tell you, but I will try to make a TL;DR for someone like you who has a hard time understanding: serotonin produced in the intestine is also used in the brain due to their "connection", everything in our body is connected (remember that).

Could you tell me where I mentioned this?

You should never say "75% of serotonin is created in the gut"

Go through biochemistry general chemistry biology psychopharmacology textbooks, gl

incoherent + over exaggerated mechanism speculation (on serotonin) as fact. You should never say "75% of serotonin is created in the gut", if none of the serotonin produced in the gut is used in the brain!

in fact, several of his recommendations upregulate systems with no deficiency, some are directly neurotoxic

if you want to improve anything through a "supplement" the best ROI is a sugar pill

Introduction
Our emotions and our brain control our quality of life, we can have it all, but if we feel bad emotionally our life is based on that emotion and the same happens with intelligence and discipline; think how many people know what to do, but just they can't do it. What you may not know is that much of your emotional state (intelligence and discipline) actually depends on substances called Neurotransmitters and that these Neurotransmitters are "modifiable", you can change them and improve your mood, or you can change them and increase your discipline.

Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are substances that your body uses, so that neurons communicate with each other, everything that happens in your brain and in your neurons happens thanks to those Neurotransmitters; an emotion, feeling in love, being concentrated or remembering something during an exam. All this depends on Neurotransmitters, if you have altered levels of this substance you will not be able to maintain a good mood, or perform a task without exhausting yourself. These Neurotransmitters are substances that your own brain produces, as well as other microorganisms that you carry inside and, in the same way that a factory does not have raw material, it can't produce because it doesn't have what material to do it with, if your body doesn't have the raw material to produce these Neurotransmitters your balance of this substance will be altered and your brain will lack functional substances to function properly or to maintain a good mood (such as Serotonin). Helping you produce a good amount of these Neurotransmitters through diet, supplementation, exercise and changing habits, you can literally change your mood, make you more productive, more disciplined or simply increase your performance. Obviously, each Neurotransmitter ful-fills a different function and understanding why you need each one is essential to know, according to your objectives, what we need to improve.

Dopamine
Dopamine is the Neurotransmitter of reward, it helps you stay alert, focused and motivates you, in addition, it can help you produce other Neurotransmitters such as Adrenaline and Noradrenaline, which are also excitatory and give you energy. These Neurotransmitters are produced from an Amino Acid called "Tyrosine" and another substance called "Phenylalanyl", supplementation with these Amino Acids can improve your mood, energy levels and your attention span.

​

And Dopamine levels are low in people with low energy levels (i.e Depression, addiction) and, the most interesting thing about Dopamine is that we usually lack it for a reason that is unusual, not because our body does not produce it, nor because we lack the foods that bring the raw material, but because we are so used to very "high" doses of Dopamine that the normal amount is not enough, we live in a world that seeks to reward everything, even in what we do not make an effort, like watching TikTok or Instagram, screen time, addictions (i.e smoking), video games, porn and many more things gives us huge amounts of Dopamine and then normal life just can't fight against it, causing our levels of Dopamine not enough to motivate us on a day-to-day basis and that we need more. In addition, consuming substances that increase Dopamine in an "artificial" way (i.e. Coffee) over time, impedes our own ability to produce this substance.

Serotonin
We all already know it, it is the molecule that makes us feel good, one of the most important reasons why we want foods like refined cars is because they help us increase this Serotonin temporarily, then normally these levels drop and we leave running for more hydrates.

​

Serotonin is necessary to maintain a happy mood, to reduce anxiety, irritability and to help us fall asleep, in fact, in our body this substance is later transformed into Melatonin, which allows us to fall asleep correctly and, which is also one of the most important antioxidants in our body. If we understand what things reduce our Serotonin and what things increase Serotonin, we can give our body what it needs to naturally increase this substance and improve our mood. In addition, Serotonin can decrease if we have a diet low in "Tryptophan" (Amino Acid from which this substance is produced) and studies show that if you feed an animal with a "mixture of Amino Acids" without "Tryptophan" you can induce depression in hours. In addition, the more inflammation we have in our body, the less Serotonin we produce and the more of an excitatory Neurotransmitter called "Glutamate" we are going to produce, altering our mood for the worse, but the most interesting thing about Serotonin is that the vast majority of its production It doesn't happen in your brain as we normally think, it happens in the bacterial flora, in short, we need a good microbiota to maintain a good mood.

GABA
Think of GABA as the antidote for stress and overexcitement, in fact, it is the Neurotransmitter that allows us to relax, lower our brain activity, but in a good way, since by reducing our levels of anxiety and stress we can function better and People with panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and seizures usually have low levels of this substance, of this Neurotransmitter and, for this, many people use medications such as "Benzodiazepines", but fortunately if you do not suffer from a disease and simply have high levels of anxiety you can do something much more natural than taking a drug, you can take GABA that also improves your immune system and increases the alpha waves of your brain, making you more efficient when studying or working and improving your sleep quality.

Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine is a Neurotransmitter necessary for the formation of new memory; when you have to save new information for example, or when you have to study something. In fact, damage to sites related to Acetylcholine in the brain is common in dementias such as Alzheimer's, this substance is also necessary for reasoning and cognitive abilities and, above all, for motor issues related to speed and coordination, but It's necessary for all muscular contractions. An interesting thing about Acetylcholine is that we need it to create new neural connections, this helps us adapt to faster changes because we effectively create new networks, so if changes stress you out, take a look at Acetylcholine and the Symptoms it causes your imbalance. In addition, this is the Neurotransmitter that will have the most impact on your cognitive performance and your intelligence, that is why many Nootropics and supplements used to improve your cognitive abilities have substances that increase Acylcholine and substances that also increase Dopamine.

Do we have altered Neurotransmitters?
One thing is to understand that these Neurotransmitters can greatly affect your quality of life and another thing is to be able to have a notion of which of them we have affected and how to correct it.

Dopamine
We can suspect that our Dopamine is altered if we have a hard time finding the motivation to do something that requires an effort: studying or Looksmaxing for example. If it's difficult for us to concentrate or focus on the different tasks of daily life, if we sleep enough and even then it's difficult for us to wake up and if we need to ingest caffeine, chocolate or some other exciting substance to wake up.

How can we compensate for this?
If Dopamine is produced from Amino Acids, the first thing I want is to give my body more raw material so that it can produce it. We can achieve this by consuming more:

• Black beans
• Walnuts
• Lean meats
• Fish
• Eggs

View attachment 1862432​

And if this is not enough we can take supplements of "Tyrsoin" or "L-Tyrosine" and "Phenylalanila"; two Amino Acids that allow us to increase our Dopamine and, coincidentally, many Nootropics or products "designed" to improve our intelligence and our cognitive capacity already bring "L-Tyrosine" to help you concentrate and stay motivated in the task that you have to do more time and, later we will see a formula that can work quite well. But, as I mentioned, the main problem with Dopamine is the amount of stimuli to which we are exposed, so my advice before taking a supplement is to do a Dopamine Fast (days without screens, without excessive stimuli, without Internet and ideally without a job), if you can't do it for several days, at least try one to reduce that hyperstimulation to which we are all subjected and that alters our levels of Dopamine.

​

Serotonin
We can suspect a Serotonin imbalance when we have negative thoughts constantly, when we have low levels of self-confidence all the time, when we have obsessive thoughts and behaviors that tend to be more repetitive, when our mood changes with the seasons and worsens during in winter, when I have a strong desire to eat sweets or carbs (bread or pasta), or when we have difficulty sleeping, falling asleep or just feel "anxious" in general and are prone to panic attacks or have a way to get out of the house, to crowds or other activities such as public speaking. But, the worst thing about altering our Serotonin levels is that we constantly live in a bad mood, we can improve our Serotonin balance by:

• Increasing the consumption of the raw material of that substance, which is an Amino Acid called "Tryptophan" that is present in these foods: View attachment 1862486
• Supplement with "Triprofan" or "5-HTP" (5-Hydroxytryptophan) both are then transformed in our body into Serotonin and are usually consumed after meals
• Vitamin B3 can also help us to increase our levels of Serotonin

But remember that most of the Serotonin, as I mentioned before, is produced by microorganisms that are in our intestine, our bacterial flora. Therefore, improving our microbiota with Probiotics is one of the best ways to increase these values of Neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, but if you don't care about Serotonin and simply want to improve your mood, you can use other substances such as:

• Creatine
• Omega-3
• Golden oyster mushrooms
• Turmeric
• Prebiotics

Any of these substances have been shown to have mood-improving benefits, even if much of the mechanism by which they work is still unknown.

GABA
We can suspect a GABA alteration when it's difficult for us to relax and stop thinking about work, when it's difficult for us to overcome stressful situations and when we are close to "Burn out", but it can also happen when we always feel tense, when after a moment of stress we feel weak or trembling and even, when excesses bother us (excessive noise, light or a lot of nearby activity) and, unfortunately due to overexcitement and the High levels of stress that we handle today on average, have low levels of GABA is something more and more frequent as we age, for this reason more and more people use sleep medications, which ful-fill the same functions in our brain, as GABA, but we can compensate our GABA levels naturally by consuming:

• Green Tea
• Foods rich in "Taurine"
• Magnesium
• Valerian
• Passionflower
• KAVA

And if all this is not enough, we can resort to supplements such as GABA directly using doses of 500mg or more one hour before bedtime or 200mg of "Thiamine", which also help us to compensate for the "effect" of caffeine if we usually drink more coffee than we really should. Although this is not the "magic cure" for Insomnia, regulating GABA levels naturally can save us from having to resort to a drug to fall asleep or the use of anxiolytics.

Acetylcholine
We can suspect Acetylcholine alterations when we have to write things down so as not to forget them, when it's difficult for us to follow long conversations, when we often lose personal belongings (phone, wallet, keys, etc.), when learning something new stresses us because we know that it takes longer than normal in learning it or when it is difficult for us to follow a book or a plot or simply, when it's difficult for us to remember the Key points of a conversation or what you were going to say if you were interrupted. Acetylcholine, unlike other Neurotransmitters, is not formed by Amino Acids, but by a substance called "Choline" from the "B" group of Vitamins, we can improve our levels of Choline by:

• Consuming foods rich in this substance. Example: egg yolk
• Choline supplements in its different forms

Today "L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine" is used in conjunction with a plant called "Bacopa Monnieri" and "Huperzia Serrata" in many Nootropic Supplements because they have many synergistic effects that enhance our concentration or our ability to concentrate.

View attachment 1862467​

Conclusion & Formula
Understanding that Neurotransmitters are essential for everything you saw in this Guide and understanding the potential that many substances have to improve our mood and improve our cognitive abilities, the formula is:

• Tyrosine
• Theanine
• Uncaria tomentosa
• Choline in its "Alpha GPC" form
• Bacopa Monnieri
• Huperzia Serrata

Precisely to improve the balance of our Neurotransmitters and enhance your cognitive performance when necessary and in high demand. I hope that this Guide will help you to see that many things that worsen our quality of life and that we take for granted, such as: bad mood and our ability to concentrate, are actually improvable naturally and, hopefully, you can apply some of this Guide to enjoy these benefits.
