Targeted Nutritional support™
TranquilentTM
Chewable Inhibitory Support*
A unique, chewable, cherry and raspberry-flavored formula providing support for the inhibitory neurotransmitter system—both serotonergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.* May be used when calm or relaxation is needed in the short term as well as for rebalancing the inhibitory system over the long term.*
Encapsulating The Art & Science of Functional NutritionTM
Formula Overview
Balance between inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter activity is vital to health and well-being. Inhibitory neurotransmitters such as serotonin and GABA maintain excitatory signals in the nervous system. That’s why supporting inhibitory neurotransmitters often results in a balanced calming and relaxing effect.
Tranquilent includes ingredients that support the optimal function of inhibitory neurotransmitter activity.* 5-HTP is a precursor that supports serotonin synthesis.* Myo-inositol works to support healthy serotonergic receptors.*1 Theanine, as Suntheanine®, intake has been shown to increase GABA activity and function.*
L-theanine as Suntheanine® (standardized to >99%): L-Theanine intake is shown to restore balanced relaxation by balancing multiple internal mechanisms, leading to increased healthy GABA activity while antagonizing glutamate receptors to support balance and decreased norepinephrine activity.*2,3
5-HTP: A naturally occurring amino acid and metabolite of L–tryptophan. 5-HTP is the direct precursor in the biosynthesis of serotonin.* Use of 5-HTP avoids the rate-limiting conversion of tryptophan to 5-HTP.
Myo-inositol (inositol) A precursor for the second messenger system (phosphatidyl-inositol) used by noradrenergic, cholinergic and serotonergic receptors.* Inositol regulates numerous healthy cellular functions including optimal membrane and receptor function*1
