Ginseng Extract
The biochemical mechanisms of ginseng remain unclear, although there is extensive literature that deals with ginseng's effects on the brain (memory, learning, and behavior), neuroendocrine function, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, immune function, and the cardiovascular system.
St. John's Wort
St. John's wort has been used for centuries to treat mental disorders as well as nerve pain. In ancient times, doctors and herbalists (specialists in herbs) wrote about its use as a sedative and treatment for malaria as well as a balm for wounds, burns, and insect bites. Today, St. John's wort is used by some people to treat mild to moderate depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders.
5HTP
L-5-HTP is absorbed directly into the brain. L-5-HTP is only one biochemical step away from converting to serotonin. Low levels of serotonin are one major biochemical cause of depression.
