Life and work can get extra busy at times - being proactive about mental and physical health is key during times of increased pressure. Good nutrition, regular exercise, sufficient downtime and supplements can support your body during these times.
Supplements for men’s mood
As well as connecting with others, you can support a healthy mood with supplements and herbal extracts:
5-HTP is supports the natural production of serotonin – one of our happy chemicals. St John’s Wort is a herbal supplement well known for its mood supporting properties. St John’s Wort is best taken daily over time to support a healthy, happy mood. L-Theanine is an amino acid that supports feelings of relaxation and mental clarity. Kava is another herbal supplement which supports feelings of calmness, kava is an ideal option for on-the-spot support. SAM-e supports the nervous system and healthy neurotransmitter function.
Did you also know that a healthy gut supports your body’s ability to synthesise neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine? You can support your gut function by adding plenty of colourful vegetables to your meals, keeping up your hydration, and adding a probiotic to support a healthy microbiome.
Supplements for men’s stress
During times of increased pressure, your body needs more micro-nutrients to support various metabolic processes. Check out our supplements for Men’s Daily Wellness & Energy for some great multi-vitamins and B complexes to support overall wellbeing.
- Adaptogens are a winner for support during trying times. Adaptogens support your body’s response to stress, both physically and mentally.

An adaptogen like Ashwagandha is especially indicated for men’s health and wellbeing. See Our favourite ashwagandha products for 2021.
