Herbastress is a complex of vitamins and natural products of plant origin that have a beneficial, balancing effect on the nervous system, helping to overcome daily stress and better adapt to the fast pace of modern life.

Passionflower and hops - the main components of the complex - help reduce nervous tension and anxiety, facilitate relaxation and overcome sleep disorders. Chamomile is a mild sedative and anti-stress remedy. Oats reduce depression and strengthen the nervous system. Siberian ginseng is currently considered one of the most effective natural remedies in stressful situations, surpassing even Asian ginseng in activity. The tonic effect inherent in Siberian ginseng balances the calming effect of other components, so Herbastress does not cause drowsiness and does not reduce reaction.
