Stress & Anxiety

Life can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. Factors that can contribute to stress include work, family dynamics, money, economic instability, relationships, and health issues.

As of 2020, The American Psychological Association declared a national mental health crisis related to stress.* Of adults surveyed, 21% reported increased physical tension, 20% reported “snapping” or being quick to anger, 20% reported unexpected mood swings, and 17% reported raising their voice at someone they loved.

Unlike stress, anxiety is a prolonged condition defined by worries that persist in the absence of stressors. 3.8% of people worldwide suffer from anxiety disorders.** In the United States, 19.1% of people suffer from anxiety disorders.*** This includes generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Moreover, many physical conditions co-occur with anxiety, such as adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eating disorders, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and sleep disorders.

Although stress and anxiety are different, the symptoms and solutions associated with them are very similar. These symptoms include difficulty breathing, panic attacks, eye soreness or blurriness, trouble sleeping, headaches, body aches, chest pains, indigestion, and heartburn.

We recommend the supplements featured here for those experiencing stress, anxiety, or both. Some of these supplements get straight to the heart of the issue.

Anxietame is a unique blend of L-theanine, GABA, 5-HTP, melatonin, and other vitamins and nutrients that can help reduce anxiety.
For women, Eve’s Harmony—our proprietary blend of herbs such as red clover, black cohosh, sage, and red raspberry—was designed to balance hormones, which can alleviate stress and anxiety symptoms.

Other supplements featured here target issues that may seem like symptoms but can also be the source of stress or anxiety. For example, probiotics provide immune and digestive support while magnesium can help you sleep and improve your mood throughout the day.

Essential Flora is an advanced probiotic formula designed to boost your immune system, restore gut health, and improve digestion.
MagniFlora Seven is a broad spectrum probiotic that aims to boost your immune system, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation.
For even more magnesium, an essential mineral when it comes to sleep and relaxation, try our MagNotCal formula.
