Stress and irritability are major triggers for smoking relapse. Nicotine artificially stimulates dopamine and GABA, creating temporary calm. Without nicotine, the body struggles to manage stress naturally.
How Chill and Relax Helps:
- L-Theanine: Promotes relaxation by increasing alpha brain waves and balancing GABA levels, reducing stress without drowsiness. (Kimura, K., et al., 2007)
- 5-HTP: A precursor to serotonin, 5-HTP supports mood stabilization, helping reduce irritability and cravings caused by nicotine withdrawal. (Birdsall, 1998)
- DHA (Omega-3): Known for its role in brain health, DHA reduces inflammation and supports emotional stability during stressful periods. (Appleton, K. M., et al., 2006)
Suggested Product: Chill and Relax provides natural stress relief, making it easier to manage the emotional challenges of quitting smoking.
