Eleuthero Root (Eleutherococcus senticosus) Extract
Research has shown that eleuthero root, also known as 'Siberian ginseng,' has antioxidant, adaptogenic, sedative, as well as many other effects. Other research suggests that it may help to support feelings of well-being, reduce occasional fatigue, and improve memory and cognitive performance.

Panax ginseng Extract
Panax ginseng is found in North America and eastern Asia typically in cooler climates.  It is believed to support and maintain overall health.

Ashwagandha Extract (Sensoril™)
Ashwagandha is cultivated in many regions of India and is a short, tender perennial shrub. Also known as Withania somnifera, it has a history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. Ashwagandha has antioxidant and sedative properties. It has been proven to act as an adaptogen by helping to inhibit occasional fatigue, boost energy, promote emotional well-being and counteract the negative effects of stress.

Passionflower Extract
Passion flower has sedative and relaxation effects. Some studies have pointed to the flavonoids in passion flower such as apigenin, vitexin and isovitexin as the primary constituents responsible for its effects. Research suggests apigenin can bind to central benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, possibly causing relaxation and helping regulate mood without impairing memory or motor skills.

Rhodiola rosea Extract
Rhodiola, or roseroot, acts as an antioxidant and adaptogen, promotes relaxation and mental clarity, and helps to improve mood. Research suggests that salidroside, one of over 30 compounds found in rhodiola, is responsible for its stimulating and adaptogenic effects. Within the brain, rhodiola appears to influence the level, activity and transport of monoamine neurotransmitters. Rhodiola may help to promote healthy neurotransmitter levels.

Schisandra chinensis Fruit Extract
Schizandra is a woody vine native to forests of Northern China and the Russian Far East. It is used to maintain overall health.
