Composition and herbal profile of lemon balm:
Altermedica juice is a concentrated extract made from fresh lemon balm leaves, which have been used in herbal medicine for centuries throughout Europe and the Middle East. With its mild lemon aroma and rich content of biologically active substances, lemon balm is notable for its high concentration of essential oils (mainly citronellal, citronellol, geraniol and linalool), flavonoids, rosmarinic acid, tannins and terpenes. The essential oils in the leaves are responsible for their characteristic aroma and pharmacological effects on the central nervous system.

Supporting the Nervous System through Natural Neuromodulatory Mechanisms:
Lemon balm juice has a positive effect on the central and peripheral nervous systems through several combined mechanisms. Its main action is the regulation of GABAergic system activity. This is achieved thanks to rosmarinic acid, which inhibits the enzyme GABA transaminase, responsible for breaking down GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). This process prolongs the presence of this neurotransmitter at synapses, promoting a sense of calm, reducing anxiety and improving emotional resilience.

Improved Sleep and Recovery:
One of the most notable benefits of lemon balm juice is improved sleep. This is not due to a direct sedative effect, but rather to its balancing effect on nervous system arousal and its role in normalising circadian rhythms. Its influence on the GABA and dopamine regulatory systems facilitates the transition from wakefulness to sleep, shortens the time it takes to fall asleep and contributes to deeper, uninterrupted sleep.

Improved Gastrointestinal Comfort during Stress:
The direct connection between the nervous system and the digestive system is well recognised in modern medicine. Lemon balm juice has a mild antispasmodic effect due to its terpenes and essential oils. This makes it suitable for use before meals by people prone to functional stomach disorders, without affecting the secretion of digestive enzymes.

Antioxidant Protection during Mental Strain:
Prolonged psycho-emotional stress leads to oxidative processes in nervous tissue. The active compounds in lemon balm, particularly flavonoids and rosmarinic acid, demonstrate strong antioxidant activity. This action is especially important for people experiencing mental stress.
