Neurotrophin

Brain-nourishing proteins that maintain and strengthen neural connections.

Definition

Natural proteins that promote neuronal growth, survival, and differentiation, essential for neural plasticity and learning.

How it works

Neurotrophins are growth factors produced by the brain and peripheral tissues, supporting existing neurons and encouraging new neuronal growth.

Role

Support neuronal survival, promote neurogenesis, and maintain neural plasticity for better mental health.

Examples

  • BDNF, NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), GDNF (Glial cell line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), NT-3 (Neurotrophin-3)

Recommendations

Regular physical activity (at least 30 minutes daily), consume antioxidant-rich foods, and maintain good sleep quality to optimize your natural neurotrophin production.

Key takeaway

Naturally stimulating your neurotrophins reinforces the biological foundations of your mental well-being.
