MetaRelax™ is a magnesium formula specifically designed for times of stress with ingredients that play a critical role in building stress resilience and supporting the nervous system. Stress can deplete many nutrients, particularly magnesium as it causes this essential mineral to shift to the extracellular space, increasing urinary excretion and depleting body magnesium stores. This adversely affects key neurotransmitters like serotonin and acetylcholine, exacerbating stress.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated that a daily intake of 6g of taurine effectively inhibits the stress-induced release of adrenaline, highlighting taurine’s role in stress management. The synergy of magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and zinc is crucial for regulating the stress response, acting as cofactors in neurotransmitter synthesis.
Zinc is vital for modulating the stress response and has been linked to feelings of anxiety. Acute stress elevates serum glucocorticoids and induces metallothionein synthesis, reducing serum zinc levels.
By addressing these nutrient deficiencies, this formulation enhances the body’s ability to manage stress, leading to improved clinical outcomes for patients experiencing stress and anxiety, resulting in better stress resilience and overall mental wellbeing.
