STRESSFX has been designed to reduce cortisol levels and promote a state of calm and relaxation.

Description:

Our bodies were designed to cope with truly dangerous situations, even danger and death. When stress arises, our body reacts as if we were being chased by a lion (for example). We find ourselves in a state of "fight or flight" in response to a massive production of stress hormones by the adrenal glands, notably cortisol and adrenalin. This response is designed to help us survive when threatened, and would be entirely appropriate if we were actually face to face with a lion.

However, the body cannot differentiate between being chased by a lion and being stuck in traffic, for example, or facing a tight deadline. So our bodies react in the same way to different stressors. When we're confronted with stressors repeatedly and continuously, the body thinks we're constantly being chased by that lion - so chronic stress implies a perpetual state of "fight or flight".

The opposite of being in fight or flight (sympathetic nervous system) is relaxation and rest (parasympathetic nervous system). The body cannot exist in both states at the same time, and should only go into fight or flight on rare occasions.However, most of us are faced with a multitude of stressors on a daily basis, depleting both our mental and physical health.

The fight-or-flight state involves physiological changes:

• Redirects blood flow to the large muscles and heart, to help us run (save ourselves) or fight off any threat. This increases our risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
• Suppresses blood flow to the organs of digestion and detoxification. This slows digestion, and can cause heartburn, bloating and aggravate digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.
• Suppresses the immune system, allowing us to face imminent danger rather than fight infection.
• Catabolizes muscles and increases fat storage to store energy for imminent danger. This promotes weight gain, especially in the abdomen.
  • Redirects the brain's blood flow to areas other than those responsible for long-term learning and memory, allowing us to place greater emphasis on flight or fight. The result? Mental fog, poor memory and difficulty concentrating.
  • Suppresses sleep because melatonin is inhibited by cortisol. The result is fatigue, anxiety, depression and increased difficulty coping with stress.

• Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea), root extract, 3% rosavin, 1% salidroside

  • An adaptogen that lowers cortisol levels to improve your ability to cope with stress.
  • Increases energy and mental clarity and reduces anxiety and low mood.

  L-theanine

  • Reduces stress-related symptoms, low mood and anxiety, and improves cognitive function by targeting the brain's glutamate receptors, which stimulate the release of the feel-good hormones GABA, serotonin and dopamine.
  • Promotes relaxation and sleep, reduces sleep disturbances.

  Ashwagandha KSM-66 (Withania somnifera), root, extract 12:1, 5% withanolides

  • Lowers cortisol levels, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
  • Improves memory and cognitive functions, promoting concentration and clarity of thought [6].
  • KSM-66 is a highly concentrated extract of the most biologically active constituents of the ashwagandha plant. Its benefits for our body are greater than those of other formulas.

  Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

An inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, whose role is to provide a sense of well-being and relaxation by shifting the nervous system from an anxious fight-or-flight state to a regenerative state of relaxation.

• By regulating deep sleep phases, it helps reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.

Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata), aerial parts, extract 10:1

• Stimulation of GABA levels in the brain promotes relaxation while significantly reducing nervousness and anxiety.

Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis), fruit, 10:1 extract

• An adaptogen that enhances our ability to manage stress and promotes a sense of relaxation by acting on serotonin pathways.

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), aerial parts, 4:1 extract

• Reduces stress and anxiety by stimulating GABA receptors in the brain to promote relaxation.
