Product Description

Valerian/Passion Flower complex with supporting nutrients
MyoCalm contains a complementary array of ingredients that stabilize
neuromuscular function and oppose the tendency toward excessive muscular
tension and spasms. Experimental and clinical studies suggest that magnesium
has a special role in opposing neuromuscular hyperexcitability, as its
insufficiency can lead to muscle cramping, nervous excitability, agitation,
irritability, restlessness, anxiety and anxious depression. Extracts of
valerian and passion flower provide a mild calming, antispasmodic sedation.
Valerian and passion flower are principal ingredients of numerous herbal
sedative compounds in the U.K. and Europe. They have been used empirically for
centuries as mild sedatives and provide an antispasmodic tension relief.
Research suggests that the valerenic acid content in Valeriana officinalis
interacts in vitro with GABA (gamma-amino-butyric acid) receptors, a critical
site for sedation in the brain. Valerian is a source of valepotriates and
valerenic acids, which calm the CNS and relax muscles.
