Brain Soothing Liquid

Chamomile, passionflower, valerian, L-theanine and 5-HTP in a liquid with B12 and magnesium taurate to support relaxation and sleep.

What it is

Brain Soothing Liquid combines three classic calming botanicals, chamomile flower, passionflower and valerian root, with L-theanine, 5-HTP from Griffonia seed, magnesium taurate and lithium orotate in an 830 mg proprietary blend. Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and magnesium are listed separately. It is a liquid, sweetened with luo han guo (monk fruit) extract and natural flavor, so it is measured by the teaspoon rather than swallowed as a capsule.

Who it's for

The formula is designed to support the GABA and serotonin systems, which play a role in relaxation, mood and the ability to settle into sleep. The write-up also names stress resilience, immune function and antioxidant activity as areas of support. It suits an adult or older child who wants a liquid rather than capsules and is looking for evening support. The label asks you to consult a healthcare professional before any use by minors, so involve your practitioner before giving it to a child.

Format and how to take

An 8 fl oz (240 mL) bottle, 24 servings. The label's suggested use: take 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) by mouth once a day, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Shake well before use. The product write-up suggests taking it before bed on an empty stomach. Refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness and keep the bottle tightly closed.
