Let’s talk about holiday stress management ➡️ these are our staff’s top supplement picks to help you enjoy the holiday season by keeping stress levels low & controlled!
Dominique: Life Extension Theanine XR Stress Relief - this product uses an extended-release form of L-theanine, an amino acid from green tea known for promoting a calm, focused state, to provide stress support that releases gradually throughout the day.
Mike: Ashwagandha - we agree with Mike that ashwagandha is a great option during the holiday season! It is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to help the body regulate its stress response. Research shows it can lower cortisol, support calmer mood, and improve stress resilience over time by helping balance the nervous system.
EJ: Another vote for ashwagandha!
Jailyn: Natural Factors Suntheanine - this a pharmaceutical grade L-theanine that is produced using a special fermentation process. It supports mental calmness and relaxation but without drowsiness (perfect for the holidays!).
Stephen: Pure Life Gabamax - this blend is designed to boost GABA, the brain’s primary calming neurotransmitter, and combines multiple heavy hitting ingredients for a fast acting effect. Many people report a difference in how they feel 60-90 minutes after taking this one!
Brandon: Pure Life Gabatrol & Hi Tech Somatomax - Brandon also loves Pure Life’s gaba based products, as well as Somatomax, another supplement that boosts GABA. This formula is most commonly used before bed for improved sleep, which as we all know is an important component of reducing stress.
