Share With Others!

Mental wellbeing is a pillar of health and wellness. With our hectic lifestyles, prioritizing your mental health can fall on the back burner. Taking steps to boost your mental health should start with modifying lifestyle habits. Along with these lifestyle changes, certain supplements formulated with ingredients to support aspects of mental wellbeing, such as mood, focus, and a sense of calmness, can help you achieve these goals.

GNC’s scientists recognized sleep, stress, and focus and memory are key elements supporting mental wellbeing. We formulated brand new, nature-inspired, Preventive Nutrition supplements to support these goals. Whether you need all three, or just one, we’ve got you covered for additional support for everyday life.  Here is what we created for you!

1. Sleep Support
2. Stress Relief
3. Focus & Memory

GNC’s Preventive Nutrition® Mental Wellbeing Products provide unique benefits.

How Do They Stack Up Against Other Products on The Market

Sleep Support

Getting the recommended seven hours of sleep per night for your body to rest and reset is only being met by 1/3 Americans [1]. Yikes! There are plenty of sleep hygiene tips to incorporate into our routines, but it might not be enough to find restful sleep. If you are still in need of some extra sleep support, a supplement might be right for you. A wide variety of sleep support products are on the market for you to choose from. We created a nature-inspired sleep solution to add to your sleep routine.

What makes our formula different from standard sleep support supplements is a melatonin-free formula and two clinically studied ingredients. Shoden Ashwagandha Extract contains both the root and leaf of the traditional plant known for its ancient remedies for over 3,000 years. Shoden Ashwagandha has been clinically studied and shown to help you wake up feeling refreshed and restored [2]. Along with Shoden Ashwagandha, SleepRoot is a deodorized Valerian root (which removed the foul odor) and promotes restful sleep. These nature-inspired ingredients combined with some sleep hygiene may help you find those Z’s with a little more ease.

Stress Relief

Just like sleep, stress impacts every system of our body. Adopting habits to manage stress might not be enough for everyone and specific ingredients have been shown to help with relaxation and calmness. Our newest formulated Preventative Nutrition Stress Relief supplement provides ingredients with calming benefits, mood balance, and helps you cope with everyday stressors. A clinically studied extract from red grape, CogniGrape, has been shown to enhance mood balance and improve cognitive health [3]. Along with traditional herbs like ashwagandha and holy basil used to manage everyday stress and promote calming benefits, you’ll be feeling the extra support for a balanced mood.

Focus & Memory

Lack of sleep and daily stress might have you reaching for something to help you focus during the afternoon slump. If caffeine is your guilty pleasure and you’re seeking an alternative caffeine-free cognitive boost, the Preventative Nutrition Focus & Memory is just what you need. Our product is the first to feature a brand new clinically studied ingredient: Nutricog. Nutricog is a blend of Terminalia chebula and Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense) extracts shown to improve cognitive function, focus, and memory [4]. You’ll also get enhanced cognitive function and mental performance and improved response to cognitive demands with Cereboost [5].

Mental Wellbeing Lifestyle Tips

• Eat a well balanced diet. Choose foods rich in nutrients, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants to help your body function properly.
• Exercise often. Exercise benefits every system of our body – finding daily movement supports higher quality sleep, releases those feel-good hormones, and boosts your mood and self-esteem. You can even find exercises to challenge your brain to help improve your memory.
• Practice mindfulness. Practicing meditation and deep breathing can help promote a sense of calmness.
• Establish a bedtime routine. Incorporating a bedtime routine can help you reach the 7 hours of sleep – turn off technology at least 1 hour before bedtime, stop drinking caffeine 6 hours before bedtime, and try to go to bed at the same time each night.
