How It Works

GABA

GABA is a non-essential amino acid that has been shown to calm brain activity and maintain healthy brain function. It affects the central nervous system by reducing the number of neurons firing in the brain, thus calming brain activity to help you feel less stressed and more relaxed. GABA also helps lower cortisol levels which contributes to its stress-reducing effects. GABA has been referred to as "the anxiety amino acid". GABA can benefit people with overstimulated nervous systems who find it difficult to relax or who have trouble focusing on one task. GABA may also enhance sleep by helping you to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and feel more rested when you wake up.

L-Glutamine

L-glutamine supports healthy brain activity and mental ability. This amazing amino serves as a precursor of the neurotransmitter amino acids in the brain and is important in supplying the brain with energy. In addition, l-glutamine supports cellular growth, energy and repair, and provides energy to the immune and digestive systems, supporting the gut lining, microbiome and gut immune response to help protect against gastrointestinal distress.

Passionflower

Passionflower is widely pursued for its variety of relaxing benefits. The flavonoids in passionflower are believed to support healthy nervous system function and provide a sense of calm. Passionflower leaves have been used traditionally as a mild calmative. In fact, Algonquin Indians used passionflower tea to help soothe their nerves. Passionflower supports the nervous system in a variety of ways. Many have found that it helps with relaxation of tense muscles. Passionflower is also commonly used to promote a restful night’s sleep.

Taurine

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that supports immune health, heart health, and nervous system function. Taurine performs many roles in the body, including working as a neurotransmitter in the brain where it may help promote healthy cognitive function. Taurine also plays an important role in energy production and provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Dietary sources of taurine are animal proteins such as eggs, meat and fish, with very little taurine found in plants. Fortunately for vegetarians and vegans, the body can usually produce most of its own taurine from other amino acids, although the body may require larger amounts in times of illness or stress.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a super-food, rich in easily absorbed nutrients. Spirulina contains two-and-a-half times more vitamin B12 than liver, is the best botanical source of complete protein available, and contains several antioxidant-rich carotenoids. It has been used traditionally as food for its nutritional values dating back to the 16th century. Today, NASA uses spirulina for space travel due to the wide range of nutrients provided in a small amount. Spirulina provides support for the nervous system and healthy brain function. Its rich supply of antioxidants help protect the brain from free radical damage. Spirulina also contains the amino acid tryptophan, which helps balance the nervous system and plays a key role in the body's production of serotonin and the regulation of stress, mood and appetite.
