Do Natural Supplements Help Anxiety

What natural supplements help anxiety to gradually go away?

A safe and effective anti-anxiety remedy is Rescue Remedy. It is available in any health food store and comes in different forms like drops, candies, spray. It is a flower essence remedy from Dr. Bach. You can take as much as you need, there is no upper limit or toxicity. It is safe for kids and pets as well. It will help with low grade anxiety as well as anxious episodes. However, to resolve your anxiety in the longterm, seek some qualified help. It’s worth it to be free of anxiety.

Supplements for Anxiety, what to pick?

Looks like you have already done a lot of research. Since you say that your boyfriend has anxiety and also needs help focusing, I would suggest L-Theanine and vitamin-B complex.

Here is a brief description of each of the supplements that you have mentioned: -

i) L-Theanine: A natural and safe compound extracted from green tea. It increases GABA and dopamine levels in the brain, and produces a relaxing effect in about 30 minutes. The effects can last for about 8 hours. It increases alpha-waves in the brain, which are found during attentive but relaxed behavior. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.

ii) GABA: GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Substances (such as Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, and other anti-anxiety drugs or herbs) that increase the available amount of GABA in the central nervous system have relaxing, anti-anxiety, anti-convulsive, and sedative effects. Unfortunately, pure GABA supplements DO NOT cross the blood-brain barrier at significant levels, and may not be of much help. However, a substance called "picamilon" is able to cross the blood–brain barrier and gets converted into GABA and niacin. In theory picamilon might produce an anxiolytic effect.

iii) 5-HTP is sold over the counter as a dietary supplement for use as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and sleep aid. However, there are risks and side effects associated with 5-HTP. For example, when combined with MAOIs or SSRIs (e.g. Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, etc), 5-HTP can cause acute serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening drug reaction.

iv) Vitamin B Complex: Essential for a healthy nervous system. May or may not help anxiety, but taking it in the recommended doses is not going to hurt. Low levels of vitamin B6 is associated with depression, confusion, and a weak immune system.

In short, I would suggest L-Theanine, vitamin-B complex, and cognitive behavior therapy.

What are the best natural supplements for stress/anxiety?

I am not able to answer your question but I do think I can help you understand the stress/anxiety looking from a different perspective.What you are asking for is healthy method of coping with stress and anxiety and good job on that rather than looking for ways to avoid it.Part of what makes both of those things so difficult is, if we allow, is they can take a powerful hold on us. So for me it was far more important to find the source of the problem rather than cope with it because this allowed me to take my power back over those feelings.Things that are super helpful getting the ball rolling is getting it out of your head by writing and talking with people you trust. This can help you look for the root of the anxiety or the cause of the stress.For additional help I used hypnotherapy and continue to work with my own personal coach now. If you’d be interested in knowing more about coaching I’d be happy to offer you a trial session.

What all natural supplements work best for ocd and anxiety?

Have you ever heard of GABA? Below I will provide you some links to check it out!!

What are some supplements in Singapore that can help with anxiety and depression?

I found SAM-e helpful for severe depression. That is to say, it boosted my mood enough that I was able to do something beside lay in bed for days wanting to die. And it doesn’t make me physically anxious, unlike some other meds. But it is ridiculously expensive for OTC. (I just searched for it and it looks like there are more brands and lots more stores stocking it with good discounts. No longer US$1.50 per pill.)SAM-e ( S-Adenosyl Methionine )Some people find 5-HTP helpful, but it made me physically anxious so I didn’t take it more than once. But that doesn’t mean it will make you physically anxious. Benadryl/Unisom has the similar effect for me—instead of making me sleepy I turn into a hyperactive, muscle-twitching mess. People react differently.

Natural supplements to relive a very bad anxiety disorder?

I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?

I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!

Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose

The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.

carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

What are the best natural supplements that I can buy at CVS for my anxiety?

Actually, rather than a supplement you might try EFT tapping. Human bodies actually have electrical circuits running through them (nervous system) and tapping on certain areas "resets" them. That will help calm you. If you choose to take a supplement too, Vit B complex helps calm you as well as St. John's Wort. Another wonderful calming tools is an EMF protection device like a qlink or a shuzi. They have a faster effect than any supplement.
