How Cellular Calm Complex prevents the ageing effects of stress
In this increasingly-busy world,many of us suffer from ongoing stress, due to the fact we never seem to switch off
Chronic stress leads to increased levels of the stress hormones, which can trigger a multitude of biological responses in the body to accelerate the ageing processes at a cellular level. In fact, ongoing stress can lead to shorter telomeres which are a marker of biological ageing.
What are the side effects of stress on the body?
Stress hormones impact total wellbeing and not just the mind and the effects of stress can trigger a multitude of physical effects including.
- Restricted breathing
- Panic attacks and palpitations
- Head aches and muscle spasms
- Fatigue and irritability
- Chest pains and high blood pressure
- Over eating or the loss of appetite
- Changes to the menstrual cycle
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Inflamed skin with rashes or breakouts
- Poor digestion with gas and bloating
- Increased perspiration
- Feeling sick or faint
The good news is that a reduction in stress can allow the body to recover as the impaired physiological processes willreturn to normal.
Cellular Calm Complex has been formulated to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and stress from within. This unique combination of ingredients brings peace to the mind and supports cellular health, while helping to reduce your biological age.
Discover how the ingredients in Cellular Calm Complex supports a healthy stress response:
L-Theanine
L-Theanine is fast acquiring celebrated status in the nootropic world and it’s not without good reason. A nootropic enhances the function of the brain, and this amino acid provides an abundance of benefits to help to support brain activity.
L-Theanine has an effect on nerve impulses in the brain and commands the release of neurotransmitters including gamma-aminobutyric acid, which influences the levels of the happy hormones, dopamine and serotonin. This activity imitates the brainwave patterns of when we are relaxed.
Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodiola Rosea enables the body to be more capable of dealing with stress. It’s a nootropic and an adaptogen, as it helps us to adapt and resist certain stressors. The herb grows in Asia and Eastern Europe and has been used in traditional medicine for many centuries. It contains over 40 chemical compounds with the two most notable being rosavin and salidroside.
Rhodiola Rosea helps to decrease the effect of sustained stress and increases our mental and physical tolerance to it. Studies suggest that this potent herb acts on opioid neuropeptides and beta endorphins to improve our tolerance of stress. The herb has a calming effect on the mind but doesn’t promote drowsiness. It can howeverlead to a more peaceful night’s sleep by calming the brain.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha has traditionally been known as an adaptogen, as it helps us our bodies to cope with physical and mental stress. It also actsas a nootropic to support memory and promote cognitive health. Not only does ashwagandha have great benefits for our brain it additionally supports telomere health by increasing the amount of the enzyme telomerase to promote more youthful telomeres.
Astaxanthin
Most antioxidants either work on the cell wall or on the inside of the cell. However, astaxanthin has the incredible ability to fight free radicals both in the cell wall and within the cell itself while supporting mitochondrial energy metabolism. This powerful antioxidant can cross the blood brain barrier to support emotional resilience, well-being and combat mental fatigue; thus, helping to protect against the effects of long-term stress. Astaxanthin plays a key role in safeguarding against DNA oxidation and conserving the telomeres to thwart cellular ageing
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential mineral which is required for more than 300 processes within the body including clarity and mind body balance. Magnesium has been shown to reduce stress levels and improve mental health.
Choline
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the brain, it’s essential for learning, memory, mood, and many other functions in the body. It’s vital to our cognitive health and nerve function. Acetylcholine signalling in the hippocampus regulates social stress resilience and anxiety. Without it, we don’t have the ability to move, think or sleep.
Acetylcholine levels decline as we age and although the body creates a small amount, we need to consume this ingredient in food instead. Those on a plant-based diet, will find it more difficult to get enough acetylcholine as it’s predominantly found in meat, eggs, fish.
As oestrogen helps to produce choline, perimenopausal and post-menopausal women may also be at risk of deficiency. Taking a supplement containing choline can help to boost your levels of acetylcholine.
B vitamins help to calm the nervous system:
Vitamin B6
Calms the nervous system by blocking certain impulses between nerve cells slowing down brain activity to reduce stress levels and anxiety.
Vitamin B5
B5 is known as the anti-stress vitamin, it oversees the production of the stress hormone cortisol when you're under chronic stress and regulates the wellbeing of the adrenal glands.
Vitamin B3
Vitamin B12 supports a healthy nervous system function and works to harmonise the production of cortisol.
Vitamin D3
Studies indicate that taking a vitamin D3 supplement for 7 days helps to reduce stress markers, and supports telomere length.
