L-theanine is a special amino extracted from Green Tea, and much-loved by our Naturopaths. L-theanine supports your ‘chill and focus’ brain chemicals, making it ideal as a relaxation supporting reward at the end of a hectic day. It supports your body switching into relaxation-mode so can switch off from your busy day and relax for the evening.
Kava is a favourite herb among HealthPost Naturopaths and Herbalists – it’s one of the most calming herbs and you can take it as needed to support relaxation – great for those ‘need to relax right now’ moments. Spray under your tongue and breathe a sigh of relief as you wind-down from your day. Ashwagandha pairs well with Kava, it’s awesome to support stress resilience and sleep quality too. This is a liquid herb, so it does have a herbal taste, but with berry-mint flavour.
