For Kids – Gentle Support for Calm & Confidence

🌿 Magnesium Glycinate or Magnesium L-Threonate

Magnesium helps with focus, sleep, and muscle relaxation—without sedation. Glycinate is tummy-friendly, while L-Threonate is best for brain-based support.

🍵 L-Theanine

A calming amino acid found in green tea (but safe for kids!). It supports focus and eases tension without making your child sleepy.

🌼 Chamomile Extract or Glycerite

Gentle, soothing, and ideal for winding down before bed or calming after a long day. Chamomile supports relaxation and emotional balance.

🧠 Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA/EPA)

Essential for brain development and mood. Many kids today are deficient in these fatty acids, and supplementing can help improve focus and reduce emotional outbursts.

🌈 Vitamin B6

B6 plays a key role in creating neurotransmitters like serotonin. It’s particularly helpful for kids with mood swings, sensory challenges, or irritability.

💜 Amare Kids Happy Juice™

A kid-specific formula that supports gut-brain health with probiotics, prebiotics, and plant nutrients like Mango Leaf and Suntheanine®. It’s a fun, flavorful way to support emotional balance from the inside out.

🌟 Amare Kids Mood+®

A gentle herbal blend that supports your child’s natural mood regulation and helps them bounce back from emotional stress more easily.

😴 Amare Kids Calm™

A melatonin-free, vitamin-based gummy to help little bodies and minds ease into rest. A beautiful option for those who need sleep support without grogginess.


For Adults

🌸 Saffron

Yes—this beautiful spice does more than flavor paella! Saffron has been shown to support mood, reduce anxiety, and even help with emotional resilience. A hidden gem in the world of nervous system health.

💪 Magnesium L-Threonate

This form of magnesium crosses the blood-brain barrier and can help with mental clarity, deep sleep, and stress recovery. Perfect for foggy days and wired nights.

🌿 Ashwagandha

An adaptogenic herb that helps regulate cortisol and support calm, grounded energy. A gentle yet powerful ally for stress management.

🧬 Phosphatidylserine (PS)

Supports memory, attention, and lowers stress hormones like cortisol. It’s especially useful during times of mental burnout or high pressure.

💧 GABA & GABA Precursors (L-Theanine, Taurine)

GABA is the nervous system’s “chill” neurotransmitter. Supplementing with GABA or its building blocks can help ease racing thoughts, reduce muscle tension, and promote better sleep.

☀️ Amare Happy Juice®

This adult version of Happy Juice blends MentaBiotics® and EDGE+™ to nourish your gut-brain axis, support positive mood, and promote focus and energy—naturally.

💛 Amare Mood+®

A botanical powerhouse featuring saffron and other mood-stabilizing herbs. It works with your body to balance neurotransmitters and improve emotional wellbeing.

🌙 Amare Sleep+®

A non-habit-forming sleep support that works with your natural serotonin and GABA levels to gently guide you into restful sleep.

Supplements aren’t magic pills—but when used thoughtfully and in partnership with whole foods, nervous system tools, and loving connection—they can help kids and adults feel safe, steady, and more like themselves.

💫 Whether you’re supporting your child through anxious seasons or navigating burnout yourself, there’s hope. The nervous system is beautifully designed to heal—and these gentle supports are here to walk with you on that journey.
