Brainbacs

The capsule for the day (Brainbacs Day) is intended to support focus and mental balance.¹ ² The key ingredients are:

L-TRYPTOPHAN: This essential amino acid is a direct precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin, which, as the “happiness hormone,” plays a central role in emotional balance.

BACTERIAL STRAINS: The blend of five different bacterial strains (Bifizen® and Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274) acts on the so-called gut-brain axis. Since a large proportion of serotonin is produced in the gut, supporting the gut microbiome is also intended to promote the brain’s well-being.

VITAMINS B6 and B12: These vitamins contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function. They also help reduce tiredness and fatigue.¹ ²

Mode of action at night (Brainbacs Night).
The capsule for nighttime is designed to promote recovery and inner calm.³ The main components are:

L-TRYPTOPHAN: L-tryptophan is also contained in the nighttime capsule. Here, it serves as a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, known as the sleep hormone, and is intended to promote mental calm before bedtime.

ATA MG® (magnesium acetyltaurinate): This is a special, patented form of magnesium with high bioavailability that is intended to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively than conventional magnesium compounds. Magnesium supports the nervous system, may improve resilience to stress, and also contributes to reducing tiredness.³

Brainbacs takes a holistic approach by supporting the connection between the gut and the brain (gut-brain axis) through its daytime and nighttime routines.

Yes, vegans and vegetarians can take the product without concern.

Yes, long-term use is advisable—especially when it comes to supporting the nervous system and mental well-being over time.¹ ² ³

Micronutrients such as vitamins B6 and B12 contribute scientifically proven benefits to the normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological function.¹ ² Since these vitamins are water-soluble and cannot be stored permanently in the body, continuous intake is essential to meet the needs in the long term.

Furthermore, the included bacterial strains can positively influence emotional balance through the so-called gut-brain axis. Regular use helps stabilize the balance of the microbiome and strengthens the body’s stress processing over time. Studies suggest that the positive effects of probiotic supplements do not occur immediately but develop through consistent use over several weeks.

Brainbacs can be combined with all mybacs® products without hesitation & a combination is considered sensible.

The combination with medication should be carefully considered. It is not recommended to take it at the same time as other preparations containing high amounts of L-tryptophan or 5-HTP, as this can lead to excessive stimulation of the serotonin balance. Caution should also be exercised when taking antidepressants or other psychotropic drugs at the same time, especially those that interfere with the serotonergic metabolism (e.g. SSRIs, MAO inhibitors). In such cases, undesirable interactions such as the so-called serotonergic syndrome may occur in rare cases.

If you are taking appropriate medication or are unsure, we strongly recommend that you discuss the combination with your doctor in advance.

From a professional perspective, this product should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in cases of a known intolerance. The reason is that this product may contain ingredients that, particularly during pregnancy, may be considered unsafe due to their hormonal, labor-inducing, or stimulating effects.
