Standard Process Albizia Complex Review

Product Features

Standard Process Albizia Complex is a mixture of three herbs: Albizia, Skullcap and Feverfew. Skullcap is a perennial herb with a wide spectrum of potential benefits, including anxiety, allergies, insomnia, nervousness or epilepsy. Some of these benefits are supported by scientific evidence, while others are not. It is believed that Skullcap is helpful in skin infections, in boosting the immune system and has tranquilizing calming effects. It is used in managing different anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and stress, and fighting autoimmune disorders such as asthma, various allergies, and hay fever.

Its nerve sedative and mild antispasmodic properties make it useful in treating sleep disorders, tension headaches and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms such as irritability. Attention disorders such as ADD and ADHD have also been investigated in relation to Skullcap use. Although it is considered relatively safe, concerns exist regarding the use of Skullcap in case of young children, pregnant and nursing women and patients with liver or kidney diseases.

Albizia Bark has been used as an herbal remedy in China for thousands of years. The plant is also called the “happiness herb,\” or the \”collective happiness bark” and has been shown to possess anti-anxiety, anti-depression and stress relieving properties. Most frequently, the plant is used to elevate mood, support a peaceful night\’s sleep, promote emotional calmness, fight allergies and infections and build a strong immune system.
Preliminary evidence indicates Albizia may help combat social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and insomnia. Also, the plant is recommended in treating and managing poor memory problems, as it is known to have antioxidant activity. Side effects are rare and usually manifest as gastrointestinal irritability may appear when using the herb. While the Chinese medicine usually recommends doses starting at 9 g per day, the plant has shown results in doses of 3 g or more.

The manufacturer recommends taking 1 tablet of Standard Process Albizia Complex 3 – 4 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Conclusion

Standard Process Albizia Complex is marketed as an herbal solution against depression, anxiety and stress. The formula features three core popular herbs, which have been the topic of numerous research studies over the past years. Herbal formulations as alternative treatment to mood disorders, depression and anxiety have become more popular over recent years, because they have fewer side effects than traditional drugs and are cheaper. Research on Albizia for instance has revealed the plant has little to no side effects on humans. Additionally, its effectiveness is supported by thousands of years of Chinese medicinal use.
However, there are no consumer reviews posted online for the formula, this is why it is hard to evaluate its effectiveness.
