![]() Stress Controlled by Leptin
Stress implies that there is an increased need for energy. Leptin, which is overall in charge of your body's energy-spending systems, also regulates your adrenal and nervous system response to stress. When leptin systems are working efficiently then you have a better ability to tolerate stress, do not feel wired up from stress, do not feel exhausted from stress, and do not eat in response to stress. The heightened rate of metabolic demand from stress naturally produces more inflammatory trash as a byproduct. Like a power boat speeding through the water, the wake (inflammatory trash) is based on how fast you are going. If you are already low on energy, then your power boat is already sputtering. In this case your engines can pour out a lot of black smoke even though you aren't going very fast. Too much inflammatory trash throws a monkey wrench into leptin and thyroid function. Thus, one key aspect of stress-boosting nutrition is to keep making energy, especially in your nerves, in an adequate amount to offset the demands of stress and thereby stay above the inflammatory feeling of wear and tear.* The nutrients in Stress Helper® (pantethine, acetyl-l-carnitine, and carnosine) are designed to offset the inflammatory burden of stress on your nerves, facilitate a higher level of energy production, and help your burn fat. This triple role of these specialty nutrients play can help to offset wear and tear, reduce mental friction, and help leptin systems cope with demands.* Pantethine directly supports the function of your adrenal glands, helping you to naturally produce cortisol as needed. At the same time pantethine produces Co-Enzyme A (CoA), an essential molecule that helps your body metabolize fats and carbohydrates to produce ATP. Pantethine also assists the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a nerve compound that significantly helps mood and relieves the feeling of wear and tear.* Acetyl-L-Carnitine has a general affect on improving the energetic function of brain cells, supporting the flow of all neurotransmitters, and acting as a nerve antioxidant to help buffer stress. It has been shown to promote the natural process of new nerve fiber growth. It has been well studied for its beneficial effects on memory and mental task performance. It directly helps cells make energy by enhancing how cells use oxygen to burn calories in the Krebs engines, enhancing the function of a vital enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase. It helps with beta oxidation (the burning of fat for energy).* Carnosine is a powerful protector of nerves from friction. It is one of the very best anti-irritation nutrients known. It has a general anti-aging and anti wear and tear function on numerous systems in your body -- especially nerves.*
Note: All three of the nutrients in Stress Helper are also available as individual supplements. One capsule of Stress Helper provides 350 mg of acetyl-l-carnitine, 150 mg of pantethine, and 50 mg of carnosine. The stand alone supplements contain 500 mg acetyl-l-carnitine per capsule, 300 mg pantethine per capsule, or 500 mg carnosine per capsule.
