BetterYou StressAway is a combination of only naturally sourced ingredients which have been found to be exceptionally effective in helping to regulate blood flow to enable the body to relax nerves and muscles. The combination helps to ensure maintenance of oxygen supply to all major organs, including the brain which utilises over 20% of all the body’s oxygen.

The fact that we use only ingredients that have come from a food sourced means that the body absorbs them far more quickly than man-made nutrients as they are in a form our bodies would normally expect to find them. This unique formula helps an anxious body in three distinct ways:

• Soothes the nerves
• Rebalances the body
• Focuses the mind

BetterYou™ StressAway allows you to take control, safely and naturally. 60 easy to swallow vegetarian capsules.

Daily supplement 100% food sourced ingredients. Created for modern stressful lifestyles.

A little bit of stress isn't always a bad thing; it mobilises our bodies and energises us during the coping process. But being overstressed may result in a range of health problems. Modern stress is completely different to the stress of our ancestors and, as such, requires a new health approach.

The most common perception of stress is the 'fight or flight' scenario, and the story goes something like this. A caveman is confronted by an angry mastodon: he either needs to club it to death or run for his life. A quick surge in the 'stress-hormone', adrenaline, allows him to act by strengthening his heartbeat, widening his airways and redirecting blood to his muscles.

But there are two problems with this Neanderthal model. First, the riskiest animals our predecessors had to confront were rabbits and deer, not elephants and tigers. In fact, our hairy forefathers spent most of their time collecting berries and roots with their children, aunties and pals. Just like us, the caveman never stood alone in front of wild animals - unless there had been some kind of terrible mistake. The second error is to try to relate stress solely to adrenaline. Although the physical effects of frights and acute (short-term) stress are caused by adrenaline, this hormone doesn't enter the brain. Longer-term stress relates to a range of other hormones and brain neurotransmitters. Important brain chemicals affected by stress
• serotonin - involved in regulation of sleep, appetite and mood
• dopamine - part of the brain's 'reward system'
• noradrenaline - involved in regulating energy and drive
• GABA - has a general sedative effect
• glutamate - tends to activate nerve cells
• CRF - increases steroid levels

Steroid levels rise during long-term stress, and it seems likely that it's the body's own natural steroids - not adrenaline - that cause most stress-related health problems. Long-term, increased steroid levels have been linked to impaired immunity and illnesses such as heart disease, cancer and depression. Our macho image ofmodern, relentless stress being the same as the 'fight or flight' stress is wrong, because being stressed in today's hectic world isn't about a beating heart or a dry mouth. The signs are much more subtle.

Tips to identify stress symptoms
• constant fatigue and irregular sleep patterns
• poor concentration and short-term memory
• introspection increases and is accompanied by neglect of the family and personal appearance
• constant repetition of the same actions
• increased irritability

But even if you don't recognise the stress-symptoms listed here, don't presume you are immune to the effects of stress. Everyone's reaction is idiosyncratic, and it can be astonishingly difficult to recognise at the time. Fortunately, your own pattern of stressed-out behaviours will tend to recur each time you get frazzled. If stress makes you bite your fingernails to the quick (like Heath Ledger), or gorge on junk food (like Bill Clinton) or drink more than you should (like most of us), it's likely that you'll start doing the same thing again next time.

There are medical treatments that help stress-related conditions such as depression and anxiety, but rarely will you find a product that's really effective for stress itself. Stress isn't an illness, it's an important part of life. Learning to cope with - and even enjoy - stress is the best way. BetterYou believes in allowing an individual to gradually regain the stamina, mood strength and mental clarity to better manage, and even embrace, daily stress. modern stress will not go away. It's how we deal with the stress and our response to it that dictates how it affects our health.
