•Vitamin B6
B6 is a coenzyme necessary for the production of many neurotransmitters. Some of these neurotransmitters help your body manage its mood. B6 is needed to manufacture GABA and dopamine, which calm the nervous system, and for serotonin, which elevates mood.
• Phenibut
Phenibut is a neurotransmitter derived from GABA, which is the body’s natural antianxiety medication. Phenibut has been used for decades to treat anxiety and other conditions. But at the levels used to treat anxiety, Phenibut does not cause drowsiness like other medications, such as valium. Phenibut, unlike GABA, is able to cross the blood/brain barrier of the thickened capillary walls in the brain. Phenibut interacts with the GABA receptors in the brain for a tranquilizing effect, thus relieving anxiety and insomnia
•Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid necessary to construct proteins. Taken as a supplement, it has a calming effect on the sympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that responds to stress. Taurine helps to increase GABA levels, which inhibits cortisol and adrenaline spikes. Cortisol is a necessary hormone, and when functioning normally, its levels rises in the morning to wake you up and lower at night to put you to sleep. It temporarily rises to especially high levels in stressful situations to trigger the fight or flight response. But if you’re surrounded constantly by stress, your body can get stuck in a pattern of overly high cortisol levels, which can lead to high blood sugar, high blood pressure and other conditions. And if your cortisol is chronically high, you may have problems reaching the lower levels of cortisol needed to fall asleep. Taurine helps relieve this condition.
