When you’re feeling extra stressed, your body is working overtime to keep up.
That means a higher demand for nutrients, like:
✨Magnesium
We need magnesium for sleep, relaxation, and muscle recovery. But the more stressed you are, the more magnesium you burn through 🔄making you feel even more stressed.
✨B Vitamins
We need B vitamins for energy, brain function, and the production of stress hormones. Some studies show that supplementing with B vitamins can actually help people feel less stressed.
✨Vitamin C
Your adrenal glands release vitamin C along with stress hormones—and stress increases your demand for it. Since humans can’t make vitamin C, we have to consume it.
Here are some ways to nourish your body when stressed:
✔ Eat nutrient-dense foods
✔ Consider high-quality supplements for extra support
✔ Try adaptogenic herbs, like ashwagandha or rhodiola, to support your stress response
Nutrients are just one piece of the stress puzzle—and no, a handful of supplements won’t make stress disappear.
But they may help your body respond better.
