Stress Support

Key Ingredients

We only use clinically researched ingredients backed by science. Every formula is crafted with pure, high-quality nutrients at effective doses designed for safety, potency, and real results you can trust.

Vitamin B6

8 mg

Vitamin B6, as pyridoxine and pyridoxal-5-phosphate, is essential for at least 100 enzymes that help the brain make key neurotransmitters. It helps the body utilize carbohydrates, fats and amino acids derived from proteins. Vitamin B6 aids the conversion of potentially damaging homocysteine into useful antioxidants. It also promotes relaxation and healthy mood. This formula provides the two chemical forms of B6 that are most fully absorbed and utilized.

Magnesium

33 mg

Magnesium is a vital mineral needed by every cell in the body, especially for the brain’s nerve cells to communicate effectively.* It supports the electrical signals that allow neurons to connect and process information.* Often called “the relaxation mineral,” magnesium helps regulate muscle tension, hydration, and energy production.* It also balances stress hormones like adrenaline and helps improve sleep quality.* By promoting calmness and mental focus, magnesium plays a key role in supporting emotional well-being, cognitive function, and overall physical health.*

Lemon Balm Extract

50 mg

Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt.

GABA

250 mg

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that functions as the brain’s primary calming neurotransmitter.* It works by slowing down excessive neural activity, helping to reduce feelings of anxiousness, tension, and overstimulation.* By activating the brain’s “off switch,” GABA supports a relaxed mental state, eases racing thoughts, and promotes emotional balance.* This calming effect can enhance focus, improve sleep quality, and support the body’s natural stress response for overall mental well-being.*

L-Theanine

33 mg

L-theanine is a calming amino acid naturally found in green tea and widely studied for its stress-reducing effects.* It promotes the production of alpha brain waves, which are linked to a relaxed but alert mental state.* L-theanine helps ease tension and supports a sense of calm without causing drowsiness.* It also contributes to healthy blood pressure regulation, especially during times of stress.* Ideal for promoting focus and emotional balance, l-theanine is a natural way to stay calm, clear-headed, and resilient throughout the day.*

Fast-Acting Support*

From Chaos To Calm*

GABA is like a brake pedal for your brain, slowing racing thoughts, easing tension, and helping your mind settle down.* This unique formula features GABA that’s been clinically shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and support calm, clear focus fast so you can go from overstimulated to grounded in minutes.*

Daniel G. Amen, MD, founder of BrainMD, in his office

“GABA is your brain’s natural calming chemical. This formula delivers it in a way that actually works—supporting fast, focused calm without making you feel foggy or sedated.”

“I use GABA Calming Support when my mind feels overstimulated or I just can’t seem to slow down. It helps me feel more relaxed, clear-headed, and emotionally balanced without making me sleepy. I also use it as part of my sleep protocol when I have ‘monkey mind’ it knocks the monkey out and helps me stay asleep.”

“I recommend GABA Calming Support to patients who feel overstimulated, anxious, or mentally stuck. It helps quiet the mind and regulate the nervous system without impairing your focus.”

“What sets this formula apart is that the GABA used is clinically shown to cross the blood-brain barrier. That’s a game-changer for supporting real, noticeable relaxation and mental calm.”

Science-Backed Relief*

Feel Calm, Fast*

GABA doesn’t just help you feel calmer, it changes how your brain operates.* Research shows it decreases beta waves (linked to anxious, overstimulated states) and increases alpha waves (associated with calm, focused alertness).* That means less tension, more mental clarity, and a brain and body that’s no longer stuck in overdrive.*

What To Expect

30–60 Minutes

Feel a wave of calm focus as GABA and L-theanine begin working to ease mental tension.*

Week 2

Notice steadier moods, fewer stress spikes, and an improved ability to relax at the end of the day.*

Week 4

Your nervous system feels more balanced, less overreactive, and better able to handle daily stressors.*

8–12 Weeks

Long-term use strengthens resilience. Clinical studies show consistent use can improve sleep quality, reduce anxious thoughts, and promote lasting calm and clarity.*
