How Your Brain is Wired?
Your brain and neurotransmitters are inseparable. Think of your brain as the post office, with neurotransmitters acting like postmen tasked with sending messages and instructions to tell the rest of your body what to do and how to feel.
02.
Demystifying Neurotransmitters
There are several postmen (aka neurotransmitters) responsible for different sets of instructions meant for unique postal codes (aka parts of your body). Let's get into some super important ones.
a.
Dopamine
Dopamine, aka the "feel good" hormone, is your brain’s motivation machine. It elevates your learning ability and memory, and gives you that satisfying rush when you cross off your to-do list.
b.
Serotonin
Serotonin is your mood regulator manager, keeping you balanced, helping you sleep and is a powerful antidepressant.
BONUS: It also aids your digestion & metabolism.
c.
Acetycholine
Acetylcholine is your memory coach, making sure you remember where you left your phone (and everything else). It also keeps your attention on what’s important and promotes REM sleep.
d.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is your brain's chill-out button that tells your mind to relax and stop racing. It is known for producing a calming effect.

Why Nao?
With Nao Health supplements, your body gets the fuel it needs to keep these neurotransmitters firing on all cylinders. Day or night, your brain’s got our support to perform like a champ!

Like many people around me, I found myself juggling work pressures, family obligations and the complexities of modern life overwhelming. When it became clear I wasn't alone, I was inspired to develop products that target the root causes of these issues.

Jass Liew
Co-Founder
Jass is a pharmacist by training. She has 15 years of combined experience in clinical practice, large pharma (Novartis, AstraZeneca) and consumer healthcare (P&G Health). While pursuing her MBA in INSEAD, she rekindled her childhood passion in entrepreneurship. This started her on a journey to discover her 'ikigai', which she realized lies in healthcare innovation and personal empowerment.
Whilst in business school and having to juggle a full time job, Jass realized her classmates and her were always looking for an extra boost of focus and energy, or simply trying to get a better night's sleep. Nothing in the market seemed to work! This was the lightbulb moment that inspired her to create something that can help people struggling with the same needs.
The birth of Nao Health is the culmination of years of experience and research spent on understanding the role of neurotransmitters, and how we can further modulate them to be the best versions of ourselves.
