5-HTP Synergy
Our modern, stressful lives lower levels of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin depletion leads to food cravings, depression, and other mood disorders. The pharmaceutical industry has responded to the serotonin crisis by creating a wide array of medications which seek to restore serotonin metabolism. A better approach may be to replete serotonin naturally by using its precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP). Naturally restoring serotonin levels may help promote healthy mood levels and may also reduce food cravings.

Very intelligent formulation, specific nutrients to support mood. Comes in an easy-to-mix powder form.
Holy Basil
This is the real "magic ingredient" in those stress formulas you see advertised on late night television. Holy basil is considered an antistress or adaptogenic remedy in Ayurvedic medicine. In animal models, there is some evidence that a specific combination product containing holy basil, ashwagandha, asparagus, and Indian gooseberry (EuMil) can reduce several measures of stress response.

It is designed to support neurological and cognitive function and optimize neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and GABA. Often used with BrainVitale, a multiple vitamin and fatty acids.
Omega-3's
The research on omega-3 fatty acids is so overwhelming at this point that no one denies their positive impact on cardiovascular health, mood, metabolic syndrome and brain health. These products by Carlson are known to be fine quality at an extremely reasonable cost. The dosages are very meaningful, with each cap containing 330 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA.
Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodiola rosea has been shown in several clinical studies to have a profound anti-fatigue effect and is wonderful for stress and anxiety. The Physicians Desk Reference for Herbal Medicines says: "Most users find that it improves their mood, energy level and mental clarity".
SAMe
SAMe is perhaps the most effective natural antidepressant in the world. It's better tolerated and has a quicker onset of antidepressant action than tricyclic antidepressants, often working within five days. SAMe is necessary in the manufacture of important brain compounds. In depressed patients, taking SAMe results in increased levels of serotonin and dopamine.
St. John's Wort
St. John’s Wort is one of the most studied supplements for mood and has been found to be effective for mild to moderate depression. I love this formula because it’s standardized for the active ingredient and also contains a natural form of folic acid.
StressArrest
Stress Arrest contains GABA, the main calming neurotransmitter in the body. GABA is found naturally in the brain and is a key ingredient of many stress formulas (including Brain Calm and Zen.) Designs for Health's formula also includes glycine as well as B6 and Pantothenic acid for stress support.
Stress X
This is quickly becoming one of the top sellers in the stress management category- well-designed formula at a good price. Particularly good for sensitive systems.
Zen
This elegant product contains a combination of ingredients that help stabilize mood and provide a feeling of alert relaxation. It is one of my favorites for promoting relaxation and stress reduction. It contains GABA, the main relaxing neurotransmitter in the body and theanine, one of the health promoting active ingredients in green tea. Anxiety and panic attacks are frequently associated with decreased levels of GABA as are many distressing psychological symptoms of PMS. And theanine has been shown to help regulate serotonin levels.
