When stress pressures start to rev up, numerous systems in your body start to respond. This heightened rate of metabolic demand naturally produces more inflammatory trash as a byproduct. Like a power boat speeding through the water, the wake (inflammatory trash) is based on how fast you are going. If you are already low on energy then your power boat is already sputtering. In this case, your engines can pour out a lot of black smoke even though you are not going very fast. Too much inflammatory trash along with too little ATP is a recipe for mood stress.

Your body seeks to buffer these demands by making extra cortisol, produced by your adrenal glands. Cortisol is like oil in a car engine; the faster you go the more you need so that your engine does not overheat.

The nutrients in Stress Helper^® (pantethine, acetyl-l-carnitine, and carnosine) are designed to offset the burden of stress on your nerves, as well as facilitating a higher level of energy production. The dual role these specialty nutrients play can dramatically help to offset wear-and-tear and reduce mental friction.*

Pantethine directly supports the function of your adrenal glands, helping you to naturally produce cortisol as needed. At the same time, pantethine produces Co-Enzyme A (CoA), an essential molecule that helps your body metabolize fats and carbohydrates to produce energy (ATP). Pantethine also assists the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a nerve compound that significantly helps mood and relieves the feeling of wear-and-tear.*

Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps improve the energetic function of brain cells, supporting the flow of all neurotransmitters and acting as a nerve antioxidant to help buffer stress. It has been shown to promote the natural process of new nerve fiber growth. It has been well-studied for its beneficial effects on memory and mental task performance. It directly helps cells make energy by enhancing how cells use oxygen to burn calories.*

Carnosine is a powerful protector of nerves from friction. It is one of the very best anti-irritation nutrients known. It has a general anti-aging function on numerous systems in your body, especially nerves.*
