Prevents the development of preeclampsia (36,37). Vitamin B6 Serves as a cofactor in more than 150 enzymatic reactions associated in blood sugar regulation, immunity, cardiovascular function, neuronal health, metabolic, and digestive health (38, 40). Reduces plasma glucose (blood sugar levels) via by inhibiting the activity of small-intestinal α-glucosidases (enzymes associated with glucose metabolism) (39). Functions as an antioxidant by counteracting the formation of reactive oxygen species (inflammatory markers) and advanced glycation end-products (38,40). May support blood sugar regulation in women with gestational diabetes (40). Cofactor for enzymes involved in DNA metabolism (40). Magnesium Supports optimal nerve function, muscle contractions, cardiovascular, bone health, and decreased anxiety (90,91).

Supports reduction systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and healthy HDL levels (90,91). Reduces peripheral cortisol levels in the CNS and supports relaxation and decreased anxiety (90,91). L-Tryptophan Decreases anxiety, supports positive mood, supports gut brain axis, and an improved sleep cycle (259,260). Decreases anxiety via increases in 5 HTP (259, 260). Improves circadian rhythm via increased natural melatonin production (259,260). Supports gut brain axis via natural increased production of serotonin in gut neurons (260). Goji Berry Supports immune health, vision health, immune health, and aids as a neuroprotective agent (261,262). Supports immune function via carotenoid and polyphenolic free radical scavenging capabilities, reduced DNA damage, and reduced inflammatory cytokines (261). Supports vision health via ocular neuroprotective effects zeaxanthin content (found in goji berry) (262). Increases neuronal protection with potent ameliorative effects on neuronal oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and neuronal cell death (262). Chamomile Supports healthy sleep, relaxation, reduced anxiety, and antioxidant support (251,252,253). Supports antioxidant function due to high levels of quercetin (flavonoid antioxidant) (251,252,253). Supports sleep via increases in parasympathetic (relaxation mode) activity, increased benzodiazepine-like hypnotic activity (sleep inducer), and attachment to GABA receptors (251,252,253). Lemon Balm Supports healthy sleep, relaxation, reduced anxiety, and antioxidant support (254,255). Supports antioxidant function via ability to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, increased glutathione production (master antioxidant) combat DNA damage (254,225). Supports relaxed sleep via enhanced REM cycles reduced stress at bedtime (254,225). Passion Flower Reduces stress, enhances sleep, and improved mood (248). Enhances positive mood and sleep via regulated gamma‐aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) activity (receptor which controls sleep) (248). L-Taurine Supports hydration, increased energy, antioxidant function, and increases fat metabolism during aerobic exercise (242,243). Supports antioxidant function via combating reactive oxygen species (243). Increases fat metabolism during exercise via enhanced mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (cells using fat as fuel) (242). Hops Combats depression, anxiety, reduces triglycerides and supports a positive mood (246,247). St. John’s Wort Combats depression and supports a positive mood (249,250). GABA Supports relaxation, positive mood, increased memory, reduced anxiety, blood sugar regulation, and increased growth hormone production (102). Skullcap Supports calming mood and relaxation. L-Theanine Unique non-protein amino acid found in green tea (Camellia sinensis) (53). Supports mood, mental clarity, and cognitive health, memory, and is a natural anti-depressant/neuroprotective agent (53). Aids as an antidepressant due to partial antagonism for the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor manifesting its cognitive optimizing effects (53). Reduces the neuropsychiatric side effects of chronic adolescent THC exposure (54). Ashwagandha Supports cardiovascular, hormonal, immune, healthy weight loss, mood, and optimized sleep (82,83). Reduces stress hormone cortisol resulting in improved body composition, sex hormone profile, and mood (82,83). Improves exercise performance via increased V02 max, muscular endurance, muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth), and decreased muscular fatigue (83). Improves quality of sleep by enhancing sleep recovery, reducing plasma cortisol concentrations, and enhancing REM sleep cycles (83). Supports hormonal and immune health via reduced production of inflammatory molecules (reactive oxygen species) and simultaneous increases in sex hormones (84). Inositol Supports liver detoxification, combats metabolic syndrome, and aids as an antioxidant (221). Combats metabolic syndrome via reduced levels of triglycerides, total- and LDL-cholesterol (221). Supports antioxidant function via reduced levels of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory markers (interleukin 6) (222). 5-HTP Supports healthy sleep patterns, mood, reduced anxiety, and supports the gut brain axis (261). Supports healthy sleep patterns via enhanced circadian rhythm and increased natural melatonin production (261). Supports gut brain axis via natural increased production of serotonin (neurotransmitter) in gut neurons (260, 261). Melatonin  Supports healthy sleep patterns, immune function, and antioxidant support (256,257, 258). Supports healthy circadian rhythms, and improves the onset, duration, and quality of sleep. Supports immune function via improved free radical scavenging capacity (258). Valerian Root Reduces stress, enhances sleep, and improves mood (244,245). Enhances positive mood and sleep via regulated gamma‐aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) activity (receptor which controls sleep) (244, 245).
