Stress-Relief Supplement FAQ

Q: What are stress-relief supplements, and what can they do for you?

Stress-relief supplements contain nutrients to support the nervous system, which helps protect the body from the effects of stress. Additionally, a good stress-relief supplement will also include Vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, which is often weakened during times of stress. It should also contain adaptogenic herbs to help the body and mind handle stressful situations, as well as calming herbs to promote relaxation and restful sleep.

We also recommend finding a stress-relief supplement with added Piperine (preferably BioPerine^®) to improve nutrient absorption and speed up results.

Q: Do all stress-relief supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of natural ingredients and render the product useless.

Q: What should I look for?

• It should provide nutrients that support a healthy nervous system and relax muscles, such as Magnesium and Potassium.
• It should contain B-Vitamins to protect the body from the effects of stress and improve mood.
• It should contain Zinc to balance cortisol levels and reduce stress.
• It should contain Vitamin C to strengthen the immune system.
• It should contain adaptogens like the herbs Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea to help the body fight stress.
• It should contain calming herbs such as Lemon Balm and Valerian Root to promote relaxation and sleep.
• It should contain Piperine (preferably BioPerine^®) for increased absorption.
• It must have no fillers, binders or any other artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between natural stress-relief supplements and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis. It is especially important that pregnant or nursing women consult a doctor regarding adding any supplements to their diet.

Q: How do I take stress-relief supplements?

You should take either one or two capsules per day - depending on the instructions on the label. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while for others it may take slightly longer. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame. For example, Research Verified Calm & Relax offers a 365-day money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the results you experience.

Q: How much do stress-relief supplements cost?

The cost of stress-relief supplements varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap-quality products trying to cash in on the health trends. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$60 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
