Total Calm - 30 Vegetarian Capsules Solaray

Being Frazzled Carries Some Risks
Being stressed and anxious can really suck most of the joy out of life. Those who become overly stressed may become unable to enjoy even the simple things of life. Irritation, nervousness, withdrawal, and fatigues are all symptoms of a lack of calmness in life. When people become stressed and agitated, the body will produce cortisol. This hormone is designed to help deal with what is perceived as a threat, and under more natural circumstances, the threat would be resolved (one way or another) and cortisol levels would return to normal. Unfortunately, today’s stressful situations occur almost constantly, which puts the body and mind under a great deal of pressure. Achieving a level of calm is important to mental and physical health.

Relora Provides Natural Calmness Support
Relora is a blend of two trees that are native to China, Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense. The bark of both of these trees has been used in China to make an extract that may provide a feeling of calm and serenity. Part of the benefit from Relora is that it may help to lower cortisol levels. Once cortisol levels go down, the ‘fight or flight’ response diminishes, providing for a calmer outlook. Because stress and agitation often cause a disruption in the normal sleep cycle, it’s good to know that Relora may have the ability to allow those who take it to fall asleep and stay asleep more easily.

L-theanine Induces a Feeling of Calm
Those who enjoy drinking tea are well aware of the feeling of calm that often occurs when sitting down to a cup of tea. The calming agent is actually an amino acid called L-theanine and it’s found in both black and green teas. Studies have been done that show that L-theanine may have a significant role in not only keeping things calmer, but also in helping reduce anxiety in very stressful situations. Not only can L-theanine soothe, it also might help to increase mental focus and acuity at the same time. And, as it turns out the benefits of L-theanine don’t stop there, this amino acid may also help to reduce high blood pressure, so it may have cardiovascular benefits, too. Those who may be suffering from insomnia may also find relief when taking supplements that include L-theanine.

Personal Difficulties Led Jim Beck to Found Solaray
Way back in 1969, Jim had returned from a military tour in Vietnam. This tour had left both physical and mental scars that were interfering with Jim’s ability to lead a normal life. This difficulty got Jim interested in natural remedies and he started fiddling around with herbal combinations. When he started to see some success in treating himself, he realized it was time to start a company that would also help others, and this led to the founding of Solar Products in 1974, to be renamed Solaray in 1979.
