If you’re not sure how listed ingredients help combat anxiety and stress, we will further explain the action mechanism and benefits of the key ingredients.

Vitamin B complex

Vitamins B (Vitamin B1, B2, B5, B6, Niacin, Biotin) are vital to a healthy nervous system. As such, they play a key role in various aspects of mental health, including attention and cognition. They also have a significant impact in improving symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a necessary mineral for overall human health but it plays a key role in our neurological health. The deficiency of magnesium often leads to anxiety symptoms. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating neurotransmitters – signal molecules that send messages throughout the brain and body helping us to feel good.

Magnesium helps in regulating the proper function of adrenal glands – glands responsible for your body’s response to stress.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an ancient medical herb that has been found extremely beneficial in fighting anxiety and adrenal fatigue. Cortisol is the stress hormone that goes up when we are stressed out. It regulates the production of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. High cortisol levels create longer-term fatigue and mental fogginess. Ashwagandha boost brain function lowers cortisol levels and relieves anxiety and depression.

Passionflower

Passionflower is a commonly used natural remedy for sleep deprivation and anxiety. It has been shown  to have significant sedative and calming effect. It has been primarily used for sedation, but nowadays it is used as an effective natural treatment for insomnia and anxiety.

Valerian root

Valerian root is known as an effective natural sleeping aid, but it can also be used to calm nervous tension caused by anxiety. It increases the levels of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitting molecule that sends signals from brain to the body making us calm and relaxed.

Commonly used diazepams such as Xanax and Valium also increase GABA levels in the brain.

L-theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid with several beneficial effects in treating anxiety and ADHD. It works as a precursor in producing happy hormones in our body such as dopamine and serotonin. The main advantage of L-theanine amino acid is that it won’t cause drowsiness, memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction compared to prescribed anxiety medications.

So far, there have been no reports of side effects from taking L-theanine.

St John’s Wort

This is one of the most commonly used herbs for treating depression-related anxiety. It works similarly to antidepressants. Its active ingredients, including hypericin, hyperforin and adhyperforin are responsible for these benefits. These ingredients increase the levels of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline – chemicals that lift and regulate our mood.

5-HTP

5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytryptiphan, is a dietary supplement made from seeds of an African plant called Griffonia simplicifolia. 5-HTP is a safe and natural treatment for anxiety. Our brain uses 5-HTP to produce serotonin. 5-HTP reviews suggest that it helps with AHDH, insomnia, anxiety and depression. 5-HTP is an example of a natural supplement that may be safely combined with a prescription anti-anxiety medication with little risk of adverse effects.
