5-HTP
5-HTP, or 5-Hydroxytryptophan, is a key amino acid in serotonin production. It's a biological step away from being serotonin itself, and when it enters the brain, it's thought to swiftly elevate brain serotonin. But that's not all. 5-HTP might enhance melatonin levels, often supressed by late-night screens and party lights.

Pyridoxine works synergistically with other ingredients in Bonbuz formulations to increase levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain.

GABA
GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, helps counteract neuronal over-excitation and is decreased during stress. Contrary to past belief that it couldn't cross the blood-brain barrier and was non-psychoactive, newer studies suggest GABA supplements can indirectly produce GABAergic effects in the brain.

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid analog responsible for the calming effects of green tea. Theanine works by blocking excitatory receptors in the brain while promoting neuronal growth and repair. Several studies have characterised theanine as a non-sedating and anxiety-reducing compound with nootropic qualities.
