Chilled Out Relaxation Powder

Chilled Out can be taken anytime you feel stressed and want to relax. The formula is non-drowsy, so it’s appropriate during the day if you feel tense or are having anxious thoughts. Evening is a popular time to take Chilled Out as well, so you can unwind from a hectic day. Mix Chilled Out into water or a glass of herbal tea (we recommend Chamomile), stream your favorite show, and relax into the couch carefree. We’ve also found that taking Chilled Out in combination with our sleep gummies before bed can help you feel calm the next morning. Say goodbye to those Scary Sundays and wake up Monday morning less stressed and ready to take on the week.

Magnesium is an essential mineral for the human body used in over 300 metabolic interactions. Unfortunately, magnesium is easily excreted from the body through urine and sweat. Regular intake of magnesium in the diet or with supplements is essential for optimal health. Without magnesium our bodies simply don’t function correctly.

One of the main job of magnesium is to allow muscles to relax. Without it we can feel tense and tight, like we have knots all over our bodies. Many women notice tension in their necks, back or abdomens when magnesium deficient. We already deal with cramping during our periods, and magnesium deficiency can make things worse. Chilled Out provides 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of magnesium for adult women.

Ok, let’s pause our modesty for a moment and talk plainly about pooping. We’ve all felt backed up from time to time. Magnesium supplements are often used to help get things movin’. Magnesium can soften stool and draw water into the intestines, which allows for stool motility through the digestive tract.

Women that are magnesium deficient may sometimes notice that the first few times they take a magnesium supplement things get moving fairly fast…maybe even a little too quickly for some women. It isn’t dangerous, and often your body won’t react this way after a few days of supplementation, but you may want to be close to a bathroom when you take Chilled Out for the first time. We recommend starting slow with Chilled Out if you’re concerned about this – start with a half scoop to see how your tummy reacts, then gradually increase to a full dosage of the next few days.

Magnesium itself is the same in all supplements, but straight elemental magnesium isn’t found in supplements. Magnesium needs to be bound to something else for it to be absorbed properly in the digestive tract. There are lots of things magnesium can be bound to – some good, some not so good. Carbon (as Magnesium Carbonate) is a popular binding agent, but it’s considered a poor, cheap form of the supplement with low absorbability. Other binding agents like Glycine (as Magnesium Glycinate) may be absorbable, but frankly tastes like rotten fish and wouldn’t be enjoyable in a drink mix.

Chilled Out uses two highly absorbable forms of Magnesium as Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Gluconate. Not only do these forms allow high percentages of magnesium to be absorbed into the body, they also have a pleasant, neutral taste in powder form. We chose these two forms of magnesium to be effective and enjoyable so you will look forward to taking Chilled Out instead of pinching your nostrils and gagging as it goes down.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen with some amazing benefits. First, let’s get on the same page about what an adaptogen actually is – adaptogens are in a class by themselves for herbal extracts. They have an amazing property of balancing and supporting multiple bodily systems (for example, the Nervous or Hormonal Systems). Whether your body is high or low in a given area an adaptogen can help restore homeostasis.

Although adaptogens work on multiple systems in the body, they are most famous for helping control stress. There are two common stages of stress that women face today. First, when a stressful situation occurs, the body releases too much of the “fight or flight” hormones cortisol and adrenaline, and you can feel shaky, anxious and on edge. Adaptogens can help control too much of these hormones from being released and reduce the feelings of being stress out. Next, after too many of these “fight or flight” situations occur on a long term basis, your body’s adrenal glands – which are responsible for producing cortisol and adrenaline – can become fatigued and unable to keep up. The longer chronic stress is experienced, the worse Adrenal Fatigue becomes. Adaptogens like Ashwagandha support rebuilding and restoration of your adrenal glands to counteract chronic stress.

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that was discovered in green tea. When drinking green tea people noticed that it didn’t cause the same jitters from caffeine as coffee and figured out that L-Theanine was the reason. L-Theanine counters the overstimulating effects of caffeine for a more smooth feeling of energy.

L-Theanine can be used alone as a supplement and has been found to have some pretty amazing benefits. Most notably, L-Theanine can help you feel “wakeful mental relaxation”. That almost sounds like an oxymoron, but basically L-Theanine allows you to feel mentally calm and alert without the “static” of frazzled thoughts in your head.

In herbalism, there are many different strengths of calming extracts. Some are powerful and act as a sedative, while others are mild yet effective. Both Lemon Balm and Passionflower are gentle herbs that help with mental and emotional overstimulation and are physically relaxing as well, without knocking you out like stronger herbs.

Both herbs are perfect for Chilled Out in combination with Magnesium, Ashwagandha and the other nutrients in the formula. We wanted to help you feel chill without producing drowsiness.
