The Science

The Wellnicity Relax Pack works by combining professional grade nutrients that promote mental relaxation and mood balance. When the brain percieves a stressor it is common for muscles to slightly contract and tense up in preparation for a "fight or flight" response. Magnesium is a smooth muscle relaxer which can be very helpful during periods of stress. Stress can also trigger the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate. Magnesium helps to reduce excessive glutamate excretion supports the adrenal glands. MagComplete contains several forms of magnesium for optimal absorption and activity, while being gentle on the bowels.

Taurine has been implicated in a wide array of physiological functions including inhibitory neurotransmission. Taurine is a non-essential sulphur containing amino acid that is synthesized from methionine and cysteine metabolism. Taurine supports inhibitory (calming) neurotransmission by supporting the calming GABAergic and glycinergic systems. It is important for cardiovascular regulation, the development and activity of skeletal muscle, and it acts as a glycation inhibitor which may improve neuropathy and retinopathy conditions. There is also evidence that taurine in adult humans reduces blood pressure.

GABA is the primary inhibitory (calming) neurotransmitter in the body. There is a constant balancing action going on in the body orchestrated by chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. When the body is faced with a stressful situation (physical or emotional) this invokes the release of stimulating or excitatory neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and epinephrine. The nervous system quickly responses by releasing the calming neurotransmitters such as GABA to bring things back into balance. GABA Plus provides support for the nervous system to counteract the excitatory activity and bring things back into balance.
