Mood

8 nutrients to support both a healthy mind and body

Our brain is constantly functioning. It manages all our movements, breathing, heartbeat, senses and thoughts. It’s running 24/7 and requires a constant supply of nutrition to keep functioning optimally. The foods that you eat directly affect the structure and function of your brain, and ultimately your mood. Foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants help to protect your brain from oxidative stress and can help boost your frame of mind.


Top 8 nutrients for mood in SOS Original:

Zinc

As an essential mineral for your body, zinc plays a role in cellular metabolism, immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Increasingly, evidence is indicating that zinc plays a crucial role in fighting depression1. Empirical evidence supports a link between zinc deficiency and risk of depression as well as reversal of depressive symptoms with the addition of zinc to the diet2.

Selenium

Selenium is an essential mineral and must be obtained through your diet. It’s only needed in small amounts and plays a major role in critical processes including your metabolism and thyroid function. Adding selenium to your diet can help boost your mood and studies have shown improvements in anxiety, depression, and tiredness with increased levels of selenium1,2.

Magnesium

One of the most abundant minerals in your body, magnesium plays an important role in numerous bodily functions including support of the central nervous system. Several studies have shown that magnesium could help in the support of multiple mental disorders including anxiety and depression1. This randomized clinical trial indicates that supplementation with magnesium can significantly reduce the experience of mild to moderate depression in adults2.

Berries

Among the healthiest foods available, berries are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients that provide a multitude of benefits for your body. In particular, blueberries have been shown to possibly decrease the risk of depression1. Berries can also help regulate and prevent spikes of cortisol levels while reducing cognitive decline2.

Probiotics

A good balance and diversity of gut bacteria can have a positive impact on your health through multiple pathways. In addition to supporting digestion and gut related issues, probiotics may help boost your mood and cognitive function1. The link between your gut and brain could have a significant impact on your emotional state2 and may influence feelings of anxiety and chronic fatigue3.

B Complex

As a support for converting foods into energy and for a healthy metabolism, B vitamins help to fuel your brain. Studies have shown that a healthy balance of B vitamins can help with depression, anxiety, and stress1. B vitamins can support you with benefits of peace of mind2.

Vitamin C

There may be a link between vitamin C and mood. Even low to normal levels of vitamin C can result in signs of fatigue and depression. A diet rich in vitamin C can improve your overall mood and support healthy neurological function1. In addition to supporting mood, vitamin C may improve cognitive impairment and protect against vascular brain disease2.

Vitamin D3

A significant portion of the population could be at risk of multiple mental conditions including anxiety, forgetfulness, and fatigue from vitamin D deficiency. Studies have shown a positive link between increasing vitamin D levels and improvements in mental health1. Vitamin D has been shown to protect the brain from inflammation and may support cognitive function, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia2.

"I've been making smoothies almost daily for decades. Of all the products I've tried, SOS is by far the most comprehensive and thoughtfully made. It simplifies my life and allows me to ditch all the vitamin pills on my shelf. As an unexpected bonus, I've found that SOS significantly improves recovery after I exercise. Keep up the great work!"

"I am a diabetic, busy and a creature of habit. Primarily, I eat meat and spinach or meat and broccoli... you get the idea. SOS Nutrients helps me balance my diet while on the go, and it helps me keep my A1c (Blood Sugar) levels down. Lastly, at 64, the anti-inflammatory effects of the Turmeric and Black Pepper are appreciated! I am very happy I found SOS!!!"
