| Genetic SNPs - NEUROTRANSMITTERS | Gene Name | Standard Process Products | MediHerb Products | Research |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Serotonin Receptor-Memory - This genotype is associated with improved episodic memory, which is the ability to recall details regarding personal experiences, names of people, specific events, and what exactly occurred. | Cataplex B Core Protefood Cod Liver Oil |
St John's Wort | ||
| Serotonin Receptor-Stress - This genotype is associated with function of the serotonin receptor gene connected to perceived stress and the ability to regulate chronic stress. This may reduce the probability of low vagal tone, anxiety, depression, and obsessive and compulsive thoughts related to dysregulated serotonin levels. | Cataplex B2 Protefood |
Nevaton Forte | ||
| Dopamine, Adrenaline and Estrogen-COMT - The heterozygous genotype for COMT V158M and H62H scored significantly higher on insight problem-solving tasks and had a greater ability for social facilitation and cooperativeness. | catechol-O-methyltransferase | Drenamin Magnesium Lactate |
Eleuthero | 1. Nature Article 2. PubMed Article 3. MGF Article |
| Glutamate-BDNF - This genotype is associated with glutamate modulation, brain repair, spatial learning, memory, and adaptability. | brain-derived neurotrophic factor | E-Z Mg Cataplex D |
HerbaVital Ashwagandha Complex Adrenal Tonic (call office to order) LivCo Milk Thistle Forte Metabol Complex |
4. PubMed Article 5. Nature Article |
| Cholesterol-APOE - This genotype is associated with cholesterol transport and the maintenance of brain neurons. The ApoE e3 allele improves cognitive fitness, HDL and LDL profiles, viral protection, and the response to plant bioactive compounds. *Consider carbohydrate metabolism and dietary interventions for blood sugar metabolism | Apolipoprotein E | RNA Neuroplex Cod Liver Oil |
Turmeric Forte | |
| Dopamine, Adrenaline and Estrogen-COMT - The heterozygous AG COMT V158M genotype is associated with a slower breakdown of dopamine, adrenaline, and estrogen, creating higher circulating levels in response to stress due to variants in the COMT genes. This may increase your need for magnesium, vitamin C, strength training, and sprints to reduce stress levels. | catechol-O-methyltransferase | Drenamin E-Z Mg Cruciferous Complete |
Eleuthero HerbaVital |
|
| Dopamine Receptors-ANKK1 - This genotype is associated with the density of dopamine receptors, reducing dopamine targets within the striatum of the brain known for rewarding feedback. Lower dopamine targets could lead to a higher likelihood of addictive behaviors, compulsive eating, and ADHD. Getting 8 hours of sleep per night, keeping your blood sugar balanced with adequate protein and fiber, high-intensity exercise, lower media exposure, vitamin D, omega-3ās, and meditation all increase dopamine receptor density. | Ankyrin Repeat And Kinase Domain Containing 1 | Protefood Gastro Fiber Cataplex D Cod Liver Oil Cataplex B Core |
6. PubMed Article 7. PubMed Article 8. PubMed Article |
|
| Histamines and Migraines-DAO - This geneotype is associated with a sensitivity to histamine-induced migraine headaches, especially in women. While not as impactful as the homozygous genotype, a histamine sensitivity could still occur. | Diamine oxidase | Antronex Cyruta Plus Phosfood Liquid |
Remannia Complex | 9. PubMed Article 10. PubMed Article |
| Anandamide-FAAH - This genotype is associated with anandamide levels. Low levels could increase anxiety, pain, pesticide sensitivity and a heightened stress response to threatening situations. You may benefit from aerobic exercise over 30 minutes (especially in altitude), CBD oil, red clover tea (women), kaempferol (raspberries, capers, cumin, cloves, almonds, cherry tomatoes, red wine), cacao, echinacea, rosemary, and hops to increase anandamide levels. | Fatty acid amide hydrolase | Hemp Oil Complex | Echinacea Premium | |
| Brain Health-PEMT - This genotype is associated with dietary choline needs and daily walks for memory, anxiety, and REM sleep. | phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase | RNA Choline Cataplex B2 |
Ginkgo Forte | 11. PubMed Article 12. PubMed Article 13. TF Article |
| Glutamate Transport-SLC17A7 - This genotype is associated with recovery from head injuries. We recommend also reviewing your APOE and BDNF genotype to determine cumulative impact. It is advised to be proactive with zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, Lion's Mane mushroom, magnesium and consistent exercise in case a head injury occurs. | solute carrier family 17 member 7 | Cataplex B2 Cod Liver Oil RNA Neurotrophin PMG E-Z Mg |
Bacopa Complex | 14. PubMed Article 15. Res Gate Article |
| GAD1-responsible for the conversion of glutamate to GABA |
Glutamate Decarboxylase 1 | B6 Niacinamide E-Z Mg Magnesium Lactate |
DiGest Forte | |
| 5-HT2A-The 5-HT2A gene encodes for serotonin receptors found in the brain and central nervous system and is concentrated in the brain region essential for learning and cognition. Polymorphisms in rs6314 may result in reduced episodic memory in young and middle aged individuals |
serotonin 2A receptor | B6 Niacinamide Cataplex B-Core Cod Liver Oil Protefood Cataplex G |
St John's Wort Nevaton Forte |
|
| HNMT C314T-Histamine Nmethyltransferase (HNMT) is a histamine-metabolising enzyme expressed in the brain. This gene is connected to migraines. |
Histamine Nmethyltransferase | Cyruta Plus Phosfood Liquid |
Sinus Forte Rehmannia Complex Saligesic |
16. PubMed Article |
| HNMT-Histamine Nmethyltransferase (HNMT) is a histamine-metabolising enzyme expressed in the brain. This gene is connected to hyperactivity and food dyes. | Histamine Nmethyltransferase | Min-Tran Cod Liver Oil Cataplex B-Core |
Nevaton Forte | 17. PubMed Article |
