GABA (γ-amino butyric acid) is naturally occurring amino acid in our brain. It is one of the major inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and has been found in several peripheral tissues. It is critical for the normal healthy function of the central nervous system (CNS). GABA levels drop when a person is subjected to stressful conditions. Therefore, supplementation with a safe, clinically proven form of GABA, such as PharmaGABA®, may be beneficial in reestablishing ideal GABA levels. GABA exists naturally in various foods, especially in fermented food products. PharmaGABA® is a natural form of GABA produced with the help of Lactobacillus hilgardii – a beneficial lactic acid bacteria used in the making of the traditional Korean vegetable dish known as kimchi. Clinical studies suggest that PharmaGABA® plays a critical role in helping with daily stress and mood, supporting improved relaxation and calmness, and aiding concentration and mental alertness.† Features 200 mg of PharmaGABA® in each chewable tablet Great Natural Tropical Flavor Contains No sugar, salt, dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors Gluten Free, Non GMO and Vegan Benefits PharmaGABA® has exhibited its helpful effect for people to cope with the stress caused in daily activities or stressful situations. A recent human clinical study using PharmaGABA® has shown a statistically significant reduction of the perceived stress level by more than half.† PharmaGABA® may help fight even extreme stress. One particular study showed PharmaGABA® assisted those with a fear of heights to traverse the highest and longest suspension bridge in Japan. The study also showed that PharmaGABA® prevented stress-induced the immune system weakening.† PharmaGABA® appears to increase the production of alpha brain waves while reducing beta brain waves leading to improved feelings of calmness, but with greater mental clarity and focus.† In a recent GABA’s sleep aid clinical study, PharmaGABA® has shortened sleep latency, the time that takes a person to fall asleep and extended Non-Rem sleep time, the deepest stage of sleep. The increased Non-Rem sleep followed by an ideal sleeping rhythm through PharmaGABA® results in the natural deep-sleep healing process.† There’s another study that suggests PharmaGABA®, when combined with Exercise and Whey Protein, may actually enhance the growth of lean muscle mass.†   LABEL

B-vitamins are essential nutrients involved in most metabolic reactions. They play an important role in energy production, particularly from the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These essential nutrients are also important for the production of healthy cells, hormones, neurotransmitters, and other biomolecules. They are needed for healthy nerve, heart, brain, muscle, and other important cell or tissue function. The B-vitamins are water-soluble and therefore, not stored to any significant extent in the body. This is why we need to ensure adequate intakes of these nutrients on a daily basis. Due to the excess consumption of refined and processed foods, the average person does not consume optimal amounts of these nutrients. Our Certified Organic Whole Food B-Complex provides these key nutrients in a natural food form while also incorporating an organic food blend.   Features USDA Organic and Vegan Certified. 850mg Organic Food Complex Blend including quinoa sprouts, rice protein, yeast, blackstrap molasses, lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, bromelain, papain, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, tart cherry, pomegranate, and cranberry. Free of major food allergens. Contains NO: dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. Whole Food, Non-GMO, Simple, and Clean Excipients.   Benefits Thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin are essential for the production of energy from food. They also help support nerve and heart function and help the body produce antioxidants.† Vitamin B6 is needed to make neurotransmitters, chemicals that are essential for normal, healthy brain and nervous system function. B6 also helps support the metabolism of amino acids, including homocysteine, which when elevated may increase one’s risk for heart disease.† Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both needed to make healthy blood cells by supporting DNA and RNA metabolism, and both help support normal, healthy levels of homocysteine; a recognized cardiovascular “toxin”.† Pantothenic acid is needed to produce energy from fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Biotin is essential for the metabolism of fatty acids and glucose, and assists in cellular energy production.†   LABEL

Vitamin B12 is a member of the B-complex family of water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin B12 has numerous functions in the body including, stimulating red blood cell production, support of healthy nerve function, and the metabolism of homocysteine.† Low levels of vitamin B12 are often seen in vegetarians, as plant foods lack vitamin B12, and also in elderly people as their ability to absorb B12 from food is limited. The absorption of B12 requires a protein called intrinsic factor which is secreted by cells in the stomach. Elderly people secrete less intrinsic factors and therefore absorb less vitamin B12.    Features Contains 500mcg of B12 as cyanocobalamin. Certified Vegan   Benefits Vitamin B12 as cyanocobalamin is converted in the body to the active coenzyme forms methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin.† B12 converts homocysteine to methionine, supporting healthy blood homocysteine levels.† B12 helps donate a methyl group to form SAMe (s-adenosylmethionine) which helps support healthy brain function and liver detoxification.† B12 is essential for the production of normal, healthy myelin; the fatty layer of insulation that protects the nervous system and supports its function.† B12, along with Biotin, helps support fatty acid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism.† Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are required for healthy red blood cell production via normal DNA synthesis. Red blood cells are essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body.† Vitamin B-12 deficiency generally increases with age because of decreased levels of intrinsic factor a protein normally produced by the stomach and which aids in B12 absorption.† Ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and the elderly who are at greater risk for vitamin B-12 deficiency.†

Vitamin E is the term used for the family of eight compounds that possess vitamin E activity. The eight compounds are alpha, beta, gamma, delta-tocopherol, and tocotrienol. Vitamin E represents the body’s major fat-soluble antioxidant. This means that it works effectively in parts of the body where lipids (fats) are located, such as the cell membrane, where it helps protect the fats in the membrane from free radical damage.† Protecting the cell membrane is critical for maintaining the overall health of all body cells. Vitamin E also helps support healthy immune and cardiovascular function.† All vitamin E from AlchePharma is natural vitamin E. Synthetic vitamin E is not the same as natural and has significantly less biological activity. While d-alpha is the most well-known and most researched member of the vitamin E “family”, gamma-tocopherol possesses unique characteristics that complement the biological effects of alpha-tocopherol. This formula contains a high amount of alpha-tocopherol along with smaller amounts of beta, gamma, and delta-tocopherol for a synergistic effect.† Features Alpha-tocopherol is the most recognized form of vitamin E. Beta, gamma and delta tocopherols are naturally occurring in our foods as part of the vitamin E complex and are included here for their synergistic effects. Gamma-tocopherol has been and continues to be the focus of several research studies.   Benefits Alpha-tocopherol has the ability to work in the body as a lipid-soluble antioxidant, helping neutralize already formed free radicals.† Numerous research studies over the years have demonstrated the powerful antioxidant effects of alpha-tocopherol.† Gamma-tocopherol helps support nitric oxide (NO) production; NO supports cardiovascular health.† Alpha-tocopherol helps neutralize free radicals that have already formed and gamma-tocopherol inhibit the production of free radicals, these mechanisms demonstrate the synergy between these two forms of vitamin E.† It is difficult to obtain the number of tocopherols needed to achieve optimal health through diet alone, therefore supplementation is important, as demonstrated by numerous published research studies.†   LABEL

WARNING: USE ONLY AT BEDTIME Statistics show that nearly 40 million Americans suffer from some type of sleep disorder; the most common being insomnia. There are many causes of sleep disorders and many factors that contribute to their severity. The high incidence of stress and the impact of the stress of everyday life on sleep quality and quantity are well documented. Many individuals are looking for an all-natural, safe, and effective way to help them get the sleep they need. A major concern is that these individuals also want to avoid the feelings of sedation, drowsiness, and “morning-after” fatigue that often comes with taking many over-the-counter sleep aids. Our newly reformulated Sleep Support is a unique formula containing natural ingredients that help provide support for a good night’s sleep without unpleasant side effects.† Features Reformulated for greater efficacy. Features a higher, more effective dose of Suntheanine® brand of L-theanine. Provides melatonin, a hormone directly involved in normal, healthy sleep. Contains synergistic herbs Passionflower and Valerian from a world leader in European standardized herbs. Increased magnesium. Now includes vitamin B6 for synergistic support.   Benefits Double-blind placebo-controlled human studies show Suntheanine® helps support a healthy response to stress, helps reduce nervous tension and promotes relaxation.† By supporting normal, healthy levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, L-theanine helps support sleep efficiency and quality. In addition, one may experience the mental state of being “refreshed” upon awakening.† Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland of the brain helps regulate the “Wake/Sleep” cycle. Melatonin levels increase in the dark, preparing the body for sleep. Aging often leads to decreases in melatonin secretion which makes supplementation beneficial.† Passionflower helps provide support against stress and anxiety.† It also seems to play a role in supporting normal, healthy cortisol levels.† Studies show elevated cortisol levels interfere with normal, healthy sleep patterns.† Valerian has been studied for its role in helping to combat anxiety and minor sleep problems. Studies show valerian helps promote relaxation and contributes to an improvement in overall sleep quality without the noticeable sleep “hangover” that is common in individuals taking over-the-counter sleep aids.† Vitamin B6 is essential for the production and metabolism of neurotransmitters. The body requires vitamin B6 to synthesize serotonin from 5-HTP. The serotonin is then used to make melatonin, the hormone required for normal, healthy sleep patterns.† Magnesium is an essential mineral whose deficiency may contribute to anxiety, nervousness, and sleep disorders. This mineral helps relax the body and has a calming effect on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, both of which help prepare the body for a restful and relaxing sleep.†   LABEL
