How it works
Stress, particularly prolonged stress, places a big
load on your body, especially your nervous system and
adrenal glands.
Adrenal glands secrete adrenaline and other
stress-related hormones in response to mental and
emotional stress. These hormones cause an increase in
heart and breathing rates, more blood being supplied to
the muscles and brain, reduced production of digestive
secretions and increased blood sugar levels. Constant
and long-term stress can result in the adrenal glands
becoming exhausted leaving the individual tired and
'stressed out'.
Withania has traditionally been used
as a balancing herb for the nervous system. It can help
to deal with the symptoms of nervous exhaustion which
can result from stress and overactivity, as it has a
calming and relaxing effect. Withania has also
traditionally been used as a tonic for the libido. It
contains choline, a nutrient that is important for
memory and learning function.
Vitamin C, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, zinc and
magnesium are nutrients necessary for the
production of adrenal hormones. During times of stress
the body's need for these nutrients may increase.
B vitamins are necessary for nervous
system health and the nervous system has an increased
requirement for them during times of stress. The vitamin
B group are water soluble vitamins that are not stored
by the body in large amounts therefore regular
consumption of these vitamins in the diet is necessary.
Magnesium and vitamin B6 may assist
with mood imbalances associated with the menstrual
cycle.
Zinc levels can be decreased during
times of stress. Zinc is an important antioxidant and is
required for the detoxification of chemicals including
alcohol
