What Causes Neurotransmitter Deficiencies?
Neurotransmitter levels decline because of:
Prolonged Emotional or Physical Stress - The body depends on neurotransmitters to help deal with stressful experiences. Prolonged, chronic stress takes it toll on the “stress hormones and neurotransmitters. As stress continues, they become depleted.
Aging - Past age forty, 60% of adults have developed neurotransmitter deficiencies. Aging neurons make smaller amounts of neurotransmitters. Also, as we get older, the body does not respond as effectively to them.
Restrictive Dieting - Low Carb diets and other unhealthy eating habits limit the amounts of basic building blocks available for neurotransmitter synthesis. This is the most common cause of self-induced neurotransmitter deficiencies.
Studies from major universities, including Harvard, MIT, and Oxford, have documented that women on diets significantly deplete their serotonin within three weeks of dieting. This induced serotonin deficiency eventually leads to increased cravings, moodiness and poor motivation. These all contribute to rebound weight gain – the most common yet unfortunate consequence of dieting.

Increasing neurotransmitter production during dieting is strongly encouraged to avoid yo-yo dieting. This is accomplished by taking dietary neurotransmitter precursor supplements during dieting.
| Dopamine works like an 'on/off hunger switch' while serotonin adjusts appetite like a 'dimmer switch' signaling fullness. |
Abnormal Sleep: Poor sleep habits interfere with critical neurotransmitter – hormone cycles. Many neurotransmitters responsible for proper sleep, especially serotonin, are produced during REM sleep around 2-3 a.m. Serotonin converts to melatonin, the sleep hormone. When serotonin levels are low, melatonin levels will also be low. Disrupted sleep occurs and less neurotransmitters are produced causing a vicious cycle.
Certain Medications: Long-term use of diet pills, stimulants, pain pills, narcotics and recreational drugs can deplete neurotransmitter stores. The use of ma huang, ephedra and prescription diet pills (like phen-fen, Fastin, phentermine) use up large amounts of dopamine and serotonin. This can result in “rebound” appetite control problems, low energy, unstable mood and sluggish metabolism.
Neurotoxins: Heavy metal toxicity, chemical pesticides, fertilizers, certain cleaning agents, industrial solvents, and recreational drugs cause damage to the neuron and decrease neurotransmitter production. Excess caffeine, nicotine and alcohol can be neurotoxic. The street drug, Ecstasy, has particularly concerning neurotoxic effects. It can completely drain serotonin and permanently damage the neuron making treatment impossible.
Hormone Imbalances: Hormones influence neurotransmitter release and activity. If hormones are deficient or are off balance, neurotransmitters do not function well.
| Women
crave carbohydrates more than men. |
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a classic example of how low serotonin levels can temporarily shift each month. Mood, appetite and sleep can be severely disrupted one to two weeks before the menstrual cycle.
Another neurotransmitter imbalance occurs during menopause when dramatic changes in mood, energy, sleep, weight, and sexual desire occur.
| Women
have 1/3 less amounts of serotonin than men. |
Genetic Predisposition: Some people are born with a limited ability to make adequate amounts of neurotransmitters. They exhibit deficiency symptoms as children or young adults and often have relatives who suffered from significant mental illnesses. As they get older, affected individuals experience even more profound symptoms and debilitation.
How To Improve Neurotransmitter Deficiencies
NEUROTRANSMITTER SUPPORT is a natural, safe nutritional method of increasing neurotransmitter levels.
Supplement Use: Take one to two CraniYums™ in the morning and one to two in the afternoon or evening. Do not exceed 6 CraniYums™ per day. Allow at least 4 hours between doses.
LONG TERM SUPPORT of neurotransmitters may require 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. The time required varies between individuals. Those with significant depletions may take longer. Once a sufficient effect is achieved, it may be maintained by taking one to two CraniYums™ per day
