Brain Forza Lemon Balm R5 Extract Capsules - Standardized Extract 5% Rosmarinic Acid, 90 Capsules

I used to use the lemon balm tea a couple years ago from a different company. I was looking for something to help with test anxiety I was having at work. We do weekly testing and I just couldn't seem to "calm" down enough to focus. I did some research on this company's website and they have good reviews and on some of their other products also which I'd like to try. This stuff made me remember what I was missing. I have ALWAYS had a generalized level of anxiety, everyday, for no reason, but I have lived with it for so long, refusing to EVER take any type of medication because I don't like the idea of doing drugs to regulate something that isn't "life threatening" and I haven't had a panic attack in years so I figured I was "ok". Well, I have to say after taking just one, within 15-20 min I just felt "calm" or "normal". I haven't felt that feeling of just, calm awareness in years. Not numb, not a druggy feeling like you'd get from Benadryl for example, and not sleepy, which is important. I didn't actually experience any drowsiness with this product. I just felt like I could think more clearly without the physical uneasiness that has plagued me for years. I am in my 30s and I thought I was doing "good enough" without the panic attacks. But I am at a point in my life where that's just not acceptable anymore. I want to feel comfortable in social situations, I want to be able to sit face to face with my supervisor without my thoughts running in a million different directions before I realized, they asked me a question but I was too busy obsessing over how I would answer the question that I missed the question! My life and social mishaps can very well be summed up by the number of "Awkward Penguin" quotes. I can deal with my Introversion, but what I can't deal with is feeling like I am not taking chances, even the small ones. Meeting new people, and feeling "okay". Not like a different person. I am never going to be "life of the party" girl and that is OK. I just want to calm down enough to embrace ME. Me, only better. I don't feel numb or sad or spacey or any of that weird stuff. It's almost like, that little anxiety switch just turned down. I mean, it's been a couple years since I bought the tea and while I am thinking of investing in that also just to have it, these capsules are just really convenient and easy to take right before a meeting with your boss, or test or you just don't have time to brew time when you're flying out the door in the morning. I will definitely be repurchasing. It says to take 1 a day at first to assess your tolerance level before starting with 2. They are 500mg per capsule. I have taken 2 and felt fine but again, I have a pretty generalized anxiety level, it's not caused by particular "stressors" although it can definitely flare up and get worse but my anxiety is pretty much on a daily. Honestly, I didn't even realize how bad it was until I starting taking these. It's been about a week, I believe and I noticed the results pretty much immediately. Like I said everyone's tolerance level will be different. I can't really speak for depression, all I can say is my depression is off and on and most definitely the result of my anxiety, without the uneasiness inside, my depression usually subsides because I am not anxious and stressed about little things which is, well, depressing! I purchased this with my own hard earned money, I am leery about purchasing products with mostly Sponsored reviews. The question really comes down to, not just whether or not you would recommend something but would you buy it again? I would. I do like to write and I find myself able to concentrate enough now to entertain the idea of starting back again. There are parts of me I was just dismissing because I was so anxious about the future I couldn't enjoy the moment in front of me. The bottle does claim that it "May support focus, concentration and mood" I will definitely agree with this. I was in a bad slump, it's hard when you know you can do better and feel better but there's something inside you, that keeps letting you get in your own way, if that makes any sense? I have been telling everybody about this. This is the first brand of supplements I have tried for Lemon Balm Extract, I am told that Lemon Balm "Extract" is specifically what you want to look for as far as efficiency. I couldn't be more than happy with a product. I tried some other things on Amazon for concentration and mood and overall well being some of them had side effects, like I would get kind of sad? This is just easy, breezy, calm in a bottle for me.

Started taking this after a lot of research. I'm in the technology field and often give consultative presentations to large groups w/Q&A sessions. Always get a touch of the butterflies prior to a presentation. Colleagues take benzos to aid in their public speaking endeavors. I wanted to avoid taking any form of benzos (xanax, valium, etc.) Choosing the "holistic" approach, my path led me to Lemon Balm along with some other supplements (ashwaghanda, magnesium, etc). I can honestly say that these work. Not heavily sedating, but really take the edge of and gives me a "mild chill". I relax ever so slightly with no brain fog and can go about my business as usual. Good stuff. Side note: I am in no way, shape or form affiliated with this company. I paid full price and believe these are worth every penny. Cheers and stay healthy and safe.

Great for daytime test anxiety, general nervousness without causing drowsiness. However, I cannot recommend these for help with nighttime sleeplessness (body was relaxed, but mind was wide awake...all night.

I have tried everything to help my sleep without resorting to pharmaceuticals (which I do use on occasion, out of desperation). I figured this would be just one more failed try, but hoping against hope... And it actually allows me to sleep! I typically wake up during the night and with this, I can go back to sleep and get a full night's rest. I am amazed and grateful to have found it. It does take a little while to kick in for me, so I plan to try it as a tea and see if there is more rapid absorption that way but I am not complaining.

Ok, I've tried everything "natural" for my insomnia! You name it, I've tried it and so far nothing has worked. I won't do prescriptions and all the natural things I've tried just don't do a thing. Then I tried this one.. it actually has allowed me to sleep better and fall asleep sooner! I still wake up in the middle of the night, but fall right back asleep and actually feel more refreshed in the morning! I hope it continues to work for me.... so far I'm extremely impressed and plan on buying more.

I have tried various lemon balm tinctures for anxiety & to calm down in the evenings before bed & I must say this is the best or strongest lemon balm I've ever tried. Also I had a very good experience with The Brain Forza customer service as I had several questions about the process of how the extract was made answered immediately. I ordered another 6 bottles right away so I didn't run out. I empty 4-6 capsules in a cup of warm water & relaxation hits slowly within a half hour.

I love the supplement! I knew about lemon balm being beneficial to your health. I've been drinking tea, but you'd have to drink gallons of tea compared to the supplement.

Used on regular basis along with Passion Flower for sleep. Didn't cause a calm feeling or sleepiness. Didn't do anything. Tossed and turned all night. Don't bother.

This supplement is high quality and delivers great results. I feel more energized and healthier after taking it consistently. Easy to digest with no side effects. Highly recommend!

I added Brain Forza’s Lemon Balm Extract to my daily regimen, interested in its rosmarinic acid content, known for geroprotective properties. This component is important for cellular health and rejuvenation, particularly in the extracellular matrix. 1. Potential in Longevity: • Rosmarinic acid’s role in cellular regeneration aligns with my interest in longevity and anti-aging solutions. 2. Cognitive and Stress Management: • The calming effects of lemon balm, enhanced by rosmarinic acid, appear to support cognitive function and stress reduction. 3. Quality and Usage: • The product is easy to use with clear instructions, making it a convenient addition to my wellness routine. 4. Overall Impression: • For those exploring natural avenues in longevity and cognitive health, this supplement offers interesting potential.

I did some research on hyperthyroidism/Grave's Disease, and natural supplements that actually have had studies done on them, and I wanted to know HOW they worked. Lemon Balm (along with Motherwort & Bugleweed) was one of the natural herbs that help with hyperthyroidism. They've done test tube studies that show Lemon Balm prevents antibodies from attaching to the thyroid cells. Also blocks the brain signaling the thyroid to further stimulate an already active thyroid gland. It's great stuff! I know people generally use it as a sleeping aid, but I don't find it has made much difference by way of my sleep. I just know the science behind it helping thyroid health has me sold on it for that purpose.

This product is highly effective. I took it the first night when I went to bed and my dreams were so vivid and I woke up feeling so much more rested and calm and with a great mood. It is great because they standardized it to 5% Rosmarninic acid, and as such, it is super potent and great. I highly recommend it because not only will it make you sleep better and feel great the next morning, it makes you need less sleep to feel more rested since you get more quality sleep in less time. It is definitely an adaptogen.

I have finally collected all the bottles of supplements I ordered off amazon. Lemon balm B100 L Theanine 250 mg (i take one morning and night) Magnesium citrate 500mg All found in Melissa dream. In amounts slightly higher than what’s found in MD. I started off with Magnesium. Then added L Theanine. Then b100 and finally last night lemon balm I slept well. (Without it. I sleep 2-3 hours but in those few hours I’m restless as ever). I woke once. Middle of night. But was able to go back to sleep. Will definitely be ordering it again soon for back up stash. ((I do want to point out. It will cost you the same. In buying the supplements separately as it does to buy just Melissa dream. But I like that it’s more easily obtainable. Melissa dream from amazon always takes 5 days. To get here. It always comes from Ontario. They never have it in warehouse close to me 🤷‍♀️ These supplements I ordered all arrived in 3 days. I ordered Saturday afternoon. They arrive Sunday Monday. And Tuesday. Melissa wasn’t coming until Friday 🤷‍♀️
