Brain Calm

DESCRIPTION
Brain Calm, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, is an effective blend of critical amino acids and nutrients that provide support for a calmer brain.
FUNCTIONS
Inositol is found in all animal tissues, with the
highest concentration found in the brain and heart. It
is a component of the outer lining of all cells in the
body, contributes to muscular and nerve function, and
also plays a role in helping the processing of fats by
the liver.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid
that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain.
GABA is synthesized in the brain from another
amino acid, glutamate, and functions as an inhibitory
neurotransmitter – meaning that it blocks nerve
impulses. In the body, GABA is concentrated in the
hypothalamus region of the brain and is known to
play a role in the overall functioning of the pituitary
gland – which regulates growth hormone synthesis,
sleep cycles, and body temperature. Glycine, a non-
essential amino acid, also plays an important role in
the activity of certain neurotransmitters.
INDICATIONS
Brain CALM may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals wishing to supplement their diet with
nutrients to support an efficient yet relaxed state
of mental being.
