Stress and Anxiety

 Background: Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is required for many important biochemical functions in the body. In humans, selenium functions as a coenzyme for the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Glutathione peroxidase helps neutralize harmful peroxide free radicals. Selenium also plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormones. Selenium is a coenzyme for the enzymes which are responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. These enzymes are important for the regulation of basal metabolic rate (resting metabolic rate-rate at which you burn calories). Studies show Selenium helps support the body’s antioxidant defenses and contributes to the growth of normal, healthy cells.* Features: Provides 200 mcg of Selenium. FDA has approved health claims for selenium that indicate it may be helpful in preventing certain cancers.   Benefits: Provides a well absorbed, highly bioavailable form of this important trace mineral. Studies show selenium works synergistically with vitamin E to provide antioxidant support helping protect healthy cells, particularly red blood cells from free radical damage.* The broad composition of seleno compounds increases the absorption and bioavailability. Selenium helps support the functioning of the powerful antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). GPX helps neutralize damaging peroxide radicals, which can potentially cause damage to healthy cells and their DNA.* Studies show a high intake of selenium helps support a healthy prostate by promoting normal, healthy prostate cell growth.* Adequate intake of selenium helps support normal, healthy thyroid function and a healthy metabolism.* Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer.* However, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and inconclusive.    Ingredients

  In today’s fast-paced world, it is paramount for the body and mind to be able to relax and “recharge”. Relaxation Support is formulated to encourage relaxation without causing drowsiness. The synergistic ingredients in this formula work in ways that help the body “let go” of tension and anxiety without causing drowsiness. The primary ingredients in this formula Suntheanine® and Relora® are backed by scientific research and have been shown to be safe and effective without causing drowsiness.†   Features Suntheanine® brand of L-Theanine; a “calming” amino acid found in green tea. Relora® is a trademarked, proprietary blend of two herbs (magnolia and phellodendron). Contains synergistic herbs chamomile, oat straw and melissa (lemon balm). Valerian, scullcap, hops and passionflower are provided in small doses for their synergistic effects.   Benefits Magnesium is an important mineral for supporting relaxation, including that of muscles which are often tense during times of physical and emotional stress.† Studies show Suntheanine® helps support normal alpha brain wave activity. Alpha brain waves promote a state of relaxation without causing drowsiness.† Suntheanine® helps to counteract feelings of anxiety by promoting a sense of “well-being”.† Relora® has been shown to support healthy levels of the stress hormone cortisol.† Healthy cortisol levels reflect a normal, healthy response to stress. Relora helps control stress related overeating, and associated body weight issues.† Relora® has also been shown to help support healthy sleep patterns.† Valerian has been shown to promote relaxation as well as a restful sleep.† Scullcap, hops and passionflower provide a significant synergistic effect by helping to promote relaxation.†   Relora also helps support emotional well-being and diminish stress-related sugary cravings to promote healthy eating habits.* L-Theanine is a relaxing and nondietary amino acid found pretty much exclusively in teas from Camellia sinensis (alongside green tea catechins and caffeine) and is known to promote relaxation without sedation. Researchers in Japan gave volunteers 200 mg of L-theanine daily and recorded their sleep patterns on devices worn around their wrists. The L-theanine didn't cause the subjects to sleep longer, but it did cause them to sleep better. It was documented that sleep quality, recovery from exhaustion, and refreshed feelings were all enhanced by L-theanine. Those taking L-theanine felt like they slept longer than they actually did.21 This is good news for people who don't get enough sleep, or those who want to sleep less and do more. Today, chamomile is used as a dietary supplement for sleeplessness, anxiety, and gastrointestinal conditions such as upset stomach, gas, and diarrhea. Some preliminary studies suggest that a chamomile dietary supplement might be helpful for generalized anxiety disorder. Chamomile, whether in tea, tincture or essential oil form, is one the best medicinal herbs for fighting stress and promoting relaxation, according to research from Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine and Pharmacognosy Review. Hops is a plant. The dried, flowering part of the plant is used to make medicine.Hops is used for anxiety, inability to sleep (insomnia) and other sleep disorders, restlessness, tension, excitability, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), nervousness, and irritability.

AlchePharma Poly-4X is a supplement that contains Oligonol, a low-molecular-weight polyphenol derived from a combination of lychee fruit (85%) and green tea (15%). Supported by 30 human clinical trials, Oligonol has numerous health benefits, including reducing visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and brown spots, improving endurance and energy levels, supporting healthy blood circulation, protecting against free radical damage, and helping the body manage inflammation. Poly-4X is rich in polyphenols, a beneficial plant compound known for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Through studies by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers, we have learned that the lychee fruit in Poly-4X has many health and beauty benefits. By stimulating blood flow, Poly-4X's Oligonol is believed to increase anti-aging properties and improve skin conditions. Tests have shown that the supplement can reduce facial breakouts, acne, and the appearance of wrinkles and freckles on female test subjects. Over time, women who consumed Poly-4X's Oligonol claimed to notice better skin elasticity, making them appear more vibrant, healthy, and youthful. Poly-4X's Oligonol has also been shown to have potential in reducing visceral fat, a hallmark of metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk of coronary heart disease. In a clinical trial, participants who took 100 mg/day of Poly-4X's Oligonol for 10 weeks saw a 12% reduction in visceral fat, while the placebo group showed no change. In addition, Poly-4X's Oligonol has shown potential in sports recovery by reducing fatigue after exercise, increasing endurance, and reducing levels of pro-inflammatory markers. By improving blood flow, more oxygen is delivered to the muscles, and more waste is removed, preventing fatigue. Oligonol supplementation may also help regulate body temperature and sweat loss, making it a natural way to boost performance in high heat and high-stress situations for athletes. Research has shown that taking Poly-4X's Oligonol could limit the sun's damaging UVB rays, preventing sun-induced skin aging and skin cancer. Oligonol suppresses inflammation and enhances the body's natural antioxidant defenses, protecting the skin from UVB damage. Lastly, in a study of six healthy male volunteers, Oligonol significantly decreased uric acid excretion and clearance while reducing the concentration of uric acid.

Background: Since ancient times it has been said that drinking green tea helps promote relaxation and an overall feeling of well-being.  A pioneer in the science of green tea, Taiyo found this relaxation effect to be due to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine. Suntheanine® is the trade name for Taiyo's patented, pure form of L-theanine.  Suntheanine® has been used in more clinical studies than any other L-theanine.  Studies show Suntheanine® to have significant affects on anxiety and other stress-related mechanisms in the body, as well as the ability to promote relaxation and sleep.*   Features:   Each serving provides 100 mg of Suntheanine®, the leading brand of L-theanine in the world. Most well studied and scientifically documented L-theanine in the industry. Suntheanine® has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, all of which demonstrate significant benefits. Manufactured by Taiyo International, world leaders in the research and manufacturing of L-theanine.   Benefits:   Suntheanine® helps reduce the acute psychological and physiological responses elicited by specific types of mental stress.* Suntheanine® helps support significant brain alpha-wave activity.  This increase supports a role for Suntheanine in achieving a relaxed, but alert mental state through a direct influence on the central nervous system.*  Suntheanine® has been shown to help support a healthy blood pressure, possibly by promoting brain alpha-wave activity (reflective of a relaxed state), as well as helping to counteract the stimulatory effects of caffeine. Suntheanine® has been shown to help provide support for PMS-related health issues.*  Ingredients SunTheanine® It has been estimated that nearly 65 percent of the adult population experiences some form of stress, and these numbers are continually rising. Since ancient times, it has been said that drinking green tea induces relaxation. A pioneer in the science of green tea, Taiyo found this relaxation effect to be due to the presence of the amino acid L-theanine, found almost exclusively in tea. Clinical research suggests that 50 mg – 200 mg Suntheanine stimulates activity in the brain known as alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state. Suntheanine is the trade name for Taiyo’s patented pure form of L-theanine. Suntheanine is not an extract of green tea but rather is produced via a patented process that mimics the natural process in green tea leaves, resulting in a 100% pure L-isomer-theanine. HOW DOES IT WORK? Human clinical trials have shown Suntheanine to promote an alert state of relaxation without drowsiness, as indicated by an increase in Alpha brain waves, and a decrease in Beta brain waves.* The brain emits weak electrical impulses that can be measured on the surface of the head, which are classified based on their frequency:
