CalmEssence™ provides 150 mg per day of pure L-Theanine (Suntheanine®), an amino acid from green tea that studies have shown promotes a sense of calm, even under extreme pressure. It also provides Honokiol, a phytochemical from Magnolia bark that helps us remain calm. These nutrients may help reduce the frequency of the stress response being triggered in the body. They may also reduce the intensity of stress responses when they do occur. Any reduction in the amount and/or intensity of stress response is a step toward better health.

These botanicals rebuild adrenal energy, counteract the physiological effects of stress and renew adrenal integrity.
Suntheanine® (L-Theanine)
An amino acid naturally found in green tea. Promotes relaxation and calmness. Promotes alpha brainwaves (those that are most prevalent in states of meditation, prayer and other states of calm).
Ashwagandha (4% withanolides)
A traditional Ayurvedic herb also known as “Indian Ginseng” and used as an adaptogen, which helps the body adapt to stressful situations. Anything that helps the body adapt to stress benefits the adrenals.
Cordyceps (10% cordycepic acid)
An absolute superstar of the Superior Herbal System. An extremely effective and potent life-enhancing agent. Provides amazing support for lung and kidney systems. By supporting the greater kidney system, it supports the adrenals, which are a major part of that system. Strengthens both everyday, functional energy and the deep reserve known as “Essence” that we use to pull through times of severe illness or injury.
Magnolia bark (2% honokiol)
Magnolia bark is rich in honokiol, which is thought to help control the production of cortisol-lowering effects of the plant. The honokiol is also believed to promote a sense of calm.
Eleuthero root (0.8% eleutherosides)
Also known as Siberian ginseng. Supports all five major organ systems in TCM. Of extreme benefit to adrenals, it increases the body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently and is a powerful adaptogen. Improving both physical and mental performance when under extreme stress, eleuthero is one of the world’s most powerful health-building supplements.
Schizandra fruit (2% schizandrins)
Supports all 12 of the body’s major energy meridians. Helps harmonize entire body, thus reducing the impact of stressful events. Sharpens mental focus, helps protect against cell damaging agents like free radicals and other toxins. Supports healthy eye function.
Rhodiola (5% rosavins)
An adaptogen that instantly helps adrenals overcome constant stress response syndrome, and over time, increases the ability to remain calm in the face of stressful events.
In cases where adrenal exhaustion, or its symptoms (please see full CalmEssence™ and AdrenalEssence™ brochures) are considered severe, CalmEssence™ and AdrenalEssence™ can be used together until one begins to once again feel optimal health. Then, one can maintain using one of the products, depending on which formula helps person feel most like their optimal self.
Explanation of stress response system:
Stress is a major factor in modern life. Transporting kids to different places at the same time, financial concerns, domestic duties, disagreements, pressures at work, health problems, and other threats to our well being are nearly constant issues. While the body is equipped to deal with these issues on an occasional basis, it was not designed for continuous stress.
When one feels threatened or is under pressure, the adrenal glands secrete hormones that improve reaction time to deal with the situation more directly ('fight or flight mechanism'), thus increasing one's chance for survival or opportunity for success. However, as one enters this 'survival mode', normal metabolic processes like immunity, digestion, bone-building and reproduction are put on hold. Thus, the more pressure one is under, the less energy the body assigns to life's daily needs.
