LIFE EXTENSION Enhanced Stress Relief 30 Vegetarian Capsules

It is hard to find an antidote to today's overburdened world. The encouraging news is that lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), a perennial herb of the mint family native to the Mediterranean region, has been proven scientifically to help promote sleep and relaxation. What's more, lemon balm has a calming effect while improving memory and attention!


Cyracos lemon balm extract is prepared from a special lemon balm selected for its high concentration of hydroxycinnamic and rosemary acids. These active ingredients in lemon balm appear to improve mood by modulating specific nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in the cerebral cortex.


In addition to relieving everyday stress and promoting restful sleep, this plant extract can also offer smokers relief from the mental stress of quitting smoking, support a healthy mood, and help curb the emotional cravings associated with diet (or following a calorie restriction regimen).

The relaxing effect of L-theanine

• The Japanese have long known that L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, is a relaxant that helps inhibit stress.
• L-Theanine has a calming effect on the brain in a way that is comparable to meditation, massage and aromatherapy. L-theanine has a relaxing effect. In fact, research shows that L-Theanine increases the brain's ability to concentrate, learn and remember. L-Theanine is increased, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that not only induces relaxation but also ensures well-being. L-Theanine helps maintain healthy levels of dopamine, a critical brain hormone that is depleted by age-related stress factors.

Lots of health enhancing benefits

• Research shows that L-Theanine has numerous health-promoting effects, including promoting healthy cognitive function. In studies of neurons in cell culture, L-theanine has been shown to inhibit the neurotoxicity induced by glutamate or other neurotoxicants, which is a major consequence of normal brain aging.

Based on the massive amount of published data showing the many beneficial effects of Lemon Balm Extract and L-Theanine, Life Extension has combined these powerful nutrients into a formula called Enhanced Stress Relief.


Please note that the amount of L-Theanine in this product is double that of most standalone L-Theanine supplements. The reason for this increase in potency are reports of greater benefit when taking at least 200 mg of L-theanine.


Watch out for imitations: The L-Theanine used in Enhanced Stress Relief is Suntheanine, the only pure form of L-Theanine protected by 40 US and International patents. Independent laboratory analyzes have confirmed that some of the other products on the market claiming to contain "L-Theanine" are only half L-Theanine and the other half are another form of theanine known as "D-Theanine" that has not been scientifically evaluated in published research.
