- 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).

|
|
Chamomile
|

|
|
Lemon Balm
|

- Supports relaxed sleep via enhanced REM cycles reduced stress at bedtime (254,225).
|
|
Passion Flower

|
|
Hops
|

|
|
St. John’s Wort
|
- Combats depression and supports a positive mood (249,250).
|
|
GABA
|
- Supports relaxation, positive mood, increased memory, reduced anxiety, blood sugar regulation, and increased growth hormone production (102).
|
|
Skullcap
|
- Supports calming mood and relaxation.
|
|
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).
|
|
Ashwagandha
