- Mood & Stress Support - Contains a blend of ingredients important for mood and reducing stress. TravaGen has been used by those looking to gain peace of mind and slow down feelings of restlessness.*
- Gentler Support - Unlike TravaCor (our best-selling mood + calm support product), TravaGen does not contain 5-HTP. Instead, this product uses L-tryptophan to provide gentler, slower conversion to serotonin for those who are more sensitive.*
- Proven for Calm - In a randomized, double-blind study, L-theanine has been shown to significantly reduce stress.*
- Practitioner Trusted, Professional Grade - Trusted by thousands of healthcare professionals, NeuroScience formulates products exclusively on peer-reviewed studies. All products are USA manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility.
Key ingredients:
- L-tryptophan: An essential amino acid and precursor to serotonin and melatonin. L-tryptophan provides a gentler conversion to serotonin compared to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) as the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin is the conversion of L-tryptophan to 5-HTP (1). Serotonin is important for regulating mood and sleep-wake function (2).
- Taurine: Neuroprotective amino acid that provides antioxidant protection and demonstrates GABA-A agonist activity (3-5).* GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain important for calm and sleep (6-8).
- L-theanine: Amino acid that acts as a glutamate receptor antagonist (9).* Glutamatergic signaling plays a role in underlying mechanisms related to anxiousness and stress (10). In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, L-theanine was shown to significantly reduce stress (11).*
- Vitamins B and C: Active forms of vitamin B6, folate, B12, and C are important for serotonin synthesis (12-16).*
