Magnesium Chelate-a mineral amino acid chelate in
which magnesium is bound to two amino acids,
creates a complex that is more readily absorbed
across the intestinal wall. Since the body can
efficiently absorb dipeptides (two amino acids linked
together), Albion’s TRAACS® m* Magnesium, the fourth most abundant mineral in the body, participates in about 300-350 enzymatic reactions in nearly all tissues. Deficiency is common and results from poor dietary intake, poor absorption, and excessive losses through urine, stool, perspiration, or lactation. Certain drugs,
certain herbs, poor kidney function, excessive
alcohol intake, and drinking mostly “soft” water can
contribute to magnesium depletion as well. *
Magnesium’s role in the clinical applications cited
above is quite well established. Beyond these
commonly recognized applications, researchers
have demonstrated that magnesium can support
cytokine balance and decrease sensitivity to
oxidative stress.[6] An analysis of the results of a
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) suggested that children who consumed
less than 75% of the recommended dietary
allowance (RDA) for magnesium were 58% more
likely to have elevated C-reactive protein (CRP)
levels.[7] Magnesium’s role in modulating CRP and
supporting the body’s normal response to
inflammation may be significant. In addition,
although underlying mechanisms remain unclear, it
appears that men who consume diets rich in
magnesium is able to maintain healthy gallbladder
function.[8] Adequate magnesium intake indeed
has strong, far-reaching health benefits. *
Stress Management-These herbs have a history of
traditional use in treating stress and occasional
feelings of anxiousness. In modern times, they, and
their actives (honokiol and berberine) are used to
support relaxation and reduce the perception of stress
and stress-related eating.
Sensoril® is an optimized ashwagandha (Withania
somnifera) root and leaf extract that represents a
major advancement in ashwagandha preparations.
Sensoril’s proprietary and patented extraction process
produces very high, powerful levels of stress-fighting,
cognition-enhancing ashwagandha bioactive
constituents. *
Suntheanine® is a pure form of L-theanine that is
produced via a patented fermentation process,
resulting in a 100% pure L-isomertheanine. Clinical
research suggests that 50 to 200 mg/d of Suntheanine
naturally stimulates activity in the brain known as
alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but
alert mental state.
Banaba Leaf (1% Corosolic Acid) and Maral Extracts
Banaba leaf (Lagerstroemia speciosa) has a long
history of use in folk medicine, particularly in
Southeast Asia, as a glucose modulator. More
recently, animal, and human research on banaba leaf
and its actives, including corosolic acid, suggest
multiple mechanisms that influence glucose and lipid
metabolism. *
Stress Management -helps your body resist and
recover from the effects of everyday stress.
Components of this multifunctional formula have
been shown to support healthy cortisol levels, help
alleviate occasional fatigue, promote mental clarity,
and support relaxation and restful sleep. *
Gaba Ease- GABA and L-theanine are two of our
best nutrients researched for their promotion of
calming effects. Passionflower, skullcap, and hops
have generations of traditional use in herbal
medicine for their calming and nerve tonic support.
This formula is an important combination of the
results of modern science in natural medicine and
the decades of experience in herbal medicine to
promote a calming effect during occasional stress,
nervous tension, and hormonal irritability. *
