“Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter produced in the brain that inhibits neural activity. Low levels of GABA are associated with increased symptoms of depression. The study involved 28 people between the ages of 18 and 65 years old who had depression.”

“Some of these benefits of aerobic exercise are due to adaptations in skeletal muscle that arise from the repair of cellular damage produced by the demand of exercise. Histamine is an organic molecule that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and spinal cord while regulating gut and immune function.”

“Depression The antidepressant effects of berberine have been observed in mice. In particular, studies demonstrate that berberine administration modulates levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine – neurotransmitters that influence mood – by increasing their uptake in the brain.”

“Due to omega-3 fatty acids' neuroprotective effects and their capacity to promote synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter function, they are currently under investigation as a therapeutic strategy to ameliorate olfactory losses in COVID-19.”

“It provides methyl groups for many aspects of metabolism, is a component of cell membranes, and is used to produce acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter for memory, mood, muscle control, and other nervous system functions.”

“Specifically, vitamin C serves as a cofactor in the regulation of neurotransmitters by preventing excess dopamine accumulation in neurons that generate reactive oxygen species. In vitro studies suggest that vitamin C might also aid in the formation of neural circuits.”

“Even neurotransmitters have circadian rhythms, and thus our problem-solving ability, alertness, and mood vary throughout the day. Cognitive performance typically peaks in a narrow window during the first half of the day and is also impacted by sleep.”

“Several neurotransmitters, including gamma-aminobutyric acid, endogenous opioids, norepinephrine, and serotonin, among others, work in concert in a series of negative feedback loops to modulate the activation of the HPA axis.”

“A UK Biobank analysis associated higher reported dietary magnesium with larger gray-matter and hippocampal volumes, but dietary recall and observational design prevent causal conclusions. For migraine prevention, the directly cited clinical evidence is one small randomized crossover trial.”

“Blood-brain-barrier breakdown is associated with brain aging, neuroinflammation, and early dementia markers, but that association does not prove that exercise-derived lactate prevents dementia. Exercise also changes blood flow, cardiovascular fitness, neurotransmitters, and endorphins, so lactate should not be treated as the sole pathway.”
