Looking for natural stress relief? Wondering which supplements for stress (or vitamins for stress) are actually safe and effective? In this video, I'll go over a few of the best options on the market and why I think you should keep them in the cupboard.
Whether your stress is coming from work or from home, finding a way to balance your stress levels matters. Chronic stress weakens the immune system and puts real strain on key organs like the heart and brain.
The kind of stress paired with anxiety or fear can also raise the long-term risk for things like high blood pressure, diabetes, panic disorders, heart disease, and depression.
Good news: natural stress relief supplements are generally safe and effective, and they avoid most of the side effects that come with pharmaceutical options.
Here are the four picks our customers (and our team) come back to most.
1. Lively Vitamin Co. Chill Pill
Chill Pill is a stress relief supplement that helps you stay calm without feeling drowsy or sedated. It's a blend of magnolia bark, chamomile, and passionflower (all of which support a balanced cortisol response and gentler sleep), plus L-theanine to give your mind a break from overthinking, and 5-HTP, which is a precursor to serotonin.
2. Lively Vitamin Co. Adrenal Boost
If you want to support your body's ability to manage stress over the long haul, the adrenal glands are where to start. Adrenal Boost is a blend of nutrients and adaptogenic herbs, including rhodiola, schisandra, Korean panax ginseng, and ashwagandha.
The goal is steadier cortisol levels and a more even energy curve through the day, instead of the spike-and-crash pattern that comes with running on caffeine and adrenaline.
3. Terry Naturally Saffron Lift + Curcumin
Our third pick is Saffron Lift + Curcumin by Terry Naturally. It pairs two herbs that have both been studied for emotional balance: saffron and curcumin (a turmeric extract). The curcumin in this one is blended with turmeric essential oil to help with absorption.
It's a good option if your stress shows up as low mood or restless sleep — saffron has a track record for both.
4. CBD for stress
The fourth option I want to mention is CBD. Customers ask us about it constantly, especially the ones who've tried herbs and vitamins and want something that works on a different system. CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating compound from the hemp plant. It works through the body's endocannabinoid system, which is one of the systems that helps regulate stress response.
If you want to look at our options, head to our CBD for Anxiety collection, or browse CBD gummies if you'd rather start with something easy to dose. We carry brands we know well, including Charlotte's Web, Plus CBD, and Wild Theory CBD Co. If you've never tried CBD before and you're on prescription medication, contact us first — we can help you pick a starting strength that won't interact with what you're already taking.
Which one is right for you?
Quick rule of thumb on which to try first:
- If your stress shows up mentally (racing thoughts, can't wind down at night), Chill Pill or CBD is usually a good first try.
- If you feel physically drained and burnt out, start with Adrenal Boost.
- If your stress is tangled up with low mood or sleep, Saffron Lift + Curcumin is worth a look.
- You can also browse the full stress and mood support collection if none of these are quite right.
