How to Fit Supplements into Your Daily Wellness Routine
In a fast-paced world, many people look for easy ways to support their daily well-being. This guide explains the role of key nutrients (B-vitamins, magnesium, zinc, omega-3s, amino acids) and traditional European plant extracts in everyday life — and how multi-ingredient supplements like Stop Stress® can complement a balanced diet and lifestyle.
Why Nutrition Still Matters in a Busy Day
Long hours, irregular meals and constant demands can make it harder to get everything from food alone. While a varied diet is the foundation, many people choose food supplements as a convenient way to add selected nutrients and plant extracts to their routine.
The Most Common Nutrients People Look For
Nutrient Group | Where you find it naturally | Why it’s popular in supplements (EFSA-authorised claims) |
B-vitamins | Whole grains, meat, fish, eggs, leafy greens | Contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal psychological & nervous-system function |
Magnesium | Nuts, seeds, whole grains, green vegetables | Contributes to normal muscle function, nervous-system function, energy-yielding metabolism and reduction of tiredness & fatigue |
Zinc | Meat, seafood, dairy, seeds | Contributes to normal immune function, cognitive function and protection of cells from oxidative stress |
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA) | Oily fish, some plant sources | Contribute to normal heart function, brain function and vision |
Amino acids (glycine, L-tryptophan, etc.) | Protein-rich foods (meat, dairy, legumes) | Natural building blocks included for overall nutritional profile |
Traditional European Plant Extracts – A Touch of Herbal Heritage
Many supplements include botanicals that have been used in European herbal traditions for generations:
- Valerian root
- Passionflower
- Lemon balm
- Peppermint leaf
- Hops
- Ginger root
How Multi-Ingredient Supplements Fit Into Daily Life
Modern formulas like Stop Stress® Day and Night combine:
- B-vitamins and magnesium for everyday energy and nervous-system support
- Traditional plant extracts
- (In Night formulas) melatonin as part of an evening routine
