Key Ingredients

Saffron Extract

Saffron extract

  • The active compounds in saffron extract balance brain neurotransmitters (GABA, serotonin), hence restores balanced and positive mood.
  • Saffron able to keep “happy hormone” serotonin in the brain longer, thereby enhancing its positive effect on mood.

Clinical proven efficacy on moods: studies

(Akhondzadeh et al., 2005; Jackson et al., 2012)

Saffron extract also provides positive effect on moods and depression within a week’s time without any adverse effects.

(Noorbala et al., 2005)
Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha

  • Also known as ‘Indian Ginseng’, Ashwagandha is known for its significant sleep quality improvement.
  • For example, a better sleep quality impacts wakefulness during day time.
  • Ashwagandha intake also helps to lower the “stress hormone” cortisol level.

Clinical proven efficacy on sleep quality: studies

(Langade et al., 2019; Cooley et al., 2009)
  • Besides that, non-restorative sleep (NRS) affects 10% people worldwide, leading to poor sleep quality, as well as physical and cognitive fatigue, and may result in other sleep disorders.
  • Supplementation of Ashwagandha root extract significantly improves sleep quality.
(Langade et al., 2019; Cooley et al., 2009)
  • A 72% increase in sleep quality was found for the treatment group, compared with 29% in the placebo group (p < 0.001) (Deshpande et al., 2020).
Magnesium

Magnesium

  • One of the essential minerals that plays important roles in our body, especially on the Central Nervous System functioning, as well as other physiological functions.
  • Magnesium is known for calming effect which supports better sleep, where it regulates the release of stress hormone to the brain.
  • However, magnesium can be lost through excretion during stress and anxiety. Individuals with anxiety have been found to have lower levels of magnesium.
  • Therefore, magnesium citrate in MBiENS is highly bioavailable form that is easily absorbed by the body.
  • Known as the ‘Calm mineral’, Magnesium is it is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions, as well as for specific actions in various organs such as the neuromuscular or cardiovascular system.
  • Magnesium helps the body to maintain healthy levels of GABA, thus allowing for more restorative sleep. Hence, GABA can help calm both body and mind while you prepare for sleep.
