The Science behind RITUEL
Balances Neurotransmitters
Supports maintenance of optimal levels of key brain chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine, to regulate mood, focus, & mental well-being.
Protects FROM Oxidative Stress
Reduces oxidative stress through its powerful antioxidants, promoting better brain health.
Soothes Inflammation
Combats chronic inflammation, which can adversely affect brain function and contribute to mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety
Strengthens Neuroplasticity
Enhances the brain's ability to adapt and form new connections, which is essential for learning, memory, and resilience to stress.
Regulates Blood Sugar
Stabilizes blood sugar levels, preventing mood swings and mental fatigue by providing a steady supply of energy to the brain.
Improves Gut Health
Reinforces gut microbiota, which produces neurotransmitters and reduces inflammation, positively impacting brain functionR

Neurotransmitter Balance
Neurotransmitters are like messengers in your brain, sending signals that control your mood, focus, and overall mental well-being. When these messengers are in balance, you feel good and think clearly.
key neurotransmitters include:
Serotonin : regulates mood, appetite, and sleep. Low levels are linked with anxiety and mood disorder.
Dopamine : influences motivation, reward, and pleasure. It's also associated with ADHD, where low dopamine levels can impair attention and executive function.
Norepinephrine : plays a key role in attention, alertness, and arousal.
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) : an inhibitory neurotransmitter, promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety.
our formula contains :
Saffron helps modulate levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, contributing to its antidepressant effects. (Study Link)
Lion's Mane could prevent memory deficits, potentially by enhancing acetylcholine levels, a neurotransmitter important for learning and memory. (Study Link)

Neuroplasticity
neuroplasticity refers to the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and reorganize itself in response to experiences and environmental changes.
Neuroplasticity is essential for learning, memory formation, and emotional regulation.
Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons, plays a vital role in maintaining brain health and resilience against stress and depression.
our formula contains :
Lion's Mane : well-known for its potential to promote neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, primarily through the stimulation of nerve growth factor. (Study Link)

Inflammation
inflammation is your body's defense response to injury or infection.
Mental health and inflammation are interconnected. Poor mental health can increase inflammation, and chronic inflammation can worsen mental health issues.
Neuroinflammation (or brain inflammation) : is linked to conditions like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines : small proteins that control inflammation, can enter the brain and alter mood, thinking, and behavior.
Microglia : the brain's immune cells, activate during inflammation and can damage brain cells, contributing to mental health problems.
our formula contains :
Saffron : was found to reduce inflammatory markers. (Study Link)
Lion's Mane : has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in experimental studies, including decreased brain inflammation. (Study Link)
4
Oxidative Stress
oxidative stress occurs when harmful molecules called free radicals accumulate in the body and cause damage because there aren't enough antioxidants to neutralize them.
In the brain, oxidative stress can harm brain cells. This damage can lead to problems with thinking and mood and is linked to mental health issues like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.
our formula contains :
Saffron : active compounds like crocin, crocetin, and safranal exhibit significant antioxidant properties. (Study Link)
Lion's Mane : bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, hericenones, and erinacines are known for their antioxidant properties. (Study Link)
Reishi : bioactive compounds like polysaccharides, triterpenes, and ganoderic acids, have been shown to possess antioxidant properties. (Study Link)
5
Blood Sugar Regulation
blood sugar regulation is how the body controls the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood to provide energy and keep it at healthy levels.
The brain needs a steady supply of glucose to function properly. If blood sugar levels are too high or too low, it can affect mood, energy, and thinking. Poor blood sugar regulation is linked to mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline.
our formula contains :
Saffron : potential to regulate blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity. (Study Link)
Lion's Mane : has been studied for its potential to improve blood sugar. (Study Link)
Reishi : potential antidiabetic properties and positive effects on blood glucose levels (Study Link)

Gut Health
gut health refers to the balance and function of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the stomach and intestines.
Gut Microbiota :the gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiota. These microbes play a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function.
Gut-Brain Axis : the gut communicates with the brain through a bidirectional pathway called the gut-brain axis. This communication influences mood, cognition, and behavior.
Research suggests that imbalances in the gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, may contribute to mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and stress-related conditions.
Lion's Mane is known for its positive effects on gut health, primarily due to its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to modulate the gut microbiota. (Study Link)
Reishi is known to influence the gut microbiota and improve gastrointestinal function. (Study Link)
