Stress is a fact of daily life and is the result of both the good and bad things that happen. Too much stress can cause serious health concerns, but there are many ways of dealing with stress that can reduce your risk. Good stress, such as winning a game or going on vacation, can make you feel more involved and energized. But the negative effects or too much stress associated with being under pressure can affect your health. Signs that you may be over-stressed include:
- Feelings of irritability, sadness or guilt
- Change in sleep patterns
- Change in weight or appetite
- Difficulty in concentrating or making decisions
- Negative thinking
- Loss of interest, enjoyment or energy in something you used to enjoy
- Restlessness
There are many approaches you can take to minimizing your stress, most notably talking about your stress and creating a realistic plan to resolve your problem. In addition to these, there are ingredient solutions which can support you in times of stress.
Maizinol® + Sensoril Ashwagandha® – Better Together
Maizinol® is a clinically-proven natural sleep aid ingredient that contains proprietary standardized natural compounds known to bind to melatonin receptors and produce melatonin-like effects for a better sleep quality. Maizinol® was found to increase the incidence and duration of sleep in a scientifically validated pre-clinical in vivo model and protocol comparable to that of melatonin. In addition to its primary function of sleep improvement, Maizinol® also makes improvements in stress. A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled IRB approved study proved that Maizinol® was shown to be efficacious in reducing a stress hormone – cortisol in humans. It is for this reason that Maizinol® and Sensoril Ashwagandha® make a strong combination. The primary function of Sensoril Ashwagandha® is to adapt to help the body cope with everyday stress by reducing cortisol. 16 clinical studies and ongoing research proves that in addition to stress Sensoril Ashwagandha® enhances focus, improves sleep, boosts energy, and improves mood. Therefore Maizinol® and Sensoril Ashwagandha® are a dream team when combined as they work together to offer a strong solution in both sleep and stress.
