Overcoming Burnout

The afternoon crash is considered a natural part of life, from the entrepreneur reaching for their fourth cup of coffee to squeeze out a little more work to a siesta on a warm afternoon in Spain. It is intwined with our culture. But why? It’s ultimately related to our biology.

Our bodies are an incredible wellspring of wisdom and magic. There are many intelligent systems running at all times, keeping us healthy—a work of pure genius. When we sleep, we refuel our reserves of neurotransmitters, hormones, and much more, and then throughout the day we metabolize them. When we are running low on reserves, our ability to focus becomes a challenge and our motivation drops. This is also why dessert is so tempting in the evening.

So how do we overcome the crash?

Precursors

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers; they are the way the body communicates with our consciousness with simple commands like "do more of this or do less of that". The creation of neurotransmitters requires specific building blocks; these are called precursors. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin. Serotonin is a calming, peaceful chemical that provides a gentle lift in mood. It helps to replenish our serotonin reserves if we are depleted and increase the effectiveness of the other ingredients within the Calm + Focus Mushroom Gummies, such as St. John’s Wort and L-Theanine.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential vitamin that plays an important role in various bodily functions. Niacin is a precursor to NAD, which is essential for various metabolic processes in the body, including energy production, DNA repair, and the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. These neurotransmitters help us regulate our mood, increase our ability to focus, and even alleviate symptoms associated with depression and anxiety.

Metabolic Minerals

Magnesium is another essential mineral that plays a vital role in thousands of bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, protein synthesis, and energy metabolism. It is also involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. If we are deficient in magnesium, we are more likely to "chemically fatigue" and the ability for our awareness to flow is impaired. The addition in this formula helps to resupply the body and acts as fuel for many of the other ingredients to work efficiently.

We have specifically designed the Calm + Focus Gummies to give you a clean boost in energy while simultaneously increasing your reserves rather than depleting them like many stimulants. When we have all the right ingredients in our brains, all the organic processes can be performed efficiently, and our energy levels and attention are of higher quality.
