SpeakAssured IS A BIOCEUTICAL

It is increasingly accepted, even by the western medical establishment, that many of the most effective medicinal compounds are found in nature. Remedies derived from natural plants and their derivatives have been used traditionally in various cultures around the world and are still used today to successfully treat many common health concerns. This type of remedy has been termed bioceutical. As health-related concerns continue to mount, and the limits of traditional medicine continue to come to light, the market for bioceutical solutions has grown dramatically. People are looking more and more to natural remedies, like SpeakAssured, as an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs.

INGREDIENTS CAREFULLY SELECTED BY TRADITION AND SCIENCE

Because there are so many different physical reactions to performance anxiety, SpeakAssured includes 18 all-natural ingredients, which have either been studied extensively in clinical trials, or have been used in herbal medicine for thousands of years, including:

WHAT DO THESE INGREDIENTS DO?

GABA (Gabapentin - 250 mg)

Benefits: Anti-anxiety; memory support.
Action: Neurotransmitter Inhibitor: Gamma-aminobutyric acid.
Description: This amino acid, which has been referred to as the brain's natural calming agent, is considered a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (found in 30%-40% of all brain synapses), which is indispensable during moments of over excitement or anxiety. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that foster communication between nerve cells - and help keep stress-related nerve impulses at bay. At times of anxiety, the nerves are firing at increased rates and may overload, resulting in symptoms that lead to poor performance. GABA inhibits synapses in the brain and spinal cord, blocking the transmission of an impulse from one cell to another (and preventing them from "over-firing"), thereby promoting a more relaxed state. GABA therefore inhibits anxiety and stress-related messages from reaching the motor centers of the brain. The result is its ability to bring balance to excitability that could otherwise lead to anxiety, emotional stress, restlessness, insomnia, and other disruptive conditions. Clinical studies have shown that GABA may help provide positive support for memory and other healthy cognitive functions and promote a relaxed state.

TAURINE (100 mg)

Pronunciation: taw'-ren
Benefits: Anti-Anxiety.
Action: Neurotransmitter Stabilizer: Aminoethanesulfonic acid.
Description: Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body, found in the central nervous system, skeletal muscles, brain and heart. It helps stabilize cell membranes in the brain by regulating electro-chemical forces and functions with GABA and glycine to inhibit and modulate neurotransmitters. This means taurine helps to calm or stabilize an excited brain by preventing brain cell over-activity. Research has shown taurine's effect as an anti-anxiety agent. Symptoms of taurine deficiency include anxiety, hyperactivity and poor brain function. Taurine has also been used to treat hypertension, high blood sugar, high cholesterol and heart disease.

GLYCINE (100 mg)

Pronunciation: glī'-sēn
Benefits: Memory and attention promotion; treats anxiety, ulcers and insomnia.
Action: Neurotransmitter Inhibitor
Description: This non-essential amino acid is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina, where it helps alleviate the major excitatory neurotransmitters. Glycine is the simplest of twenty different amino acids used as building blocks to make the body's proteins. Glycine may be used to improve attention and memory, as well as treat anxiety, phobias, stomach ulcers, muscle spasms, insomnia, and low blood sugar.

INOSITOL (100 mg) 

Pronunciation: i-noh'si-tawl
Benefits: Calming agent; mitigates panic attacks.
Action: Central Nervous System Calming Agent.
Description: This simple sugar is an important nutritional compound that is a fundamental ingredient of cell membranes and necessary for the proper function of the brain, nerves, and muscles. Inositol has a calming effect on the central nervous system and is essential for helping cells communicate with one another, a process known as cell signaling. It is required for the proper function of several brain neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin. Inositol has been shown to help relieve mild mood shifts and occasional anxiety caused by stress, as well as mitigate panic attacks, agoraphobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. An inositol deficiency may be a contributing cause to memory loss, anxiety, and constipation.

5-HTP (50 mg)

Benefits: Anti-depressant; minimizes mood swings and headaches.
Action: Serotonin stimulator: 5-Hydroxytryptophan.
Description: The body uses this amino acid to produce the important brain chemical serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in sleep, moods, appetite, pain control, and other body functions. Unlike other dietary supplements, 5-HTP molecules are believed to be small enough to pass directly through the blood-brain barrier, thus increasing the availability of serotonin in the central nervous system. Further analysis shows that 5-HTP administration also stimulates the activity of the neurochemicals norepinephrine, dopamine and melatonin. It is thought that together, these mechanisms of action promote a healthy neurotransmitter balance in the brain and provide positive support for a depressed mood and mild to moderate mood swings caused by everyday stress, occasional nervousness, nervous tension and anxiety. Research strongly suggests that low serotonin levels in the brain have resulted from two common aspects of modern living today: (1) poor dietary practices and (2) stress-filled lives. Raising the level of serotonin levels in the brain may help mitigate the frequency of headaches or feelings of depression, sugar/carbohydrate cravings, and muscle aches and pains.

L-TYROSINE (25 mg)

Pronunciation: ti'ro-sen
Benefits: Positively affects cognitive and physical performance.
Action: Adaptogen; dopamine accelerator.
Description: L-tyrosine is a starting material for neurotransmitters and increases dopamine and norepinephrine. L-tyrosine's positive effect on mood, as well as cognitive and physical performance, is noticeable in humans subjected to stressful conditions. Tyrosine appears to prevent the decline in various aspects of performance and mood associated with many kinds of acute stress, and may prove useful in improving performance in situations where performance is compromised by stress. Tyrosine may act as an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to and cope with the effects of physical or psychological stress by minimizing the symptoms brought on by stress. A number of studies have found l-tyrosine to be useful during conditions of stress, cold, fatigue, prolonged work and sleep deprivation.

L-THEANINE (from Green Tea Extract - 20 mg)

Benefits: Calming agent; promotes mental acuity.
Action: Involved in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, affecting dopamine and serotonin levels.
Description: An amino acid found naturally in green tea, theanine produces calming effects in the brain while improving cognition. L-theanine is involved in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, which in turn influences the levels of two other neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin. The result is this two-pronged impact of promoting both relaxation and concentration. The ability to increase the brain's "relaxation" chemicals can literally put you in a better mood and create a sense of well-being. Although theanine creates a feeling of relaxation, it doesn't shut down the brain. In fact, it has been shown to enhance the mental ability to focus, learn and remember. L-theanine helps promote a restful state without diminishing alertness. People under stress can mitigate its harmful effects with l-theanine, which reduces anxiety without the tranquilizing effects found in many other calming supplements. By increasing the brain's output of alpha waves, theanine may control anxiety, increase mental focus, improve concentration, and promote creativity.

NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide - 10 mcg)

Benefits: Mind energizer; mouth and throat lubrication.
Action: Coenzyme form of vitamin B3 required for the brain's production of neurotransmitters.
Description: NADH is one of the most important co-enzymes in the human brain and body. (A coenzyme is the working form of a vitamin; NADH is the coenzyme form of vitamin B3). A good supply of NADH optimizes energy production in the body because it is required for the manufacture of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the principal source of energy for all cellular functions. In the brain, NADH plays a critical role in its ability to help transform the amino acid tyrosine into vital neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinepherine, and epinepherine. Dopamine is involved in mood, energy, sexual drive, concentration, memory and muscle movement. Thus, through its multiple roles in producing ATP energy, NADH might be expected to literally energize the brain. Notably, NADH also serves a hydrogen donor in the respiratory chain, which means that it can help provide lubrication to the vocal cords and keep the mouth moist.

Green Tea Leaf Extract (100 mg)

Benefits: Nerve sedative; mental booster.
Action: Antioxidant.
Description: Camellia sinensis, packed with powerful antioxidants, nerve sedatives and astringent (contracting tissues, thereby diminishing discharges of blood) is often used to relieve headaches and calm the nerves. Green tea contains caffeine, which stimulates the central nervous system. It has been used as both a drink and in its pure medicinal form for nearly 5,000 years. Historical uses of green tea include reducing high blood pressure, regulating body temperature and blood sugar, and promoting digestion. Significantly, green tea has also been shown to improve mental processes. Contains high concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals - damaging compounds in the body that harm cells, interfere with DNA (genetic material), and cause cell death.

Jujube Date (50 mg)

Pronunciation: joo'joob
Benefits: Nerve relaxer and throat soother
Description: This edible fruit has been cultivated for over 4,000 years, and is now in demand by many cultures and present around the globe. In Chinese and Korean traditional medicine, the fruit is ground to a powder and very small amounts are used to promptly calm the nerves, thereby alleviating stress. Jujube has been described as an almost miraculous health tonic, able to nourish the blood, liver, and spleen while detoxifying the body, calming the mind, and giving relief from heat. It is significant to note that the jujube fruit is mucilaginous, and has often been used in pharmacy to soothe dry sore throats.

Chamomile (25 mg)

Pronunciation: kam'o-mil
Benefits: Nerve and muscle relaxer, stomach soothing, headache alleviation.
Description: Used traditionally to calm frayed nerves, treat various digestive disorders, and relieve muscle spasms, Chamomile is most known for its use as an herbal tea that promotes relaxation. It is renowned for its calming effects and is an ideal choice for those with stomach problems aggravated by anxiety (i.e. ulcers or nausea). It is thought that the combination of bio-active components in chamomile flowers contribute to its effectiveness in promoting relaxation, soothing tension and relieving occasional anxiety and panic caused by emotional stress. The calming effects of chamomile may help to relieve restlessness, tension, feelings of anxiety, migraine, tension headache and insomnia. Muscle pain that results from stress and worry is another indication for the use of chamomile, as are muscles twitches or tics.

Ginkgo Biloba (25 mg)

Pronunciation: ging'ko bə ló bə
Benefits: Brain function support.
Action: Increases blood flow, particularly to brain.
Description: Gingko is the world's oldest living species of tree. Extract from the ginko leaf has proven useful for memory and concentration problems, anxiety, stress, and mood problems caused by decreased blood flow in the brain. Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow to the brain and throughout the body's blood vessels that provide blood and oxygen to the organ systems. Ginkgo biloba increases metabolism efficiency, regulates neurotransmitters, and oxygen levels in the brain. Enhanced circulation in the brain includes improved short and long term memory, reaction time and mental clarity. Increased blood circulation also improves memory by creating a greater flow of oxygen to the brain. Some studies have shown that ginkgo can significantly improve attention-span in healthy individuals.

St.John's Wort Extract (25 mg)

Benefits: Anti-depressant.
Action: Increase dopamine levels and inhibit GABA uptake.
Description: St.John's Wort is used promote a positive mood balance and alleviate mild to moderate mood changes caused by stress, occasional nervousness, and anxiety. Hypericin (Pronunciation: hī-pĕr'-i-sin) - the active ingredient in St. John's Wort - has been shown to support a healthy neurotransmitter balance in the brain by helping to increase dopamine levels and inhibit GABA uptake. Several studies have found hypericin to be effective in the treatment of mild to moderate depression, with fewer side effects than many pharmaceutical antidepressants.

Schizandra (25 mg)

Benefits: Adaptogen; brain function stimulation.
Description: Schizandra berries have a long history of use in herbal medicine, and is now recognized as an "adaptogen" capable of increasing the body's resistance to stress and disease. The term "adaptogenic" refers to any herb that usually has a normalizing action irrespective of the direction of the pathological state. In other words, it doesn't matter whether you're too nervous or too exhausted; either way, schizandra will redirect you from an extreme to an ideal, balanced state. Significantly, it helps the body adapt to stress by stimulating the central nervous system without creating an excitatory effect. Schizandra therefore helps provide a mental boost without the jitteriness caused by caffeine. Its strengthening effect is combined with system-balancing properties, making it ideal for such conditions as nervous exhaustion and lack of focus. Historically, schizandra has been used to treat night sweats, insomnia, thirst, sore throat, physical exhaustion, forgetfulness, and notably, to promote mental function. Research has indicated that it may also provide additional medicinal benefits, including: anti-bacterial, mild stimulant, liver protective, lung astringent, anti-depressant, antioxidant, and cardiac tonic.

Peppermint (5 mg)

Benefits: Stomach calming, relaxant, pain relief.
Description: Peppermint leaves and tops are used as herbal tea, extracts, oil, tannin, resin, gum, and as a flavoring agent. Like many spices and herbs, peppermint is believed to have medicinal properties when consumed. Peppermint calms the muscles of the stomach and strengthens the bowels. Peppermint tea may offer some relief for mild asthma attacks, lessening bronchial constriction and making it easier to breathe. The distinctive aroma of peppermint is also believed, via the olfactory system, to improve concentration, relieve headaches, and reduce mental fatigue. Topically, peppermint has been used for muscle and nerve pain and as an antiseptic. Peppermint is a cooling, relaxing herb that contains properties that help ease inflamed tissues, calm muscle spasms or cramps, and fight bacteria. Peppermint is an effective relaxant and can be helpful in treating nervous insomnia, stress, anxiety, and restlessness.

Yerba Mate (25 mg)

Benefits: Stress reduction
Description: Produced from the dry leaves of Paraguayan holly and noted for its good taste and nutritious value. Also present are significant levels of potassium, sodium, and magnesium, as well as, vitamins A, B-1, B-2, riboflavin, carotene, colin, pantothenic acid, inositol and 15 types of amino acids. Stimulates physical and mental activities. Yerba Mate is a South American herb that has won many admirers all over the world; it is an invigorator of the mind and body, a natural stimulant devoid of side effects and toxicity, and a natural source of nutrition. Yerba Mate is used to boost immunity, cleanse and detoxify the blood, tone the nervous system, retard aging, combat fatigue, stimulate the mind, control the appetite, reduce the effects of debilitating disease, reduce stress, and eliminate insomnia. It is a common ingredient in household cures as well as tea.

Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract (5 mg)

Benefits: Nervous system support.
Action: Enhances permeability of the blood-brain barrier to specific neurotransmitter precursors of serotonin and dopamine. Description: Rhodiola rosea is effective for improving mood and mental performance while alleviating depression and fatigue. Its effects are attributed to its ability to optimize levels of the mood-modulating neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, triptophan, and noriepinephrine in the brain. Rhodiola rosea has been traditionally recognized for its ability to naturally increase the body's resistance to physical and emotional stress while maintaining homeostasis (metabolic balance) in the body. Research indicates that the active components of rhodiola rosea provide positive support for: (1) focus, attention span, concentration, memory, mental sharpness and other healthy cognitive functions, (2) mental and physical fatigue caused by emotional stress, (3) depressed mood and mild to moderate mood changes caused by everyday stress, (4) occasional nervousness, nervous tension and anxiety, and (5) reduced immune system response caused by physical and emotional stressors. Further laboratory analysis has shown that rhodiola rosea also enhances permeability of the blood-brain barrier to specific neurotransmitter precursors of serotonin and dopamine. Although the exact mechanism of action is not yet fully understood, clinical and laboratory research indicates that rhodiola rosea may help promote a healthy neurotransmitter balance and provide positive support for occasional nervousness, nervous tension, and anxiety as well as a depressed mood and mild to moderate mood changes caused by everyday stress.

VINPOCETINE (lesser periwinkle extract - 100 mcg)

Pronunciation: vin-poe-ce-teen
Benefits: Memory, cognition, concentration, and alertness enhancer.
Action: Brain blood flow and ATP production facilitation.
Description: Vinpocetine is a periwinkle plant extract that improves mental function by increasing blood flow to the brain and by increasing ATP (the body's cellular fuel) production in the brain. Studies suggest that it may significantly improve memory, focus and clarity of thinking. Clinical studies have found that vinpocetine provides several advantages for the human brain, including memory enhancement, increased cognitive performance, heightened concentration and overall alertness, and higher mental acuity and awareness. Vinpocetine increases the production of dopamine and noradrenaline, which contributes to the release of serotonin, thereby improving the utilization of neurotransmitters in the brain. This herb is also known for its use as an important component in herbal teas against nervousness and anxiety.
Contraindication: Vinpocetine should not be taken by pregnant or nursing women.
