Sort

Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses.

Stress is a situation that triggers a particular biological response. When you perceive a threat or a major challenge, chemicals and hormones surge throughout your body.

Stress triggers your fight-or-flight response in order to fight the stressor or run away from it. Typically, after the response occurs, your body should relax. Too much constant stress can have negative effects on your long-term health.

The first of its kind, Ultra Stress B Complex incorporates coenzyme (active form) B vitamins, functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline, all enhanced with 425 mg of vitamin C.

Ultra Stress B Complex incorporates vitamin C and coenzyme (active form) B vitamins, functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline. Vitamin C and B vitamins support the body’s nervous system to deal more effectively with stress.

The B‑complex vitamins are named so because they are found together as a complex in food. They have complementary actions and work together in the body. B vitamins are responsible for a myriad of physiological functions which include the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins; the formation of red blood cells; and the maintenance of good health.

B‑complex deficiencies are widespread. One study at Tufts University suggests that over 39% of people had low values of vitamin B12. B vitamins are water-soluble, and any excess amount is immediately eliminated through urine. Since none is stored, it is important to have a consistent supply.

New Roots Herbal Ultra Stress B Complex uses coenzyme (active form) B vitamins for maximum absorption. The results are impressive: a fast-acting B complex that does what B vitamins are supposed to do—actively support the mind, mood, nervous, cardiovascular, and digestive systems.

When we feel stress, the body responds as though we are being chased by a lion. It jumps into a ‘fight-or-flight’ state and releases a cocktail of hormones from the adrenal glands, including cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones redirect blood flow to large muscle groups, increase our breathing and heart rate, and give us a boost of energy. This response is meant to help us survive when we’re threatened, and it would be very helpful if we were actually face-to-face with a lion.

The problem is that the body can’t tell the difference between being chased by a lion and being stuck in traffic or facing a tight deadline, so it responds in the same way. When we’re faced with stressful situations day in and day out, the body thinks we’re being chased by a lion all the time.

The opposite of being in fight-or-flight (sympathetic nervous system state) is called ‘rest-and-digest’ (parasympathetic nervous system state). The body cannot exist in both states at the same time, and it should only enter fight-or-flight on rare occasions. However, most of us face a multitude of stressors each day, and burning the candle at both ends takes a toll on our mental and physical health.

During the fight-or-flight response, the body takes the following actions:

Sends extra blood flow toward large muscles and the heart, to help us run or fight the lion. This increases our risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke¹.
Takes blood flow away from digestion and detoxification organs. This causes indigestion, heart burn, bloating, and can trigger flare-ups of digestive conditions like IBD and IBS¹.
Suppresses the immune system, because dealing with a lion is more pressing than fighting an infection¹.
Breaks down muscle and increases fat storage to stockpile energy for future lion encounters. This causes us to gain weight, especially around the abdomen¹.
Reroutes blood flow in the brain away from areas responsible for learning and long-term memory, because there’s no critical thinking needed when the only thought is, “run!”. This causes us to experience brain fog, poor memory and difficulty concentrating¹.
Suppresses sleep because melatonin, our sleep hormone, is inhibited by cortisol. This results in fatigue, anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with stress¹.

The most important way to reduce cortisol and minimize these fight-or-flight reactions is to reduce stress. Unfortunately, that is not always possible, so supplementation can help your body cope with stress more effectively. STRESS-FX is formulated to help us maintain our healthy rest-and-digest state. It helps us alleviate stress by lowering cortisol levels, and it promotes relaxation through boosting our calming hormone, GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid). STRESS-FX improves mental clarity, anxiety, and memory, while helping us to recover more quickly from the physical and mental stressors of daily life.
