Levium was developed to harness a fascinating discovery: Special Forces members maintain elevated levels of naturally occurring Neuro-Peptide Y (NPY), often called The Resilience Neurotransmitter.
This natural advantage gives them enhanced focus, calm balance, and sustained energy—even in the heat of the most intense missions.
Many people in modern life may be deficient in NPY, but there is real hope.
The Science of Unshakable Calm: How Levium Harnesses Neuro-Peptide Y
Neuro-Peptide Y, or NPY, is a 36-amino-acid neuropeptide that plays a central role in how the body handles stress.
It functions as both a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems.
In the face of stress, NPY acts as a powerful anxiolytic—meaning it reduces anxiety and builds resilience.
It works by counteracting stress hormones like corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and cortisol, essentially acting as a “brake” on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis—the body’s main stress response pathway.
During acute stress, Neuro-Peptide Y is rapidly released. It modulates sympathetic nervous system activity, inhibits excessive noradrenaline release, and helps maintain a state of calm and focused alertness.
Through its specific receptors (Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y5), NPY balances emotional responses, reduces fear conditioning in the amygdala, and supports long-term adaptation to stress.
In short, Neuro-Peptide Y promotes resilience by dampening both the physical and psychological effects of stress, enabling faster recovery and better performance under pressure.
What Sets Levium Apart?
Our formula is designed to target Neuro-Peptide Y (NPY)—your brain’s natural counterbalance to cortisol.
As a key neurotransmitter in the limbic system (the brain’s emotion and stress-response center), NPY promotes calm, focus, and lasting resilience.
Groundbreaking Research on Special Forces
Studies on U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers offer powerful evidence of Neuro-Peptide Y’s role in elite performance.
Pioneering research led by Dr. Charles A. Morgan III and colleagues at Yale University examined plasma NPY levels during Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training—a grueling program that simulates capture, interrogation, and extreme combat stress.
In a landmark 2000 study involving 70 soldiers, researchers measured NPY at baseline, during peak stress (immediately after interrogation), and 24 hours later.
The results were striking: Special Forces soldiers showed NPY levels approximately 33% higher than regular troops during intense stress.
This elevation was linked to superior performance, reduced subjective distress, and significantly fewer symptoms of dissociation (a psychological marker of stress overload).
Importantly, Special Forces personnel demonstrated a rapid surge in NPY during stress and a quicker return to baseline afterward—suggesting adaptive changes from rigorous training that enhance resilience and recovery.
In contrast, non-Special Forces soldiers often experienced prolonged suppression of NPY below baseline, which correlated with higher anxiety and slower adaptation.
Follow-up studies in 2002 further confirmed these patterns, integrating NPY with other stress biomarkers like cortisol and noradrenaline.
Additional research conducted at Fort Bragg during SERE exercises reinforced that elevated Neuro-Peptide Y enables clear-headed decision-making and rapid physiological recovery—even under conditions of sleep deprivation, extreme physical exertion, and intense psychological pressure.
Insights from Trauma and Resilience Experts
Work by Dr. Rachel Yehuda at Mount Sinai School of Medicine has extended these findings to long-term resilience.
In a 2006 study of combat-exposed veterans, Dr. Yehuda found that higher plasma Neuro-Peptide Y levels were strongly associated with recovery from PTSD and the use of effective coping strategies.
Veterans without persistent PTSD—or those who improved over time—had significantly elevated NPY compared to those still struggling.
This research highlights Neuro-Peptide Y as a key biological marker of resilience, protecting against the lasting effects of trauma.

How Levium Works
Levium helps inhibit DPP4 enzymes that naturally degrade NPY, allowing your body’s own reserves to build over time.
With consistent daily use, you can experience:
- Immediate Support — Fast-acting ingredients help support a normal stress response in minutes.
- Long-Term Resilience — Rising NPY levels gradually accumulate, helping counterbalance elevated cortisol for sustained protection against stress.
Backed by the Glauser Life Sciences team—including MDs and PhDs from LSU Psychobiology, UNC Behavioral Neuroscience, and UCLA Health—Levium draws on years of research into its individual ingredients, carefully curated for maximum synergistic effect.
The result? A revolutionary natural formula trusted by thousands, with glowing reviews from users who are experiencing the power of unshakable calm.
