SNAP Affects Neurotransmitters - What Are They? Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals floating around your brain that send signals
from one neuron to another and ‘communicate’ what needs to happen.
Sometimes the need that is being communicated is to store a memory, and sometimes it
is the need to eat or hide from danger.
SNAP Affects Neurotransmitters - Why Is This Important?
The neurotransmitters in your brain are responsible for so much of your daily
functioning that it’s best for your well-being to have them in a state of balance in
your brain.
The neurotransmitters control so much of our healthy functioning that when they are
out of balance, we can experience many negative health effects. These can include
mood disorders like depression and anxiety, lack of focus and mental clarity, to
eating disorders like obesity, and sleep disorders like insomnia.
Major neurotransmitters that you should be most familiar with:
* Dopamine – Responsible for the reward center of your brain, important for
controlling behavior, as in impulsivity, ADHD, ODD, DMDD, OCD and even addiction
* Serotonin – Regulates positive mood, helps with memory and learning, regulates sleep
* Oxytocin – The ‘cuddle hormone,’ relieves pain during childbirth. Serotonin and
oxytocin both stimulate the vagus nerve which controls organ function.
* Acetylcholine – Responsible for memory and learning
* GABA – (Gamma-Aminobutryic Acid) – prevents neurons from becoming over excited,
reduces stress and anxiety
SNAP - How Exactly Does It Affect The Neurotransmitters
Rather than medicating people, scientists focus on natural ways to balance these
neurotransmitters to reduce certain symptoms, including anxiety, depression, mood,
focus, and many more.
SNAP includes many nutrients known to affect neurotransmitters that are important in
regulating the behaviors and symptoms related to ADHD, ADD, ODD, DMDD, depression,
anxiety and more.
SNAP - WHAT ARE THE NUTRIENTS ??
WHY WILL THEY HELP NEUROTRANSMITTERS ??
DMAE
- Decreases anxiety, boosts dopamine effects and as been used successfully to
treat patients with ADHD.
- Taking DMAE even for a couple of weeks has been shown to be significantly effective
with depression.
- Helps with social- phobias commonly associated with ADHD.
- The stimulant effect of DMAE is significantly different that that which is produced
by prescription amphetamines and stimulant drugs.
- Helps with ADHD due to its safe
and mild stimulant effect - without affecting sleep.
-
Does not have a quick drug like pick-up or come-down effect.
- People who have
taken DMAE for three to four weeks reported that they feel a mild stimulation
continually, without side effects.
- When DMAE is discontinued, no depression
or let-down occurs
- Has been reported as helping to elevate mood, improve memory and learning, and
heighten intelligence.
PHOSYDYTLSERINE
- After two months, compared to placebo, kids in the phosphatidylserine group had much
better short-term memory of sounds they had just heard, and recognized and reacted
more quickly to visual imagery.
- Symptoms of ADHD decreased seven times as much
for phosphatidylserine, short-term memory improved more than 2.5 times, and errors
due to inattention decreased 93 percent while increasing 11 percent for placebo, all
without side effects.

RHODIOLA
- Functions as a brain amplifier
- Helps to achieve mental
clarity, focus and concentration.
- It’s Adderall without the anxiety.
- It makes one feel more pleasant and capable
- Great for self-esteem and confidence.
GRAPESEED
- Helps by providing support for proper functioning of brain.
- Contains Vitamin E, flavonoids, and linoleic acid.
- OPCs boast several health benefits, including antioxidants and antihistamine
properties.
- They are not only helpful in relieving ADHD symptoms, but also aid in
reducing cancer risk, heart diseases, and skin disorders.
- The OPCs found in grape seed extract are useful to ADHD patients because they
support proper functioning of brain.
- The body's production of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, dopamine, and
serotonin require Vitamin C.
- As OPCs aid Vitamin C work better, they support
the production of the neurotransmitters.
Norepinephrine and dopamine are effective in regulating attention disorders and
hyperactivity. When they are not produced in sufficient amount, symptoms of ADHD can
occur.
L_TYROSINE
- In the brain, L-Tyrosine becomes a constituent element of key neurotransmitters
dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
- These natural hormones are known to govern the body’s fight or flight responses,
trigger reactions to stressful stimuli.
- One of these reactions is a calm, focused mental state, which the brain needs to
handle stressful situations successfully.
- By boosting amounts of these chemicals and also initiating their re-uptake and
recycling, L-Tyrosine helps ensure hormone levels remain balanced and never spike up
or down.
- The result is a focused, energetic, confident state of mind, which makes
dealing with stress and distractions easier.
- Amphetamines like Adderall create a harsh, less nuanced effect, sending the user on
a roller coaster of extreme highs and lows.
- L-Tyrosine represents a more natural approach to creating mental focus, positive
energy, and lasting stability.
NAC (N-acetylcysteine)
- There is a growing body of literature exploring the use of NAC in the treatment of
psychiatric illness.
- There is an expanding field of research investigating the benefits of alternatives
to current pharmacological therapies in psychiatry.
- N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is emerging as a useful agent in the treatment of psychiatric
disorders and has been shown effective when compared to prescription drugs such as
Respiradone and Seroquel - without the very dangerous side effects that come along
with them.
L-TAURINE
- Taurine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, whose main use has been to help treat
epilepsy and other excitable brain states, where it functions as a mild sedative.
- Taurine's efficacy for these conditions makes it effective for a
nutritional approach to ADD/ADHD.
- Taurine is the second-most important inhibitory transmitter in the brain after GABA
- Provides a major role in behavior and emotional control and function.
SNAP is very effective and can help with achieving full control over the symptoms
related to ADD, ADHD, ODD, DMDD, anxiety, depression and more.
Now you know how and why SNAP can and does affect the neurotransmitters in the
brain to bring symptom control.
Great things happen for those suffering with the disorders.
It takes time, the longer you stay on SNAP, the better things get.
Everything takes time to start showing results.
With SNAP, the same is true.
Just remember, even with some prescriptions commonly given, it can take many weeks
and even months to get some good management of the symptoms. Prescriptions can and do come
with many very serious and negative side effects. SNAP is safe, natural and effective.
Be patient, keep going with SNAP and get the symptom control you seek.
Be sure to add the Omega's, they have benefit of their own and they help the body to
best absorb the nutrients in SNAP. Chances are that you've been trying to manage for a while, give SNAP a few weeks and you may find the ongoing symptom management you've been seeking.
Just remember, these disorders are not short-term conditions.
They require a lifetime of management.
