Maximize Your Tear Production By Supporting Your Parasympathetic Nervous System!
Your lacrimal gland produces the bulk of your tears. The lacrimal nerve signals the lacrimal gland to produce tears whenever you need them. This is part of your Parasympathetic Nervous System (the same system of the body that allows you to rest, to calm yourself, and to digest food). The lacrimal nerve communicates with the lacrimal gland via a chemical messenger called acetylcholine…

Exercise is so good for us! It promotes circulation, improves cardiovascular health, helps muscle, bone and joint disease, helps with metabolic disorders and weight control, and even improves psychological well-being. Studies show that…
Top Symptoms Of Low Acetylcholine

How is Normal Gallbladder Function Optimized by Vagus Nerve Support™?
The gallbladder is an organ that allows the proper digestion of fats. As a part of the biliary system, the gallbladder is involved in the production, storage, and transportation of bile. Bile allows us to digest fats, which then provides us with fat-soluble vitamins (among other nutrients). Fat-soluble vitamins include Vitamins D, A, E, and K and control many aspects of our health…

Your digestive system depends upon the vagus nerve for proper function. Most every aspect of normal digestion, motility (movement of the food/stool) and nutrient absorption depends upon proper vagus nerve function.

What Is The Vagus Nerve and Why Should You Care?
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body and regulates both the heart and the digestive tract. Although spoken of as if it is one nerve, the vagus nerve actually includes both a right and left vagus nerve. It is the “major chill” nerve of the body and allows you to relax. It regulates what we call the parasympathetic nervous system — the calming, relaxing system of the body…
