RLX-complex

Vitaplex RLX-complex combines various calming micronutrients and is completed with a small dose of melatonin. RLX-complex is developed for relaxation and sleep promotion. It contains the neurotransmitters GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and L-theanine as well as the essential amino acid 5-HTP.

GABA is the most important calming neurotransmitter in the human central nervous system. In addition to GABA, magnesium taurate (a molecular complex containing both magnesium and taurine) is added to the formula. Magnesium and taurine stimulate the receptor for GABA, while magnesium also restrains the excitatory NMDA-receptor.

5-hydroxytryptophan is the precursor of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is, among others, responsible for our general wellbeing as well as our satisfaction. When further metabolized, serotonin is converted into melatonin, our sleep hormone. To convert 5-HTP to serotonin and serotonin to melatonin, vitamin B6, among other substances, is needed.

L-theanine from green tea is an amino acid that resembles L-glutamine and gives tea its typical flavor. L-theanine is resorbed easily and is said to have a calming effect.
