Life has really been testing us lately, and I’ve felt stress and anxiety like never before. I’m having trouble staying energized and motivated, but when it’s time to calm down and relax, I’m too wired. I needed something to help level me out, and that’s when I came across Elements.
What is Elements?
Do you know those rubber bracelets by Lokai that help you find the balance between the highs and lows of life? Well, I heard that the company had expanded into the world of adaptogens (super plants that help your body adapt to stressful situations) for the same purpose, and I had to give them a try.
The Supplements
Elements makes a line of tinctures that you can take throughout the day for different functions. I just squeeze three droppers from the tincture in my water, stir and drink! The tinctures small in size so it’s easy to keep them with me throughout the whole day in my bag. There are four formulas: Vitality, Focus, Calm and Rest.
Vitality is best right when I wake up or pre-workout to give myself the energy boost I need for a Rumble class. Focus helps me out of my mid-afternoon slump and gets me concentrated on my to-do list. I often have a tough time “turning off” my brain when I come home, so I take Calm to ease my mind and it’s also great if I’m feeling anxious. Lastly, Rest has replaced my nightly melatonin and helps me get the best night’s sleep. Incorporating these supplements into my daily life has kept me feeling balanced, supported and healthy.
The Adaptogens
Once I started seeing a difference in my mental and physical well being, I had to learn more about these superplants. Each of the formulas is made with clinically-effective levels of a specific adaptogen for its function, and all come from nature.
Rhodiola is used in the Vitality formula. It’s been used for centuries to promote health and endurance. Today, clinical trials have shown that Rhodiola helps enhance energy levels and mental performance capabilities under stress.
Schisandra berries have been used since ancient Chinese medicine practices and have since been proven to increase mental performance and concentration while decreasing mental fatigue. These benefits make it perfect for the Focus formula.
Holy Basil has been known to combat stress and promote tranquility. Clinical trials today have shown that this adaptogen lowers cortisol (stress) levels and lifts your mood. These balancing forces make the Calm formula effective.
Ashwagandha is known as one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. It’s been proven to promote sleep and physical health, making it the perfect adaptogen for the Rest formula.
My personal favorite is the Calm formula. It’s the perfect supplement to put in my water when I’m starting to feel my anxiety and restlessness building up, whether it’s from life itself or something at work.
