Relax Matrix - Powder

• Synergistic blend of evidence-based nutrients to calm the nervous system and protect from overstimulation, promote neurotransmitter synthesis, and support blood sugar regulation
• Inositol helps with cellular communication and improves the sensitivity of neurotransmitters and hormone receptors
• L-Theanine promotes a calm yet alert state through the induction of alpha brain waves in the brain
• Magnesium is provided in the well-absorbed bisglycinate form to promote cellular energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and relaxation of nerve and muscle tissue.
• Taurine regulates intra- and extracellular electrolyte levels and membrane stability of neurons
• Trace amounts of B vitamins are added for gentle support of neurotransmitters and cofactors in the nervous system
• Powder administration allows for easy dosage adjustments and improved patient compliance

Glutamate excitotoxicity has been implicated as a key physiological pathway in many neurological conditions. Overstimulation of the nervous system can occur as a result of damaging circumstances such as post-traumatic brain injury or hearing damage. It can also be present in common problems such as mental health imbalances and behavioral disorders. Fortunately, a variety of evidence-based nutrients are available to calm the nervous system, combat this excitatory action, and ultimately protect against further damage.

Inositol is a vitamin B-like nutrient that has been shown to play an important role in molecular signaling in the nervous system. It is particularly necessary for optimal functioning of neurotransmitter receptors. By improving receptor sensitivity, inositol may help balance the nervous system and various hormones in the body, such as insulin and thyroid hormones. Several human clinical trials have supported these actions and shown that myo-inositol is beneficial for regulating mood.

L-theanine is a unique amino acid naturally found in green tea that is well known for calming the mind and improving focus. Research has shown that L-theanine can positively affect various neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and glutamate. Together, this leads to increased alpha brain waves and a calm, yet focused, state.

Magnesium is arguably one of the most important minerals when it comes to mental health and cognition. It is needed to maintain proper nerve function, create cellular energy in mitochondria, activate GABA receptors, and block the action of glutamate on NMDA receptors. Collectively, suboptimal magnesium levels create a pro-inflammatory and excitatory state in the brain. Clinical trials and large-scale evidence have shown that magnesium can be helpful for fatigue, mood disorders, insomnia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cognitive decline, and stress.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter often used to relax the mind in cases of stress and insomnia. Research has shown that GABA can have a positive impact on cortisol levels and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep, making this amino acid particularly useful for people who have difficulty falling asleep because they can't calm their racing mind.

Taurine is an amino acid unlike most others in that it is not involved in the synthesis of proteins or structural components in the human body. Instead, taurine is found in its free form and in particularly high concentrations in the brain. It is responsible for regulating several physiological functions, such as intra- and extracellular electrolyte balance, membrane stabilization, and lipid digestion.

Relax Matrix provides a therapeutic blend of these evidence-based nutrients to support a healthy nervous system, neurotransmitter synthesis, blood sugar regulation, and mood. Relax Matrix also includes small trace amounts of B vitamins to support neurotransmitter synthesis without the risk of overstimulation in individuals with methylation defects. Relax Matrix is ​​delivered in powder form to allow for optimal compliance and easily adjusted dosage regimens to support mood, cognition, sleep, and stress.
