5 Supplements You Can Take Today to Help Reduce Stress

It’s no lie we can experience stress on an everyday basis. 2020 alone wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for many of us. With all these daily stresses we experience in our lives, we need to make sure we are keeping up with our health and taking care of our bodies.

So, here are a few supplements that you could take daily that work with your body’s mechanisms to help alleviate your stress for a better day. Keep in mind, these are also found in some of our incredible products!

Rhodiola

Rhodiola is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to all types of stress including physical, chemical, and environmental. In one study, participants who took Rhodiola saw major improvements in issues like fatigue, exhaustion, and anxiety in only three days! Rhodiola is also an ingredient in our NeuraVie^® brain health supplement, which creates an emotional calming effect.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha (pronounced aash-wuh-gaan-duh) is a popular supplement known for reducing anxiety and stress and is also an ingredient in NeuraVie. As an adaptogen, ashwagandha may help you feel calm during stressful periods by decreasing cortisol levels and increasing the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes.

Licorice Root

Surprisingly, licorice root, which is used as a flavoring to some candies and medications, is also a great anxiety reliever. As a natural ingredient in SomaDerm^® gel, licorice root is responsible for helping regulate hormone levels, but it also helps regulate the body’s stress hormone production. Delicious and good for us!

Green Tea

Chamomile might be your go-to cup of tea to de-stress and relax, but did you know green tea is another great stress reliever? Green tea is on SomaDerm’s ingredient list, and contains L-Theanine, which is also an amino acid in the NeuraVie blend! L-Theanine reduces physiological stress responses as well as leaves a calming effect on our bodies.

Elderberry

Because elderberry contains antioxidants and other vitamins to help your immune system, it can also help reduce the damage of oxidative stress in the body. This stress can lead to potential health concerns, so it’s important to do all we can to prevent it. Elderberry is an ingredient in Fortress^® that helps protect us in times of stress, while supporting our overall health.
