The Ingredients
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub that grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. It has a long history of use in traditional ayurvedic medicine.
For hundreds of years, people have used the roots and orange-red fruit of ashwagandha for medicinal purposes. The herb is also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry. Practitioners use this herb as a general tonic to boost energy and reduce stress and anxiety.
Lemon balm extract
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is a member of the mint family. The herb is grown all over the world but it is native to Europe, West Asia and North Africa. The leaves of lemon balm have a mild, fragrant, lemon aroma.
Lemon balm has been used since the middle ages for its calming properties. Herbalists have used lemon balm for centuries to help to reduce stress, promote sleep, boost mood and aid relaxation.
The leaves can be used in tea or ground down to powder form, which is how we get it into fabÜ RELAX.
Chamomile extract
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a beautiful flowering plant from the daisy (Asteraceae) family. It is grown all over the world but is native to Europe and Western Asia. Chamomile has been used as a herbal remedy since 500 BC. The word ‘Chamomile’ is Greek for Earth apple (chamomile herb is sweet-smelling like an apple).
The chamomile extract used in fabÜ RELAX is German Chamomile which is considered to be the most potent chamomile. It is used in a wide variety of herbal supplements for its relaxing properties. It is taken orally to aid sleep and reduce stress.
L-theanine extract from green tea
L-Theanine is a unique amino acid. In the wild it is found almost exclusively in the tea plant. It is also naturally found in some mushrooms. Many supplements on the market use a synthetically derived L-Theanine which is much cheaper than the green tea version used in fabÜ RELAX.
It possesses neuroprotective, mood enhancing and relaxation properties. It can help to relieve stress and promote sleep.
Two capsules of fabÜ R&R RELAX gives you the benefits of the equivalent L-Theanine in two strong cups of pure green tea.
Magnesium citrate
It is well documented that magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Taking a magnesium supplement daily will help you wake up feeling refreshed and energised. It also contributes to normal muscle function thus helping with leg cramps which can be particularly bothersome at night-time.
Each daily dose of fabÜ R&R RELAX gives you 200mg of magnesium.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 contributes to normal mental performance and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The stresses and pressures of daily living can cause ‘burn out’ and exhaustion. This in turn can lead to us not performing to our most optimal and can make us feel anxious and stressed.
A clear and focused mind is a relaxed mind.

Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin for the body. It contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin B12 is found mainly in animal products. Many people nowadays are choosing to follow vegetarian or vegan diets. Others are mindfully reducing their intake of meat products. There is an increase in Vitamin B12 deficiency as a result. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a wide range of issues including extreme tiredness, lethargy and brain fog.
We use methylcobalamin in fabÜ R&R RELAX, which is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B12
Each daily dose of two capsules of fabÜ R&R RELAX gives you 10 µg of vitamin B12
Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin was included in fabÜ R&R RELAX because it has top to toe health benefits, and it particularly benefits our brain. Niacin contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. It reduces tiredness and fatigue and contributes to normal energy levels . Its benefits are far-reaching and it was the perfect final ingredient chosen for this unique formula.

The Ingredients
Cordyceps mushroom
Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) has been used for over a thousand years in traditional eastern medicine as a tonic. It has a host of health benefits including supporting energy and immune function. This fungus is found naturally in the Tibetan Plateau and neighbouring regions, including China, Nepal, Tibet, and India. In the wild, Cordyceps is a fungus that grows on caterpillars high in the Himalayan mountains. We cultivate our cordyceps on a vegan substrate consisting of rice and other nutrients so our product is vegan friendly.
Cordyceps are brown or bright orange in colour. They are a beautiful and unusual looking mushroom. The fruiting body of cordyceps look like long finger-like projections emerging from the substrate on which it grows.
The presence of phytochemicals (literally meaning chemical compounds produced by plants) such as beta-glucans, polysaccharides, sterols and other bioactive compounds are what give cordyceps mushrooms their unique health benefits.
Chaga mushroom
Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) have been used for centuries in Siberia and other parts of Asia as a remedy to support immunity and improve overall health. Traditionally, chaga was grated into a fine powder and brewed as a herbal tea. Chaga grows mainly on the bark of birch trees in cold climates, such as Northern Europe, Siberia, Russia, Korea, Northern Canada and Alaska. Chaga produces a woody growth, or conk, which looks similar to a clump of burnt charcoal. The inside has a soft core with a bright orange colour.
The presence of phytochemicals ( literally meaning chemical compounds produced by plants) such as beta-glucans, polysaccharides, sterols and other bioactive compounds are what give chaga mushrooms their unique health benefits.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid has a host of health benefits. Vitamin C is a critical micronutrient. It contributes to your immune defence system by supporting multiple cellular functions of your body's adaptive immune systems. It is an antioxidant so it can also fight free radicals in the body, thereby decreasing inflammation and supporting immunity.
Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. As well as supporting the immune system it is involved in many body functions, including wound healing, the formation of collagen absorption of iron, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
fabÜ SHROOMS IMMUNE gives you 500mg of Vitamin C daily.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D has many important roles within the body. It supports healthy immune system and is essential for the health of our bones, teeth, muscle and cartilage.
The body produces Vitamin D upon exposure to sunlight. It is well documented that populations in the northern hemisphere are deficient in Vitamin D as they do not get enough sunlight, particularly in the autumn and winter months. The use of sunscreens and sunblocks (which are excellent for protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful ageing and cancer-causing UVA and UVB rays) further reduce the body’s ability to make Vitamin D. This is why supplementation with Vitamin D is so important.
fabÜ SHROOMS IMMUNE gives you 1000iu of Vitamin D daily.
Copper
Copper is an essential mineral. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which can lead to cell and tissue damage. The body’s natural immune response can trigger oxidative stress temporarily. This type of oxidative stress causes mild inflammation that goes away after the immune system fights off an infection or repairs an injury. Uncontrolled oxidative stress can accelerate the aging process and may contribute the development of a number of conditions.
fabÜ SHROOMS IMMUNE gives you 1mg of copper daily.
Zinc
Zinc is a mineral that is found in cells throughout the body. It is a cofactor which is necessary for hundreds of biological reactions within the body.
Zinc plays an essential role in ensuring the normal function of the immune system. It is also important for energy metabolism, wound healing, DNA synthesis and the maintenance of normal vision. It contributes to skin, hair and nail health too, so is essential for the health of your body from top to toe!
fabÜ SHROOMS IMMUNE gives you 10mg of zinc daily.
Food sources of zinc include nuts, red meat and fortified breakfast cereals.
