Why Relaxity Can Work for You

Relaxity products enable you to stay calm and focused, naturally. When life gets hectic, GABA keeps you relaxed and focused. It’s your body’s natural calming system — your inner yoga class. Relaxity blends whole food-derived GABA with herbs and other all-natural ingredients to boost your natural stress-relief response, lighten your mood and enhance mental clarity. Relaxity products contain no added caffeine or artificial additives, so you feel naturally relaxed, calm and clear-headed. It helps you function at your best.

Relaxity works because it contains a proprietary blend of calming, clinically-proven herbs and root extracts. The lead active is whole food-based Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) which has peer reviewed clinical studies that prove its effectiveness. GABA works by increasing the alpha brain waves and decreasing the beta brain waves which produces a more relaxed state without drowsiness. Additionally, our calming blend contains L-Theanine, Rhodiola and Ashwagandha which have a long history of reducing stress, improving cognitive performance, and enhancing focus.

WE WERE NOT MEANT TO LIVE SUCH STRESSFUL LIVES

Our bodies do not produce enough GABA to overcome the increased “noise” that we have to endure in our busy lives. Supplementing with Relaxity introduces more GABA into our body to make up for this difference. In addition, Relaxity contains adaptogenic herbs that are generally accepted as mood enhancers to the brain and body.

What is GABA?

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (usually abbreviated to GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the nervous systems of many mammals. GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and also in the retina.

OK — here’s where we get technical. GABA acts as inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neurons. This binding causes the opening of ion channels to allow either the flow of negatively-charged chloride ions into the cell or positively-charged potassium ions out of the cell. This will typically result in a negative change in the transmembrane potential, usually causing hyperpolarization. Three general classes of GABA receptor are known. These include GABAA and GABAC ionotropic receptors, which are ion channels themselves, and GABAB metabotropic receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors that open ion channels via intermediaries (G proteins).

Why is Relaxity’s GABA different?

GABA has been around for a long time — mostly in synthetic form in the United States. The GABA we used in Relaxity contains the only whole food based, natural GABA currently on the market in the United States. Our form of GABA has been produced through the natural fermentation of a food substrate and has been clinically proven to be effective. Other forms of GABA on the market have been chemically synthesized and have not been proven to be clinically effective.

The word adaptogen is used by herbalists to refer to a natural herb product that increases the body’s resistance to stresses such as trauma, anxiety and bodily fatigue. Knowledge about adaptogens dates back thousands of years to ancient India and China. The adaptogens Rhodiola rosea and Ashwaghanda have been shown to support physical and mental endurance, healthy metabolic function, a healthy digestive tract and immune system, and quality of sleep. Preliminary research also suggests that adaptogens such as those contained in Relaxity, support a healthy response to stress.*
