During the last several years another fatty acid has made the health-news. It is Omega-7 (or Palmitoleic Acid), found abundantly in the berries of the Sea Buckthorn tree, the most abundant source in the plant kingdom.

This berry not only has oils in the seed but also in the soft pulp. And it contains more than 200 bioactive compounds, including Omega-7, a complete panel of vitamin-E, antioxidants and plant sterols.

There is this wonderful amino acid that has helped many people to relax more during the day. It is called Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, or GABA for short.

GABA is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, stopping nerve cells from over-firing. And when taken together with a B-Complex, it helps fight anxiety and extra stress feelings, even helping with high blood pressure, epilepsy and suppressed sex-drive.

So, why is it exciting to try GABA when life is tough?

Research shows that it has a similar calming effect on the body as the prescription drugs Valium, Librium and other tranquilizers, but without the fear of addiction.

GABA, or Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, is best taken as recommended. In this case “more is not better”. Work your way up if desired, but pay attention to your body’s reaction.

GABA is available in different forms, including capsules and tablets that dissolve under your tongue. You may happily surprised once you give it a try.

When I get asked about the amino acid L-Tyrosine, usually my first reaction is explaining its importance as a food for the thyroid. The other food is IODINE.

L-Tyrosine attaches to iodine atoms to become active thyroid hormone. And since I’ve talked in the past about the rampant misdiagnosing of people with hypothyroidism (or under-active thyroid), supplemental L-Tyrosine would benefit almost everybody.

Tyrosine is also a precursor of adrenaline, and of our neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Neurotransmitters are important for our mood and nervous system, which are often involved with how we eat. Tyrosine therefore helps people lose weight and body-fat.

And, if you are suffering from anxiety, depression, low libido, chronic fatigue and low body temperature, 1,500 mg or so, of this amino acid L-Tyrosine is definitely something you want to research and possibly make part of your daily supplementation.

A good selection, and more info, is available to you …at the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center on North 19th Avenue.
