- L-Theanine promotes calm, focused energy and supports restful sleep by lowering cortisol.
- L-Carnitine boosts stamina, recovery, and fertility by improving mitochondrial function.
- Bovine adrenal gland helps restore adrenal function and reduce fatigue from chronic stress.
- Betaine supports methylation pathways and neurotransmitter balance for mental clarity and mood.
