Stress Health Support 

The ultimate goal is a balanced life, but we all go through stressful times in our lives, when we need a little extra support to help us cope with stress. Supplements can do just that, providing the right nutrients and botanical extracts, for optimal adrenal support and a healthy stress response.  

Stress Health Support Nutrients 

• Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) is an important ayurvedic herb for adrenal health, stamina and stress support. Used traditionally to help build long term reserves, to help cope with the daily stressors of life. 
• Vitamin C is a necessary antioxidant for the manufacture of healthy stress hormones and mood neurotransmitters. This vitamin needs to be replenished daily in order to cope with ongoing stress. 
• B vitamins offer as clockwork vitamins, building blocks of energy and adrenal support, during times of stress. B5 (pantothenic acid) particularly helps with adrenal support and helps to nourish the adrenal glands. 
• 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a protein that supports healthy neurotransmitter serotonin, for mood balance and stress health support.  
• Magnesium is a nerve relaxing mineral that regulates the ‘fight and flight’ response and allows for smooth electrical signaling in the brain and nervous system, while helping to support a healthy stress response.  

 Stress Health Tips 

• Exercise regularly to release healthy endorphins and neurotransmitters that help support our energy levels and mood, while supporting the response to stress. 
• Deep Breathing for relaxation support and focus. Take a break to relax. 
• Eat regular meals to support energy levels in order to cope with stress better. 
• Do one thing at a time. Multi-tasking can often create more stress, meaning that it can take longer to get the job done. 

• Make time to be creative, as this helps the body relax, offering another form of stress support.  
• Have a massage or a relaxing bath to encourage the ‘rest and digest’ mode, which is very important for replenishing energy levels and restoring mind and body health. 
• Talk to a friend or write things down as these are great ways to eliminate some of the stress build up that happens over time.
