General Description

Glucomedix Pitch Deck

Amantilla is an extract produced from the root of Valeriana officinalis, commonly known as valerian.  The valerian herb in Amantilla has been used medicinally for at least 2,000 years. It has been included in many editions of the United States Dispensatory (Merck) since 1849, which reported the herb's effect on the nervous system. It is very effective in treating stress and anxiety. For some, Amantilla can also be used to induce sleep.  GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), sometimes referred to as the body's natural tranquilizer is one of the amino acids produced in the brain. Valerian extracts like Amantilla stimulate GABA production in quantities sufficient to cause a sedative effect. Therefore, Amantilla may cause sedation by increasing the amount of GABA available in the synaptic clefts in the brain.

Patient Reports

"This product is incredible.  I was very stressed out and within 10 minutes after taking just 10 drops, I felt no stress at all.  It works great for my kids too.  It's great to know that I can give them something natural and safe that can calm them down in a few minutes." -I.M.

“Amantilla works well. I use 15 drops in a little water just before going to sleep and it really makes a big difference.” – L.A

“I take 10 drops of this straight under my tongue before bed and start feeling calmer and ready for sleep immediately. It's also great to take before eating so the body can process food on a less-stressed stomach, but I don't always remember to take advantage of that... I'm planning to keep two bottles-- one by my bed and one in my purse to fix that problem!” – L.C

"I thought that I was sleeping well until I took Amantilla, but now I sleep great!  I took 30 drops at bedtime and I slept great.  I did not wake up once during the night and I woke up feeling very refreshed and didn't need coffee to get going.  Whenever I take it I can sleep about 2 hours less than I normally do."-T.I
