Supplements for anxiety and stress in the UAE
Chronic stress, a demanding work schedule and disrupted sleep are common in the UAE’s fast-paced environment. Some supplements have evidence for supporting the body’s stress response and promoting a calmer state of mind, used alongside good sleep habits and physical activity. All products are made by Yamamoto in Italy.
The main options
Ashwagandha KSM-66: a clinically studied adaptogen taken daily to reduce cortisol and support resilience to stress. GABA: an inhibitory neurotransmitter taken in supplement form to support relaxation, particularly in the evening. Phosphatidylserine (Sharp-PS): a phospholipid that supports cognitive function and may help blunt the cortisol spike from exercise. These work gradually; most people notice an effect after two to four weeks of daily use.
Frequently asked questions
Are these a replacement for therapy or medication? No. They are food supplements, not medicines. If you are experiencing clinical anxiety or depression, speak to a healthcare professional.
Can I take ashwagandha if I have a thyroid condition? Check with your doctor first, as ashwagandha can affect thyroid hormone levels.
Is it safe to take these long-term? Most adaptogenic supplements are safe for extended use, but cycling (for example, eight weeks on and two weeks off) is a common approach.
