Premium ingredients have swiftly filled the sports nutrition industry, with reputable ingredient houses doing a great job bringing worthwhile innovations to the forefront and making it easier for brands to utilize them in products. Nutrition21 is the company responsible for a host of ingredients in supplements that consumers will be familiar with, like the pump-powering Nitrosigine, Velositol to double the power of your protein, the gaming specific NooLVL, and the superior chromium, Chromax.
Nutrition21 has unveiled EverZen, a novel functional ingredient standardized to contain 6-methoxy-2-benzoxazolinone, or 6-MBOA for short, a bioactive compound extracted from young non-GMO corn leaves. The patent-pending ingredient works through a dual-action approach to ease the mind and balance the body, promoting many crucial areas of health and wellness. With a light dose of 250mg and neutral, EverZen can fit nicely into powders, capsules, gummies, and chewables.
EverZen’s unique mechanism of action involves boosting the production of key neurochemicals that facilitate a positive mood and enhancing brain receptors to promote relaxation. This process helps stabilize cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone. Backed by two clinical studies, EverZen has demonstrated promising benefits, including improved mood, better stress balance, a healthy stress response, effects on relaxation and calming, and support for occasional anxiety.

The effects of the proven EverZen put it right in the crosshairs of categories like stress, relaxation, nighttime, muscle builders for its cortisol benefits, and even daily general health products.
