Natural Relief From Chronic Fatigue & Stress

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, also called “adrenal fatigue,” is an epidemic in the United States and is primarily caused by excessive actual and/or perceived (mental) stress. Over 80% of people cite lack of energy, a common HPA axis dysfunction symptom, as the most common reason for going to a physician.Other symptoms that may indicate HPA axis dysfunction includes the uncontrollable urge to eat, constant sugar cravings, unusual mood swings, chronic fatigue during the day and an inability to fall asleep at night.

The Stress Relief Difference

Stress Relief is a natural, adaptogenic, stimulant free formula that rehabilitates the body’s energy systems and adrenal glands by balancing cortisol levels and the body’s stress response. Stress Relief works at the cellular level in the brain, adrenal gland and gut to efficiently recharge the exhausted person.

Pantothenic Acid

Pantothenic Acid (B5) is involved in the production of important stress management hormones, including cortisol and progesterone^2,3. In addition, pantothenic acid has been shown to increase acetyl CoA levels in the body, leading to increased cellular energy production⁴ .

Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract

Rhodiola is a powerful adaptogenic herb that has been widely used in Eastern Europe and Asia. A great deal of research has shown its efficacy helping support the nervous system, mood regulation, mental clarity, work performance and the sleep cycle⁵. A six week randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind study using 170 mg of Rhodiola showed a clear anti-fatigue effect without any reported adverse reactions for those in the treatment group⁶ . Another double blind, randomized trial using Rhodiola found that those using the treatment experienced increased mental performance, especially the ability to concentrate⁷.

Sensoril Ashwaganda®

Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera) is a powerful, adaptogenic herb that helps the body deal with stressors. Sensoril Ashwaganda® is a unique, patented form of Ashwagandha that is prepared in a way that leads to higher levels of its active constituents (withanolide glycosides) compared to conventional preparations. The ingredient is supported by ten clinical trials. One double-blind, placebo controlled trial showed that 250 mg of the ingredient (amount in a daily dose of Stress Relief) was able to decrease cortisol levels by 24.2%, increase DHEA sulfate levels by 32.2% and decrease C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, an inflammatory marker, by 36.6% in 60 days⁸. The same dose elicited the following symptomatic improvements in the same time period: 73% for fatigue, 68% for sleeplessness, 57% for forgetfulness, 77% for irritability, 75% for depression, 71% for headache and muscle pain and 76% for ability to concentrate. In another double-blind placebo controlled trial using the same ingredient at various doses showed that 250 mg improved knee swelling (6%), pain (35%), stiffness (31%), and disability (34%) and an overall 29% improvement in mWOMAC scores, a widely used scale derived from a set of standardized questionnaires used to evaluate osteoarthritis symptoms⁹.

Eleuthero Root Extract (Siberian Ginseng)

Eleuthero is considered by some to be the master “adaptogenic” herb, as it is the botanical that seems to be extremely effective at promoting physiological homeostasis in the body. It has been shown to support general health, memory and endurance¹⁰ as well as immune function^11,12. Double-blind research has shown Eleuthero’s ability to help maintain a sense of calmness by reducing heart rate¹³ and improve performance in runners¹⁴.

L-Theanine

This gentle amino acid is naturally found in green tea and has been shown to promote relaxation without causing drowsiness by increasing alpha waves in the brain. Alpha waves are known to induce an alert and relaxed mental and physical state. Research has shown that L-theanine reaches the brain and increases alpha wave activity within 40 minutes of ingestion¹⁵ . L-theanine may also support healthy blood pressure levels and improve learning ability.

Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD)

SOD is one of the body’s strongest antioxidants. It helps repair cells and minimizes cellular damage by neutralizing free radicals that would normally cause damage to body tissues and create inflammation. It was shown that mammals who produced higher tissue and serum levels of SOD lived longer than those with lower levels^16,17.
