This supplement is designed for anyone who feels the weight of modern life taking a toll on their calm and their sleep. You might recognise yourself in one of these scenarios: You lie awake at 2am with a racing mind, replaying the day or worrying about tomorrow You feel “wired but tired” – exhausted yet unable to properly switch off Stress has become your baseline, and you can’t remember the last time you felt truly relaxed You’ve tried meditation apps and herbal teas, but need something more effective You want a natural approach to stress relief without the side effects of prescription medications You’re looking for a supplement backed by real clinical research, not just marketing claims If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone – and you’re in the right place. Natural Stress Relief: Why GABA and Ashwagandha Work Better Together Chronic stress operates through two distinct biological systems. The first is the nervous system – specifically the balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain. The second is the hormonal stress axis – the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) system. Most supplements address one of these systems. This formula addresses both. If you’re looking for a natural way to reduce stress and anxiety, support better sleep, and feel calmer throughout the day, this carefully formulated supplement offers a science-backed solution. By combining GABA – the brain’s primary calming neurotransmitter – with KSM-66® Ashwagandha, the gold-standard adaptogenic extract, this dual-mechanism formula provides comprehensive support for both immediate relaxation and long-term stress management. GABA: Your Body’s Natural Calm Signal GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It works by reducing neuronal excitability, helping to quiet an overactive mind and promote a sense of calm. Think of it as your nervous system’s natural “off switch”. Under chronic stress, this off switch becomes progressively outgunned – which is why the brain finds it harder to wind down the longer stress persists. Research shows that oral GABA supplements can support relaxation and help reduce stress markers. Clinical studies demonstrate measurable effects including increased alpha brain wave activity and reduced cortisol levels [1]. Many people take GABA supplements for sleep support, as GABA’s calming effects can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep [4, 5]. KSM-66® Ashwagandha: The Most Researched Adaptogen Not all ashwagandha supplements are created equal. This product uses KSM-66®, widely considered the premier ashwagandha extract available. Root-Only Full-Spectrum Extract: Following traditional Ayurvedic practice, KSM-66® uses only the root – never leaves. Standardised to ≥5% Withanolides: Consistent levels of active compounds in every batch. Backed by 24+ Clinical Studies: A landmark randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found a 27.9% reduction in cortisol and a 44% reduction in perceived stress scores compared to placebo [2]. Further trials have broadly replicated these findings across different populations, demonstrating improved anxiety scores, better sleep quality, and enhanced stress resilience [3, 6]. The Synergistic Formula Chamomile Extract (100 mg): Contains apigenin, which binds to GABA receptors to promote relaxation. Lemon Balm Extract (50 mg): Inhibits GABA-transaminase, extending GABA’s calming effects in the brain. 5-Methylfolate (400 mcg): The bioactive form of folic acid – an essential cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis. Advanced Liposomal Technology Traditional GABA supplements face absorption challenges. SANUSq’s liposomal technology uses microscopic phospholipid vesicles to protect active ingredients through digestion and deliver them directly to cells – significantly improving bioavailability compared to standard capsule forms. The liposomes are derived from GMO-free sunflower lecithin. Why Choose SANUSq? Liposomal technology for superior absorption KSM-66® – the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract Dual-mechanism formula: neural calm + hormonal reset in one capsule Synergistic formula with Chamomile, Lemon Balm and 5-Methylfolate Vegetable capsules – suitable for vegans FSSC 22000-certified manufacturing in the Netherlands Free from soy, gluten, GMOs, sugar and all 14 EU-listed allergens Precautions A dietary supplement cannot replace a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Consult your healthcare professional if pregnant or breastfeeding. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How long does it take to feel the effects? Many people notice a sense of calm within the first few days of taking GABA. Ashwagandha works more gradually, building resilience to stress over time. For full benefits – reduced cortisol, better sleep, improved emotional balance – we recommend 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Q: Is this a sedative? Will it make me drowsy? No. GABA + Ashwagandha is not a sedative. It is a dual-mechanism formula that supports the brain’s natural inhibitory capacity while simultaneously working on the hormonal axis that keeps stress elevated. Most people find it promotes a sense of calm and mental clarity without causing drowsiness, making it suitable for daytime use as well as evening. Q: Can I take this if I’m on medication? If you are taking prescription medication – particularly antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, blood pressure medications or statins – please consult your healthcare professional before starting this supplement. Q: Why liposomal GABA instead of regular GABA? Standard GABA supplements face well-documented absorption challenges. SANUSq’s liposomal technology wraps GABA in microscopic phospholipid vesicles that protect it through digestion and deliver it directly to your cells – significantly improving bioavailability compared to conventional capsule forms. Q: When should I take it – morning or evening? For stress relief during the day, take it in the morning with breakfast. For sleep support, take it 30–60 minutes before bedtime. Some people find early evening works well for both. Start with one approach and adjust based on your own response. Q: What’s the difference between KSM-66® and other ashwagandha? KSM-66® is a patented, full-spectrum extract made exclusively from the root using a water and milk extraction process – no chemical solvents. It is standardised to ≥5% withanolides and backed by over 24 clinical studies – more than any other ashwagandha extract on the market.   References: Abdou, A.M., Higashiguchi, S., Horie, K., Kim, M., Hatta, H. and Yokogoshi, H.

Works as an anti-oxidant: Vitamin C fights free radicals, that cause oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA; and lowers inflammation in the body. In this capacity, vitamin C helps to: Support heart health by preventing oxidation of LDL cholesterol and resulting inflammation. This reduces atherosclerosis risk (accumulation of plaque that causes heart attack and stroke.) Protects against free radical damage by cigarette smoke, UV rays, air pollution and harsh chemicals Reduces DNA damage caused by radiation exposure. DNA damage can cause cancer and genetic disorders. Prevents premature cellular ageing A Japanese study found that high doses of Vitamin C and other anti-oxidants minimized DNA damage and reduced overall risk of developing cancer in workers exposed to severe radiations at the Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant. [1] Health Benefits of Vitamin C Here are some of the major health benefits in more detail: Required for collagen synthesis Your body needs vitamin C to synthesise and repair collagen, a protein fibre that provides strength and structure to the tissues. Collagen works as a glue that holds everything together inside the body. Whether it is our skin, muscles, eyes, heart, ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, hair or teeth, all our tissues are made up of collagen. In this capacity, vitamin C helps to: Maintain and improve skin health Supports heart health [2] Maintain joints and bones health Keeps muscles healthy Reduces symptoms in arthritis [3-4] Repair tissues, heal burns, wounds and injuries faster Make teeth and gums healthy Maintain strength and flexibility of blood vessels Improves blood vessel health Charges the immune system Vitamin C’s role as an immune booster is widely known [5]. It strengthens the body’s natural ability to protect against many types of bacterial and viral infections. Increases production and activity of white blood cells and antibodies Reduces the duration and severity of the common cold Vitamin C also helps in: Iron absorption, prevents iron deficiency anemia Production of L-carnitine (required for fat metabolism) Synthesis of neurotransmitters, boosts brain function Reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety [6] We can’t make or store vitamin C in our body That’s why we must get it from our diet, through fresh fruits and vegetables or supplements. However, most of the vitamin C present in raw, whole foods is lost during the cooking process. In addition, smoking and alcohol depletes vitamin C from the body. Restricted diets, poor food choices, excessive use of drugs and antibiotics and conditions that causes absorption issues such as Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis causes further shortage of vitamin C. Chronic vitamin c deficiency can make you prone to developing infections and cause symptoms such as muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, joint pain and even depression. If you aren’t taking a healthy diet comprising of fresh fruits and vegetables, it is best to take high quality liposomal vitamin C to maintain your immunity; boost bones, joints and heart health, and keep your skin glowing and healthy. Why Liposomal Vitamin C? The problem with typical vitamin supplements (in tablets, pills or powder form) is that they are not very well absorbed in the gut. Most of it is degraded and lost during digestion. In fact, less than 20 % of vitamin C that we consume – whether through food or conventional supplements – is bio-available for uptake by the cells … and that is where it must reach. To add to these absorption problems, only a small amount from what is eventually released into the bloodstream reaches the cells. Being water soluble, vitamin C can’t easily penetrate cell membranes, which are made of fat.  Furthermore, high doses of regular vitamin C supplements cause gastrointestinal problems like abdominal cramps, bloating and diarrhoea. Using liposomal technology to encapsulate and deliver vitamin C solves these absorption and bio-availability challenges. Liposomes are small bubbles that can safely envelop dietary supplements and work as a perfect vehicle to deliver nutrients directly to the cells, without any loss or degradation that typically occurs during digestion. Why liposomal vitamin C is better than other forms of vitamin C? Bypasses the digestion process – resulting in direct delivery to cells, hence increased bioavailability Encapsulates and carries vitamin C within phospholipids bilayer – helping it cross the membrane-barrier without resistance, hence more uptake by the cells.   Prevents gastric distress and other side effects commonly experienced with traditional forms of supplements. Our liposomes are made of phospholipids derived from GMO-free sunflower oil A Japanese study found that high doses of Vitamin C and other anti-oxidants minimized DNA damage and reduced overall risk of developing cancer. [1] Vitamin C enhances the absorption of polysaccharides in Reishi. Polysaccharides are one of the most abundant bioactive compounds found in Reishi and are responsible for many health benefits, including its anti-oxidant and immune-modulating properties. Taking Reishi along with vitamin C rich foods or vitamin C supplements will help you get the most out of your Reishi supplements. SANUSq Liposomal Vitamin C Contains Glutathione High quality Liposomal Vitamin C from SANUSq comes with added glutathione, the master antioxidant and powerful detoxifier. Scavenges free radicals, lowers oxidative damage and inflammation Helps in DNA synthesis and DNA repair Helps the body to recycle other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and lipoic acid Detoxifies liver; gets rid of toxins, heavy metals, drugs and chemicals Improves functions of immune cells and fights infections Offers protection against radiation exposure Precautions Vitamin C increases iron absorption. Get your ferritin levels checked before you start using liposomal vitamin C. Too much iron in the body can increase your risk of heart disease. Your ferritin levels should be less than 80 ng/mL and transferrin saturation should be less than 40%. Consult your healthcare professional if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and also to determine if the supplement is suitable for children. References: Yanagisawa A.

FDA registered (Thailand)  1,500mg of Turmeric (Curcuma Longa L.) with Black pepper + Ginger per serving 100 vegetable capsules per bottle Non-GMO, 100% organic and pesticide free No additives or synthetic ingredients Screw top glass bottle Highly revered for its powerful medicinal and healing properties What is Turmeric? Turmeric is a well-known spice that comes from the plant Curcuma longa. It is native to India and other countries in Southeast Asia. In India, the root of turmeric has been used for centuries, both as a spice that adds flavour and colour to the food as well as a therapeutic herb used in digestive problems, skin disorders, cold, upper respiratory tract infections, liver disorders, wound healing and arthritis. In Ayurveda, the root of the turmeric plant is highly revered for its powerful medicinal and healing properties. Also known as the golden spice, turmeric is loaded with many bioactive compounds known as curcuminoids that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Curcumin is possibly the most researched bioactive compound present in turmeric root and many high-quality studies suggest that curcumin is one of the most effective natural substances that can reduce pain and inflammation in the body, without any adverse effects. In fact, some studies have suggested that turmeric could be as effective as commonly used prescription drugs in some health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes. Health Benefits of Turmeric Supplement in a Nutshell Works as a powerful anti-oxidant Reduces pain and inflammation Improves painful symptoms in arthritis Maintains liver health Reduces heart disease risk Supports brain health Improves skin health Curcumin Health Benefits 1.    Reduces inflammation Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids are mainstay medications to treat pain and inflammation, particularly in conditions such as arthritis, migraine, backpain and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Prolonged use of these medications can cause nausea, upset stomach, stomach ulcers and increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Using them over long-term can increase risk of heart disease and cause damage to liver and kidneys. Studies suggest curcumin can block the synthesis of molecules (such as NF-κB, cytokines and prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation. Research shows that curcumin may be more effective than traditional and commonly used anti-inflammatory medications. A number of human clinical trials have suggested that curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties can be used to manage various conditions where chronic inflammation is the main culprit. These conditions include atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, endothelial dysfunction, and even dementia. [1] 2.    Reduces symptoms in arthritis Curcumin reduces joint inflammation and eases painful symptoms in OA, due to its anti-inflammatory effects. [2] In fact, it has been found to be as effective as ibuprofen in reducing pain and improving joint function in people with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. [3] Curcumin also helps in reducing the symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition where chronic inflammation damages and destroys cartilage and the surrounding tissue. This causes painful joints with swelling, stiffness and reduced mobility. Chronic inflammation of the joint also causes joint injury and deformity. Studies show that curcumin can be safely used to manage symptoms in people with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In fact, it has been found to be more effective than diclofenac in reducing swelling and tenderness in the joints in RA, but with fewer side effects. [4] 3.    Supports respiratory tract health Curcumin is beneficial in cold, cough and flu-like symptoms. It also works as an anti-allergic and is known to reduce symptoms in allergic rhinitis and sinus pain. Curcumin helps manage the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes obstructed airways with symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, persistent cough and wheezing. It is mainly caused by prolonged exposure to substances that irritate and inflame the lungs, such as cigarette smoke and pollutants in the air. As a powerful anti-inflammatory substance, curcumin reduces inflammation in the airways and may also help relax the tracheal smooth muscle. Curcumin also reduces lung damage in active smokers.    4.    Helps in diabetes and pre-diabetes Curcumin in turmeric helps reduce blood sugar levels and improves insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes. It may even prevent the development of diabetes in pre-diabetic people, who are prone to developing full blown diabetes. Studies have revealed a number of mechanisms how curcumin may help people with diabetes. [5] For example, curcumin protects beta cells of the pancreas from oxidative damage. Beta cells are responsible for secreting insulin, a hormone that manages blood sugar levels. It also improves cholesterol levels and boosts the antioxidant status in people with type 2 diabetes. [6] Curcumin may also help prevent complications associated with diabetes, such as liver problems and diabetic nephropathy. Why black pepper is added to our curcumin product? While curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound, it not readily absorbed by the body owing to its poor bio-availability. Black pepper is known to improve the absorption and bio-availability of curcumin many times over. If you are looking to achieve the maximum benefits of curcumin that it is known for, it is best to consume curcumin with black pepper. Our product also contains ginger, which further adds to the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory punch of turmeric. On its own, ginger is known for its ability to boost immunity, ease pain and reduce inflammation. It also provides relief in nausea and supports healthy digestion. Other Health Benefits of Curcumin Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases Helps in inflammatory bowel disease Improves skin health Reduces the severity of PMS symptoms Reduces the risk of dementia and depression in the elderly May be helpful in Alzheimer’s Precautions Turmeric is considered as a safe supplement. Do not exceed recommended dosage and always consult your healthcare practitioner before you start taking turmeric in any form. Long-term use of turmeric in high doses can cause mild side effects such as nausea and stomach upset. People taking medications or herbal remedies to lower blood sugar levels should refrain from taking turmeric. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for women who are trying to conceive Not recommended for people with gallstones or a bile duct obstruction. Not recommended for people with bleeding disorders as it slows blood clotting. People with pre-existing medical conditions should consult their healthcare practitioner before taking turmeric supplements in any form. Curcumin slows blood clotting. If you are scheduled for surgery, stop using turmeric supplements two weeks before the planned procedure. References: Shimizu et al.

Refer to label for full list of ingredients.Suggested daily dosage: Take 5ml per day. Shake the bottle well before each use. Do not use if seal is broken or missing. Discount bundle available (Click here)Storage: Refrigerate after opening and consume within 60 days. ------------------------------ Product Description 150 mg Resveratrol per serving Liposomal resveratrol for improved bioavailability and absorption Vegan, Non-soy, Non-GMO, Sugar free, Gluten free Screw top bottle with measuring cup Anti-oxidant to protect your skin Health Benefits in a nutshell Powerful antioxidant Improves internal production of antioxidants Reduces inflammation Protects brain health Works as an anti-ageing compound Promotes heart health Helps in managing type 2 diabetes Improves skin health, prevents premature skin ageing What is resveratrol? Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant found in foods such as grapes, berries and peanuts. It is basically a polyphenol naturally produced by some plants in response to stress, injury, fungal infection, lack of nutrients and strong UV radiations. This compound helps these plants to survive in extremely stressful conditions. Studies show resveratrol supplements can help improve overall health with its anti-ageing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Resveratrol contributes holistically towards preventing and managing many chronic diseases that are typically associated with ageing. How does it work? Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Your body naturally produces free radicals when it produces energy and fights pathogens. As overwhelming production of these molecules causes damage to DNA, cell membrane, lipids, proteins and enzymes this causes a chain reaction that produces more and more free radicals with every step, causing excessive damage to cellular structures. This then leads to unwanted inflammation, premature ageing at a cellular level and an increased risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and neuro-degenerative diseases. Antioxidants such as resveratrol help neutralize free radicals and also minimise the damage caused by these molecules. While resveratrol is a potent antioxidant, it also improves the level of other antioxidants (such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione) that your body makes on its own. Resveratrol activates Sirtuin 1 Sirtuins are proteins associated with health and longevity. These proteins regulate many important biological processes such as cell survival, cell repair, energy production, immunity and metabolism. All these processes control health and ageing. Research suggests resveratrol activates SIRT1, one of the many sirtuins, which are particularly associated with longevity. Fasting or restricting calorie intake without depriving the body of essential nutrients is another way SIRT1 gets activated. It seems both resveratrol and calorie restriction improves health and longevity through similar mechanisms, i.e., by activating sirtuins. The activation of SIRT1 also improves the level and activity of mitochondria, tiny organelles in your cells that produce energy required by the cells to perform their functions. Mitochondria also regulate immunity and calcium balance. Mitochondria are the main site of free radical production and are especially vulnerable to oxidative damage which causes ageing and chronic diseases. Resveratrol health benefits 1.    Reduces heart disease risk [1] -    Delays the progression of atherosclerosis (plaque build-up in arteries)-    Improves endothelial functions, blood vessel health  -    Reduces blood pressure, improves blood circulation  -    Reduces risk of type 2 diabetes 2.    Supports brain health [2-5] -    Reduces inflammation in the brain-    Reduces the risk of neuro-degenerative disorders-    Delays cognitive decline and improves brain functions in those with type 2 diabetes -    Protects brain health in the elderly 3.    Helps maintain blood sugar levels [6-9] -    Lowers blood glucose levels-    Improves insulin sensitivity-    Reduces insulin resistance-    Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress-    Reduces arterial stiffness in those with type 2 diabetes 4.    Improves skin health -    Protects skin from oxidative damage caused by UV radiations -    Repairs skin damage-    Helps in collagen synthesis, reduces signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles All these properties make resveratrol a great supplement if you are looking to control inflammation and premature ageing naturally. Grapes, peanuts, blueberries and cocoa contain good amounts but it is not possible to get high amounts of resveratrol through food sources alone. The most efficient way to ensure your body can utilize Resveratrol supplementation is by taking an authentic and high-quality Liposomal product, as regular supplements are metabolized and excreted from the body rapidly, and sometimes causing great discomfort. Liposomal Resveratrol Our high quality liposomal resveratrol offers high absorption and bioavailability. Liposomes are very tiny bubbles that work as efficient carriers of nutrients and deliver these nutrients directly to the cells without any loss or degradation, which is a huge challenge with non-liposomal products. As we age, the ability of our body to absorb nutrients declines significantly, and so the bioavailability of supplements is of critical importance. Certain health conditions that affect absorption (Crohn’s and celiac), abdominal surgeries, nutritional deficiencies and poor gut health also negatively affect how well you can absorb nutrients. Regular supplements may cause side effects such as bloating, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, especially when taken in large doses so you should always look for Liposomal products to maximise the supplements you are consuming. Precautions We don’t recommend this supplement for: Pregnant and breastfeeding women Children Those with bleeding disorders Individuals on blood thinning medicines such as aspirin, ibuprofen and warfarin. Women with breast, ovarian, or uterine cancers Women with hormonal disorders People with kidney stones People taking drugs for high blood pressure or high blood sugar levels People who have a surgery scheduled in 2-3 weeks This product should not replace a healthy, wholesome diet. It is meant to be used as a dietary supplement.

Also known as master-antioxidant, glutathione is a simple molecule made up of three amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) – cysteine, glycine and glutamine. Every cell in the body makes its own glutathione. Glutathione traps free radicals and toxins and removes them from the body. As you age, your body does not make as much glutathione as it did in your peak years. In fact, glutathione production in the body begins to decline after you hit your 20s. Unhealthy lifestyle, medications, infections, chronic stress and exposure to chemicals and toxins lead to excessive production of free radicals, and cause your body to use more glutathione (and also other antioxidants) to neutralize free radicals and limit the oxidative damage. This leads to glutathione deficiency. Poor magnesium levels also create a shortage of glutathione as you need magnesium to make this master-antioxidant. Low levels of glutathione lead to increased oxidative damage and accumulation of toxins – causing chronic inflammation, faster ageing and poor immunity. 1.    Glutathione: One of the most powerful antioxidants your body makes Glutathione is popularly known as the “mother of all antioxidants’ or “master antioxidant” and it is not without a reason. It is one of the most powerful endogenous antioxidants (produced by the body on its own). Since it is present within the cells, it offers cells and its fragile structures first-hand protection from oxidative damage. Regenerated in the liver once it has been used by the body Strengthens body’s antioxidant power by reactivating other important antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10 and alpha-lipoic acid Protects DNA from oxidation during cell division Repairs DNA damage Protects immune cells from oxidative damage Destroys hydroxyl free radicals, the most harmful species of free radicals that are produced during exposure to ionizing radiation. 2.    Glutathione in detoxification and liver function Glutathione plays a very important role in eliminating all kinds of toxins from the body, including heavy metals, drugs and chemicals. Accumulation of heavy metals and oxidative damage impacts brain health in particular. These two factors are strongly associated with the development of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Protects liver from the oxidative damage due to free radicals, produced during detoxification process. Binds with toxins so they are water-soluble and can be easily expelled from the body through kidneys, intestines and skin. By making toxins water soluble, glutathione prevents them from being retained in fatty tissues and causing long-term damage. Can help in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [3] 3.    Glutathione in immunity Glutathione plays a huge role in both innate (natural) and adaptive (acquired) immunity. Low levels can adversely affect immune functions, making you vulnerable to developing infections. All immune cells, including T cells, produce glutathione.   Increases the production of white blood cells Activates immune cells Protects immune cells from oxidative damage caused by toxic by-products that are naturally produced when your immune system fights pathogens.   Activates natural killer cells that help control the growth of TB (tuberculosis) causing mycobacteria [1] Helps T cells to produce energy and launch immune responses required to fight infections and even cancer. [2] 4.    Glutathione in exercise performance There are many reasons why glutathione is used by athletes to boost their exercise performance. Heavy, strenuous exercise triggers excessive production of free radicals that not only cause oxidative damage in the muscle cells but also promote inflammation, increases soreness in muscles and supresses immunity. This results in muscle fatigue, burn-out and poor exercise performance. Glutathione improves exercise performance as it: Reduces oxidative stress caused by exercise Reduces muscle fatigue and improves energy levels Helps in tissue repair and faster recovery Improves heart function Boosts immunity and reduces risk of infections What do low glutathione levels mean for your health? Increased oxidative damage and chronic inflammation Reduced energy levels Poor liver function and reduced ability to get rid of toxins Poor immune functions and increased risk of infections DNA damage Premature cellular ageing and increased risk of age-related chronic diseases Bonne Sante Liposome Glutathione Regular oral glutathione supplements may not be very helpful in increasing your glutathione levels because of poor absorption and bio-availability. Most of the glutathione, when ingested, is broken down by the elements of the digestive system. So, only a very small amount is able to enter the bloodstream – leading to poor bioavailability and poor absorption rates. Bioavailability is the amount of a substance available for the cells to use and absorb.  This is where a high quality liposomal glutathione supplement can help: Improves absorption and bioavailability Contains reduced form of glutathione (GSH), a form that can readily neutralize free radicals by donating electrons Contains vitamin E which helps boost GSH levels References: Allen et al.

Jiaogulan or Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a climbing herb native to China but it also grows in other Asian countries such as Thailand and Japan. The people from the mountainous regions of southern China have been using Jiaogulan for more than hundreds of years: as a tonic herb to boost energy and stamina, to reduce stress and fatigue as a folk medicine to treat common cold, bronchitis and infectious diseases Jiaogulan is also known as the “Herb of Immortality”. It was a little-known herb that fetched huge attention when a nation-wide census in China in the 1970s brought forth some astonishing results.  It found that most people from villages of Guizhou, Guangxi and Sichuan provinces lived up to 100 years of age and had a low occurrence of cancer and other diseases. A subsequent investigation by a team of researchers revealed the reason for this unusual longevity and health of the locals was that people from these regions regularly consumed tea made of Jiaogulan leaves. Health Benefits of Jiaogulan in a Nutshell Rejuvenates body and mind Boosts energy and stamina Reduces fatigue Relieves stress and promotes calm Regulates blood pressure Strengthens immunity Regulates metabolism Reduces inflammation No additives, free from pesticides Health Benefits of Jiaogulan in more detail Here are some of the major health benefits in more details: 1.   Treasure trove of saponins: Bioactive compounds with tremendous health benefits Jiaogulan contains 100 different saponins [1], bioactive compounds that are known for their tremendous anti-oxidant properties and have beneficial effects on blood pressure, cholesterol levels, the nervous system, immunity and cancer. These phytochemicals are the reason why Jiaogulan offers such incredible health benefits. Jiaogulan also contains other important nutrients such as sterols, vitamins, flavonoids, polysaccharides, amino acids and many trace minerals. Jiaogulan offers holistic health benefits to almost every system in our body. It is found to regulate, nourish and strengthen our immune system, nervous system, digestive system, circulatory system and endocrine (hormone) system while protecting many organs such as heart, liver, brain and spleen. Regular use of this herb has been shown to increase longevity, sustain high energy levels and protect our systems from the wear and tear induced by everyday stress. 2.   Adaptogenic herb: The key to maintain balance and alleviate stress Adaptogens are one of those rare and amazing herbs that enhance the body’s resistance to everyday stress, fatigue and anxiety. These herbs are also called biological response modifiers. Remarkably, only one in 4,000 plants is classified as an adaptogen. To qualify, the plants must strictly possess these special characteristics: Help the body to adapt to all kinds of stress (environmental, physical, emotional or chemical) Restore balance and regulate internal functions in the body Must have a non-specific action on the body Be safe to use and cause no harm in the body Jiaogulan is one of the most powerful adaptogenic herbs. It equips the body to deal with any kind of stress and promotes overall emotional and physical well-being. The beauty of Jiaogulan is that it basically brings balance to internal functions. It can sense what is missing and work accordingly to fill the gap. For example, if you are overweight Jiaogulan can help you lose weight. On the other hand, it will help you absorb nutrients more efficiently if you are underweight and help you build lean muscle mass. It can calm you down but also has the potential to energize a depressed nervous system. In short, Jiaogulan maintains a state of balance in the body. This balance is the key to vitality, and long life while reinforcing the body’s ability to self-repair and self-heal. 3.   Amazing anti-oxidant: The key to a longer, healthier life We need antioxidants to protect our cells, DNA and tissues from oxidative damage by free radicals. This oxidative stress causes chronic inflammation – causing our organs to decline and age faster. Researchers have long blamed chronic inflammation for conditions like atherosclerosis (plaque accumulation in the arteries) and almost all age associated ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cataracts, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and auto-immune disorders. The good news is our body produces some very powerful anti-oxidants internally. And Jiaogulan stimulates the body’s intrinsic ability to produce these endogenous anti-oxidants, such as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Glutathione and Catalase. Jiaogulan’s amazing ability to encourage the body’s own production of anti-oxidants is one of the primary reasons why this ancient herb has been linked with anti-ageing benefits and longevity. 4.   Strengthens the nervous system: Calms yet energizes Jiaogulan is an adaptogen, and it strives to create balance and harmony within the body and mind. This property makes the herb particularly beneficial to the nervous system. With its antioxidant and adaptogenic qualities, Jiaogulan makes it easier to manage and respond to stress. It supports and reinforces all the underlying systems that regulate our response to stress and anxiety. It optimizes the nervous system, endocrine system and immune system and helps the body heal and recover from stress, injury or disease. Jiaogulan not only rejuvenates the body and mind and boosts energy, it also calms you when feeling stressed or strung out. Helps with insomnia and promotes sleep Relieves stress and anxiety [2] Strengthens and nourishes adrenal glands Calms nerves Regulates stress hormones Improves mood Supports heart health 5.   Protects heart: Improves heart functions and lowers risk factors Jiaogulan has strong antioxidant properties that help reduce the oxidative damage and inflammation in the blood vessels. It also stimulates the endothelium (inner lining of the blood vessels) to release nitric oxide (NO). NO is a vasodilator that helps to relax the blood vessels. Reduced NO increases blood pressure, initiates plaque formation and causes arteries to constrict. These factors damage arteries, and make them thicker and less flexible. Jiaogulan improves blood circulation and reduces blood pressure while providing more of nutrients and oxygen to tissues and organs.  In all, Jiaogulan offsets many risk factors associated with heart attacks and stroke. •    Improves overall vascular health•    Lowers LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels•    Regulates blood pressure (by dilating blood vessels)•    Prevents clot formation 6.   Boosts energy and stamina Jiaogulan is often used by athletes to boost energy, stamina levels and performance.  It combines many properties to help increase stamina and protect from physical damage that occurs during exercise or physically demanding tasks. For example, Jiaogulan improves the pumping function of the heart to provide more oxygen and nutrients to the muscle. This herb also helps the body to produce internal anti-oxidants and regulate the production of NO, that dilates blood vessels. All these factors help to: •    Improve cardiac productivity•    Improve energy levels•    Reduce fatigue•    Recover faster from exhaustion•    Build endurance capacity Why should you buy SANUSq’s Jiaogulan capsules? •    Mountain harvested Jiaogulan (wild-crafted)•    Organic produce; free of toxic pesticides or fertilizers•    Capsules are ideal for use when travelling and short of time Precautions Always consult your health practitioner; and share your medical history and any information about any medicine you are taking before you start using Jiaogulan or any other herbal product. Pregnant, breast-feeding women and small children should avoid taking Jiaogulan. Jiaogulan may cause slight nausea and increased bowel movements when used long-term. Not recommended for patients who are taking drugs for heart conditions like blood thinners or to lower blood pressure Avoid Jiaogulan if you are taking immune suppressing drugs; for example, after organ transplant surgery.
