At more moderate doses of 1-4 grams\/day, inositol has been shown to effectively regulate insulin receptor sensitivity and improve fertility in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). When combined with folic acid, inositol has been demonstrated to improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) rates. Moreover, another study found that this same combination of nutrients was more effective at inducing ovulation and achieving pregnancy in infertile women with PCOS when directly compared to metformin.

It is responsible for calming the mind and balancing neurotransmission under excitatory conditions, acting as the “yin” to the many “yang” chemicals found in the central nervous system. Lower brain levels of GABA have been correlated with various mood disorders, sleep concerns and other neurological disorders. In fact, the widely used class of benzodiazepine drugs (such as diazepam and alprazolam) and sedative medications (such as zolpidem) exert their beneficial effects primarily by activating GABA receptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGABA can also be delivered as a standalone amino acid supplement to support these same psychiatric and neurological disorders. Studies indicate that GABA can improve relaxation and concentration during times of stress, reduce sleep latency and increase time spent in deep sleep. This makes GABA particularly useful in individuals with difficulty initiating sleep because they cannot calm their racing mind. In addition to these neurological effects, GABA has been shown to produce a significant increase in growth hormone levels when supplemented in large bolus doses or when combined with whey protein and resistance exercise. One study of the latter combination showed improved lean muscle mass after 12 weeks when compared to whey protein supplementation alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the most obvious mechanism of action for GABA supplementation is the activation of GABA receptors, this also leads to various downstream physiological effects. For example, GABA supplementation has been found to increase alpha-brain waves and reduce beta brain waves in the central nervous system, leading to a more relaxed yet alert state. Additionally, stable levels of salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) and reduced cortisol levels have been found in individuals exposed to stressful circumstances if supplemented with GABA beforehand. Collectively, these mechanisms all indicate a reduced and more balanced stress response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all, GABA is a safe and effective therapeutic amino acid to help calm the mind, reduce stress and improve sleep.

This makes sense given that exercise is a form of stress on the body and mind.

Improvements in those who report being ‘wired and tired’ meaning that they are anxious but exhausted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt appears that rhodiola is able to positively impact mood, energy and stress coping through cortisol balancing, blood sugar regulation and neurotransmitter support.

Indeed, modern research has found that the herb can not only help to balance cortisol levels but it may also be indicated for a wide variety of ailments. That being said, ashwagandha extracts can be prepared through a variety of methods, and not all extraction processes should be expected to produce the same results. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAshwagandha\u003c\/strong\u003e by CytoMatrix includes KSM-66® ashwagandha, a proprietary full-spectrum extract of Withania root with extensive clinical research to support its use for stress-related health concerns. Through a patented alcohol-free, solvent-free extraction process that took over a decade to perfect, KSM-66® can retain high concentrations of both hydrophilic components and lipophilic components of the raw root. This is something that not all ashwagandha extracts offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps more importantly, KSM-66® has over 20 human clinical trials to support its efficacy in areas of memory and cognition, stress reduction, improved thyroid function, sleep quality, and weight management. KSM-66® is also unique from other ashwagandha root extracts as it has specifically been studied and shown to improve sperm parameters, muscle strength, testosterone levels in males, and sexual function in females.
