1. GABA

- Short for γ-aminobutyric acid, a key inhibitory neurotransmitter

- Helps promote sleep by regulating the release of excitatory neurotransmitters

- Increases the duration of non-REM sleep

- Shown to significantly improve overall mood state based on the PMS (Profile of Mood States) questionnaire

- Demonstrated significant reduction in fatigue

- Uses Rice GABA70, derived from fermented Korean rice germ

2. Theanine

- An amino acid known to help reduce mental and physical stress

- Studies show that combining GABA and theanine enhances both REM and non-REM sleep more effectively than taking either alone

3. Tryptophan

- A precursor to serotonin, which is then converted into melatonin

- Melatonin is a hormone that regulates circadian rhythm and promotes sleep

- Serotonin, a limited neurotransmitter, can be supported through dietary intake of tryptophan

- Nighttime intake of tryptophan has been shown to increase physiological levels of both serotonin and melatonin

1. Oral Dissolving Strips (ODS)

- Functional ingredients are absorbed directly through oral mucosa into capillaries

- Bypasses digestive metabolism, allowing faster and more efficient absorption

- Especially effective via sublingual mucosa, which has ~4,000x higher permeability than skin for small water-soluble molecules
