Your body reacts to stress by releasing hormones. These hormones make your brain more alert, cause your muscles to tense, and increase your pulse. In the short term, these reactions are good but when you have chronic stress, over time, this puts you at risk for health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression or anxiety, skin problems, such as acne or eczema, menstrual problems, hair loss, etc.
In today’s world every healthy adult whether a student or a working professional, managing a business, home or kids, should consider Unived’s De-Stress to save oneself from chronic stress and its harmful effects on it.
Mode of Action
KSM-66® Ashwagandha: KSM-66® is an adaptogenic herb from the roots of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) that has the most extensive set of research studies and clinical trials.
- KSM-66® Ashwagandha significantly decreased the levels of serum cortisol by 22.2% [3], [4].
- Ashwagandha mimics GABA and reduces the over-excitation of neurons, thereby producing calmness, reducing stress, and increasing focus, mental well-being, and self-control [3], [4].
- Can be helpful in limiting stress-associated weight gain in humans [3], [4].
L-Theanine: L-Theanine is a polyphenol extract from Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) plant. It is known for its therapeutic values.
- Has modulatory effects on the brain state [5].
- It has been shown to regulate the oscillatory brain activities in humans with an ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier during cognitive task execution and is believed to cause a relaxation effect [5].
- Theanine modulates several parameters of brain functions, including an increase in GABA, dopamine, and serotonin production [10].
- It may reduce heart rate and other physiological stress reactions in a stressful situation [11].
- Neuroprotective and cognition-enhancing agent [6].
- Increases serotonin production [7].
- Induces alpha-brain wave activity, a sign of induced relaxation [7].
5-Hydroxy Tryptophan (5-HTP): 5-HTP is the intermediate metabolite of the amino acid L-tryptophan in the serotonin pathway.
- Increases serotonin uptake [9].
