How to choose a stress and mood supplement

Main ingredient groups

  • Adaptogens: ashwagandha, rhodiola and holy basil are herbs traditionally used to support the body's response to everyday stress. Ashwagandha comes as branded extracts such as KSM-66 (Nutricost, Pure Encapsulations) and Sensoril (Swanson), or as root powder.
  • Amino acids for relaxation: L-theanine, GABA and glycine, for example Swanson L-Theanine, NOW Foods GABA and Thorne Glycine.
  • Mood-focused options: saffron extract, 5-HTP and St. John's Wort, plus Stress B-Complex formulas from Swanson and Thorne, since B vitamins contribute to normal psychological function.
  • Evening options: magnesium glycinate, melatonin, valerian and passion flower from brands such as Solgar, NOW Foods and Thorne.

What to compare on the label

  • Extract type: herbal products should state the plant part, the extract amount and any standardization.
  • Dose per serving: L-theanine usually comes in 100 mg or 200 mg capsules, while melatonin comes in strengths such as 1 mg and 3 mg, as well as time-release forms.
  • Elemental magnesium: check how much elemental magnesium each serving provides, not just the weight of the compound.
  • Format: powders such as NOW Foods GABA Powder make it easy to adjust the serving, while capsules are simpler to carry.

How people typically use them

Follow the serving size on the label. Adaptogens and B-complex formulas are often taken in the morning with food, while magnesium, glycine and melatonin are usually taken in the evening. St. John's Wort, 5-HTP and several herbs can interact with medication, so speak to your doctor or pharmacist first if you take prescription medicines or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
