Contains a blend of ingredients important for regulating glutamate activity, stress-reduction, metabolic health, and mitochondrial function* Key ingredientsN-acetyl-L-cysteine: Precursor to L-cysteine (1). L-cysteine is required for the synthesis of glutathione, an endogenous antioxidant important for mediating oxidative stress (2). L-theanine: Amino acid that acts as a glutamate receptor antagonist (3).* Glutamatergic signaling underlies mechanisms related to anxiousness and stress (4). In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine was shown to significantly reduce stress (5).*Alpha-lipoic acid: Antioxidant that is able to regenerate endogenous antioxidants and scavenge metal ions and free radicals (6).* Evidence suggests the insulin-signaling pathway is sensitive to redox status (6). Alpha-lipoic acid can influence the redox status in cells important for the translocation of glucose transporters and increasing glucose uptake (6).* Coenzyme Q10: Compound found in nearly every human cell that is essential for mitochondrial function and antioxidant protection (7).*
