It's hard to find an antidote to today's overstressed world. The encouraging news is that lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), a perennial herb in the mint family native to the Mediterranean region, has been scientifically validated to help promote sleep and relaxation. What's more, lemon balm produces these calming effects while also enhancing memory and attention!

Cyracos® lemon balm extract is prepared from special lemon balm chosen for its high concentrations of hydroxycinnamic and rosmarinic acids. These active lemon balm constituents appear to enhance mood by modulating specific nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in the cerebral cortex of the brain.

Aside from relieving everyday stress and promoting restful sleep, this botanical extract may also offer smokers relief from the mental stress of quitting, aid in supporting healthy mood, and helps inhibit the emotional hunger associated with dieting (or following a calorie restriction regimen).

Relaxation-Promoting Effects of L-Theanine

The Japanese have long known that L-theanine, an amino acid derived from green tea, is a relaxant that helps inhibit stress.

L-theanine produces calming effects in the brain in ways that have been compared to meditation, massage, and aromatherapy. L-theanine induces relaxation. In fact, studies show that L-theanine enhances the brain's ability to concentrate, learn, and remember. L-theanine increases GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that not only induces relaxation but also produces a sense of well-being. L-theanine helps maintain healthy levels of dopamine, a critical brain hormone that is depleted by age-related stress factors.

A Host of Health-Enhancing Benefits

Research shows that L-theanine has numerous health-enhancing effects, including promoting healthy cognitive function. In studies of neurons in cell culture, L-theanine has shown to inhibit glutamate- or other neurotoxicant-induced neurotoxicity, a major effect of normal brain aging.

Based on an enormous amount of published data showing the multiple beneficial effects of lemon balm extract and L-theanine, Life Extension has combined these potent nutrients into a formula called Enhanced Stress Relief.

Note that the amount of L-theanine in this product is double that of most L-theanine standalone supplements. The reason for this potency increase is reports of greater benefit when at least 200 mg of L-theanine is taken.

Beware of Imitations: The L-theanine used in Enhanced Stress Relief is Suntheanine®, the only pure form of L-theanine protected by 40 U.S. and international patents. Independent laboratory analysis has verified that certain other products on the market claiming to contain "L-theanine" are only half L-theanine, the other half being a different form of theanine known as "D-theanine" which has not been scientifically evaluated in published studies.

Access a healthy and high-performance state called heart coherence, where your heart and brain are in sync — this helps you prevent or reduce stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, improve health and performance, and clear your thinking for more effective choices.

Use real-time heart rhythm coherence biofeedback and evidence-based techniques to live a healthier, happier life.

Learn to elevate your emotional state in the moment and become aware of and release accumulated stress so you feel better and think more clearly.

Backed by 30 years of pioneering heart-brain research, the Inner Balance Coherence Plus measures and translates your heart rhythm patterns (HRV) into real-time coherence scores.

This trains you to get your heart and brain in sync, which prevents and reduces stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, improves health and performance, and clears your thinking for more effective choices.

With just a few minutes of daily practice, heart coherence becomes easily accessible for more balanced, effective, and healthy living. Over time, you’ll be equipped with a skill set that you can apply, even without the app, in all aspects of your life.

Connects to your device via state-of-the-art Bluetooth or USB-C cable. Compatible with all HeartMath apps.

BLUETOOTH COMPATIBILITY*  Requires Bluetooth 4.0 or higher

ANDROID:  This product is designed for use with Android v9.0 and above.

IOS: Requires iOS 16.0 or above; works with iPhone 6s and iPad OS 15 generation and newer.

How the Inner Balance Coherence Plus Sensor Works

HRV biofeedback to decode the language of your heart. 

The Inner Balance Coherence Plus uses professional-grade photodetectors to measure your pulse wave 500 times a second. This data is then translated into highly accurate HRV, which reflects how your heart rate changes over time. HRV offers a powerful window into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how we feel and perform.
Our proprietary algorithm then translates your heart rate data and HRV patterns into a real-time score that updates every 5 seconds.

This measurement helps you understand which thoughts, emotions, attitudes, or techniques increase or decrease your heart coherence — so you can train yourself to access this highly beneficial state.

Evidence-Based Benefits of Heart-Brain Coherence

REDUCES STRESS & ANXIETY: Coherence helps regulate the stress response, reducing the effects of chronic stress and anxiety on the body and mind.

IMPROVES EMOTIONAL REGULATION: Achieving coherence supports the ability to manage emotions effectively, promoting emotional stability and resilience in the face of challenges.

ENHANCES COGNITIVE FUNCTION: Coherent states are associated with improved mental clarity, focus, decision-making, creativity, and innovation.

INCREASES RESILIENCE: Coherence training builds resilience to stressors, helping individuals adapt and recover more quickly from challenging situations.

IMPROVES PHYSICAL HEALTH: Coherent states have been linked to a more efficient cardiovascular system, reduced inflammation, and enhanced hormonal balance and immune function, all of which contribute to overall health and well-being.

OPTIMIZES PHYSICAL AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE: Coherence has been shown to improve endurance, sensory-motor integration, reaction times, and access to flow states.

ENHANCES PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND SELF-REGULATION: Practicing coherence can lead to an increased sense of inner peace, more effective emotional self-management and lower reactivity, positively impacting psychological health.

CREATE HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIPS: Being in coherence helps us listen more deeply and communicate more effectively, bringing more care and kindness to our relationships.
