Also known as the Chinese/Korean/Indian Date, Jujube is a fruit that has been used for centuries for its beneficial effects on gastrointestinal health, mood enhancement, and pain (discomfort) reduction. Jujube may also boost immunity and improve cardiovascular health due to its high concentration of unique polyphenols and saponins with anti-inflammatory properties.

Jujube is one of the main active ingredients in BetaPrime® because it is able to help reduce the side effects from beta alanine supplementation (i.e. tingling, flushing, and burning sensations on the face and neck).

An amino acid found naturally in tea leaves and certain mushrooms that promotes a relaxed state without causing drowsiness. Studies have reported L-theanine supplementation can reduce stress and anxiety, improve cognitive function (e.g. memory, attention, alertness) and enhance emotional well-being.

Unlike many dietary supplements, L-theanine crosses the blood-brain barrier and promotes an increase in alpha brain waves that help increase creativity and improve mood. Like Jujube, L-theanine has a multitude of benefits and is a key ingredient in BetaPrime® in improving overall effectiveness.

Referred to in Ayurvedic medicine as “the elixir of life”, this wild shrub is native to India and Southeast Asia. Over the last 10 years, several human studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of Celastrus supplementation on cognitive function, mood, working memory, self-reported anxiety, and attention.

In addition, the neuroprotective and antioxidant properties of Celastrus suggest that this ingredient (via its bioactives) has a wide range of therapeutic applications such as stress support and nervousness.
