    GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a naturally occurring amino acid produced by the brain and also found in some foods. Its key role is inside our brains, where it acts as a natural relaxant, helping us maintain a state of calm. A state of calm focus is what our minds need whenever we push our cognitive limits.

    GABA acts as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that prevents neurons from over-firing. Its primary role is to maintain a balance to prevent glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter, from overwhelming you. When you experience stress, your adrenal glands releases hormones which are structured to produce a fight or flight response such as sweating, increased heart rate and tension. GABA specifically counteracts this stimulating effect and relaxes the brain.

    Low levels of this neurotransmitter result in difficulty relaxing, and prolonged low levels can lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia and certain mood disorders.

    GABA helps to reduce overactivity in the nervous system, promoting calm and relaxation as well as aiding in sleep quality. Furthermore, it has been shown to assist in reducing inflammation as well as stabilising blood pressure in individuals suffering from hypertension.

    • Promotes relaxation and calm
    • Supports better sleep quality
    • Can assist with reducing anxiety

     

    Suggested use: A serving equals a daily dose.

    • Take two to three capsules daily, with water
    • Discontinue use if any adverse effects are experienced

  • Genologix L-Citrulline - 120 VegCaps

    Genologix L-Citrulline – 120 VegCaps

    N$253.50

    Genologix L-Citrulline is an amino acid, essential in nitric oxide metabolism and regulation.

    Our bodies convert L-Citrulline into L-Arginine with a resultant increase in both L-Arginine as well as nitric oxide. When we increase the production of nitric oxide, vascular dilation is boosted; this facilitates improved oxygen and blood circulation, leading to enhanced physical performance. L-Citrulline helps the body rid itself of ammonia, a by-product of high intensity exercise. This detox effect enables the body to recover faster after a workout.

    Studies performed within the last decade have repeatedly shown that L-Citrulline improves endurance, maximum power and exercise recovery after as little as a single dose.

    • Boosted nitric oxide – greatly improved blood flow
    • Enhancing physical endurance
    • Improving maximum power
    • Decreasing muscle recovery time
    • Assisting with erectile dysfunction
    • Lowering high blood pressure

     

    Suggested use: A serving equals a daily dose.

    • Take four capsules daily, in the morning with food.
    • If using for exercise purposes, take 30 minutes before exercise. Split dose if desired.
    • This product is not known to produce negative side effects, however should you experience negative side effects then discontinue use.

  • Natra Heal NAC Capsules 60

    Natra Heal NAC Capsules 60

    N$187.55

    N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC supplement) comes from the amino acid L-cysteine. It is used by the body to build antioxidants – vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage.

    NAC supports the production of glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant. Research suggests that vulnerable receptors, known as ACE2 receptors – which are vulnerable to spike protein damage – are protected by the  presence of NAC. An NAC supplement effectively supports liver detoxification, promotes the  thinning of mucus in the lungs, making it easier to clear when coughing  which supports respiratory health, as well as supports clear, healthy  sinuses. Research suggests NAC also supports immune function.

     

    Potential benefits:

    • Reducing oxidative stress
    • Detoxing the liver and kidneys
    • Immune function
    • Brain function
    • Combating high cholesterol
    • Reduces addictions, depression and anxiety
