Supplements for Stress Support

Herbs have traditionally been used to aid in stress in different ways. Herbs can calm the Nervous System, supporting relaxation and mental ease. Certain adaptogenic herbs can help the body adapt to stress and build resilience. Other herbs can restore balance by supporting mood, energy and recovery.

Ashwagandha has been used for centuries, and is one of the most recognised herbs for modern stress support. As an adaptogen, it is often used to help the body respond more steadily to ongoing stress and can help to balance cortisol levels. Many people turn to Ashwagandha during demanding periods when stress feels persistent, draining, or difficult to switch off from.

Reishi has long been valued in traditional wellness practices as a mushroom associated with balance, resilience, and calm. Today it is often used to support the body during periods of stress. Reishi is especially popular in evening routines, where it is often chosen to help unwind after mentally demanding days.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in nervous system balance, muscle relaxation, and energy production. Because stress can increase demand for magnesium, many people use it as part of a daily routine to help ease tension, support relaxation, and reduce that wired yet tired feeling often linked with modern lifestyles.

“Research indicates that CBD positively influences the HPA axis, a network that controls the body’s response to stress. By potentially reducing overactivity in the HPA axis, CBD may help the body adapt better to stress, easing both the mental and physical symptoms of anxiety” - Professor Mike Barnes, Consultant Neurologist

Lion’s mane is one of the most recognised functional mushrooms for cognitive support. Traditionally used for focus and clarity, it is now widely used in modern wellness routines to support concentration and cognitive balance. Many people turn to lion’s mane during periods of metal fatigue or brain fog.

Also known as eleuthero, Siberian ginseng is a traditional adaptogenic herb often used to support stamina, resilience, and energy during times of physical or mental stress. Rather than promoting calm directly, it is commonly chosen when stress is linked with fatigue, overwork, or feeling run down.
