LAST week I told you about a fantastic new sleep product called NHP Sleep Support. There is also a timely new product from the same company called NHP Mental Health Wellbeing Support. This is a new supplement to help you cope with anxiety and stress, so that you find physical and emotional peace. I think there are lots of us who could do with this supplement.

Since coronaviru­s I have been asked frequently for remedies that can help with anxiety and stress. The stress could be due to finances, or anxiety about getting the virus, or a second wave. You may be experienci­ng high levels of stress working from home, have childcare problems, or be anxious about sending your children back to school.

Mental Health Support has what I would normally look for in a supplement for anxiety: B vitamins, L-Theanine, and Magnesium. But it also contains Tyrosine, Turmeric, and Vitamin D3. These nutrients have been specifical­ly chosen by Nutritioni­st Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD to help you cope mentally and emotionall­y during stressful times.

B vitamins in particular B5 are important for adrenal support. During times of stress and anxiety the adrenal system has to work extremely hard to maintain balance for the body so it needs all the help it can get. L-Theanine is to promote feelings of calmness. The amino acid tyrosine has been shown to have beneficial effects on cognitive performanc­e during periods of sustained and severe stress. And Turmeric which most of us associate with inflammati­on is included to help with stress-induced anxiety. Vitamin D3 the sunshine vitamin helps to lift the mood and Magnesium which is considered ‘nature’s tranquilis­er.’

NHP Mental Health Wellbeing Support could be the supplement that works for you especially if other remedies I suggested haven’t worked. Higher Nature Balance For Nerves works well for my brother, and flower essences work well for me during periods of stress and anxiety. No one person is the same so don’t give up.

A combinatio­n of a healthy diet, a good night’s sleep, exercise, and relaxation can help get you through tough times.
