Parent's Toolkit for Exam Stress
Lynsey Vaughan - Higher Nature Nutritional Therapist - Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr)
With exam time fast-approaching and collective nerves building, it’s time to find your inner calm to help you and your son or daughter get through.
Creating a home that is not just a place to live but has a sense of calm is even more important at the moment during revision and the lead up to exam day.
It’s a stressful time and nerves can become frazzled as you try to strike the right balance between encouraging periods of focussed concentration for study, followed by relaxation and recharging.
To help you and your son or daughter we recommend the trio of supplements below - all three can be taken together throughout the day when required or for as long as you need.
For anxiety: Balance for nerves
A calming blend to help aid relaxation and wellbeing during stressful situations and frazzled mindset moments. This expert formula combines a unique blend of vitamins, amino acids and botanicals to support you when feeling overwhelmed. Vitamins B3, B6 and B12 are important for the normal function of the nervous system, whilst theanine, found naturally in green tea, is believed to promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
For a pick-me-up: Energy & Focus
The perfect pick me up for students and professionals needing a helping hand staying on task. These effervescent tablets make a delicious and nutritious drink combining essential B vitamins and targeted amino acids to help with low energy, lack of concentration, focus or motivation. Naturally sweetened with stevia and caffeine free.
For rest: Super Magnesium
Ideal if you suffer from muscle tension, low energy or simply find it hard to relax in the evening. When extra stressed and busy our magnesium requirements increase significantly so keeping topped up on this essential mineral can pay dividends for your wellbeing. Magnesium is required for over 300 reactions in the body and is often taken for its calming effect on the nervous system.
