Today, it’s easier than ever to feel anxious and stressed which can cause depression and feelings of sadness. It can also cause us to experience burnout, which can make us feel unsatisfied in our careers and in our lives. (1)

Thankfully, there's two natural compounds which can have a significant impact on our brains, to help eliminate the symptoms of fear and uncertainness, that comes with elevated levels of stress.

In this short post, we share how these two substances work to naturally lower anxiety and support a calm, focused mood. †

GABA Increases Alpha Waves 

GABA increases alpha waves which are responsible for helping you focus and concentrate. Tests have shown that you can feel this effect within one hour, and it will help you focus on essential tasks, which can allow you to act more efficiently and can even improve mental performance. (2,3)

Raising your GABA levels using a supplement can also have a long-term impact on your mental health. It might even reduce your chances of developing conditions like dementia as you age to live a healthier, more fulfilled life. †

Using Inositol to Regulate Mood

Inositol (commonly referred to as vitamin B8), is a chemical that plays several crucial roles in your body, including helping you regulate your emotions.

Scientists examined the frontal lobes of suicide victims and found that they had significantly less inositol compared to a healthy group. Inositol has also been effective in treating a range of other conditions, like helping people who suffer from panic attacks and helping to stabilize emotions. (6,7) 

Conclusion

As we discussed, GABA and inositol have both been shown to reduce stress levels, improve concentration levels, and helps regulate mood more effectively. That’s why we added both to our Mellow Mood formula. Mellow Mood contains a synergistic blend of ingredients, which can provide a range of benefits like; supporting healthy hormones, improving your concentration, enhancing mental clarity and promoting deeper sleep. †
