Ingredients You Can Trust
The FAM Bar is the only protein bar on the market offering therapeutic doses of ashwagandha and L-theanine, delivering a natural, science-backed approach to stress management and mental clarity.
Ashwagandha, a revered adaptogen with centuries of use, helps the body adapt to stress by reducing cortisol levels—the hormone responsible for the fight-or-flight response. This creates a sense of calm and balance, enhancing resilience to daily challenges. L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, complements ashwagandha by promoting relaxation without drowsiness. By increasing alpha brain wave activity, L-theanine supports a focused and tranquil state, ideal for staying centered in a fast-paced world.
Together, ashwagandha and L-theanine form a powerful synergy that sets The FAM Bar apart. Ashwagandha builds long-term stress resistance, while L-theanine provides immediate relief from tension and mental fatigue. This dual-action formula doesn’t just
mask stress but actively works to regulate your body’s response to it, helping you maintain emotional stability and mental clarity. With therapeutic doses of both adaptogens, The FAM Bar is the first to deliver a targeted solution for those seeking calm, focus, and balance in their day—all while enjoying a delicious, nutrient-packed snack.
Reservatrol & Polyphenols
The combination of resveratrol and polyphenols offers a natural solution for those struggling with stress and anxiety. Resveratrol, found in The FAM Bar’s organic peanuts and cacao, works by influencing serotonin and dopamine levels. Polyphenols, found in our organic cacao, flax seeds, almond flour and honey, combat inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. These natural compounds have emerged as nature’s mood stabilizers, offering a safe and effective way to manage stress and anxiety. Specifically, resveratrol is known for its ability to stabilize the body’s stress response by helping to regulate cortisol levels and maintain a sense of calm. Polyphenols complement this action by protecting the brain from inflammation and oxidative stress, which can exacerbate stress symptoms. Together, they form a protective barrier against the pressure of daily life.
Adaptogens & Magnesium
L-theanine, ashwagandha and magnesium form a powerful trio in the quest for stress reduction and mental tranquility. L-theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, promotes relaxation, without drowsiness, by increasing alpha brain wave activity, creating a sense of calm focus. Ashwagandha, a revered adaptogen, helps the body adapt to stress by lowering cortisol levels and boosting resilience. Magnesium, often referred to as the "relaxation" mineral," plays a key role in neurotransmitter regulation, contributing to a balanced mood and reduced anxiety. Together, these compounds create a holistic approach to stress management, supporting a peaceful mind and a balanced life. Our Peanut Butter Cacao bar includes a beneficial amount of both L-theanine (200 mg per bar) and ashwagandha (250 mg per bar) along with a healthy dose of magnesium (20% RDA) from organic pea protein, almond flour, cacao, pumpkin seeds and honey.
Tryptophan & Inositol
Tryptophan and inositol are a powerful mood-boosting duo. These nutrients work together to support mental health and elevate mood. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that acts a a precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of happiness and well-being. When tryptophan is present in the brain, it helps boost serotonin levels, leading to improved mood and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. Inositol, often referred to as vitamin B8, compliments tryptophan by playing a pivotal role in neurotransmitter signaling and cell membrane health. It helps regulate mood by enhancing the brain’s response to serotonin and other neurotransmitters, thereby reducing stress and promoting emotional stability. Together, tryptophan and inositol offer a natural pathway to a balanced, more positive state on mind. You can find tryptophan in our Peanut Butter Cacao bar’s organic peanuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and almond flour. Our organic almond flour, sunflower seeds and pea protein contain inositol.
Plant Protein & Fiber
Adopting a plant-based, high-fiber diet offers remarkable benefits for both mental and physical health. The nuts, seeds, legumes and vegetable in our Peanut Butter Cacao bar provide essential nutrients that are vital for neurotransmitter function and mood-enhancing chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. Fiber-rich foods aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes and mood swings. The high-fiber content supports gut health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria, which are closely linked to brain health through the gut-brain axis. By nourishing the body with plant-based fiber, you foster a harmonious balance in both mind and body. A high-fiber diet also promotes steady blood sugar levels, preventing the spikes and crashes that can trigger stress and irritability. The diverse array of nutrients found in plant-based foods, such as antioxidants and vitamins, support brain health and cognitive function. By prioritizing plant-based fiber and protein, you nourish your body in a way that promotes mental clarity, reduces anxiety and fosters a more balanced emotional state. It’s a holistic approach to well-being that goes beyond just physical health.
