Ingredients for Stress Management

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb used to help the body handle stress. People turn to it to feel calmer, sleep better, and sometimes to nudge exercise performance and male fertility. Think of it as a gentle dial that can turn down stress signals and support recovery over weeks, not days.

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality and continuity
• Enhance athletic performance (strength/endurance)
• Support male fertility (semen parameters)

Evidence

Rhodiola is an alpine adaptogen often used to help the body handle stress and fatigue. Think of it as a gentle “resilience booster” for mind and body—supporting energy, mood, and mental performance when you’re under pressure. Most studies use standardized Rhodiola rosea extracts rich in rosavins and salidroside.

• Ease stress during demanding periods
• Combat mental/physical fatigue to support energy
• Support mood during low mood periods
• Sharpen attention and cognitive performance
• Assist athletic performance under fatigue

Evidence

L‑theanine is the calming amino acid from tea. Think of it as a “noise filter” for your brain—often taking the edge off stress and sharpening attention without sedation. It’s also studied for sleep quality and for blunting stress‑related spikes in blood pressure.

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality
• Enhance focus/attention (often paired with caffeine)
• Support healthy blood pressure response during acute stress
