Sleep (77)

Product description: Major steroid synthesised from cholesterol, precursor of steroid hormones Responsible for many functions concerning the nervous system and brain tissue Supports relaxation, the sleep process and concentration Each of us is well aware of how a bad mood can ruin the whole day and affect our plans and mood. The dietary supplement Pregnenolone 50 mg 90 Rapid Release Capsules from Puritan's Pride was created with this mood in mind! Pregnenolone, which is a neurosteroid, plays an important role in the functioning of the nervous system and brain tissue. It is a key steroid formed from cholesterol and plays an important role as a precursor to most steroid hormones in the body. As we age, its levels decrease, making pregnenolone supplementation particularly beneficial for middle-aged and older people. Fortunately, pregnenolone is now available in capsule form, making it much easier to introduce into the daily diet. Adequate levels of pregnenolone in the body generally support brain function and also regulate neurotransmitters such as GABA, the NMDA receptor and dopamine. When Pregnenolone binds to the receptors, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions, leading to increased ion flow into the cells and the release of dopamine, resulting in better concentration and mood. It also has a beneficial effect on memory, ability to focus and the length of restorative sleep, and can help improve mood. Pregnenolone is also key to the body's response to stress, supporting hormonal balance and facilitating adaptation to stress. Pregnenolone deficiency can lead to hormonal imbalances in both sexes, which often results from chronic stress. In such cases, the adrenal glands use most of pregnenolone to produce cortisol, the stress hormone, which limits the availability of this important steroid for the synthesis of other sex hormones, which can lead to various problems. Maintaining normal levels of Pregnenolone in the body can therefore help with hormonal regulation. Reach for Pregnenolon and enjoy every day to the fullest!

Product description: Carotenoids located in the macula of the eye, naturally occurring in plants Support vision health, cognitive function and sleep process Derived from natural extract of marigold flower Sight is one of the most important senses that allows us to admire the world around us and enjoy everyday moments. It is no wonder that each of us wants to keep it in the best possible condition throughout our lives. With these desires in mind, the dietary supplement Lutein & Zeaxanthin 60 Softgels from Now Foods was created. Lutein and zeaxanthin are natural carotenoids present in plants such as spinach, kale and broccoli. As the body cannot produce them on its own, they must be supplied with food. Their highest concentration is found in the macula of the retina, which is why they are called macular carotenoids. In the retina, their distribution is specific, with zeaxanthin predominating in the central part, known as the fovea, and lutein predominating in the peripheral regions. It is worth mentioning that lutein and zeaxanthin, along with β-carotene and lycopene, account for approximately 30% of all carotenoids present in the blood. In our supplement, they are extracted from the natural marigold flower, and the whole is packaged in a capsule form that is convenient for inclusion in the routine.These carotenoids play a key role in protecting the eye, acting as natural filters that absorb harmful blue light radiation. In this way, they protect the delicate structures of the eye from oxidative stress and free radical damage. They also support the adaptation of vision after exposure to bright light, improve visual contrast and may reduce the risk of degenerative retinal diseases such as AMD (age-related macular degeneration) and cataracts. Lutein and zeaxanthin also have a positive effect on cognitive function, as they accumulate in brain tissues to support memory, concentration and speed of information processing. What's more, they can improve sleep quality by filtering out blue light emitted by electronic device screens and artificial lighting. This light interferes with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for falling asleep, leading to sleep problems. So, by protecting the retina from excessive blue light, lutein and zeaxanthin support the body's natural diurnal rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and recover at night.Take care of your eyesight, mind and restful sleep by choosing lutein and zeaxanthin!
