StressSelect
StressSelect provides vital support to the body under physical, emotional and environmental stress with the Hi-Potency B-Complex family, plus Hi-Potency antioxidants including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, Zinc and the adaptogen herb Ginseng.
The term “B-complex” simply refers to a mixture or combination of the 8 essential B vitamins (Thiamin/B1, Riboflavin/B2, Niacin/B3, Pyridoxine/B6, Pantothenic Acid, Folic Acid, Cyanocobalamin/B12, Biotin). Most of the B-vitamins play a critical role as cofactors in cellular energy metabolism. Cofactors can be thought of as “helper nutrients” that assist chemical reactions. For example, the process of glycolysis, which converts energy stored as glycogen into glucose molecules, requires vitamin B6 and biotin. The conversion of pyruvate (a metabolite of glucose) to acetyl coenzyme A (the first step in the Krebs cycle in energy metabolism) requires pantothenic acid and further metabolism requires biotin, riboflavin and niacin. Lack of any of the B vitamins can cause fatigue and lethargy – which is why B-complex supplements are often promoted as “energy boosters” and “stress formulas.”
Stress may exhaust natural defenses and activate stress hormones which may deplete nutrient and energy reserves. Certain nutrients can help the body to cope and restore equilibrium. The nervous and immune systems require adequate B-Vitamins so they can counteract fatique brought on by stress. In addition Vitamin C, E, Zinc, Selenium and Ginseng are useful for supporting the bodies stress management system.
Stress has certain short and long term effects on the body:
Short Term:
This is what happens when stress is temporary
I. Diversion of blood from the rest of the body towards vital organs such as the heart and mind.
II. Increase of heart rate to pump blood efficiently along with increase in respiratory rate to get more oxygen from the air.
III. Breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver and muscles to produce more glucose.
Of course, these changes manifest themselves in the form of a variety of short-term effects. Such as chest pain, palpitation, cold skin with goose bumps, breathlessness, dry mouth, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, difficulty in concentrating, memory disturbances, abdominal discomfort, depression and outbursts of anger.
2. Long Term:
In cases where the stress factor is repetitive or persistent, the body continuously releases stress hormones. This translates into constant high blood pressure levels as well as other functional adjustments. The effects of these hormones can be harmful for the body. They may cause irreversible physiological damage of the brain and other organs.
Some of the long-term effects include chronic headache, anxiety disorder, mood swings, substance abuse, weight loss or weight gain, memory disturbance and sleeplessness. Other reported effects are decreased sex drive, aggravation of existing allergies like asthma, heart attack or stroke because of increased cholesterol.
The effects of stress on the human body are undesirable. So, if you are victim of stress, you should considder supplementation such as StressSelect to assist you in managing your stress levels.
FAQ’s about StressSelect

StressSelect provides a combination of ingredients that reduce the harmful effects that stress has on the body. These ingredients also enhance energy production and improve mood.
What causes stress?
Feelings of stress are caused by the body's instinct to defend itself. This instinct is good in emergencies, such as getting out of the way of a speeding car. But stress can cause physical symptoms if it goes on for too long, such as in response to life's daily challenges and changes.
When this happens, it's as though your body gets ready to jump out of the way of the car, but you're sitting still. Your body is working overtime, with no place to put all the extra energy. This can make you feel anxious, afraid, worried and uptight.
Other things that may be stressful include being laid off from your job, your child leaving or returning home, the death of your spouse, divorce or marriage, an illness, an injury, a job promotion, money problems, moving, or having a baby.
