200 Mg Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is involved in hundreds of biochemical reactions. Every cell in your body contains it and needs it to function, but, unfortunately, 50% of people in the U.S. and Europe have suboptimal levels.
Magnesium is involved in:
- Energy creation: Helps convert food into energy.
- Nervous system regulation: Helps regulate neurotransmitters, which send messages through the brain and nervous system.
- Protein formulation: Helps convert new protein for amino acids.
- Gene maintenance: Helps create and repair RNA and DNA.
Magnesium and Depression
Magnesium plays a vital role in overall brain function and mood and suboptimal levels have been directly linked to an increased risk of depression. As Healthline reported, "supplementing with this mineral may help reduce symptoms of depression and in some cases, the results can be dramatic. In a randomized controlled trial that included older depressed adults, 450 mg of magnesium supplementation daily was found to be as, and in some cases even more effective than an antidepressant." Numerous other studies have been done to support this notion.
200 mg L-Theanine
L-Theanine is a non-essential amino acid commonly found in black and green tea and plays a fundamental role in maintaining a healthy mental state.
L-theanine has many benefits including:
- Stress and anxiety relief
- Better immunity
- Increased focus (when paired with caffeine)
- Blood pressure control
- Improved sleep quality and duration
- Sinusitis relief
L-theanine has shown the ability to reduce stress and anxiety in individuals who are dealing with stressful situations. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry which focused on people with Schizophrenia, researchers found that L-theanine decreased stress and anxiety and improved Schizophrenia symptoms. Numerous studies support this idea.
100 Mg Rhodiola Rosea Extract 4:1
Rhodiola rosea is a flowering herb grown in the cold, high-altitude regions of Europe and Asia. Rhodiola has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to help treat anxiety, stress, depression, and fatigue. As Kamal Patel, who is the founder of Examine.com stated, "Rhodiola appears to be able to significantly reduce the fatigue and 'burnout' that come from stress and anxiety; numerous trials suggest meaningful effects, particularly in people with stress and anxiety issues." Other names for rhodiola rosea include artic root, golden root, and rose root.
Rhodiola Rosea Is An Adaptogen
Rhodiola rosea is classified by researchers as an adaptogen, which means that rhodiola can effectively help make you less prone to physical and mental stress. Adaptogens, by definition, are a select group of herbs that support the body's natural ability to "adapt" their function to the specific needs of the body. A 2005 study by Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science & Food Safety titled Rhodiola Rosea: A Versatile Adaptogen stated, "The main effects of adaptogens are increased availability of energy during the day, a reduction in stressed feelings, increased endurance, greater mental alertness, and deep and restful sleep."Additional benefits of Rhodiola Rosea include:
- Mild-to-moderate depression relief
- Stress and anxiety relief
- Reduced fatigue
- Improved mental and physical performance
- Bipolar disorder
750 mg Ashwagandha Root Extract 4:1
Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb that is classified as an adaptogen, meaning it can help the body manage stress and has been around for over 3,000 years to treat a variety of conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, and even cognitive decline. There are many proven benefits to supplementing with ashwagandha. These benefits include but are not limited to:
- Reduced blood sugar levels
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Reduce depression
- Reduce stress hormone levels (cortisol).
- Reduce inflammation throughout the entire body
Several controlled randomized human studies have shown that ashwagandha can reduce symptoms in people with stress and anxiety. According to Healthline, "in a 60-day study in 64 people with chronic stress, those in the group that supplemented with ashwagandha reported a 69% reduction in anxiety and insomnia, on average, compared with 11% in the placebo group."
100 Mg 5-HTP (L-Hydrotrytophan)
5-Hydrotryptophan, also know as 5-HTP is an amino acid that your body naturally produces. Your body uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin—a chemical that has a variety of functions in the human body. It is often refered to as the happy chemical because it contributes to overall well-being and happiness.
5-HTP Can Help With Depression
The positive benefits of 5-HTP on the symptoms of depression has been extensively studied over the years. 5-HTP supplements are thought to help treat depression as well as stress and anxiety by increasing serotonin levels.
Additionally:
- 5-HTP can help reduce migraine frequency and duration
- A recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in eighteen patients with sleep disorders showed that a combination of 5-HTP and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) "significantly reduced the time it took to fall asleep, increased sleep duration, and improved sleep quality."
- 5-HTP has shown the ability to increase feelings of fullness allowing you to eat less and thus lose weight
