Top 6 Drinks for Deep Relaxation

Surely you’re aware of the abundance of the energy drinks on the market, designed to pump you up with caffeine, guarana, taurine, and sugar in the name of giving you an extra boost.  But it seems that to counter the growing industry of drinks that stimulate, a bevy of beverages that are supposed to soothe has cropped up on the market.  Our pals at NewBeauty Magazine have rounded up some of the top relaxation-inducing offerings.  Full of amino acids like GABA and melatonin, which help to regulate sleep, these drinks will help you rest easy.
