Benefits Of Each Ingredient
|
Calcium Carbonate
|
-
Supports bone health, muscle function, and cardiovascular health (36,37).
-
Regulates processes of bone resorption, mineralization, and fracture repair (36,37).
-
Increases the effect of physical exercise on bone mineral acquisition in the period preceding puberty (36,37).
-
Prevents the development of preeclampsia (36,37).
|
Vitamin B6
|
-
Serves as a cofactor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions associated in blood sugar regulation, immunity, cardiovascular function, neuronal health, metabolic, and digestive health (38, 40).
-
Reduces plasma glucose (blood sugar levels) via by inhibiting the activity of small-intestinal α-glucosidases (enzymes associated with glucose metabolism) (39).
-
Functions as an antioxidant by counteracting the formation of reactive oxygen species (inflammatory markers) and advanced glycation end-products (38,40).
-
May support blood sugar regulation in women with gestational diabetes (40).
-
Cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA metabolism (40).
|
Magnesium
|
-
Supports optimal nerve function, muscle contractions, cardiovascular, bone health, and decreased anxiety (90,91).
-
Supports biological reactions such as ATP fueled reactions and pancreatic insulin secretion (90,91).
-
Supports reduction systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and healthy HDL levels (90,91).
-
Reduces peripheral cortisol levels in the CNS and supports relaxation and decreased anxiety (90,91).
|
L-Tryptophan
|
-
Decreases anxiety, supports positive mood, supports gut brain axis, and an improved sleep cycle (259,260).
-
Decreases anxiety via increases in 5 HTP (259, 260).
-
Improves circadian rhythm via increased natural melatonin production (259,260).
-
Supports gut brain axis via natural increased production of serotonin in gut neurons (260).
|
Goji Berry
|
-
Supports immune health, vision health, immune health, and aids as a neuroprotective agent (261,262).
-
Supports immune function via carotenoid and polyphenolic free radical scavenging capabilities, reduced DNA damage, and reduced inflammatory cytokines (261).
-
Supports vision health via ocular neuroprotective effects zeaxanthin content (found in goji berry) (262).
-
Increases neuronal protection with potent ameliorative effects on neuronal oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and neuronal cell death (262).
|
Chamomile
|
-
Supports healthy sleep, relaxation, reduced anxiety, and antioxidant support (251,252,253).
-
Supports antioxidant function due to high levels of quercetin (flavonoid antioxidant) (251,252,253).
-
Supports sleep via increases in parasympathetic (relaxation mode) activity, increased benzodiazepine-like hypnotic activity (sleep inducer), and attachment to GABA receptors (251,252,253).
|
Lemon Balm
|
-
Supports healthy sleep, relaxation, reduced anxiety, and antioxidant support (254,255).
-
Supports antioxidant function via ability to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, increased glutathione production (master antioxidant) combat DNA damage (254,225).
-
Supports relaxed sleep via enhanced REM cycles reduced stress at bedtime (254,225).
|
Passion Flower
|
-
Reduces stress, enhances sleep, and improved mood (248).
-
Enhances positive mood and sleep via regulated gamma‐aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) activity (receptor which controls sleep) (248).
|
L-Taurine
|
-
Supports hydration, increased energy, antioxidant function, and increases fat metabolism during aerobic exercise (242,243).
-
Supports antioxidant function via combating reactive oxygen species (243).
-
Increases fat metabolism during exercise via enhanced mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (cells using fat as fuel) (242).
|
Hops
|
|
St. John’s Wort
|
|
GABA
|
-
Supports relaxation, positive mood, increased memory, reduced anxiety, blood sugar regulation, and increased growth hormone production (102).
|
Skullcap
|
|
L-Theanine
|
-
Unique non-protein amino acid found in green tea (Camellia sinensis) (53).
-
Supports mood, mental clarity, and cognitive health, memory, and is a natural anti-depressant/neuroprotective agent (53).
-
Aids as an antidepressant due to partial antagonism for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor manifesting its cognitive optimizing effects (53).
-
Reduces the neuropsychiatric side effects of chronic adolescent THC exposure (54).
