The Science
Ingredient deep dive
Every ingredient in Bluhr is there for a reason. Here's the reason.
We built Bluhr around a four-ingredient stack — each one chosen for a specific role in your evening reset. No filler. No proprietary blends. Just a formula you can actually read.
The Foundation
Kava Root Extract — 300mg kavalactones
Piper methysticum
Kava is the anchor of the Bluhr formula. The active compounds in kava root — a class of molecules called kavalactones — interact with GABA receptors in the brain. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system: when it's active, neural activity slows, and you feel calmer.
Unlike alcohol, which also affects GABA but causes widespread neurological suppression, kavalactones act more selectively — supporting relaxation without the intoxication, impaired coordination, or next-day cognitive effects associated with alcohol.
Why 300mg?
Kavalactone dose is the single most important variable in kava supplementation. Most products don't label it at all. We chose 300mg per serving as a meaningful, felt dose — enough to support a genuine evening shift without overpowering the formula. Start with a half scoop on your first use.
The Clarity Layer
L-Theanine
Found naturally in green tea (Camellia sinensis)
L-theanine is an amino acid that supports alpha brain wave activity — the state associated with relaxed alertness. Think of it as the quality that keeps you present and engaged even as you unwind. It's why a cup of green tea feels calming but not sedating.
In Bluhr, L-theanine is paired with kava to support calm without fog. You relax, but you stay yourself.
The Ease Layer
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Highly bioavailable form of magnesium
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nervous system regulation. Most people are deficient. Bisglycinate is one of the most bioavailable forms — meaning more of what you take actually gets absorbed and used.
In Bluhr, it supports the physical side of the evening reset — the tension you carry in your shoulders, jaw, and back after a long day.
The Mood Layer
Saffron Extract
Crocus sativus
Saffron is one of the most researched botanical ingredients for mood support. The active compounds — safranal and crocin — have been studied for their effects on serotonin metabolism. Emerging research suggests saffron extract supports positive mood and helps moderate the stress response.
It's the ingredient that rounds out the formula — not just calm, but genuinely at ease.
