Dial down your cortisol

When you’re stressed, your adrenal glands flood your system with a hormone called cortisol. This helps you respond in an immediate crisis, but it’s harmful when cortisol levels remain too high, too long. A soothing herb from India and two minerals can help.

Ashwagandha is an herb widely used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, that is revered for its calming properties. Modern science has shown Ashwagandha effectively lowers cortisol. Stress Relief Plus features a patented form of Ashwaganda called Sensoril®, which has been clinically shown to reduce fatigue, irritability, body aches, and other signs of stress by 62%.

Magnesium and Chromium are both calming minerals that put the brakes on cortisol production. We exclusively use magnesium citrate and chromium nicotinate. These organic forms of minerals are much better absorbed and utilized than their inferior counterparts, magnesium oxide and chromium chloride.

Make yourself stress-resistant

Stress isn’t going away, but adaptogens can help you adapt to it.

Adaptogenic herbs such as holy basil, rhodiola, lemon balm, and eleuthero have numerous stress-busting actions, helping fight fatigue, improve cognitive function, and support emotional well-being. We use highly concentrated extracts to make our Stress Relief Plus herbal blend, helping you achieve a perfectly stress-free day.

Calm your brain

Stress starts in the brain, so an effective stress supplement will help calm brain waves and create feel-good neurotransmitters.

L-theanine, an amino acid found in black and green tea, has a unique ability. It can slow down the frequency of your brainwaves, taking you from agitated beta waves to relaxed alpha waves in just 60 minutes.

B vitamins help produce neurotransmitters in the brain, including the mood-lifting neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin and the calming neurotransmitter GABA. This helps explain why they’ve been shown to help people cope with stress.
