Frequently asked questions

1. What’s the best supplement for anxiety relief?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but supplements like Silexan (lavender oil), KSM-66 Ashwagandha, and L-Theanine have the strongest evidence from human clinical trials. Each works slightly differently — some calm the body, others the mind. The best option depends on your symptoms and preferences.

2. How long do supplements take to work?

Some fast-acting options like L-Theanine can take effect within 30–60 minutes. Others, like Ashwagandha or Silexan, require daily use for 2–6 weeks to show full benefits. Patience and consistency are key.

3. Can I take multiple supplements together?

Yes, but it's smart to “stack” thoughtfully. For example, Magnesium + L-Theanine is a common calming combo. However, always check for interactions — especially if you’re on prescription medications — and start with one supplement at a time to gauge effects.

4. Are these supplements safe to take with antidepressants or anxiety meds?

Some are, but interactions can occur, especially with SSRIs, benzodiazepines, or blood pressure meds. For example, Kava and Rhodiola may not mix well with certain prescriptions. Always talk to a healthcare provider before combining.

5. Why are some of these supplements not more widely known?

Many have strong research behind them but are under-promoted due to lack of big pharma backing. Others, like Silexan, are widely used in Europe (especially Germany) but less common in English-speaking markets.

6. How do I know what dosage to take?

We base our recommendations on clinical trial doses, not marketing fluff. For example, studies on Silexan used 80 mg/day, and KSM-66 Ashwagandha often ranges from 300–600 mg/day. The ebook includes research-backed dosages and real product examples.

7. Will I feel drowsy or sedated?

Most supplements reviewed here aim for calm without sedation. L-Theanine, Rhodiola, and Magnesium L-Threonate tend to support focus and relaxation without fogginess. Kava, however, can be more sedating depending on the dose.

8. What’s the difference between stress and anxiety supplements?

Stress-targeting supplements (like Ashwagandha or Rhodiola) often regulate the stress response and cortisol levels. Anxiety-specific options (like Silexan or L-Theanine) target the nervous system and mood. Some do both.

9. Can I trust natural supplements to actually work?

We only include supplements that have human clinical trial evidence showing real effects — not just animal studies or vague marketing claims. You’ll find links to studies, typical results, and honest pros/cons in the guide.

10. Where can I find these supplements?

We provide direct links to Amazon and other reputable sources — always selecting brands that match the exact doses and forms used in clinical trials, where possible. Avoid underdosed “proprietary blends.”
