Nutritional Supplements For the Support of Balanced Neuro-Biogenic Amines Nutrition and mental health have long been regarded with suspicion by conventional pharmacological orientated clinicians. In terms of their likelihood of benefit or risk, most interest has been focused on the risk of interactions rather than the potential benefits of use. Food is often one of the last areas looked at by patients seeking to restore brain health, yet every tissue and substrate used in the formation and function of the brain is reliant on the availability of specific micro and macro nutrients. From glycogen to choline the brain, its health and well being can be significantly helped by the correct selection of foods, fluids and supplements. Food supplements are not designed to be pharmacological replacements, they do not block an enzyme or activate or suppress a receptor. Their role is to supply essential raw materials, in doses often unattainable from food supplies alone in safe and convenient forms. Nutritional therapy is a young science and there is much to be learnt yet about the role of individual nutrients on the outcome of an individual s health. The supplements listed in this document have been selected to offer a safe and effective option. 1
Principle Supplement Suggestions Supplement recommendations must be made in the context of the individuals needs and aims. Where patients are already on medication it is recommended that their prescribing clinician is kept informed of any food and supplement recommendations. Regular assessments and careful observation of the patient should be part of the support programme including detailed notes. Lab work and other investigations should support the recommendations. Close working and relationship building to achieve the best and most personalised approach will add value to the support you offer and assist with compliance and comprehension. Primary supplement suggestions are in green and secondary, in blue. The secondary supplements may be considered when there are a number of strategic targets for nutritional intervention.
