Stress Supplements: What To Take For Stress?

While certain types of stress that last a short duration can be good for you, most people think of the bad kind of stress—the one that makes you feel emotionally and physically tense. The bad kind of stress is not only associated with anger, nervousness, and frustration, but also with medium- and longer-term negative health outcomes such as poor sleep, loss of sexual ability/ desire, high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, to name just a few.

Because stress is so common, supplements for stress have been extensively studied, and you can find promising support for a number of them in peer-reviewed literature. Stress relief supplements like Rhodiola Rosea are adaptogens that may help your body regulate stress if you consistently use them. Anti-stress supplements such as l-theanine, which some consider a nootropic, may have acute stress-reducing properties.

The Unwinder is dedicated to publishing content that helps you make informed decisions about the supplements you put into your body. Our goal is to give you a comprehensive analysis of the supplement space and the peer-reviewed literature, so you can decide what the best stress relief supplements are for you.
