Liposomal GABA & L-Theanine

- GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, responsible for calming the overactive central nervous system, and has been studied for its ability to improve mood, sleep parameters, and subjective and objective markers of the stress response.
- L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in green tea that can balance neurotransmitters in the brain and promote a calm but focused state.
- Patented Cyto-Sorb technology uses a two-phase emulsion process with phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E and organic coconut vegetable glycerin to create micellar liposomes and significantly improve bioavailability, stability and sustained release
- Each teaspoon provides 300 mg of micellar liposomal GABA and 100 mg of micellar liposomal L-theanine in a delicious natural orange flavor for improved compliance.
- 225 ml per bottle provides 45 servings
Stress, insomnia, and mood disorders often present clinically together and share common pathophysiological pathways. Although hormonal intake, genetic predispositions, and biochemical individualities may vary, an overactive nervous system is a common clinical concern and target for treatment. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-Theanine is designed to deliver two evidence-based nutrients in a unique, enhanced delivery system to optimally calm the nervous system.
Gamma-aminobutyric acid, more commonly known as GABA, is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the human brain and is responsible for calming the mind during excitatory conditions. Lower brain levels of GABA have been correlated with various mood disorders, sleep problems, and other neurological disorders. Studies indicate that GABA can improve relaxation and concentration during times of stress, reduce sleep latency, and increase the time spent in deep sleep. Additionally, if pre-supplemented with GABA, individuals exhibit stable levels of salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) and reduced levels of cortisol when exposed to stress. Collectively, these mechanisms all indicate a reduced and more balanced stress response.
L-theanine is another compound well known for calming the mind and improving focus, in part through activation of GABA receptors. As an amino acid found naturally in green tea, research has shown that L-theanine can positively impact serotonin, dopamine, and GABA in the brain. This ultimately leads to an increase in alpha brain waves and a calm, yet focused state. Clinical trials have confirmed that these actions lead to reduced stress, improved learning ability and improved mood. L-Theanine also has potential cardiovascular and detoxification benefits through protection against cholesterol and increasing glutathione levels. Collectively, L-Theanine balances the nervous system and provides powerful antioxidant support to protect the body from damage.
Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-Theanine has combined these two effective, evidence-based nutrients in a delivery system optimized for better clinical outcomes. Liposomal delivery systems were originally developed to optimize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs. These same principles have now been applied to natural health ingredients. A liposome consists of a single-layer or multilayer phospholipid structure with an aqueous core. The active ingredients can be placed inside the aqueous core or in the phospholipid bilayer, where they are protected from various enzymatic and digestive processes.
Ultimately, liposomes improve the bioavailability of active ingredients.
However, not all liposomal delivery systems are created equal. Liposomes are several hundred nanometers in size, meaning there is still a significant amount of digestion that must occur to reduce the surface area and allow for proper absorption. Micelles, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be absorbed directly at a size of around 20 nanometers.
Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + L-Theanine uses Cyto-Sorb, a unique and patented technology, to create a stable, multi-layered liposome with additional micellar delivery of nutrients. These methods provide micronutrient stability and improved bioavailability, while also promoting delivery of active ingredients to intestinal sites of absorption in a sustained-release manner.
Cyto-Sorb liposomal formulas are produced by a two-phase emulsion process using phosphatidylcholine from non-GMO sunflower, vitamin E and organic coconut vegetable glycerin. Potassium bicarbonate is strategically added to stabilize the active ingredient, prevent oxidation and improve flavor. Cyto-Matrix Liposomal GABA + LTheanine provides 300 mg of GABA and 100 mg of L-theanine per teaspoon in micellar liposomal delivery for improved bioavailability and clinical effectiveness. Each bottle provides 45 servings in a delicious natural orange flavor.
