Our diets are not what they used to be. We eat a lot of processed foods that have been stripped of key nutrients. Even if you eat healthy, it is very unlikely that you could “right the wrongs” of a nutritional imbalance, without supplementing your diet. There is an overwhelming amount of documented research to suggest that many people can find adequate support for their mental health concerns through simple dietary supplementation (herbs, vitamins, and amino acids).

People often forget that the brain is an organ, and just like your heart, liver or lungs, needs certain nutrition to function properly. The botanicals in the Protazen® system have been used for centuries in "Eastern Medicine" to promote mental wellness, while the Amino Acids have more recently gained popularity (both in the US and Europe) over the last 30 years. Protazen®’s products have been specifically formulated to promote and support balanced brain function.
Although St. John’s Wort may work for a select few, we believe that Amino Acid supplementation will benefit a much broader spectrum of the population with much less risk for complications. In fact, there was a study done by the National Institutes of Health that indicates St. John's Wort is not effective. Additionally, there's a FDA Public Health Advisory sighting risks associated with St. John’s Wort and its interaction with many prescription drugs used to treat heart disease, depression, seizures, certain cancers, HIV, and transplant rejection. It can also interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives (birth control).Amino Acids produce much fewer and milder side effects because they are not foreign to the body.

What causes me to feel depressed and anxious?
Neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain), including dopamine, other catecholamines, and serotonin, help regulate our moods and emotions. Depressed and/or anxious people tend to have lower levels of these chemicals. Brains cells require specific nutrients to produce neurotransmitters. If the amounts of these key nutrients fall below critical levels, the biochemistry of the brain changes, resulting in fatigue, depression, anxiety, irritability, and other symptoms. In many cases, people with blood levels indicating that they lack key nutrients, respond quite well to supplements. Unfortunately, in the U.S. most physicians do not prescribe natural supplements as a treatment for depressive moods, anxiousness, and other health concerns. Supporting research…>
Although genetics are a big part of the mental health equation, we are also affected by events in our lives. We are all faced with various life stresses that may cause levels of neurotransmitters to fall, temporarily. Those with low chemical levels to begin with, are more likely to experience prolonged depression and/or anxiousness.

I read so many reviews, but focused on those that spoke of the benefits for ADHD and anxiety. I am pretty certain that I have had ADHD all my life (I am 64) and was searching for something to help with focus and anxiety that often comes along with ADHD. Before the end of my first week of using the Protazen Base Formula, I was not nearly as distracted and my anxiety literally vanished. I feel more confident at work because I am able to stay focused more on work and not on wandering thoughts. I will definitely continue to use it!
I've been experimenting with the dosage of Protazen for less than 1 month, but have noticed good results. I have some traits of Borderline Personality Disorder that are very difficult to deal with, but would rather not fall into the heavy medication trap. The 2 pills per day dosage of Protazen doesn't seem to make much difference, but if I take 2 in the morning upon waking, then 2 more in the afternoon, I find myself being much more mellow and just accepting of things that typically irritate me. I recommending giving Protazen a try, and see if it helps you as well.
I've been using the base product for about 3 weeks
I reached for Protazen when I was being prescribed an SSRI medication from my doctor because I was afraid of the side effects of that class of drug. With Protazen, daily exercise and tapping meditation I have greatly improved my symptoms and I am happy with the product. I am hoping the longer I take it the better I will feel!
So the docs wanted me to take a prescription antidepressant. I found this natural alternative and am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I did. It keeps me totally on the level without side effects. Have been taking daily for several years now. I can sure tell the days I forget to take in the morning.
What in the miracle pill is in this ?
I started taking this for about a week now and have noticed a huge difference. I was in the deepest depression of my life for the past 6 months and wow I have the energy to get up and be productive the things that triggered me before are no longer setting me off. I was not expecting this result but so happy I took the leap and bought these .
I have been using Protazen off and on for 15 years during times of added stress and anxiety. Now that I am entering my peri-menopause era I have found that I need to use it everyday. I’m soooo happy I already knew about this product because I didn’t have to see a bunch of Dr’s I just placed my order and started autoship and life is good! If you are struggling with any type of mood or anxiety issues please give this a try, you won’t be sorry.
