Clinically Studied Benefits (with research)
• Reduces perceived stress & cortisol* — Ashwagandha root extract lowered stress scores and serum cortisol in adults (NIH/PubMed — Chandrasekhar K, 2012).
• Improves sleep quality in stressed adults* — Ashwagandha enhanced sleep efficiency and reduced sleep latency in a randomized trial (NIH/PubMed — Langade K, 2019).
• Supports mental performance under fatigue* — Rhodiola (SHR-5) improved attention, psychomotor speed, and fatigue in clinical trials (NIH/PubMed — Darbinyan V, 2000; NIH/PubMed — Shevtsov V, 2003).
• Helps sustain cognitive function during stressors* — L-Tyrosine supported working memory and task performance during acute stress exposures (NIH/PubMed — Deijen J, 1999).
• Adaptogenic endurance & stress recovery* — Eleuthero has human data suggesting improved stress tolerance and work capacity (NIH/PubMed — Coon J, 2002).
• Calm mood & stress balance* — Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) improved stress-related symptoms in adults in controlled trials (NIH/PubMed — Bhattacharyya D, 2008).
• Energy & cognitive support* — Panax ginseng showed acute improvements in cognitive performance and subjective calm in adults (NIH/PubMed — Reay J, 2010).
• Stress & fatigue support* — Vitamin C and B6 contribute to normal psychological function and energy metabolism; clinical data link vitamin C with reduced fatigue under stress (NIH/PubMed — Hemilä H, 2012).
Additional / Promising Evidence*
• Resilience to stress-related fatigue* — Rhodiola reduced fatigue and improved well-being in repeated-dose studies (NIH/PubMed — Edwards D, 2010).
