There are plants that have been known for centuries for their sedative and anti-anxiety properties. We are talking about plants such as tulsi, valerian , lavender , linden , c amomile, hops, star anise, verbena and oats contained within:
- Antistress Complex : to reduce anxiety, fatigue and bad mood.
Together we can combine:

Another important ally is magnesium which contributes to the improvement of psychophysical well-being. It is not a plant but a precious mineral for humans as it is the king of anti-insomnia minerals. In particular, it influences the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for the sleep-wake rhythm.
