Ingredients explained
Magnesium (from magnesium glycinate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in neurotransmitter signaling and may help calm neuronal activity by supporting GABA function and muscle relaxation.
Caution: May cause loose stools in some; take with food and water if sensitive.
L-Theanine
L-Theanine may increase alpha brain wave activity and modulate neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine to promote a calm, relaxed state.
Caution: May cause drowsiness in some; avoid combining with other calming supplements before you know your response.
L-5-HTP (from Griffonia simplicifolia seed extract)
L-5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, which is involved in regulating mood and the sleep-wake cycle.
Caution: Do not use with prescription antidepressants or other serotonin-supporting products due to risk of excessive serotonin.
How they work together
Magnesium supports relaxation of muscles and nervous system tone, while L-theanine promotes a calm mental state through GABA- and dopamine-related effects. L-5-HTP supplies a building block for serotonin, which is involved in sleep regulation, complementing the calming actions of magnesium and L-theanine.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Do not use if you are taking a prescription antidepressant or if you are pregnant or nursing. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have a medical condition or take any prescription medications.
Who should be cautious: People using SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, or other antidepressants due to 5-HTP and serotonin concerns. Those with mood disorders, seizure history, or who are sensitive to magnesium’s laxative effects may need caution. If combining with medications that may interact with 5-HTP or magnesium, consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
