Whenever you experience stress, the body releases adrenaline. This in turn causes the release of cortisol. Elevated cortisol levels over time can have a detrimental effect on your health. L-theanine is a unique amino acid found in the green tea plant that can help you keep your cortisol levels low. While it helps manage adrenaline caused by stress through dopamine. Dopamine is the second largest brain chemical, and plays a key role by preventing your brain from accessing adrenaline. Since the brain is unable to access adrenaline, cortisol release is restricted. So not only does theanine have the potential to help the body from elevating cortisol, but it rewards you by stimulating relaxing alpha waves in your brain. This allows your brain to focus, prioritize thoughts, improve concentration, and increase learning ability while you’re awake.

Curcumin, the bioactive compound found in turmeric, has been linked to having positive benefits related to multiple mood disorders.† This is due to it having a unique ability to support healthy serotonin and dopamine levels.† Serotonin and dopamine are both neurotransmitters associated with feelings of happiness and well-being. However, the issue with curcumin from other brands is that it has a very low absorption rate to the blood and therefore much of this amazing compound is lost in the digestive tract and eliminated without being used. We solve this issue of curcumin’s low absorption rate by using a proprietary micelle liposomal delivery system that protects the active ingredients in this formula from the hostile environment in the digestive tract, so it can be absorbed directly in the bloodstream. Furthermore, this formula contains ashwagandha, which is an adaptogenic herb that may help the body better adapt to stress by altering the body’s stress response.†
