Caution In Taking Bioprotectant Supplement For Stress Relief

By Nancy Gardner


Doctors and patients need to understand that supplements are not the first remedy to turn to in times of depression or anxiety. They do nothing in addressing the real cause of stress. Just as it is with normal medications, bioprotectant supplement for stress relief should be used with caution and one needs to inform the health care professional when using this product.

Effective treatment is realized through identification of its root cause. Sometimes, lifestyle change is all is needed to eliminate depression. Some other things which may be tried include exercises, tai chi, controlled breathing, yoga and meditation. Unlike other medical conditions, there are no laboratory tests to diagnose stress; it is in the mind realm. That is why in confronting it, the tools used should have been mindfully selected.

If planning to start taking bioprotectant supplements, getting to know the various types available and their potency is important. That is why a professional in integrative medicine or any other person familiar with the products should be sought out for advice before purchasing the supplements. Many of these products have sedative effects and thus are not to be taken with alcohol or any other sedative agent.

For sleep to be effective, the muscles have to be completely relaxed. That is why some of these supplements are all about providing the nutrients needed by body muscles to relax. The common ones in this category include fatty acids which are essential, magnesium, vitamin C and the B complex vitamins.

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 made from passionflower, skullcap, hops, valerian and chamomile is very effective in depression reduction too. They promote effective sleep. American and Korean Ginseng have been commended on their reduction of the levels of the stress hormone in the body. This can follow immediately after a stressful event happens or during prolonged stress periods. Its effectiveness is directly proportional to the amount of time it is used.

Lemon balm is a supplement derived from the mint family. It goes a long way in improving mood and also induces a feeling of calmness. The product is relatively safe but it is needed in large quantities to get results. Also it should be taken up to three times in a day.

Passion flower is a very effective supplement in lowering anxiety. About 45 drops should be taken on a daily basis. It works the same as diazepam. Research is still on going about its safety for use in human beings and also its potency levels.
