(PHYSICIAN FORMULATED)

Key Active Ingredients:

1. Proprietary Anxiety and Pain Relief Blend:

    • L-Theanine
    • CBD (Broad-Spectrum)
    • GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)
    • Lemon Balm Extract

2. Proprietary Gummy Base:

    • non-GMO, Organic Cane Sugar
    • Naturally Derived Tapioca
    • Naturally Derived Pectin
    • Pure Triple Filtered Water
    • Natural Flavors and Colors

Evidence-Based Research and Highlights:

  • Proprietary Anxiety and Pain Relief Blend:
    1. L-Theanine:
      • Binds to Glutamate receptors and ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPA, and NMDA) increasing Dopamine and Serotonin levels in the brain. [3]
      • Increases alpha wave activity in the brain.
      • Natural amino acid derivative from green tea.
      • Has multiple human clinical trials showing effectiveness at reducing stress levels in the body and promoting healthy relaxation. [3],[5],[6]
      • Reduces several stress chemicals in the body that attribute to both physical and mental stress. [3],[5],[6]
      • Promotes mental clarity and overall cognition. [1],[2],[5]
    2. CBD (Broad-Spectrum)
      • Interacts with several receptors in the body that regulate anxiety and stress-related behaviors, including the Cannabinoid Type I Receptor (CB1R), the Serotonin 5-HT1a Receptor and the Vanilloid Type I Receptor (TRPV1). [7],[13]
      • Has been shown to reduce the symptoms and severity associated with anxiety without promoting any psychotropic or euphoric affects associated with THC. [7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[15]
      • Promotes healthy sleep and relaxation. [9]
      • Boosts endogenous (made inside the body) levels of Endocannabinoids by inhibiting their breakdown. [10],[12],[13]
      • Inhibits the reuptake of GABA and several other chemicals that promote a feeling of wellbeing and relaxation. [13],[15]
      • Binds to several opioid and dopamine receptors throughout the body, helping mitigate both acute and chronic pain. [14],[16]
      • Helps reduce inflammation associated with pain. [14],[16]
3. GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)
      • Gamma-aminobutyric Acid is an inhibitory neurotransmitter made in the human body and is found in several edible plants naturally.
      • GABA binds to its receptors found primarily in the brain and enteric (gastrointestinal) nervous systems causing reduced neuroexcitation or reduced stress and anxiety. [17],[19]
      • Has been shown to improve onset and maintenance of sleep as well as overall sleep satisfaction. [17],[19]
4. Lemon Balm Extract :
      • Contains several active phytochemicals, including Hydroxycinnamic Acid.
      • Has been shown to significantly improve overall anxiety and depression scores in humans. [18],[20],[21]
      • Ameliorates anxiety-associated symptoms and improves insomnia. [18],[20],[21]
      • Enhances cognitive performance and improves overall mood. [21]
  • Proprietary Gummy Base:
      • Contains NO artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or fillers.
      • Organic, Non-GMO Cane Sugar.
      • All Natural (plant-based and sustainable) Pectin and Tapioca.
      • Pure, Triple-Filtered Water.
      • 100% Vegan.
      • Gluten-Free
      • Manufactured in a cGMP and FDA Registered Facility in the United States.
      • Physician Formulated.
