This B vitamin complex has key nutrients and herbs, including valerian, passionflower and skullcap,to supplement the body's normal B vitamin requirements, as well as meetingthe additional needs brought on by the demands of a stressful modern lifestyle.Western herbalists have used these medicinal plants for centuries to help the body cope more efficiently with stress. Valerian is a nervous system relaxant and sedative, easing anxiety and tension and aiding sleep, passionflower is a gentle sedative herb for the whole nervous and muscular system and skullcap helps to calm a busy overworked mind and body.

Despite the differing stresses in our lives the bodys reaction to stress is universal. A fight or flight response is triggered by the adrenal glands releasing adrenaline into the bloodstream, causing the heart to beat faster, dilation of the respiratory passages and raised blood pressure. Digestion is interrupted as blood flows to the muscles and blood sugar increases to provide energy to fight or flee. When stress becomes chronic and inescapable on a daily basis, our body's constant reactions to stress begin to take their toll, resulting in the physical and mental symptoms of stress such as exhaustion, nervous disorders, and lowered immune function.A wide range of disorders can often be attributed to stress, such as colds and flus, allergies, menstrual cycle irregularities, asthma, eczema and other skin conditions.
