The TWO Best Supplements For Social Anxiety Disorder: Provanax and BrainMD
My Review:

The two best supplements for Social Anxiety

In this blog post I will write about, what I consider to be, the two  best supplements for social anxiety, I have found, so far. And also…

…what is the difference between them and which one should you choose? 

So without further ado, let’s take a look at the two anxiety supplements!

Here we go:

-BrainMD Everyday Stress Relief-

Who is behind it?

Dr. Daniel Amen is one of the worlds leading brain experts and a double board certified psychiatrist and a physician. He is a nine time New York Times bestselling author and the founder of Amen Clinics.

This guy has studied over 80.000 brain scans and learned important lessons from them so, yeah, it comes as no surprise that the quality of the brain supplements they make is of absolute world class quality.

If you are interested in learning more about Dr. Daniel here is a good video:

Why is it on the best supplements for social anxiety list and what makes  it so effective?

“Everyday stress relief” is a product that lowers your anxiety, worry and stress at the same time as it helps you enhance your energy, endurance and vigor.

It does this by:

• Lowering cortisol and other stress hormones
• Balancing blood sugar
• Calms down the activity in the nerve cells
• Increases Alpha waves in the brain
• Increases GABA (a neurotransmitter responsible for putting the brakes on our fight and flight response)
• Supporting your brain and adrenals
• Relaxes muscles in the body (which in turn calms the brain)

The ingredients Dr. Amen uses is of the best kind

• Magnesium 

As soon as I saw magnesium on the ingredients list I quickly checked what kind of magnesium they use. Many companies uses magnesium “oxide” which has a bioavailability of only 4%. This is because it’s cheap, and by doing so they can make more money…

…well, I was happy to find out that this supplement has magnesium glycinate and malate in it, the two best absorbed magnesium forms out there. But, again, it is no surprise because Dr. Amen wants to make stuff with high quality, to go along with his high quality work, as a brain specialist.

Magnesium deficiency is almost an invite to mental health problems such as panic attacks, depression, social anxiety and generalized anxiety and experts estimates that about 76% of Americans are deficient in this precious mineral.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 chemical processes in the body and studies have linked many ailments to not getting enough magnesium, with anxiety being highest on that list…

…in addition to this magnesium possesses several anti anxiety properties. For example, it increases GABA  (a neurotransmitter that is also called “the natures valium”) and relaxes the muscles, brain and the whole system. Without magnesium our muscles would be in a constant contraction.

• Relora

Relora is a combination of a couple of Chinese tree barks. New research is being done on this all the time and so far some interesting studies have shown it to be effective as an anxiety supplement as well as for treating insomnia.

Relora also helps with supporting healthy adrenal function and improves mood and vigor in stressed people suffering from mild depression and mood swings.

• Holy Basil

This is an interesting herb used in Ayurvedic circles and new research is being done on it all the time. It has been shown to increase mood, reduce stress and promote relaxation…

…it does this by lowering levels of protein and lipid oxidation while at the same time increasing antioxidant defenses.

There is also evidence that Holy Basil supports blood pressure, blood sugar, lipids and stress hormones, which are all known to cause emotional, mental and physical stress in the human body. In addition to this Holy Basil is also anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and posses analgesic activities.

• Taurine

This is an amino acid that works on stabilizing membranes within the nerve cells. It does this by effectively regulating the constant flow of information that is going in and out of our cells. Studies done on animals reported a decrease of anxiety levels as well as an increase in memory and focus.

• L-Theanine

Green tea also contains L-Theanine but don’t confuse just drinking a cup of green tea  with the effects of a high quality theanine supplement like the one Dr. Amen uses!… the differences can truly be night and day.

What I personally notice when I use this anxiety supplement and what I like about it

I like this supplement because I notice the effects pretty quickly after taking it. Within 45-60 minutes my anxiety levels drops significantly and I also notice an increase in my mood. The increase in mood could, of course, be because I become a happier person if I have less anxiety (no surprise there)…

…but it could also be from some of the ingredients in it. It’s difficult to know but, hey, as long as I get happier, that’s  nice. More importantly the effects tends to get even better with everyday use. They build up over time, unlike with the supplement Provanax which I have to cycle in order for it to keep the strong anti anxiety effects.

It helps me most with eating with others

One of my biggest issues with social anxiety is eating in front of others because my hands are shaky. Well this anxiety supplement almost completely eliminates that fear because, after taking it, I feel relaxed, but more importantly, “steady” and like I now have control over my hands.

It is one of the few supplements I have tried that actually works for my social anxiety and anxiety in general. Not only that but it works very well and that’s why it is one of the two in this post  “best supplements for social anxiety”.

I know I’m not alone with noticing the effects as there are a lot of positive reviews on their website:

-Provanax-

Who is behind it?

Dr.Sam Robbins is passionate about health and has 30 years of experience as an anti aging doctor with focus on naturally improving hormone levels as well as mental and physical well being.

He is the founder of “HFL Solutions” and has a background in psychology and endocrinology .

What makes Provanax so effective and why is it one of the best supplements for social anxiety?

To start with let me make clear that I love BOTH supplements, Provanax AND BrainMD Everyday stress relief but…

…if I HAD to choose only one to use… I would go for Provanax. I have been using it for a long time and it has been a real lifesaver for me during my years of struggling with social anxiety.

Provanax has the ability to  

• Lift your mood significantly (sometimes even to almost euphoric levels)
• Eliminate stress
• Drastically reduce anxiety AND social anxiety
• Reduce panic attacks
• Stop worrying
• Help you fall asleep and stay asleep

This is the best social anxiety supplement and it’s even more potent (for me… we are all different) than the brainMD. This has to do with the special ingredients in it and I have even contacted the team behind it in order to learn more about why it works so well for me…

…the interesting part is that the ingredients is not 100% “fixed” and they constantly makes small adjustments to keep improving the effects of the product. They do of course have their standard ingredients that works synergistically and makes up about 80% of the product…

….the rest, however, they constantly keep modifying and improving. The last bottle I ordered from them (in April 2018) contained at lest these ingredients:

The ingredients they use works synergistically to enhance each other

1. Valerian root
2. Passion flower
3. L-Theanine
4. Magnesium
5. Vitamin B6
6. St. Johns Worth
7. 5-HTP
8. L-Tryptophan
9. Lithium orotate
10. Lemon balm
11. GABA

That’s quite a list and, in order to not make this blog post 10.000 words long, I can not start writing about all the research that is made on each individual ingredient. I will say, however, that each and everyone of them have proven effects on stress, anxiety and depression. Clinically proven by science.

As you may notice, some of the ingredients are the same as in the BrainMD Everyday Stress Relief but, in addition, a whole bunch of other as well and the beauty of this product, as I learned when I contacted the manufacturer team,is the special amount and setup they use to make them work synergistically to enhance the effect of each other.

What I personally notice when I use this anxiety supplement…and what I like about it

With all these ingredients set up in that special way, it makes Provanax a really potent anxiety supplement and I feel a small effect after just 45 minutes of taking it but the real effects kicks in about 2-3 hours later. This is the most potent supplement I have tried for anxiety to this day and, believe me, I have tried a lot during my 15 years of dealing with social anxiety…

…I must say that sometimes it eliminates ALL of my anxiety completely and I become very relaxed yet focused but not every time though and this leads me in to…

…The downside of Provanax:

Being this potent it also comes with some negative sides that if not present would make this anxiety supplement PERFECT.  The downside of provanax is that in order to keep the potent effect it should be used in “cycles”. This is to let our receptors in the brain regain sensitivity and not get too “use to” the supplement and thereby making it loose its most potent effect.

The cycle I use depends on my life situation but it could look something like this.

• Two days ON and one day OFF
• One day ON and one day OFF  (works even better for me)
• Two days OFF and one day ON (works incredibly well)
• Five days ON and two days OFF (this is not the way I use it but many people, successfully, do)
• Three weeks ON and one week OFF (again, not the way I use it myself but many do)

Now, if we could use it all the time, without cycling, this supplement would be PERFECT but…

…I guess we have to take the bad with the good, right?…and despite this, it’s still the best supplement for social anxiety, and anxiety in general, I have ever tried. The reason it also works so well for social anxiety is because it not only eliminates my anxiety it also put’s me in a very good mood, making me much more outgoing…

…kind of like alcohol but in a good way. That is:

Still very sharp and not drowsy att all, and without the negative side effects of alcohol, but with the relaxation and improved confidence  we sometimes get from alcohol.

If you decide to try ProVanax I have a tip for you: take it on an empty stomach. It’s by no means necessary to do that BUT it works even better that way.

What others are saying about this supplement for social anxiety, worry and mood…

Does “Provanax” deserve to be in the best supplement for social anxiety disorder post? Conclusion…

Answer:  YES! Even more so than any other supplements!

Look:

• It works very well for social anxiety
• It works incredible well for anxiety in general
• It works superb for increasing mood

…In addition to this…

…it comes with a one year guarantee. If we are not happy about it there is a one year, full money back, guarantee no questions asked. Gotta like that because then there is no way to lose.

Which one should I choose?

Well, I wish I had an exact answer for you. If I had to choose I would take Provanax as the one and only but we have to remember that everyone is different and responds differently so the only way to know for sure is to just try them. However, I do believe that Provanax is the most potent anxiety supplement for MOST people…

…that said if you feel like cycling a product, on and off, is just too much trouble then you should go for the BrainMD Everyday Stress Relief. Provanax might be more potent for you though and the cycling can be easily made so that you have an “ON” day when you have a particular anxiety provoking situation…

…like I do when I have to perform on a music gig, playing the trumpet, for example.

Price comparison

They are both about the same price but the Provanax vendor offers the option of getting a significant drop in costs if ordering more then one bottle at the same time. That’s the way I do it and if you are willing to try a lot to overcome your anxiety, just like me, then I would suggest trying them both…

…but I do realize that not everyone is that crazy and eager to spend their hard earned money left and right =)

Final words

According to research stress and negative thoughts are probably one of the major causes of health problems. This is because of the release of the negative hormones that gets released when you’re under stress – both physical and even more so, emotional stress…

…so this is why it’s important that we do something about our situation, and if there is natural solutions  out there that can help us, I’d say go for it! I’m certainly going for it, because when all comes down to it, life is too short to be suffering from anxiety all the time, and if we don’t do anything about it…well, it tends to only get worse.

I wish you GOOD LUCK, and here’s to you having relaxed, anxiety free days ahead.
