• Relax & Focus is an innovative powdered drink mix that promotes a calm, relaxed, well-balanced emotional and physiological state.*

Ingredients:

Inositol: Present as the distinct isomer myo-inositol, inositol is a six - carbon cyclic polyalcohol occurring naturally in all living cells. The following contains some inositol, beans, grains, bean, fruits and nuts. Also, pieces of studies have shown that a 1800-2500–calorie daily diet provide only 225-1500 mg of myo-inositol, against the about 100% of ingested myo- inositol absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, where half becomes lipid bound. In contrast to low plasma concentration, the peripheral nerves have an extraordinarily high concentration of myo-inositol. Inositol is a precursor for the second-messenger phosphatidyl-inositol system, which influence mood status differently than precursors for neurotransmitters. Based upon validated scoring procedures, double-blind, controlled, random-order crossover clinical trials using up to 18 g of myo-inositol per day for a month have demonstrated effectiveness with minimal to no side effects.

Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid): Taurine is found mainly in the intracellular space of tissues in free form . This conditionally vital amino acid maintains and coordinate cell volume via osmoregulation, a process that regulate and balance excessive or insufficient concentrations of electrolytes. In addition to its antioxidant balancing functions, taurine is important to neurotransmission, cardiac function and neuroregulation.] Taurine supplementation also increases GABA. Considered neuroprotective, taurine modulates the ability of mitochondria to buffer intracellular calcium when neurons are over stimulated and damaged. Thus, preventing cell death.

L-Theanine (N-ethyl-L-glutamine): L-Theanine is a naturally- occurring, biologically active, free-form amino acid, L-theanine known for its relaxation support, L-theanine may also support nerve health and cognition lowering glutamate levels by preventing transport of glutamate’s precursor, glutamine. It may also inhibit neurotransmission, cause inhibitory neurotransmission via glycine receptors, and thereby reduce neuronal overstimulation. L-theanine’s ability to relax the mind without inducing drowsiness has been documented by an increase in alpha wave activity during EEG recording.

Magnesium Popularly referred to as the relaxation mineral, magnesium assists in the transmission of nerve impulses and is essential to over 280 enzymatic reactions in the body. Magnesium supplementation supports a healthy mood, including during the menstrual cycle when mood changes is experienced.. In this formula we use a special ultra high absorption magnesium that have 5 times the bio availability compared to magnesium oxide.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid): This neurotransmitter is an amino acid manufactured in brain cells from glutamate. Abundant in the cerebral cortex, increases the production of alpha waves directly related to a relaxed and focused stat while decreasing beta waves which is directly related to nervousness, and hyperactivity. Accurate and sufficient GABA results in the smooth, calming, regular rhythmic flow of electrical impulses in the brain is needed for emotional well-being.
