Three of the ingredients that are essential to Neuro's formula are GABA, which is said to "take your whole nervous system down a notch," Vitamin D3 and L-theanine, an [amino acid in green tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudl) that helps to take the side effects out of caffeine. With a patented cold-compression method, Neuro combines its high-quality, all-natural ingredients to enhance their bioavailability and improve absorption. Notably, the formula is gluten-free, sugar-free, aspartame-free, dairy-free and vegan-friendly. The Calm & Clarity mints are available in flavors like Honey Lemon and Ginger Chai, and can also be purchased in the form of chewing gum that's just as supportive of a clear mind.
