Here you'll find supplements for which a claim on stress, relaxation or sleep applies. They are three herbs: ashwagandha, valerian and rhodiola. For each product we show word for word which claim that is. That way you know exactly what you're buying, without promises we can't keep.

Sleep
Which one suits you?
Valerian and rhodiola are capsules: valerian as a 400 mg extract, rhodiola rosea at 500 mg per capsule. Ashwagandha comes in three forms. Stir the organic powder into warm milk, a smoothie or yoghurt; it tastes earthy and slightly bitter. The 500 mg capsules are organic and tasteless. KSM-66 is a standardised extract of the ashwagandha root, also in 500 mg capsules. Choose one form of ashwagandha, as they contain the same herb.
Combining and dosage
You can use ashwagandha and valerian side by side. Do start with one product at a time, so you notice for yourself what suits you. Follow the instructions on the pack for the dose and the time to take it.
