Sceletium 60 capsules 100mg

This plant has been used by hunter-gatherers and shepherds as a mood enhancing substance for millennia, and is far more effective and rapid-acting than the well-know European plant Hypericum (St Johns Wort).

Uses:

• Low mood, winter-blues, mood swings
• Anxiety, stress, nervous tension
• Hot flushes and irritability in menopause
• Alcoholic rehabilitation support
• Irritability in smoking-cessation
• Supports libido

Chemistry and Pharmacology:
The active constituents of the plant are mesembrine-alkaloids along with the closely related compounds of mesembrenone, mesembrenol and tortuosamine, which have been demonstrated by the National Institute of Mental Health (USA) to act positively on serotonin, nor-adrenaline, nicotine and dopamine receptor-sites in the brain.

Suggested Dosage:
1 capsule twice daily or as directed by a health practioner.

Sceletium-relax is pure pressed Sceletium tortuosum in tablet form.
Sceletium tortuosum, also called Canna or Kougoed,  is a rare succulent from the Mesembryanthemum family and is distributed in certain semi-desert areas of Southern Africa. It is highly regarded and sought after by both the Khoikhoi and the San (bushmen) people who have used this plant as a mood enhancer for centuries. Also the Dutch and English settlers were aware of the moodlifting properties of Sceletium.

Sceletium elevates mood and decreases anxiety, stress and tension. It also helps with post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia, irritability and can boost libido.
