The holidays can be wonderful, but they can also be stressful. There are a variety of supplements we would recommend that can help. Some of our favorites are:
Theanine - An amino acid from green tea that works well to help with reducing stress and anxiety. Unlike some supplements for stress and anxiety, theanine will not make you tired. It's also used for helping with increasing focus. Most supplements for anxiety are meant to be used daily but theanine can be used both regularly or just when it's needed- it's effective both ways.
Ashwaganda - An adaptogenic herb that has been used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years to to help the body to better adapt to stress. It's most effective when taken on a daily basis. Ashwagandha has also been studied for its benefits for sleep, not that it makes you tired but it helps by balancing the body, improving sleep quality.
Saffron - An herb that can help with anxiety as well as mood and depression. It's also a great antioxidant as well and has been linked to benefits for eye health.
Passionflower - An herb that can be used for more severe anxiety particularly when used daily. Passion flower is often used as a sleep aid so it may make some people tired when used during the day.
