Bio-Aligned Chart NightRest™ Nighttime Formula with Melatonin Neuro-Inhibitory Neurotransmitters The brain communicates through the use of neurotransmitters, which can create different states of mind, such as relaxation. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, which can prevent the brain from being overloaded by stimuli. Thus GABA is associated with mental states of calm and serenity, and promotes muscle relaxation. The amino acid taurine acts to control the excitability of neurons in the brain. Various herbs have been used traditionally to help with sleep and relaxation.
Hormonal Function Melatonin is a neurohormone produced by the pineal gland. Melatonin plays a crucial role in maintaining our circadian rhythms, the body's own inner time-keeping mechanism. This promotes rest and relaxation, and maintains healthy sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant.
Musculoskeletal System Muscular relaxation can have an immediate soothing effect, on the mind as well as the body. Magnesium promotes healthy nerve function and plays a key role in the relaxation of muscles. Taurine helps support the uptake of calcium, which is also involved in neuromuscular function.
Stress Response Traditionally, certain herbs have been used to balance the body's response to stressful situations and restlessness. They may support the normal function of the nervous system.
