Seemingly staying on the "relaxation" band wagon; Mini Chill is a brand new product from Steve Panzella designed to help you relax and promote focused and clear thinking. Designed to be fast acting and non-drowsy, Mini Chill promises to help you relax and gain focus and clarity. I came into this review with some skepticism. I'm not a big supplement person. I don't take vitamins, herbs, or anything else, unless you count caffeine. However, I was surprised how well it actually worked and the following review is thanks to the affects of Mini Chill.

Mini Chill comes in small 2 ounce bottles, with a 780 milligrams of Relarian, a blend of amino acids and herbs including Valerian Root extract and GABA to help you relax; L-Theanine to reduce stress and improve your mood; and 5-HTP which increases your Serotonin levels.  Add some water and that's pretty much all there is to it. No sugar, no caffeine and no calories. 

 You know how medicine smells like cherries, but it has that hint of something else? When I first opened the bottle there was a berry like smell, but it seemed to be masking something more medicinal. While drinking it (a very short experience) it tasted a lot like flavored water. There was an aftertaste to it, but it didn't last very long, certainly not long enough to try and figure out what it tasted like.

After a few minutes I started to feel a bit more focused. My mind wasn't wandering around to various distractions like I usually do in my down time. While I was certainly more relaxed, I was in no way tired or drowsy. I believe this would be great to drink right before a test, or something else that requires lots of focus and concentration.

If you are local to the NYC area you might be able to find Mini Chill at a local store, or you can purchase some from MiniChill.com. Now that the affects have worn off I'm out.
