Ingredients explained
Ashwagandha extract (KSM-66) (Withania somnifera) (root)
Ashwagandha root extract is studied for modulating the stress response by influencing cortisol signalling and supporting a balanced hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
Caution: May cause drowsiness in some people; avoid if pregnant or trying to conceive as advised on label.
Asian Ginseng extract (Panax ginseng) (root)
Panax ginseng contains ginsenosides that may support energy metabolism and help the body adapt to stress by influencing neuroendocrine signalling.
Caution: Can be stimulating; avoid use near bedtime and be cautious with caffeine.
Eleuthero extract (Eleutherococcus senticosus) (root)
Eleuthero is traditionally used as an adaptogen that may help the body cope with stress by supporting adrenal and nervous system function.
Caution: May affect alertness; avoid late-day use if sensitive to stimulatory herbs.
Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant cofactor in adrenal and neurotransmitter pathways and may support a balanced stress response.
Caution: High intakes can cause digestive discomfort in some individuals; take with food if needed.
Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate)
Vitamin B6 in its active form supports enzymes involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and energy metabolism, which may aid stress resilience.
Caution: Large doses may cause tingling or numbness over time; follow the suggested use.
How they work together
Adaptogen botanicals such as ashwagandha, ginseng, and eleuthero act on neuroendocrine pathways to help the body respond to daily stress, while vitamin C and active B vitamins supply cofactors for energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis. Zinc and astragalus round out the formula by supporting general resilience and immune-related functions.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not use if pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
Who should be cautious: People with high blood pressure, heart concerns, or on stimulant-sensitive regimens may wish to be cautious due to ginseng and eleuthero. Those with hormone-sensitive conditions may wish to use caution with ashwagandha and liquorice. People with kidney concerns or on low-sodium plans may wish to be cautious with liquorice. Those taking diabetes medications may monitor for changes in blood sugar with ginseng. People taking blood pressure medications, anticoagulants, or sedatives may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider. If combining with medications that may interact with these botanicals, it is generally advised to consult a healthcare provider first.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
