- Infinity Juice – high-protein, low-sugar concentrate of sunflower and pea shoots supports neurotransmitter building blocks
Why It Works
Depression is increasingly understood as having a strong nutritional and inflammatory component. Folate deficiency is one of the most consistent nutritional findings in depression — pea shoots deliver a high concentration. Magnesium, found in wheatgrass and sunflower shoots, regulates the NMDA receptor involved in mood. B vitamins are cofactors in the production of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Reducing systemic inflammation through alkalizing greens can improve brain chemistry. High protein in Infinity Juice provides amino acid building blocks the brain uses to produce serotonin and dopamine.
