De-Stress, in the context of health optimization, refers to supporting the body's natural recovery from everyday stress and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Certain dietary supplements can assist by optimizing the body's, mind's, and spirit's response to the normal stresses of daily life, encouraging a balanced state. Supplements that support the De-Stress response are generally taken with meals to promote recovery from the everyday stresses of life.

Mechanisms of Action:

  • Supports the body's, mind's, and spirit's natural ability to recover from everyday stress.
  • Promotes a balanced nervous system.
  • Supports healthy neurotransmitter function.
  • Encourages relaxation and easing of tension.

Key Considerations for De-Stress Support:

  • Adaptogenic Herbs: Certain herbs, known as adaptogens, have been traditionally used to support the body's ability to adapt to various challenges. Some examples from our product list that provide this kind of support are Ashwagandha, American Ginseng, and Schisandra.
  • Nervine Herbs: Herbs that support the nervous system, such as those found in the Nervine category, can promote relaxation and a sense of calm.
  • Mindful Practices: Engaging in practices like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga can support the body's, mind's, and spirit's natural ability to de-stress.
  • Restorative Sleep: Prioritizing adequate, restful sleep is crucial for the body's recovery from daily stressors.
  • Nutrient Support: Certain nutrients, like magnesium and B vitamins, play important roles in the nervous system and can contribute to a balanced stress response.
  • Consistent Use: Many of the herbs and nutrients that support this kind of response may be most beneficial when taken consistently over time as part of a holistic approach to well-being.
