Key Ingredients in B-Calm spray
Vitamins in B-Calm spray:
C
B3
B5
B6
B12
C
The crucial role of vitamin C in early brain development and prevention of chronic disease.
Vitamin C also works in conjunction with B vitamins to aide in the metabolism of the stress-related hormones (dopamine, cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenalin). Thus preventing these hormones from dampening the immune response.
B3
Niacin helps to maintain the proper health of your digestive system, skin and nerves, and B12 (cobalamin) is also needed for a healthy nervous system.
B5
Pantothenic acid often referred to as the “anti-stress vitamin,” is critical to the manufacture of stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands 2.
B6
Pyridoxine has a positive influence on the production of the brain chemical serotonin. Changes in serotonin levels can alter the mood and affect a person’s ability to cope with stress.
B12
Vitamin B12 along with Vitamin B6 are the two principal members of the B complex that have an effect on stress, and a deficiency of these may make you more prone to this frequently debilitating condition.
Herbal Extracts in B-Calm spray:
Cramp Bark
Gingko biloba
Valerian root
Feverfew & Passionflower
Cramp Bark
Cramp bark is a plant that grows in North America. Historically, Native Americans used cramp bark as medicine for reducing swollen glands and treating fluid retention, mumps, and eye disorders. Nowadays, the bark and root of this plant are used to make medicine for relieving cramps, including muscle spasms and menstrual cramps, as well as for increasing sleepiness.
Gingko biloba
Ginkgo biloba extract has been used for centuries in traditional Eastern cultures, often to improve memory and to treat circulatory disorders. The ginkgo tree is one of the oldest tree species in the world. Some research has shown that ginkgo can improve sleep in certain patients. For example, in 2001 one of studies published in “Pharmacopsychiatry” found that ginkgo improved sleep in depressed patients who reported that the ginkgo extract significant improved their sleep patterns and helped wake up less during the night. The researchers also noted that those who took the ginkgo extracts had their non-REM sleep phase enhanced.
Valerian root
Valerian root is a popular ingredient in pharmacology and herbal medicine as sleep remedy. It has been used to ease anxiety, insomnia and nervous restlessness since the second century A.D. According to the National Institutes of Health, there is good body of scientific evidence that it improves the quality of sleep and reduces the time needed to fall asleep, especially when taken nightly for several weeks. Scientists still debate on how valerian works. Some believe it increases the amount of a chemical in the brain called gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA has a calming effect on anxiety and helps regulate nerve cells.
Feverfew & Passionflower
In herbal medicine, feverfew is used in treating chronic headaches and migraines that has been also recognised by the conventional medical practitioners (the British Medical Journal and the Harvard Medical School Health Letter published the success stories of relieving migraines by taking feverfew ). Additional benefits include lower blood pressure, less stomach irritation, relieving the pain and inflammation of arthritis.
Passionflower is a protective antioxidant powerhouse containing flavonoids, sterols, cholorogenic acid, volatile oil and traces of alkaloids (including harmine, harman). Several sstudies indicated that significantly reduced anxiety-like reactivity. The British Herbal Compendium indicates its use for sleep disorders, restlessness and nervous stress. In several traditional systems of medicine this herb has been used as a sleep aid for occasional sleeplessness nights and for the treatment of epilepsy.

Mechanism of Stress
The biochemistry of stress is fairly complex and is based on the production and release of hormones into your bloodstream that triggers release of cortisol by the adrenal glands to speeds up the metabolism. Parallel, the cells of the brain stem and spinal cord send a message that stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete epinephrine.
This increases the heart rate, breathing and alertness, ready for fight or flight. If this cycle continues over an extended period of time it can have serious repercussions on your mental and physical health.
Stress damages the heart
Stress triggers the ‘fight or flight’ mechanism leading to a surge of adrenalin and increasing the heart pump harder and blood flow. Stress sends the immune system into overdrive and worsens inflammation in the arteries. Scientists have proven a direct biological link between stress, inflammation of blood vessels and a heart attack.
