Some scant evidence of it's effects are Lecithin which contains Choline and Inositol. Lecithin is rich in Phosphatidyl Choline and according to this site http://www.vitaminevi.com/Concern/Anxiety.htm
It's helpful to control panic attacks. Admittedly the amounts are a lot larger than in Seroctin.Also Ginger > Anxiety reduction – Animal models indicate that ginger may reduce anxiety through an unknown mechanism.
Lastly the main ingredient seems to be Zea Mays. I can't find any conclusive evidence this is used for anxiety, it seems to be more widely used as a diuretic. I've seen a couple of sites mention it raises Serotonin and Melotonin levels.
Nothing really conclusive.
