Stress, Mood & Sleep Supplements: Reviews by Dr. Bell

Stress, mood, and sleep are the same conversation. Chronic stress wrecks sleep. Bad sleep wrecks mood. Low mood feeds back into stress. The body and brain do not separate them the way our language does, and supplement support tends to work across all three at once.

Most of what helps falls into a few categories: adaptogens that help the stress response itself (ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil), neurotransmitter support that targets the brain chemicals involved in calm and focus (GABA, glycine, 5-HTP), minerals that the nervous system runs on (magnesium especially), and adrenal support for people who have been running hot for too long. There is also a smaller bucket of sleep-specific products — melatonin alternatives, herbs, and amino acids.

This page collects every Designs for Health supplement in this space that I have reviewed. The reviews focus on which product fits which picture — the wired-but-tired patient is different from the anxious patient is different from the can't-stay-asleep patient, and the right supplement is different for each. If you are on a prescription for anxiety, depression, or sleep, talk to your prescriber before adding anything that affects neurotransmitters.
