Mental Health

Natura’s fundamental approach to balanced mental health starts with the use of adaptogens that support the body’s stress response and harmonize the neuroendocrine network. To more specifically address mental wellness, combining key nutrients with supportive botanical agents generates synergistic effects for enhancing cognition function and improving mood. Key targets include calming the central nervous system, promoting healthy cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, and appropriately applying mood-enhancing or calming therapies based on presentation.
