Bluenesse® - Key features
- Rapidly impacts cortisol levels
- Reduces anxiety
- Provides nootropic effect
- Helps to manage stress level for a better cognitive performance
Science supporting Bluenesse®
Bluenesse® provides an immediate improvement in stress relief and cognitive performance. Its mechanism of action in affinity to the muscarinic M1 receptor, has been analysed in in vitro studies. Its benefits have been confirmed in two published acute clinical studies on young population.
Characterisation
Bluenesse® is a botanical extract obtained by water extraction of lemon balm leaves (Melissa officinalis L.), a traditional herb native to and cultivated in Europe. Specific batches of lemon balm are selected for their capacity to bind to the muscarinic M1 receptor. Bluenesse® is standardised to 6% rosmarinic acid.
Primary active compounds
Rosmarinic acid ≥6%
Muscarinic M1 receptor activity ✓
Composition: Lemon balm water extract (Melissa officinalis L.)
Recommended daily dosage: 300 mg
Mechanism of action
Bluenesse® has affinity to muscarinic M1 receptor.
Muscarinic receptors, as part of the cholinergic system, have been reported to play a key role for cognitive effects, including alertness and memory.
The experiments demonstrated significant muscarinic M1 receptor binding properties of Bluenesse®.

ICED DRINK 200 ml/day 600 mg of Bluenesse® + natural sweeteners |
Acute bioavailability
Rosmarinic acid is a known GABA transaminase and acetylcholine esterase inhibitor.
- Higher concentrations of GABA are support a calm mood.
- Elevated acetylcholine levels are improving memory and cognition.
Bluenesse® consumption induces a statistically significant increase in rosmarinic acid blood concentration from 0.5 to 2 h, compared to baseline levels.
