The addition of chelated minerals involved in muscle contraction and relaxation responses provides further comprehensive support for muscle relaxation.

What are the key ingredients?

Valerian Root

Research on valerian reports that it has anti-anxiety and sedative effects which help you fall asleep faster and even get a higher-quality of sleep (1, 2).

Research also suggests that valerian can induce a state of relaxation through a series of actions that result in higher GABA production in the brain. Specifically, a compound within valerian called valerenic acid is thought to be responsible for this effect (3).  Optimal GABA levels are crucial to improve sleep quality.

Finally, valerian is effective in combination with herbs such as lemon-balm, passion flower, and skullcap for improving sleep quality.

Passion Flower

Similar to valerian, passion flowers may contribute to a better night of sleep by upregulating GABA levels in the brain. Different studies have also shown that using passionflower has beneficial effects on anxiety, blood pressure, insulin levels, and inflammation (4).

Other studies have shown that passionflower helps reduce muscle tension and improve sleep quality and memory formation (5, 6). 

Lemon Balm

Lemon balm is a traditional European remedy that has been used for hundreds of years to calm the nerves and improve mood. Also known as Melissa, it is commonly used for aromatherapy purposes and to improve sleep quality.

The documented benefits of lemon balm are actually pretty broad and include anti-depressant, PMS relief, anti-microbial, and of course sedative.

Lemon balm is thought to promote relaxation by increasing levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the brain. It is thought to achieve this action by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down GABA, allowing it to remain active in the brain for longer (7).

Skullcap:

This herb, which is in the mint family, gets its name from the cap-like appearance of the outer whorl of the plant’s small blue or purple flowers.  Interestingly, it has been shown to improve blood flow into the brain and has antioxidant benefits that reduce inflammation in the brain and protect against neurodegenerative disorders.

Skullcap has been shown in research studies to have sedative benefits that help induce deep sleep and anti-spasmatic benefits to reduce muscle tension and pain (8). In addition, it has been shown to help reduce anxiety and depression and uplift mood (9).

Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body and is used in over 300 different physiological processes. Unfortunately, magnesium is also one of the most pervasive deficiencies in our society today.

This supplement contains 150 mg of magnesium malate chelate.  The malate amino acid helps to support mitochondrial energy production, while the magnesium works to relax muscles, reduce anxiety, and improve restful sleep.

Warning:  Please consult your healthcare professional before using if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering use for a child.

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.

What is GABA?

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a naturally occurring amino acid in the brain. It is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that acts as a calming agent for the body by balancing the stimulating effects of glutamate.

GABA Calm provides a fast and effective absorption and assimilation of GABA for the body.

What are the primary ingredients? 

200 mgGamma-Aminobutyric acid: (PharmaGABA) Bioidentical GABA naturally sourced from the fermentation of glutamic acid and lactobacillus hilgardii.

GABA Calm is made from non-GMO ingredients and does not contain gluten, dairy, or soy.

Why is GABA CALM beneficial to your health?

The quick release of GABA helps to create an optimal balance between the “excitatory” neurotransmitter glutamine and the calming effects of GABA. While GABA is naturally synthesized from glutamate, some people may benefit from supplemental amounts to oppose “fight or flight” feelings.

GABA can support:

• Stress Resilience
• Mental Health
• Cognitive Health
• Mood Balance
• The ability to Fall asleep

GABA may help athletes improve sports performance, reduce feelings of agitation in individuals with longstanding and addictive behaviors, and improve learning capacity.

What is the recommended dosage?

Normal Dosage: Take 1-2 chewables at a time when you feel more anxious or irritable or before bed to help improve sleep.

Advanced Dosage: Take 1-2 chewables multiple times daily when you feel more anxious or irritable or before bed to help improve sleep or as directed by your healthcare provider

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur. 

Not recommended for use in pregnant women and children under 6 years of age. GABA Calm may conflict with taking anxiety medications. Do not take GABA Calm with excess alcohol consumption as it may exacerbate the relaxation effect of alcohol drastically

FAQs:

Does this product contain any shellfish?

No, this product does not contain any shellfish.

Magnesium is an essential cofactor required by 300 enzyme systems that promote thousands of biochemical reactions in the body.

It maintains a normal temperature, produces and transports energy, transmits nerve signals, and relaxes muscles. Magnesium is vital for glucose, fat, and protein metabolism, and affects every cell in the body in a positive life-supporting way. Magnesium also supports healthy bones by regulating calcium absorption and metabolizing the active form of Vitamin D from its storage form.

ReMag® minerals are meticulously prepared from a pure source of magnesium chloride and developed to efficiently deliver stabilized magnesium ions that are similar in size to plant magnesium. ReMag® is a picometer-ionic form of magnesium. Picometer magnesium is smaller in diameter than the body's mineral ion channels. Its direct and complete absorption into cells before it reaches the large intestine means ReMag® does not have a laxative effect.

How Is ReMag® Sourced?

ReMag is made from liquid magnesium chloride through a proprietary process that is registered to Dr. Carolyn Dean. This 18-step process transforms a traditional magnesium chloride, already recognized for its absorption, into stabilized ions of magnesium, ionized and picometer in size. This source compares favorably to high-quality versions of magnesium citrate that could be considered 98% pure, or magnesium chloride from salt lakes that are 96% pure. The key is that ReMag® is 99.98-“99.99% pure, no matter the source.

Why Choose ReMag?

Magnesium is a very popular supplement, but most forms are not well absorbed, causing the laxative effect, which flushes out whatever magnesium you just took. Sure, it might be easier to take pills or capsules, and it can be fun to take those flavorful gummies, but what's the point if the magnesium is not absorbed?

ReMag® liquid magnesium is better absorbed in your gut than some of the less soluble forms. Some ingredients in magnesium supplements are hygroscopic, meaning they attract water. If pills contain these ingredients, the supplement can become wet simply from the moisture in the air, and that's why some magnesium pills have several additives to try to keep the content dry. To avoid unnecessary ingredients and to achieve the best absorption, choose a liquid magnesium supplement.

Using a liquid supplement gives you more control over the dosage amount. Supplements in pill form come in pre-measured doses, which restricts how flexible you can be with intake. But you can easily alter the amount if you are taking a liquid form of the supplement. If you need less or more in one day, you will be able to make quick adjustments.

What Is The Recommended Dosage?

After you buy ReMag®, follow these instructions for the best results.

Dosage: Adult Dose: Do not take undiluted. ReMag® magnesium is a powerful mineral concentrate and should not be placed directly into your mouth. Place a 1/2 tsp. [2.5 ml] in 4 ounces of water and consume in one sitting or put into 1 liter of water and sip throughout the day. For optimum results, take at least two or more servings a day as needed or as directed by your healthcare provider. May be taken with or without food.

Note: If you seem to be highly magnesium-deficient or have been eating an unhealthy diet, begin slowly to allow your body to adjust. Some people may want to take even less than 1/4 tsp in a liter of water to begin their treatment. You can put a few ounces of ReMag® magnesium in a dropper bottle and start with 2 to 4 drops in a liter of water.

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.

How Do I Know My Magnesium Levels?

There are several ways to have your magnesium levels tested. You can request a test from your family doctor, and in some states, you can even do it yourself by ordering a blood test online and going to your local lab.

Many people have benefited from having the results of more comprehensive testing to determine their magnesium, Vitamin D, EFA's, and mineralization of other glands like your thyroid. Through our partnership with GrassrootsHealth.org, you can participate in your own health tracking and contribute to a public research model to determine how your nutrient status improves with supplementation.

What Are The Side Effects Of Too Much Magnesium?

Like with any dietary supplement, one of the most important questions about magnesium is what happens when too much is taken. While the element is generally well-tolerated by most healthy adults, there are some possible magnesium supplement side effects that are often related to its laxative effects. Fortunately, ReMag® Magnesium Solution was formulated and has been proven to bypass the laxative effect.

According to Dr. Carolyn Dean - there are several contraindications to magnesium supplementation:

• Kidney failure. With kidney failure, there is an inability to clear magnesium from the kidneys
• Myasthenia gravis. The intravenous administration could accentuate muscle relaxation and collapse the respiratory muscles
• Excessively slow heart rate. Slow heart rates can be made even slower, as magnesium relaxes the heart. Slow heart rates often require an artificial pacemaker
• Bowel obstruction. The main route of elimination of oral magnesium is through the bowel.

While most of these conditions are unlikely, it's always wise to speak with a healthcare practitioner before taking any supplements, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or taking other medications.
