Overview

StressAssist combines a comprehensive array of B vitamins, scientifically-backed adaptogens like Ashwagandha (Sensoril) and L-Theanine (Suntheanine), along with other adaptogens and digestive aids. While dosages for key stress-reducing ingredients like Ashwagandha and L-Theanine are within effective ranges, the proprietary blend for other adaptogens (Eleuthero, Rhodiola Rosea) obscures exact concentrations, making it difficult to fully assess their individual efficacy. The B vitamins are generally well-dosed, providing robust support for metabolic and neurological function.

The Good

Utilizes patented and clinically researched forms of L-Theanine (Suntheanine) and Ashwagandha (Sensoril).

Ashwagandha (Sensoril) is dosed within the effective range for stress reduction.

L-Theanine (Suntheanine) is provided at an effective dose for relaxation and mental alertness.

The Bad

Dosages for Eleuthero, Ashwagandha (outside of Sensoril), Rhodiola Rosea, Inositol, and PABA within the 'Proprietary Stress Adaptogenic Compound' blend (300mg total) are unclear and likely underdosed for individual efficacy.

The Sensoril Ashwagandha dose of 50mg is on the lower end of clinically effective dosages, which typically start from 120mg up to 600mg, potentially limiting its stress-reducing benefits.

PABA and Inositol are included in the proprietary blend without clear rationale or sufficient dosing to expect significant effects related to stress.
