Liposomal GABA & L-Theanine

GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, responsible for calming the overactive central nervous system, and has been studied for its ability to improve mood, sleep parameters, and subjective and objective markers of the stress response. L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid in green tea that may balance neurotransmitters in the brain and promote a calm yet focused state. Patented Cyto-Sorb technology uses a two-phase emulsion process with phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E, and organic coconut vegetable glycerin to create micellar liposomes and significantly improve bioavailability, stability, and sustained release. Each teaspoon provides 300 mg of micellar liposomal GABA and 100 mg of micellar liposomal L-Theanine in a delicious natural orange flavor for improved compliance. 225 ml per bottle provides 45 servings. Stress, insomnia, and Mood disorders often present clinically together and share common pathophysiological pathways. Although hormonal inputs, genetic predispositions, and biochemical individualities may vary, an overactive nervous system is a common clinical concern and treatment target. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-Theanine is designed to offer two evidence-based nutrients in a unique, enhanced delivery system to optimally calm the nervous system. Gamma-aminobutyric acid, more commonly known as GABA, is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the human brain and is responsible for calming the mind during excitatory conditions. Lower brain levels of GABA have been correlated with various mood disorders, sleep problems, and other neurological disorders. Studies indicate that GABA can improve relaxation and concentration during times of stress, reduce sleep latency, and increase the time spent in deep sleep. Additionally, if pre-supplemented with GABA, individuals experience stable salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels and reduced cortisol levels when exposed to stress. Collectively, these mechanisms all indicate a reduced and more balanced stress response. L-theanine is another compound well-known for calming the mind and improving focus, partly through the activation of GABA receptors. As an amino acid naturally occurring in green tea, research has shown that L-theanine can positively impact serotonin, dopamine, and GABA in the brain. This ultimately leads to increased alpha brain waves and a calm, yet focused, state. Clinical trials have confirmed that these actions lead to reduced stress, improved learning ability, and improved mood. L-theanine also has potential cardiovascular and detoxification benefits through cholesterol protection and increased glutathione levels. Together, L-theanine balances the nervous system and provides powerful antioxidant support to protect the body from damage. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-theanine combines these two effective, evidence-based nutrients into a delivery system optimized for better clinical outcomes. Liposomal delivery systems were originally developed to optimize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs. These same principles have now been applied to natural health ingredients. A liposome consists of a single- or multi-layer phospholipid structure with an aqueous core. Active ingredients can be placed within the aqueous core or within the phospholipid bilayer, where they are protected from various enzymatic and digestive processes. Ultimately, liposomes improve the bioavailability of active ingredients. However, not all liposomal delivery systems are created equal. Liposomes are several hundred nanometers in size, meaning there is still a significant amount of digestion that must occur to reduce the surface area and allow for proper absorption. Micelles, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be absorbed directly at a size of approximately 20 nanometers. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-Theanine utilizes Cyto-Sorb, a unique and patented technology, to create a stable multi-layered liposome with an additional micellar delivery of nutrients. These methods allow for micronutrient stability and improved bioavailability, while also promoting the delivery of active ingredients to intestinal sites of absorption in a sustained-release manner. Cyto-Sorb liposomal formulas are produced through a two-phase emulsion process using phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E, and vegetable glycerin from organic coconut. Potassium bicarbonate is strategically added to stabilize the active ingredient, prevent oxidation, and enhance flavor. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-Theanine provides 300 mg of GABA and 100 mg of L-Theanine per teaspoon in a micellar liposomal delivery system for enhanced bioavailability and clinical efficacy. Each bottle provides 45 servings in a delicious natural orange flavor.
