Description
Features:
- Total of 360 capsules
- The indigenous Khoisan people of South Africa have used Sceletium for centuries. It helped alleviate hunger, reduce stress, and promote relaxation during long hunting trips or rituals.
- By enhancing neurotransmitter activity, Sceletium may help lift mood, making it a popular choice for those seeking natural alternatives to conventional mood enhancers.
- This plant contains alkaloids such as mesembrine, which inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, leading to improved mood and emotional well-being. These compounds work synergistically to elevate mood, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense of calm.
- Ingredients:
Organic Sceletium Extract 100mg, Ashwagandha Extract, Veggie Capsules. - Sceletium: Sceletium tortuosum or Kanna has a long history of use in South Africa. It is in its 4th century of recorded use there. With written records dating back
to 1662, Sceletium was a bartering currency. Traditionally, the prepared dried plant material (called Kanna or Kougoed) was chewed and the saliva swallowed,
but it has also been made into teas and tinctures. Less commonly, it has been reported that it used to be inhaled as a snuff, or smoked, usually with the addition
of other herbs.
The brain is made up of countless neurons, which transmit signals to each other only by those signals jumping the gap (synapse) to neighbouring neurons. The
signal cannot, however, jump the synapse without assistance. - In individuals suffering from depression, the neurotransmitter serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) is lacking. Mesembrine triggers the neurons to release more serotonin, whilst at the same time also slowing down the reuptake process. This obviously makes it more probable there will be more serotonin in the relevant receptors, greatly increasing the possibility that there will be sufficient levels to set up the signal transfer of this neurotransmitter and all the
associated benefits that that brings. Mesembrine allows the brain to function better, even with reduced levels of serotonin, which allows time for natural levels to build up, whereupon the mesembrine dosage can be reduced or eliminated. - Ashwagandha: Since ancient times, Ashwagandha has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as a substance that strengthens the nervous system.
Ashwagandha is perhaps best known for its stress-relieving properties. It is purported to assist with insomnia, sleep quality and reduction in blood glucose levels. Ayurvedic use includes assisting women experiencing sexual dysfunction, PMS and menopause symptoms as well as male reproductive health benefits. - Veggie Capsules: Made from pine-derived cellulose, they are preservative-free, GMO ingredient-free, gluten-free, biodegradable, halal and kosher.
