Powerful tools for omnipresent stress

In these especially challenging times, who can claim to be free from stress or anxiety?

In this area, the importance of B vitamins no longer needs to be demonstrated. We use them in particular for 2 major needs of our current very demanding lives: to give us energy, because they are directly involved in the production of this within the mitochondria of our cells, and to stabilize our nervous system by promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

B vitamins for our neurotransmitters…

Let us mention in particular the vitamins B9 (folic acid), B12 and B6 involved in the synthesis of serotonin (involved in the regulation of mood), that of norepinephrine (involved in wakefulness, vigilance, selective attention ) and that of GABA (calming effect) or even dopamine (alertness, exploration, search for pleasure).

And for many other functions…

The B5 and B6 duo are highly sought after for our adrenal glands which help us adapt to stress.

In general it will be relevant to choose a mixture of all the B vitamins, as they form a group of water-soluble compounds that work synergistically, helping each other and promoting their respective activities. These vitamins are beneficial in many other cases: metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, maintenance of good levels of cholesterol but also homocysteine ​​(another risk factor for cardiovascular diseases) or the production of red blood cells and fabrics.

The company Sisu , a reference in the Canadian supplement industry, offers us several effective and relevant products:

– B Calm : a B complex as its name suggests, reinforced with an extract of Rhodiola, an adaptogenic plant grown in Siberia which gently normalizes our nervous system, soothes agitation and reduces mental fatigue.

– Magnesium,100 mg or250 mg (in malate form) which is gaining its reputation as it is essential to us: it is 300 reactions in the body! Stress, energy production, pain, etc.

– Stress Relief : a theanine supplement (125mg) to chew, very useful for our neurotransmitters, allowing in particular to silence our hyperactive mind and promoting alpha waves in our brain. The key words are relaxation and well-being! Also available in 250 mg .

Last indication but not least, B vitamins and magnesium also act greatly on our immune system. Another asset at the moment!
