4 Supplements to Enhance Your Mood

Revitalize your mind and improve focus and mental capacity

Maintaining a positive mood and sharp mental focus is crucial for leading a productive and fulfilling life. While we often focus on the physical side of development we tend to forget that mental fatigue and stress can negatively impact us and our goals. 

We are going to be looking at and discussing four key ingredients that offer mental and cognitive benefits, and allow us to recover from difficult workouts and stressful work weeks. So what exactly are these ingredients and what should you be looking out for?

Ashwagandha:

Ashwagandha, a powerful adaptogenic herb, has gained popularity as a natural supplement to reduce stress, anxiety, and improve mood. Our Night Time Burn and Dischem exclusive Halo Burn, both contain Ashwagandha for this reason.

It works by modulating the body's stress response system, promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation. Ashwagandha has also been shown to enhance cognitive function, memory, and attention span. The ability to assist in the regulation of stress and anxiety makes it incredibly effective to use before bed to promote restful sleep.

L-Theanine:

L-Theanine is an amino acid commonly found in green tea leaves. This natural compound is used extensively for its ability to induce a relaxed yet alert state of mind. L-Theanine can be used in both sleep aids, to promote a relaxed sense of calm before bed, or in pre-workouts to greatly improve focus. l-Theanine is an incredibly effective pre-workout ingredients as when taken with caffeine, it prevents the jittery effects often associated with caffeine consumption.

L-Theanine can be found in NPL Night Time Burn and Neuro Burn and as well the Dischem Pharmacy exclusive pre-workout, Blackout.

Alpha-GPC:

Alpha-GPC, short for Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylcholine, is a naturally occurring compound found in the brain and various food sources. Alpha-GPC plays a crucial role in cognitive function, memory, and learning. Supplementing with Alpha-GPC has been shown to improve mental focus, concentration, and overall cognitive performance. 

Alpha-GPC can be used as a general mental focus supplement in products such as our Neuro Burn and NPL Hustle Energy Drink. This makes Alpha-GPC a valuable supplement for those seeking improved mental clarity, especially during demanding cognitive tasks or periods of heightened mental activity.

Fish Oil (Omega-3):

Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, is well-known for its numerous health benefits, including cardiovascular health and reducing inflammation. However, its positive impact on mood and cognitive function should not be overlooked.

Omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA  and DHA, are essential for brain health and play a vital role in neurotransmitter function. Studies have shown that individuals with higher omega-3 levels often experience better mood regulation and cognitive performance.

Regular consumption of fish oil supplements has been linked to improved mental well-being, reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety, and enhanced focus and attention. NPL Vita Pack is a complete multivitamin and mineral pack, with all essential nutrients and added Omega 3’s for improved cognitive function and overall health benefits.

Give these supplements a try for improved focus and cognitive benefits as well as overall improved brain health.
