Research-backed Nutrients to Help Manage Stress Level

Did you know that there are nutrients that can help keep stress levels in check? 

When we’re stressed, our cortisol levels increase and this can have a negative impact on our health. Cortisol is a hormone that is released by the adrenal gland in response to stress. This hormone can have a negative impact on our health if levels become too high.*†

When it comes to stress, there are a few key things to keep in mind. One of the most common causes of stress is work-related pressure.

According to a study by the American Psychological Association, 44% of Americans are reporting that their stress levels have increased over the past five years. 

These include concerns about money, work, and the economy top the list. Other sources of stress can include financial concerns, family responsibilities, and health problems.*†

Vitamins and micronutrients play a significant biochemical role in maintaining cognitive processes within the brain. Essential nutrients B vitamins, multivitamins, and other super nutrients like ashwagandha can help regulate cortisol levels and keep us feeling calm and relaxed.*†

Let’s discuss the benefits of these nutrients and how they can help you manage stress naturally!

When it comes to reducing stress levels, vitamin B is a key player.

If you’re feeling stressed out, it’s important to take care of yourself both mentally and physically. This nutrient is essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system, and it can also help reduce stress levels and promote relaxation.*†

Vitamin B can be found in many different foods, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, nuts, and seeds. If you’re not getting enough of this nutrient from your diet, you may want to consider taking a vitamin B supplement.*†

Don't Miss the Multis

Multivitamins are another key nutrient when it comes to keeping stress levels low. This is because they contain a variety of different vitamins and minerals that are essential for good health. When we’re stressed, our bodies use up a lot of nutrients, which can leave us feeling depleted.*

A review of 8 studies involving 1,292 people found that taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement improved several aspects of mood, including stress, anxiety, and energy. By taking a multivitamin every day, you can ensure that you’re getting all the nutrients you need to stay healthy and keep your stress levels in check.*†

Multivitamins also contain B vitamins, which are essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system and reducing stress levels.* 

So if you’re looking for a way to reduce your stress levels naturally, consider taking a multivitamin every day. It’s a simple way to get all the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and feel its best!*

Ashwagandha: The Ancient Herb

Ashwagandha works by helping to regulate cortisol levels. When cortisol levels become too high, it can have a negative impact on our health. By taking ashwagandha, you can help keep your cortisol levels in check and reduce the amount of stress you’re feeling.* 

In one study on the stress-relieving effects of ashwagandha, researchers randomized 60 individuals with mild stress to receive 240 mg of a standardized ashwagandha extract or a placebo daily for 60 days.*†

Compared with the placebo, supplementing with ashwagandha was strongly associated with greater reductions in stress, anxiety, and depression. Ashwagandha was also linked to a 23% reduction in morning levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.*†

Not only does ashwagandha help reduce stress, but it also has a host of other health benefits. It’s an excellent source of antioxidants, which can help protect your body from free radical damage.

Important Vitamins Women Should Take To Feel Their Best

When it comes to nutrients it can be difficult to know which ones to take, how often, and how much is right for you.

After all, daily habits have a big impact on what the body requires to operate at its highest level – things like diet, exercise, and the ever-growing “to-do list” all play a role in overall nutrition. But with so many supplements to choose from, we’ve made things a little easier by putting together some of our top picks. Let’s take a look…

Balance Hormones and Stress

Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. According to a March 2022 ValuePenguin survey, 92% of women feel stressed at least one day in a given week, up from 84% last year. Living with frequent stress can wreak havoc on the body, both physically and emotionally. Some common symptoms of stress might include:*†

  • Headaches
  • High blood pressure
  • Diminished sex drive
  • Weakened immune response… just to name a few

Luckily, there are natural solutions to help ease stress levels and support mental health.*

One of the most popular is called Ashwagandha, a well-known herb in the alternative medicine Ayurveda and has been used for thousands of years to relieve stress, increase energy levels, and improve concentration.* †

Rhodiola Extract is an herb whose roots are known as adaptogens(things that help your body adapt to stress when consumed) and is well known to help support things like anxiety, fatigue, and depression. †

Our Adrenal Health formula contains therapeutic amounts of both Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Extract for optimal potency and effectiveness.*

“Adrenal Health made a huge difference in my energy levels. Over the last 2-3 years, my longtime desiccated thyroid meds were re-formulated, and my blood results and energy were all over the place. Finally this year, I started using a new version of the desiccated thyroid meds, and blood results got better but still not quite balanced energy. Then a local natural health store recommended Emerald Adrenal, saying she always heard great results from her customers. And within days of taking this product, my energy levels were "back to normal." Balanced throughout the day. Yes! Thank you Emerald!”

Lasting Energy Levels

If you’re like most people, you probably think of B vitamins as being important for energy. And while they do play a role in keeping your energy levels up, that’s not all they do! In fact, B vitamins are essential for keeping your body healthy overall. Let’s take a closer look at some of the specific benefits of these nutrients.*

One of the most important things B vitamins do is help your body convert food into energy. They do this by helping to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins so that your cells can use them for fuel. B vitamins also play a role in keeping your nervous system functioning properly. They help to produce myelin, which is the substance that covers and protects your nerve cells.*†

B vitamins are also important for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. They help your body produce collagen, which is a protein that gives these tissues their strength and structure.*

Our Vitamin B Complex, B-Healthy, has therapeutic amounts of Coenzymated Methyl Folate and the activated forms of B Vitamins to help Energy and Stress-Related Fatigue.*

I have been taking this B-Healthy supplement for almost a month (I wanted to wait to write a review). I feel better & have more energy than I used to. I also noticed my hair is growing faster & so are my nails, they are stronger and haven't been breaking as much. I didn't take it for that reason, but it's an added benefit for sure!

Overall Health

Did you know that women have different nutritional needs than men? This is why it’s important for women to take a multivitamin specifically designed for them.*

In fact, all women can benefit from taking a multivitamin on a daily basis. Multivitamins provide your body with essential nutrients that you may not be getting enough of from your diet. This can be especially important if you don’t have a varied diet or if you’re not eating as many fruits and vegetables as you should.*†

One of the main benefits of taking a women’s multivitamin is to help to fill in the nutritional gaps that are often found in our diets. Even if you eat a healthy diet, there are still nutrients that your body may not be getting enough of. By taking a multivitamin, you can ensure that your body is getting the important nutrients it needs to function properly.*

Our Women’s 1-Daily Multi was formulated for the unique health needs of Women, including Albion® Chelated Minerals, Antioxidants such as PureWay-C® (12-hour Retention), and Sunflower-based Vitamin E (Soy-Free), extra Vitamin B6, extra Calcium, Coenzymated B’s and Methylated Folate. *

For women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and looking for added nutrition, our Prenatal 1-Daily Multi is formulated for the unique health needs of pregnant and lactating women, including Antioxidants such as PureWay-C® (12-hour Retention) and Sunflower-based Vitamin E (Soy-Free), Albion® Chelated Gentle Iron, Coenzymated B’s and a high-potency serving of Methylated Folate.*

Over 46% of People at Risk

Emerald Labs B-Healthy

If you’re a “health nut” like us, you know how beneficial a Vitamin B complex can be to your health.

A complex of vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 is clinically proven to offer us benefits such as:

  • Cell health
  • Better growth of red blood cells
  • Boosted energy levels
  • Good eyesight
  • Healthy brain function
  • Good digestion
  • Healthy appetite
  • Proper nerve function
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Plus many others 
B-Healthy Molecular Image

But, does everyone who takes a Vitamin B complex get these benefits?

Unfortunately, not only everyone – but around 46% of people don’t see any results. Sometimes, they even feel worse. 

Why?

Around half of the population has a specific deficiency, called MTHFR (Methylenetetra- hydrofolate Reductase Deficiency) – which is an inability to convert vitamins B2, B6, and Folic Acid into their usable form. 

In the end, this not only robs them of the benefits of B2 and B6 and Folic Acid – which they aren’t able to metabolize – but it also makes other B Vitamins in the complex useless.

How?

In our bodies, B Vitamins interact with each other to function properly. And, if we change or omit just one of them, it affects the function of other B Vitamins. 

This is why it’s often hard to get B Complex formulas right – as these compounds influence each other in complex ways.

We Have Good News!

Fortunately, our product formulator, Dr. Mark Stengler N.M.D. helped us create a Vitamin B complex that already comes with “CONVERTED”, or coenzymated forms of Vitamins B2 and B6. This way, even if you’re one of the 46% of people – who have Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Deficiency (MTHFR) – you can still get the amazing benefits from all the different B Vitamins he’s included in our B complex.
