Kanna Extract

Kanna is a succulent plant within the *Aizoaceae* family and has been used for its mood-enhancing properties by humans in South Africa since the Stone Age. *Sceletium tortuosum* based products include a wide variety of different extracts. LiftMode’s Kanna extract based products are produced with among the most potent and high-quality Kanna extracts available. Kanna extracts are reputed to produce tranquil, cheerful and motivated states of mind, in part by supporting healthy serotonin levels. Kanna extracts may also help to support cognitive function and help work through mild occasional cravings. – Boosts Mood – Reduces Stress – Promotes Tranquility CAUTION: We strongly discourage combining Kanna with psychiatric prescription medications, including SSRIs, antipsychotics, or MAOIs, or with any other prescription or over the counter medicines that may significantly affect serotonin levels or the cardiovascular system (such as cough suppressant and decongestant medicines). There is a possibility of interactions with such combinations.

Organic Gum Base
Organic Gum Base

Organic Gum Base

Gum base is what gives chewing gum its “chew.” It is made of a combination of food-grade polymers, waxes and softeners that give gum the texture desired by consumers and enable it to effectively deliver sweetness, flavor and various other benefits, including dental benefits. A polymer is a string of molecules (monomers) that usually contain carbon and hydrogen. Polymers are found naturally in the human body, animals, plants, and minerals. For example, DNA is a polymer, as are the proteins and starches in the foods we eat. In chewing gum, polymers are what provide gum with its basic elastic properties. Chewing gum may help reduce stress and boost memory. Chewing gum while performing tasks may help improve various aspects of brain function. Organic gum base has great mechanical strength, good barrier qualities, and antibacterial or germ resistance.

Xylitol
Xylitol

Xylitol

Xylitol is a natural compound that can be found in a variety of plants, vegetables and fruits, including strawberries, raspberries, plums, mushrooms, cauliflower, birch bark, corn husks, rice, oat, wheat husks, birch and beechwood. Xylitol has wide-spread usage as a natural sweetener for culinary practices. Xylitol has a sweetness that is similar to regular sugar; but contains up to 40% less calories and is generally known to not have any of the harmful effects of sugar. - Healthy Circulatory System - Promotes Healthy Teeth - Strengthens Bones

Glycine
Glycine

Glycine

Glycine is a naturally occurring precursor amino acid to glutathione. It can be found in naturally occurring sources of protein such as meat, dairy, and legumes. It is a powerful scavenging antioxidant that may help reduce oxidative stress inside cells and may help reduce age-related glutathione deficiency. Glycine supplementation has been found to increase tissue glutathione levels in some studies, while also supporting connective tissue and joint health. Other research has indicated that glycine may help improve mood and sleep quality, by increasing extracellular serotonin. Glycine may help boost glutathione levels, support healthy joints and reduce oxidative stress. Glycine may help promote relaxation for healthy stress management. Influx of calcium through the cell membrane is mediated by glycine-gated channel.

Natural Cinnamon Flavor
Natural Cinnamon Flavor

Natural Cinnamon Flavor

Extracts from the bark as well as leaves, flowers, fruits, and roots of the cinnamon tree. Cinnamon is high in antioxidants, which may help protect against disease, inflammation, and aging. Cinnamon may help improve insulin response, which may help your body regulate blood sugar levels. Cinnamon may help reduce overall cholesterol levels. Cinnamon may help soothe the stomach. Cinnamon may help improve gut health. Cinnamon may help improve dental hygiene. Cinnamon also contains potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which may help with blood pressure, heart rate, and skeletal health.

Food Grade Silica
Food Grade Silica

Food Grade Silica

Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is a naturally occurring compound made of silicon and oxygen. It has many uses. Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent and flow aid in powdered foods and supplements. It can also be used to preserve color and carry flavors and fragrances. Silicon dioxide is found in many plant foods, including barley, oats, wheat, rice, carrots, potatoes, green beans, apples, and bananas.

Sorbitan Monostearate
Sorbitan Monostearate

Sorbitan Monostearate

Sorbitan monostearate is used as an emulsifier, helps yeast retain moisture and extend its shelf life, prevents ice crystals and promotes emulsification, improves volume and texture, stabilizes the emulsion of fats and oils and keeps oil and water mixed together.
