Due to their shorter length, MCTs are more easily digested than longer-chain fatty acids found in many other foods and are thus an immediate source of energy for the body. MCTs promote satiety (a full feeling […]
Teen Vitamin Premix (TVP) is a blend of 12 highly bioavailable vitamins, consisting of Vitamin A, D3, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, Folic Acid and Biotin. These vitamins are involved in key functions that relate to health and muscle development like energy-yielding metabolism, protein metabolism, protein synthesis, red blood cell production and the reduction […]
For teens in particular, B vitamins help to support skin and immune health, the nervous system, stress response, and energy levels. Our bodies deplete B vitamins more quickly in times of stress, and signs of this depletion may include fatigue, irritability, weakness, digestive issues, and anemia. Vitamin B6 helps your body make serotonin, a chemical […]
Vitamin C is a co-factor in the normal production of serotonin, the body’s “happy” hormone. Co-factors are essentially “ingredients” required in the creation of and end product, in this case, serotonin. One of the best-established functions of vitamin C is in the regulation of neurotransmitter biosynthesis, including that of catecholamines dopamine.
PalatinoseTM is a naturally sourced smart carbohydrate, providing full carbohydrate energy (4kcal/g) in a more balanced way thanks to its low-glycaemic profile. By improving fat oxidation during physical activity, it prolongs energy supply. In addition, it is the first non-cariogenic carbohydrate, gentle on teeth. PalatinoseTM (isomaltulose) is purely based on sucrose from sugar beet. It […]
L-Theanine is an amino acid which is found in tea leaves. L-Theanine promotes a calming and relaxing feeling without inducing drowsiness as well as improved focus, attention and clarity. L-Theanine is most remarkable in its anti-anxiety potential during exposure to stressful conditions. L-Theanine works by stimulating alpha brain waves which are associated with an alert […]
GABA is a key calming neurotransmitter in the human nervous system that is also found in some foods. GABA acts to relax the nervous system by preventing overstimulation. GABA decreases stress-related beta waves and increases the production of alpha-waves in the brain which are related to lowered stress levels.
