Stress Relief

Supplements studied for reducing psychological stress and modulating the stress response. This includes adaptogens — substances that help the body adapt to stressors by regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and cortisol levels. Research focuses on reduction of perceived stress (PSS scores), anxiety symptoms, and salivary/serum cortisol as objective biomarkers. Popular adaptogenic herbs here include Ashwagandha, Rhodiola Rosea, and Panax Ginseng.
