Key Features & Benefits:
B-Calm contains L-tryptophan and thiamine to help nutritionally support the management of stress and anxiety with a non-drowsy, non-sedative action.
L-Tryptophan is an amino acid that is the natural precursor for the synthesis of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is responsible for mood, appetite, sleep, memory, learning and social behaviours.
Thiamine helps convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy, and contributes to nervous system responses. Thiamine is additionally utilised by the liver, skin, and brain function.
