Stress, hormonal shifts, overstimulation, and pressure to perform can overwhelm the developing adolescent brain. From school stress to social anxiety and screen overload, today’s teens are constantly stimulated. Add to that biological changes and disrupted sleep, and it’s easy to see why mood swings, irritability, and emotional outbursts are so common. These factors can all interfere with a teen’s ability to regulate emotions in a healthy way.

Balanced neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin are essential for emotional control and mental clarity.Research shows that key neurotransmitters—including GABA, serotonin, and dopamine—play vital roles in emotional stability, stress response, and focus. Nutrients like L-Theanine, Myo-Inositol, and methylated B-vitamins support healthy neurotransmitter activity, helping teens feel more calm, centered, and emotionally equipped to navigate their day.

Low energy, poor focus, or frequent illness could signal nutrition gaps.
