Calm Day (60 Caps)
This formula is designed to support the neurotransmitters
dopamine and serotonin, with the potential to improve
problems with sleep and anxiety.*
Neurotransmitters are natural messengers
in the nervous system that send signals
from one nerve cell across a synapse
to another nerve cell or target organ.
Serotonin plays a role in sleep, mood,
intestinal function, pain control, and
inflammation. Dopamine plays a role in cognitive function,
memory, learning, and pleasure. In our bodies, dopamine is
released as a result of rewarding experiences. Certain nutrients
and amino acids may help to balance levels of neurotransmitters
by providing co-factors that assist in the body’s ability to
manufacture neurotransmitters.*
About the Ingredients
Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring
amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain.
Neurotransmitters function as chemical messengers. GABA is
considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter because it blocks,
or inhibits, certain brain signals and decreases activity in your
nervous system. When GABA attaches to a protein in your brain
known as a GABA receptor, it produces a calming effect. This can
help with feelings of anxiety, stress, and fear. It may also help
to prevent seizures. As a result of these properties, GABA has
also become a popular supplement in recent years. This is partly
because it isn’t available from many food sources.
L-Taurine- is an essential amino acid and a GABA-receptor
agonist, meaning it produces a GABA-like effect in the body.
GABA is a sedating, inhibitory neurotransmitter. In animal
studies, application of taurine with GABA, or taurine with glycine
produced stronger effects than taking either glycine or GABA
alone. Taurine is used to enhance sleep quality.
L-Glycine- is a non-essential amino acid. It has been used to
protect brain cells after ischemic stroke. Glycine is also thought to
promote a sense of well-being and reduce anxiety. Research has
shown that glycine can subjectively and objectively improve sleep
quality. In a study where people’s sleep was restricted, glycine
also reduced daytime sleepiness.
Vitamin B-5 (as d-calcium pantothenate- is a water-soluble
B vitamin with numerous biological roles. Vitamin B-5 is used
by the body to manufacture, among other things, coenzyme A
which is an important compound for energy metabolism and the
production of fatty acids, cholesterol, and the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine. D-Calcium pantothenate the preferred,
metabolically active form of B-5 used in higher quality nutritional
supplements.
Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxal 5-phosphate)- is a water-soluble
B vitamin that performs many functions in the body,
including as a co-factor in several reactions of amino acid
metabolism. Specifically, B-6 – dependent enzymes assist in
the biosynthesis of the important neurotransmitters GABA,
dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
Pyridoxal 5-phosphate is the preferred, metabolically active
form of B-6 used in higher quality nutritional supplements.
Suntheanine® (L-Theanine) stimulates activity in the brain known
as alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental
state. Human clinical trials have shown Suntheanine® to promote
an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness, as indicated by
an increase in Alpha brain waves, and a decrease in Beta brain
waves. Suntheanine® is protected by over 40 U.S. and international
patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer specific
production processes.
