Anxiety and Stress

ACCENTUS Accentus (withania somnifera extract) is a versatile “adaptogen” from the Indian Ayurvedic system that helps support physical and mental balance when we feel frazzled. Modern science suggests that Accentus may support calm moods by activating GABA receptors & reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol.1 A study on animals found the active ingredients in Accentus have comparable effects to both the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam and the anti-depressant imipramine.2  Experiments on humans suggest that Accentus may support healthy energy levels and normal thyroid function. 3,4 References https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3573577/ (cortisol reduced 27.6%) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11194174 (lorazepam and imipramine) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4687242/ (cardio exercise endurance) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28829155 (anxiety naturopath) PHYTO-MELATONIN We take dried St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) and feverfew (Tanace
