STRESS

HOW WE RESPOND TO STRESS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT.

Stress is a fact of life, but too much of it, the inability to handle it efficiently, or both, can lead to chronic fatigue, compromised mood, and inflammation. 

MTE uses an advanced blend of adaptogens and nootropics to help you recover from physical and mental stress more quickly, while also supporting a return to homeostasis within your body.*

Ashwagandha

This stalwart of Ayurvedic medicine effectively supports stress response by its moderating effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, a system in your body that regulates stress response.¹ Ashwagandha also appears to help control mediators of stress, including heat shock proteins (Hsp70), cortisol, and stress-activated c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK-1) ²

Affron

Regular use of this premium saffron extract promotes increased mood, reduced anxiety and managed stress without side effects, offering a natural alternative to standard treatments.³

L-Theanine 

Likely one of the reasons a cup of green tea helps you relax is that L-theanine does more than support stress response. This amino acid significantly increases activity in the alpha frequency band (alpha brainwaves), which are responsible for feelings of relaxation without drowsiness.

Holy Basil

Driven by the phytochemicals in Linalool, which is a terpene also found in the cannabis plant , Holy Basil has mood-boosting, stress reducing properties that act in concert with its adaptogenic abilities. Clinical studies have shown that holy basil has a positive effect on mood, sleep and stress levels by supporting cortisol levels and buffering your stress response.

GABA

A unique and mysterious amino acid that acts to promote a calm focus through regulating the traffic of our neurotransmitters. GABA is the body's main inhibitory nuerotransmitter, which means it prevents overexcited neurotransmitters from communicating with the central nervous system, literally blocking stress. GABA works by reducing the ‘noise’ of overthinking and allowing the brain (and the mind) to relax.

Eleuthero

When a person faces a stressful environment, ginseng can improve their response by regulating the function of the HPA axis. Eleuthero also has applications beyond everyday use in healthy people, providing a potential treatment agent for patients with HPA axis disorders associated with hypersecretion of cortisol
