Stress is a daily part of modern life. Some stress is even positive – like planning an event or getting ready for a trip – but the majority of stress isn’t fun at all.
Whether it’s trying to get yourself or your family out the door in the morning, battling traffic, trying to make a deadline at work, or something significantly more serious, we all deal with stress daily. And it’s the chronic, cumulative nature of stress that can lead to negative effects on our health – like anxiety, insomnia, depression, and impaired immunity– all of which impact our quality of life. Prescription medication can be prescribed to help manage symptoms of anxiety, but these can come with the risk of side-effects.
Daytime Zen is a natural health product that contains a precise combination of ingredients to help the body deal with stress and support cognitive (brain) health, without scary side effects.
L-theanine is an amino acid extracted from green tea, that helps reduce the perception of stress and promotes alert relaxation and mental focus.
Ashwagandha, sometimes referred to as “Indian ginseng” is one of the most important herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine. In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is characterized as “Rasayana” meaning the promotion of good health and long life-span. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and return to homeostasis. It also has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Rhodiola, also known as “golden root” is another adaptogenic herb with stress-relieving properties. Rhodiola is thought to balance cortisol (the stress hormone) in the body and has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as by the Vikings, and by Sherpas in the Himalayas. In addition to helping support stress relief, Rhodiola can also help fight physical and mental fatigue and improve brain function.
Bacopa is the third adaptogenic herb in Daytime Zen. Also used in Ayurvedic medicine, Bacopa helps the body deal with stress, reduces feelings of anxiety and also can support better memory function. In India it is used for stress, Alzheimer’s and even Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), with none of the side effects associated with some prescription medications.
