Frequently asked questions

What is an adaptogen?

Adaptogen is a traditional-use category rather than a regulated one, covering herbs such as ashwagandha, rhodiola and maca that are used in stress routines. EU law does not permit stress or anxiety claims for these ingredients, so product pages describe composition and traditional use rather than promising effects.

Ashwagandha or rhodiola?

Both are used in stress routines but differently in practice: ashwagandha is more often taken in the evening and rhodiola during the day, as some people find rhodiola activating. Neither is suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and both can interact with medication — check with a healthcare professional.

Which nutrients are authorised for psychological function?

Under EU-authorised health claims, magnesium, vitamin C, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12 and biotin contribute to normal psychological function. Magnesium and several B vitamins also contribute to normal functioning of the nervous system.

Can I take these with antidepressants or sedatives?

Ask your prescriber first. Several herbs in this category, notably St John's wort and ashwagandha, have documented interactions with psychiatric medication and sedatives. This is not a case for trial and error.

Will a supplement fix stress?

No, and no product here claims to. These support nutritional intake and normal psychological function. Sleep, exercise, and addressing the source of the stress do the actual work — and persistent stress or low mood is worth discussing with a doctor rather than managing alone.
