Additional notes

"Why: B-vitamins are essential for energy metabolism, neurotransmitter production (serotonin, dopamine), and healthy adrenal function. Dosage: Use a high-quality B-complex with activated forms (like methyl-B12 and P-5-P for B6). Tip: Best taken in the morning or early afternoon to support energy and focus. Watch For: If you're sensitive to methylation (MTHFR gene variants), too much methyl-B12 or methylfolate may cause jitteriness—adjust forms as needed."

2.00 Capsules

evening

Additional notes

"Why: Supports nervous system regulation, promotes calm, and helps reduce physical symptoms of stress like muscle tension and restlessness. Dosage: 200–400 mg/day (usually in the evening). Tip: Gentle on the gut, unlike magnesium citrate. Pair with a calming nighttime routine for better sleep and recovery. Bonus: Glycine (its binding amino acid) also supports GABA—your brain’s calming neurotransmitter."

Additional notes

"Why: Critical for immune function, neurotransmitter balance (including serotonin and GABA), and cortisol regulation. Chronic stress depletes zinc. Dosage: 15–30 mg/day (short term), ideally with food. Tip: Look for zinc picolinate or bisglycinate for optimal absorption. Caution: Long-term high doses can interfere with copper absorption. A multi with copper or occasional breaks can help balance this."

Additional notes

"Why: Supports thyroid health, glutathione production (a major antioxidant), and helps the body manage oxidative stress from chronic cortisol output. Dosage: 100–200 mcg/day Note: Don’t overdo selenium—it’s powerful but can be toxic in very high doses over time."

Additional notes

"Why: Chronic stress and adrenal activation can deplete sodium and potassium, leaving you feeling fatigued, dizzy, or wired-and-tired. Dosage: Add 1 tsp of Celtic sea salt (with lemon if desired) to water for a natural stress-supporting hydration boost. Note: Don’t fear sodium—under stress, your body may need more, not less (especially if you're low-carb or drinking lots of water)."
