You don't get that heavy groggy sensation or that morning after hangover effect. Made with pure organic Mulungu, Lemon Balm (Toronjil), damiana, graviola and passionflower herbal extract.

Damiana is a small shrub that has been traditionally used as a tonic for relaxation and sleep in Central and South America. Spanish missionaries first reported that the Mexican Indians made a drink from damiana leaves for relaxation. The British Herbal Pharmacopeia cites indications for the use of damiana for "anxiety neurosis and depression".
Graviola is a small rainforest tree that has been traditionally used in the Amazon basin as an anti depressive remedy and as a sedative. Although this plant has been primarily studied for its anti tumor properties one study with rats has been done on stress related function and did show an increase in dopamine as well as an inhibition of serotonin release in stress-induced rats. 1
Mulungu is a medium-sized tree that grows in Peru and Brazil. Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest have for centuries used the bark of mulungu as a natural sedative, to reduce anxiety and promote restful sleep. The traditional use of mulungu for anxiety and stress was confirmed by researchers in a 2002 study. The researchers stated that mulungu extract had an effect similar to the commonly-prescribed anti-anxiety drug diazepam. 1

Passionflower is a woody vine that grows in Peru and Brazil. Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest have for centuries used passionflower leaves as a nerve tonic and to reduce stress associated with “hot” personalities also prone to high blood pressure. The blood pressure lowering effects of passionflower has been scientifically validated in a study in the early 1980’s.1
