CALCIUM (AS CALCIUM CITRATE) is essential for normal
transmission of electrical impulses along nerves. When blood calcium levels drop below
normal, nerves become hypersensitive and painful spasms of the muscles (tetany) can
result.1
During a four year study of 115 women, calcium
supplements lowered blood pressure in hypertensive patients more effectively than
prescription medication.2
MAGNESIUM
(CHELATE) is important for relaxation of
muscles, including those surrounding the blood vessels. And arteries that are even
slightly low in magnesium are more likely to have spastic contractions.3
Magnesium also has been successful in treating certain rhythm problems of the heart,4
including eclampsia (sudden convulsive seizure).5
Calcium and magnesium have long been known as the sleep
minerals.6
INOSITOL, one of the B vitamins, is a natural
tranquilizer that has proven reliable in helping patients to sleep by combating anxiety.7
VITAMIN B-6 (PYRIDOXINE
HCI) is necessary in the
formation of prostaglandins that regulate blood pressure, muscle contraction, and heart
function. Vitamin B-6 also aids in the formation and maintenance of the nervous system.8
A diet low in B-6 is associated with increased risk for developing insomnia, irritability,
and depression. Vitamin B-6 has been used successfully in treating depression common among
women on The Pill, half of whom responded to B-6 with a dramatic lifting of the
depression.9
VALERIAN ROOT FROM EXTRACT is a primary sedative and is
used when sleep disorders are the result of anxiety, nervousness, exhaustion, headache or
hysteria. In addition, it has been shown to be effective in treating tachycardia that just
precedes going to sleep.10 Valerian has further been shown to help regulate
psychosomatic disorders, and relieve tension and restlessness.11
PASSIFLORA INCARNATA FROM EXTRACT acts as a natural
tranquilizer and can calm hyperactive people. This herb is used in Italy to treat
hyperactive children.12 The pain-killing (analgesic) effect of Passiflora has
been demonstrated in laboratory and clinical tests.13
HOPS STROBILES FROM EXTRACT is most commonly used for
its calming and anti-spasmotic effect on the nervous system.14 Hops are also
fast acting. A soothing, relaxing calm will be experienced within 20-40 minutes after
ingesting the herb.15, 16
SCULLICAP
(SCUTELLARIA LATERIFOLIA) FROM EXTRACT has
been found to stabilize and normalize blood pressure which is why it is usually
recommended for pain associated with nervous conditions.17 Twitching, tremulous
pain may also be quieted by this herb.18 Skullcap ameliorates the nervous
tension that often interferes with learning, recall, logical thinking and memory formation
and, in this regard, resembles a muscle relaxant.19
GOTA KOLA
(CENTELLA ASIATICA) FROM EXTRACT is a neural
tonic which is an excellent treatment for nervous breakdown.20 Gota Kola
exhibits a sedative activity similar to meprobamate and chlorpromazine in that the mode of
action appears to be mainly on the cholinergic mechanism in the central nervous system.21
NOTE: Gota Kola contains no caffeine at all and should
not be confused with Kola nut which contains more caffeine per gram than coffee beans!
