Supports the body’s natural sleep cycle and is a powerful antioxidant
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, an endocrine gland buried deep in the brain that regulates sleep. It is responsible for regulating biological rhythms in humans. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. There is evidence that Melatonin acts to support the immune system. As we age, the natural production of Melatonin tapers off.

Valerian Extract
Valerian is one of the most studied herbs, particularly in Germany where it has been used for years to quiet and calm the central nervous system. Valerenic acid, one of the main constituents of valerian, is exculsive to this herb. Valerian is believed to enhance the release of the neurotransmitter GABA. This may explain its ability to help promote sleep and relaxation. Valerian extract provides safe, natural support to calm the central nervous system and encourage restful, refreshing sleep.

Neurocalm
A formulary blend of nutrients designed to support calming brain activity.
NeuroCalm™ promotes activity of GABA and serotonin; may help improve mood, reduce cravings, and support greater feelings of calm, satiety, and satisfaction.
Key ingredients include:
PharmaGABA™- a new form of GABA naturally manufactured via a fermentation process and considered more effective than other traditional, chemically produced synthetic forms
L-theanine- clinically proven to help reduce stress and improve the quality of sleep
German chamomile- anxiety-reducing, without impairing memory, diminishing motor skills or causing drowsiness. It is reported to promote calmness in a way similar to benzodiazepines, but without the overt side-effects of these medications.
5-HTP- precursor to serotonin, an important calming neurotransmitter known as "the feel-good hormone." In the central nervous system, serotonin has been implicated in the regulation of sleep, depression, anxiety, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.
Pyridoxyl-5-phospate (P5P) and vitamin B12– to help with conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin
Phosphatidyl serine (PS) and inositol- for supporting proper neuron membrane structure for maximum membrane fluidity, receptor function, and response to neurotransmitters, hormones, and cell-signaling compounds
Fully chelated magnesium-glycinate - involved in proper nerve transmission, muscular contraction/relaxation, and general relaxation responses
Who Should Take NeuroCalm™?
NeuroCalm™ should be considered for patients with increased levels of stress and anxiety, individuals who are easily agitated and frustrated, those with documented deficiencies in the neurotransmitters supported by NeuroCalm™, and anyone with chronic global pain conditions.

Magnesium Glycinate 100mg Tablets
Magnesium plays an essential role in a wide range of fundamental cellular reactions. More than 300 enzymes require magnesium as a cofactor. Complexed with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main carrier of metabolic energy in the body, magnesium is essential for all biosynthetic processes: glycolysis, formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), energy-dependent membrane transport, transmission of genetic code for protein synthesis, and muscle function. Magnesium is also involved in maintaining normal heart function and blood pressure.
