Munica Pruriens |
- Supports blood sugar regulation, sexual enhancement, aids an anti-inflammatory agent, combats neurodegenerative disease, and supports antimicrobial activity (128).
- Supports anti-aging, rheumatoid, arthritis, diabetes, male infertility, and nervous disorders (128).
- Supports male sexual health via increased sperm motility and increased free testosterone (128).
- Combats neurodegenerative disease via stimulation of dopaminergic neurons (129).
- Supports blood sugar health via reduced blood glucose levels, improved insulin transport, and lowered H1AC levels (130).
|
St. John’s Wort |
- Combats depression and supports 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 |
- 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).
|
Bacopa |
- Supports cognitive function, memory, alertness, and aids as an anti-stress agent (57).
- May combat inflammatory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, dropsy, and rheumatism (56,59).
- Bacopa has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages (immune cells) and inhibits the release of IL-6 and TNF-α (inflammatory markers) from monocytes (immune cells) (58,59,).
- Promising candidate for the development of novel therapeutics that target neuroinflammation and have the potential for treating a wide range of CNS disorders including Alzheimer's disease, depression, and schizophrenia (59).
|
Magnolia |
- Supports antioxidant function, positive mood, and aids a neuroprotective agent (263,264).
- Supports relaxed shorten sleep latency and regulated gamma‐aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) activity (receptor which controls sleep) (263,264).
|
Griffonia Seed Ext -5-HTP |
- Supports healthy sleep patterns, mood, reduced anxiety, and supports the gut brain axis (261).
- Supports healthy sleep patterns via enhanced circadian rhythm and increased natural melatonin production (261).
- Supports gut brain axis via natural increased production of serotonin (neurotransmitter) in gut neurons (260, 261).
|
Valarian Root |
- Reduces stress, enhances sleep, and improved mood (244,245).
- Enhances positive mood and sleep via regulated gamma‐aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) activity (receptor which controls sleep) (244, 245).
