Finally, a Natural Vitamin and Herbal Product Line Specifically for People Experiencing Stress

Understand how specific natural Vitamins, Minerals and Adaptogenic Herbs can support you during stressful times in your life.

Dear Friend:

I'm Bob Miller, a Traditional Naturopath, from Ephrata, PA. Every day, I work clients in my office to help them find ways to use natural herbal products to deal with the negative effects of stress.

When you are under stress, you have very specific nutritional needs. When under stress, many nutrients are depleted.

To help people under stress, I developed my own "Tranquilities" line of twelve vitamin and herbal products to provide unique nutritional support for persons experiencing stress.

I picked the supplements that address the most common concerns with stress. On this page, I will help you understand these supplements and how they may help you during your time of stress.

To learn about the three phases of stress and how these nutritional and herbal products can support you, subscribe to my no charge e-course:

GABA 500 mg + B-6 2 mg

GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is a non-essential amino acid found mainly in the human brain and eyes. It is considered an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it regulates brain and nerve cell activity by inhibiting the number of neurons firing in the brain.

GABA is referred to as the brain's natural calming agent. By inhibiting over-stimulation of the brain, GABA may help promote relaxation and ease nervous tension.

Gaba is considered a Nervine, which strengthens the nervous system, inhibits the sympathetic nerves and stimulates parasympathetic nerves to have a calming or relaxing effect. This would be appropriate to use in Phase 1 and the early stages of phase 2 stress response.

Historical and Traditional Uses: anxiety, poor concentration.

This would be appropriate to use in Phase 1 and the early stages of phase 2 stress response. Click picture or GABA label to see the bottle label.

Valerian Root 500 mg - 100 Caps

People from just about every culture on earth have occasionally faced restless, sleepless nights. Fortunately, natural relief is available in just about every corner of the globe, from Valerian root.

This 100% natural, safe and non-addictive herbal extract works in the brain by inhibiting the nerve impulses that prevent the body from attaining pure, uninterrupted slumber.

In addition, the majority of Valerian users report feeling refreshed upon waking – free of drowsiness, and ready to face the day!Valerian has the following properties:

• Antispasmodic - may help relax or prevent muscle cramping or muscle spasms.
• Relaxant - reduces tension and helps muscles relax
• Sedative - Sedates the nervous system and has a calming effect on the body.

Kava Kava 250 mg - 100 Caps

Can’t sleep? Need to relax? Stressed out? And you haven’t tried Kava yet?

Since its introduction, users have raved over this 100% organic sedative herb, and its ability to encourage a natural state of relaxation. It gets its power from high concentrations of kavalactones present in the plant’s thick roots.

Kavalactones have been shown in many studies to promote a calming effect on the body’s limbic system – a region of the brain that regulates emotion. Kava-Kava is known to have the properties of antispasmodic (relaxes muscles) relaxant and sedative.

This may be of use in Phase 1 of stress or the early stages of Phase 2. Historical Uses – anxiety, backache, nervous exhaustion, cramps and spasms, insomnia, nervous exhaustion.

Adaptogens to Build Energy and Tonify the Body

Panax Ginseng 520 mg - 100 Caps

Panax Ginseng, also known as Korean Ginseng is both an adaptogen and tonic, so it has more strengthening properties than the other ginsengs.  

It has been used historically for acute stress, anxiety, depression, chronic weakness, fatigue, and hypertension.

This herb could be used in all phases of stress, since it both builds you up and relaxes at the same time.

It is of most use in Phase 3, to give energy. Use along with Rhodiola.

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) - 60 Vcaps®

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is indigenous to the Arctic and Alpine regions of Europe, Asia and America and has long been used as a tonic by many cultures, including the Ancient Greeks.

Rhodiolia has traditionally been used as a tonic and stimulant to increase indurance, memory and productivity.

Clinical studies have demonstrated it assists in the alleviation of fatigue and an improvement in mental work capacity and accuracy. Use together with Panax Ginseng for maximum benefit. Very useful in the late states of Phase 2 and Phase 3 (exhaustion)

American Ginseng  - 100 Caps

American Ginseng is both an adaptogen to support you and build you up while at the same time a nervine to relax you.

It has been used traditionally and historically for panic attacks, poor digestion, lack of endurance, fatigue, lack of energy, stress and wasting (losing weight)

Eleuthero 500 mg - 250 Caps

Eleuthero Root (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is known as an adaptogen, meaning it helps to protect against the effects of physical and mental stress.

The Eleuthero roots used in these capsules are carefully picked for their high Eleutheroside content.  Eleutherosides are the active components in Eleuthero.

Eleuthero has traditionally and historically been used for improving mental performance, physical performance, coping with occupational stress and for exhaustion, insomnia and mild depression. 

Ashwaganda 500 mg - 250 Caps

I saved the best for last, as this is my all around favorite herbal product. The reported properties for Ashwaganda are Tonic (for energy), Adaptogen (to build energy and stamina), a mild sedative, anti-inflammatory and immune modulating. (balances the immune system)

In has historically been used for insomnia, to promote learning and memory, any conditions made worse by stress and enhancing immune function.

It has been traditionally been used for providing fresh energy and vigor for a system that is “worn out.”

Finally, any nutritional program should contain a good multi-vitamin. No matter what herbs you want to add for stress, you should start with this.

Foundational Supplements

 Additional Nutrition

If you are finding yourself under any kind of stress, (low, moderate or severe) more nutrition than a multiple vitamin can provide may be necessary.  

Royal Jelly 1000 mg - 60 Gels 

Royal Jelly is a natural source of many nutrients.  Royal Jelly is the only food for the Queen Bee, and it enables her to outlive worker bees thirty fold! 

The Queen Bee is also very fertile, laying up to 2,000 eggs each day throughout her life.

The exclusive food of the queen bee is often referred to as the longevity food since the queen bee, although genetically identical to worker bees, outlives them by a factor of 40 to 1.

This food contains the greatest known concentration of pantothenic acid, the anti aging vitamin, which may reverse imbalances in the body's chemistry.

Hormonal and chemical imbalances may be causes of stress, anxiety, and overeating. 

Some of the nutrients in Royal Jelly are:

• B complex vitamins
• Amino acids (building blocks of protein)
• Minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc

These nutrients, along with the other elements of Royal Jelly are in perfect balance because they are naturally occurring, the way nature intended.

One of the reasons Royal Jelly is so precious is it can't be duplicated in a laboratory; it can only be hand harvested from beehives.

Do not use if allergic to bees or allergic reactions to bee stings.
