Depression is a serious illness involving imbalances of neurotransmitters in the brain. To give you a basic understanding of what a neurotransmitter is, it can essentially be classified as a chemical messenger, traveling through the brain to send messages from one neuron nerve cell to another. Different neurotransmitters produce different functions ranging from feelings of pleasure and the ability to manage stress. An imbalance in chemical neurotransmitters leads not only to anxiety, stress, anger, and depression, but also other health hazardous conditions.

List of some Neurotransmitters and Functions

• Dopamine – pleasure, attachment/love, and altruism.
• Norepinephrine – Arousal, energy, drive, stimulation, and fight or flight.
• Serotonin – Emotional stability reduces aggression, sensory input, sleep cycle, appetite control.
• GABA – Controls anxiety, arousal, and convulsions, and keeps brain activity balanced.

Depleted serotonin has been viewed as a major cause of depression.1 Worse yet, diminished activity of serotonin, was seen in suicide victims with major depression.2 When levels are low, symptoms may include irritability, over sensitivity to sights and sounds, increased anxiety, and impulsive or abusive behavior. The ratios of dopamine and serotonin activity is very important, keeping them balanced is key to anxiety, worries, and depression.3

Serotonin modulates stabilizing actions in the brain, creating a balance in chemical activity, allowing those suffering from depression to be emotionally stable and serene. With sufficient amounts of serotonin, our brain may successfully approach stressful situations and determine, in a logical manner, if there is a threat present.

Depression Specialist consists of selected plant extracts of wheat grass, corn, bamboo and other young grass leaves by a proprietary patent-pending process. Many studies at renowned research centers such as the University of Utah and Rhodes University indicate the extracts to be safe with no known side effects. It has been shown to improve mood and feelings of well-being, and help to cope with stress as precursors to serotonin.
But dosage is the key! Dosage may need to be adjusted to individual needs. During beginning intake, dosage may be increased given individual circumstances and beneficial effects for each individual.

  “I finally found a natural supplement worthy of my praise. I've tried everything from St. Johns wort, 5HTP, Rhodiola, sceletium, valerian, passion flower, tryptophan, l-theanine, picamilon, and in my opinion none of these compare to the benefits I've been getting. My anxiety is about 90% gone and my moderate depression is almost nonexistent. I was wary at first but decided what the heck, I've tried everything else. It started working the first day I took it. I highly recommend this product if you have serotonin problems.”
