Calm-PRT 120 Capsules

Calm-PRT by NeuroScience works to decrease stress by reducing elevated cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine levels. This product was designed with high-potency Rhodiola rosea and phosphatidylserine to be used in treatment of stress, anxiety and restlessness.

NeuroScience specifically formulated Calm-PRT with a combination of ingredients that are designed not only to relieve stress, but to restore communication within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

What is the HPA Axis?

The HPA, or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, consists of a complex set of interactions between two parts of the brain (hypothalamus and pituitary gland) and the adrenal glands, which are located atop the kidneys. The HPA axis regulates many things within the body, such as digestion, temperature, mood, immune function, energy and sexuality. The HPA axis also plays a major role in how the body reacts to stress. A poorly functioning HPA axis can result in a wide variety of disorders including bipolar disorder, clinical depression, irritable bowel syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and many anxiety disorders. Studies show that the HPA axis is activated in various different ways when people are exposed to stressful situations. It is because of its role in stress response that antidepressant medications are designed to regulate its function. Calm-PRT is designed to work much in the same way, but with more natural ingredients.

Active Ingredients in NeuroScience’s Calm-PRT

Rhodiola rosea: An extract of the adaptogen, Rhodiola rosea, was used in Calm-PRT because of its biologically-active rosavins. Rosavins are believed to be responsible for the antidepressant and anxiolytic actions of the Rhodiola rosea plant. In clinical trials, Rhodiola rosea has shown that it may be beneficial in managing moderate or mild depression and mental fatigue. NeuroScience uses methods of standardization in their production line to ensure that each capsule contains 16% rosavins, which are included for their anti-stress and fatigue fighting abilities.

SerinAid: Calm-PRT also contains SerinAid, which is a high-quality preparation of phosphatidylserine. As a major component of cell membranes, phosphatidylserine has been shown in studies to restore desensitized cortisol receptors inside the HPA axis. Phosphatidylserine is also being studied for its role in improving memory and cognition as well as treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Phosphatidylserine can be found in foods, but it is usually in very small quantities.

Glycine and taurine were both included for additional inhibitory neurotransmitter support.

Glycine: Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it’s one the body can produce, that is essential to maintaining a healthy central nervous and digestive system. Recently it has been studied for its antioxidant capabilities. In the body, glycine is used along with other amino acids to help create muscle tissue and convert glucose to energy.

Taurine: Some research suggests that the amino acid, taurine, can improve athletic performance. It is used by the body to support neurological function and it also helps regulate the level of mineral salts and water in the blood. Taurine is also believed to be a powerful antioxidant. It can be found in meat, fish and breast milk.
