HERBAL PROFILE
 
Matcha Green Tea: A natural source of L-theanine - an amino acid that acts as an adaptogen helping you feel relaxed but energized, increases feel-good neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, GABA) and increases alpha brain-wave activity, the same brainwave state achieved during meditation.
 
Lion's Mane: An adaptogenic brain nourishing mushroom high in NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) that acts as an anti-depressent, improves cognitive function, repairs the myelin sheath, and provides an overall neuroprotective effect. 
 
Mucuna: Known as the "Dopamine Bean", Mucuna contains trace amounts of L-Dopa (a precursor to Dopamine), Serotonin, Tryptamine and other mood boosting neuro- chemicals, supporting positive mood & empathogenic qualities such as experiences of emotional communion, oneness, relatedness, and emotional openness.
 
Gotu Kola: Known as "The Herb of Enlightenment' This plant is well known for greatly improving memory and restoring brain cell and nerve function. Meditators in particular have sought the plant out for its ability to harmonize the right and left brain hemispheres, which produces a heightened state of awareness.
 
Bacopa: Bacopa is used to treat a broad range of mind-related health concerns, including memory loss, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and as a general tonic to fight stress and positively regulate dopamine and serotonin.
 
Eleuthero: Eleuthero has been shown to increase blood circulation to the brain and thus oxygenation while also working to balance serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and epinephrine making it a natural mood stabilizer..
 
Lemon Balm: Prescribed as a medicinal herb since ancient Greek times, lemon balm has long been known to relieve anxiety, promote sleep, and sooth agitation. A very recent study of herbs used in traditional Lebanese medicine as sedatives demonstrated that lemon balm extracts had the ability to bind to receptors that trigger relaxation and reduce anxiety in the brain.
