- Reduces plasma glucose (blood sugar levels) by inhibiting the activity of small-intestinal α-glucosidases (enzymes associated with glucose metabolism) (39).

- 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 of systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and healthy HDL levels (90,91).
- Reduces peripheral cortisol levels in the central nervous system (CNS) and supports relaxation and decreased anxiety (90,91).
|
L-Tryptophan |
- Decreases anxiety, supports a positive mood, and improves the gut-brain axis, aiding in 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 the gut-brain axis by naturally increasing the production of serotonin in gut neurons (260).
|
Goji Berry |
- Supports immune health, vision health, and acts 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 of 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 with the ability to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, increase glutathione production (master antioxidant, and combat DNA damage (254,225).
- Supports relaxed sleep through enhanced REM cycles and reduced stress at bedtime (254, 225).
|
Passion Flower |
- Reduces stress, enhances sleep, and improves 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 |
- Combats depression, anxiety, reduces triglycerides, and supports a positive mood (246,247).
|
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 a 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, as well as memory, and is a natural antidepressant and 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 |
- Supports cardiovascular, hormonal, immune, healthy weight loss, mood, and optimized sleep (82,83).
- Reduces stress hormone cortisol, resulting in improved body composition, sex hormone profile, and mood (82,83).
- Improves exercise performance via increased V02 max, muscular endurance, muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth), and decreased muscular fatigue (83).
- Improves quality of sleep by enhancing sleep recovery, reducing plasma cortisol concentrations, and enhancing REM sleep cycles (83).
- Supports hormonal and immune health via reduced production of inflammatory molecules (reactive oxygen species) and simultaneous increases in sex hormones (84).
|
Inositol |
- Supports liver detoxification, combats metabolic syndrome, and acts as an antioxidant (221).
- Combats metabolic syndrome via reduced levels of triglycerides, total- and LDL-cholesterol (221).
