“The most studied nutrient for depression. In your hands.”

“The cofactors your neurotransmitters can’t function without.”
Active forms of all B vitamins — methylfolate (not folic acid), methylcobalamin (not cyanocobalamin), P5P (not pyridoxine). B vitamins are essential cofactors for serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and melatonin synthesis. 40% of people have MTHFR variants that require methylated forms.

“The calming mineral 80% of adults are missing.”
Same product as our Sleep category pick — because magnesium serves double duty. Bisglycinate form crosses the blood-brain barrier, activating GABA receptors for genuine calm. Glycine itself is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. This is the foundation of any mental wellness protocol.
