Ingredients
GABA
Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid
Gamma aminobutyric acid or (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. Neurotransmitters function as chemical messengers. GABA is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it blocks, or inhibits certain brain signals and decreases activity in your nervous system.
GABA’s big role in the body is to reduce the activity of neurons in the brain and central nervous system, which in turn has a broad range of effects on the body and mind, including increased relaxation, reduced stress, a more calm, balanced mood, alleviation of pain, and a boost to sleep.
GABA’s natural calming effect on the brain has led to countless claims about the use of GABA supplements to reduce stress. Too much stress is linked to poor sleep, a weaker immune system, and a higher risk of depression and anxiety.
SAM-e
S-Adenosyl Methionine
SAM-e is a compound produced naturally by the human body. It acts on a number of important molecules including hormones, neurotransmitters, fatty acids, DNA, proteins and cell membranes. When used as a supplement it can enhance mood, brain and neural function, joint health and liver detoxification.
SAM-e has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties. Low levels of SAM-e have been observed with various diseases such as depression, Alzheimer's and liver disease. Since its side effects are less than those of many antidepressants, Sam-e may be tolerated better by most.
Many studies show that SAM-e helps relieve the pain of osteoarthritis and well as benefits in the treating of fibromyalgia. SAM-e is not found in food and if not produced naturally, strongly encouraged to take in supplement form.
ASHWAGANDHA
Withania Somnifera
Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb, commonly referred to as Indian ginseng. It is classified as an adaptogen, meaning that it can help your body manage stress. Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, a form of alternative medicine based on Indian principles of natural healing.
Used for more than 3,000 years to relive stress, increase energy levels and improve concentration. Many of its health benefits are attributed to its high concentration of withanolides, which have been shown to fight inflammation and tumor growth as well as powerful effects on some male reproductive health.
Research has shown that it promotes antioxidant activity that protects nerve cells from harmful radicals. Protecting against harmful radicals has been shown to improve brain function, including concentration, memory and mental health.
