Benefits Of Bioprotectant Supplement For Stress Relief

By Nancy Gardner


In times of stress, medical professionals and patients should not go running to supplements. Depression management requires addressing of the underlying causative factors; something supplements just mask. Another thing to note is that bioprotectant supplement for stress relief is not any different from other conventional medication and the same caution exercised in use of normal drugs applies to the products too.

The most effective way of dealing with stress is identification of the cause and addressing it. At times, this may require some adjustments in lifestyle and then everything else falls in place. Sometimes you can try meditation, exercises, yoga, tai chi and controlled breathing in dealing with stressful happenings. This is not something that can be picked by a medical scan or a laboratory test. It is on the mind. That is why the modalities employed in its management should be carefully thought about.

Before using herbal supplements, one should understand that the content and quality varies widely. That is why they must be taken after consultation with a practitioner of integrative medicine or any other expert who is familiar with the products. To note is that because many of these supplements are sedatives, they should not be taken with alcohol or other sedative conventional drugs.

For one to sleep, the muscles should be relaxed completely. That is why some these supplements just contain elements which provide the muscles with the necessary nutrients to get to a relaxed state. The elements included are magnesium, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C and the fatty acids made in the human body.

Sleep happens gradually as one gets too tired to stay awake. A sleeping hormone termed as melatonin is released inside the body when a person is in a dark room. However, its production can be affected by aspects of age, daytime naps and crossing time zones. During such times, it would be fine to take a supplement that increases the levels of melatonin in the body.

Herbal tea containing chamomile, hops, passionflower, skullcap and valerian are very effective in promotion of sleep. According to research, American and Korean Ginseng are great in lowering the level of cortisol in the body which is a depressing hormone. This can either be during long durations of stress or immediately following stressful incidents. This supplement produces a better outcome if taken for long periods of time rather than just a short while. Its effectiveness can be enhanced when taken with another type of supplement that helps keep stress hormone level at healthy levels.

Lemon balm is another type of a supplement which is an extra from the mint class. It induces calmness when taken and improves the mood. However, one has to take it in large quantities for better results. It should be taken two to three times in a day. Through research, its safety for use by human beings has been confirmed.

Passionflower is a bioprotectant supplement which should be taken by people having anxiety attacks. About 45 drops are needed daily. It works the same as diazepam in relieving stress. However, more research should be done on its effectiveness and safety as the available data is on laboratory tests.
