1. Dopamine (Dopamine)

Function: Help reduce pain and create a feeling of happiness after exercising or laughing

The mechanism of action of resveratrol extracted from mulberry and Happy Hormone.
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol. Found in mulberry and has the qualities of Antioxidants (Antioxidant) and anti-inflammatory substances (Anti-inflammatory) There are many studies that explain the mechanism of enhancing the functioning of Happy Hormone as follows:
1. Stimulate the secretion of serotonin (Serotonin)
Resveratrol affects the activity of enzymes involved in making serotonin (such as Tryptophan Hydroxylase).
Helps increase serotonin levels in the brain, calms the brain, and reduces anxiety. and enhance sleep
2. Increase the function of dopamine (Dopamine)
Resveratrol reduces brain inflammation. (Neuroinflammation) and increases the sensitivity of dopamine receptors (Dopamine Receptor)
As a result, the brain responds better to happiness and motivation.
3. Protect nerve cells, reduce degeneration (Neuroprotection)
With antioxidant properties Resveratrol reduces oxidative stress (Oxidative Stress).
Protects brain cells involved in making and regulating happy hormones.
4. Strengthen hormonal balance (Hormonal Balance)
Resveratrol indirectly stimulates oxytocin secretion. By reducing the stress hormone (Cortisol) and causing the brain to enter a more relaxed state.
5. Helps stimulate the creation of endorphins (Endorphins).
Research has shown that resveratrol can enhance the effects of endorphins. Helps you feel happy and reduces symptoms of depression.
