Dr. Emil Nutrition StressAway is a dietary supplement that is marketed as a “natural anxiety support & mood booster.”
When this Dr. Emil Nutrition StressAway review was written, the ingredients within the formula included: Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Niacin, Biotin, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Potassium Gluconate, Proprietary Blend (Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, Chamomile, GABA, Lemon Balm, Skullcap, Hawthorn, Bacopa, Magnolia, Passion Flower, Valerian, L-Theanine, Oat Straw, Mucuna Pruriens 14% HPLC, St. John’s Wort, Hops, Griffonia Seed EXT 5-HTP).
The manufacturer behind this dietary supplement is Dr. Emil Nutrition. This brand claims that it is both “doctor driven” and “science backed.” Dr. Emil is supposedly a medical doctor and recognized authority in the fields of nutrition and supplementation. Moreover, all the blends produced by the company are said to be “expertly formulated to provide industry-best results.”
In terms of being backed by science, Dr. Emil Nutrition claims that their products – StressAway included – are more than mere “fancy labels and marketing puffery.” The company claims that their products are formulated with clinical proven ingredients and are always backed by science and are free of gimmicks, fads and hype.
These are very bold statements, and while Dr. Emil Nutrition may be free of gimmicks, fads and hype, it’s certainly not free of unsubstantiated claims. The manufacturer’s official product page for StressAway provides absolutely no citations to studies related to the ingredients in the StressAway dietary supplement to prove that these ingredients are indeed effective for offering anxiety relief and mood enhancement support.
Any company or doctor can declare that their products or the ingredients within them are clinically proven. However, without providing evidence to back up these claims, it calls both the company and the doctor’s integrity into question, which is the case for Dr. Emil Nutrition.
All that being said, many of the ingredients in Dr. Emil Nutrition StressAway, have been clinically studied and some research has found that ashwagandha, L-theanine, passion flower, and magnesium can help to promote stress and anxiety support, while ingredients such as St. John’s wort, GABA, lemon balm and 5-HTP may assist in providing mood and serotonin enhancement.
However, not all studies are in agreement that these ingredients are effective or safe for aiding in stress relief, anxiety relief or mood enhancement. More importantly, none of these ingredients are clinically proven for these purposes.
If you are currently seeking relief from stress, anxiety or another mental health condition, it is highly recommended that you talk to your healthcare provider about your treatment options and your desire to try alternative treatments to prescription medications. Do not take Dr. Emil Nutrition StressAway or any other OTC stress and/or anxiety relief supplement without first consulting with your own personal doctor.
