AETHER
A natural supplement for anti depression and boosting a positive mood
Depression and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the current first-line treatment for depression, but they have pronounced limitations.
Traditional Chinese medicine can serve as a safe and effective alternative to conventional drugs, particularly since many herbal remedies have already been approved for human use as food additives, making the transition from bench to bedside more efficient. We previously demonstrated that a novel herbal treatment (NHT) induces anxiolyticand antidepressant-like effects.
Each package contains: 60 vegicaps.
Recommended use: 2 caps twice a day

Description
Depression and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent.
World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4.4% of the global population suffers from depressive disorder and 3.6%
from an anxiety disorder, making them some of the leading causes of global disability and socioeconomic burden.
This issue was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a recent study suggests that the psychological footprint of COVID-19 will likely be more substantial than its medical footprint.
The development of mood disorders creates a burden that will impede national social and economic recovery even after the pandemic ends.
Depression and anxiety are likely to cooccur and share many symptoms and genetic factors. Despite the availability of a wide range of drugs for treating depression and anxiety, most patients fail to achieve complete and sustained remission. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the current first-line treatment for depression and anxiety, but they have pronounced limitations. Notably, they have low success rates, and delayed onset, and are associated with various side effects including sexual dysfunction and weight changes.
These adverse side effects lead to a high percentage of patients who discontinue treatment. Therefore, there is a great need for a novel antidepressant treatment that has minimal side effects. (information source)
AETHER Ingredients
American Skullcap (Scutellaria)
Scutellaria lateriflora is commonly known as American skullcap. For over 200 years this plant has been traditionally used to treat insomnia, anxiety, and to promote a healthy menstrual cycle. Phytochemical analysis of this plant has revealed the presence of flavonoids, volatile oils, iridoids, diterpenoids, waxes, and tannins. Biomedical studies have shown promise with anxiolytic properties of S. lateriflora compounds that promises a market for value-added products. (information source)

American false-hellebore/ American valerian (Cypripedium)
Lady's slipper is a wildflower in the orchid family (Orchidaceae). Yellow lady's slipper (Cypripedium calceolus), named American valerian after Indian valerian (Valeriana wallichii), which comes from India, shares similar medical properties with pink lady's slipper. Once commonly used to treat various nervous disorders, it is a mild stimulant and is antispasmodic. Lady's slipper has been described in the folklore as a stimulant and a sedative, and no reports are currently available to confirm these opposite proposed actions. (information source)

L- Theanin
L-theanine is a compound that occurs naturally in green tea and black tea, and it is also available in supplement form. Research suggests that L-theanine might provide a range of health benefits, which may include improved mental focus and better sleep quality. L-theanine is an amino acid.
The human body does not produce this compound, and it is not essential for humans. Green tea, black tea, and certain types of mushroom naturally contain L-theanine. L-theanine may affect the levels of certain chemicals in the brain. These include serotonin and dopamine, which influence mood, sleep, and emotion, and cortisol, which helps the body deal with stress. A change in the balance of these chemicals can change a person’s mood or stress levels.
The benefits of L-Theanine are:
● Better mental focus
● Improved sleep
● Relaxation
● Increased cognitive performance
● Weight loss
● Boosting the immune system
● Reducing blood pressure
● Supporting certain cancer drugs

Hawthorn- Cratageus
hawthorn (Crataegus spp.), a deciduous branched shrub/small tree that is twisted and thorny, belonging to the Rosaceae family and Maloideae sub-family.
Hawthorn is present worldwide with about 280 species, among which the most common are: C. monogyna, C. laevigata, C. mexicana and C. douglasii, grown in Europe, North Africa, West Asia, and North America.
The scientific name of hawthorn comes from the Greek word “kràtaigos” which means “strength and robustness” due to its hard and durable wood. This wild plant has been used as a traditional medicine, herbal drug, and food supplement for centuries.
According to the holistic and traditional approach, hawthorn leaves and flowers are used to prepare infusions that can be used to control palpitations, tachycardia, and nervousness.
Away from meals, hawthorn has been used against hypertension and, before sleeping, for its relaxing and sedative actions. The berries promote cardiovascular health, protecting from angina, hypertension, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, myocarditis, arteriosclerosis, insomnia, and anxiety. Moreover, the berries are astringents and diuretics, and can act against diarrhea, urinary retention, and intestinal cramps. (information source)

Magnesium L-Threonate
Magnesium’s beneficial effects on mood and stress are so well-known that the mineral has nicknames like “the original chill pill” and “nature’s valium.” In addition to anxiety, low magnesium levels have been linked with:
-
Higher levels of stress
-
Depression
-
Insomnia or sleep disturbances
-
Headaches or muscle pain/tightness
-
Fatigue
Magnesium plays two important roles in the brain, which may contribute to these symptoms: o It blocks the activity of more stimulating neurotransmitters and binds to calming receptors, resulting in a more peaceful, resting state. o It helps to regulate the release of stress hormones like cortisol, acting like the brake on your body’s nervous system.
