L-Theanine

L-Theanine is a natural amino acid found in green tea, known for its calming effects on the mind. Studies show that L-Theanine significantly increases alpha brain wave activity—the same type of brain waves commonly associated with meditation and deep relaxation. This shift in brain activity helps promote a calm, peaceful state of mind. Alpha waves are also linked to enhanced creativity and more fluid, imaginative thinking.

Mitragynine

Mitragynine is extracted from the leaves of the kratom tree, a tropical tree in the coffee family native to Southeast Asia. Traditionally used in herbal medicine for centuries, it has been valued for its ability to elevate mood, promote relaxation, and ease physical discomfort.

Magnesium Glycinate

About half of people in the US have a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium helps balance the body's stress response by regulating cortisol (the primary stress hormone). By keeping cortisol levels balanced, magnesium glycinate helps the body recover more efficiently from stressful situations and promotes overall emotional and physical well-being. Magnesium also binds to and activates GABA receptors, which helps to inhibit overactive neural signals, reducing feelings of tension, anxiety, and restlessness, promoting a deeper sense of calm and mental clarity.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 plays an important role in regulating estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone—the key reproductive hormones that influence physical and emotional well-being in both men and women. In women, low D3 levels have been linked to irregular menstrual cycles, PMS symptoms, and hormonal conditions like PCOS. In men, Vitamin D3 plays a role in maintaining testosterone production. Research has shown that low D3 levels are often linked with low testosterone, which can contribute to reduced energy, mood issues, lower libido, and difficulty building or maintaining muscle.

Vitamin B6

Nearly 1 in 4 Americans have low B6 levels. Vitamin B6 is essential for brain health, mood regulation, and the production of key neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. These neurotransmitters are crucial for mood stability and emotional well-being. Low levels of these neurotransmitters can lead to mood disturbances, irritability, anxiety, and even depression.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 helps maintain the myelin sheath, the protective covering around nerves. This allows for fast and efficient communication between brain cells, which is crucial for memory, learning, and overall brain performance. B12 also helps maintain a healthy circadian rhythm, which tells your body when to feel alert and when to wind down. Some studies suggest that B12 supplementation may improve sleep patterns in people with sleep disorders, especially when combined with other supportive nutrients like B6 and magnesium.
