Stress Tame is a formula produced and distributed by the American company Jarrow Formulas. It is claimed to be effective in calming and modulating the body’s response to stress factors, ease relaxation and promote a restful sleep.
The manufacturing company is a supplier of pharmaceutical products such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, herbal and amino acids based formulas, enzymes and nutrition products. The company was founded in 1977 and today conducts its business worldwide.
The Stress Tame formulation contains the inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA, naturally found in the human brain, which helps in the process of relaxation. In addition the formula contains herbs which possess calming, relaxing effects (Hops, Skullcap, Passion Flower, etc).
According to the manufacturer the supplement contains no wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish or shellfish, peanuts or tree nuts.
Stress Tame Ingredients
Stress Tame contains the following ingredients: Passion Flower (flower and stem), Wild Jujube Extract (seed), Scullcap (root), Hops (flower), California Poppy (whole plant), L- Theanine, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), Magnesium stearate (vegetable source).
Product Features
Stress Tame is a complex of herbs and amino acids.
GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It works by adjusting neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. Low levels of GABA in the brain causes feelings of anxiety, insecurity, unexplained panic and depression. Even though it is used an ingredient in dietary supplements and is claimed to have calming effects, there is no scientific proof to support these claims.
Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnate) is one of the key herbal ingredients in the product. It is a plant whose leaves and roots have been first used by the Native Americans to treat insomnia and hysteria. Passion Flower is known for its analgesic and anti-depressant properties. Some of its most common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness and coordination problems, although rare.
Stress Tame has been receiving good reviews from consumers, despite the fact that the manufacturer cannot prove the formula’s effectiveness with conclusive test results or clinical proof.
The recommended dose is 2 capsules taken 30 minutes before bedtime or dissolved into a cup of boiling hot water as tea.

My boss is someone that I really admire. She always seems so happy and calm. Recently she told me that she takes Stress Tame. I think she is an excellent role model so I want to try it too. Hopefully it will give me the same boost and confidence that she has found.
After three weeks of using Stress Tame I have to say that I still feel like I am on the edge. I think I really need to update my resume and start hunting for a new job. While I am glad to be working in this economy the job isn’t worth the pay for the stress. They aren’t going to change at the office so I need to do something different.
Sleeping pills make me so out of it that I had to stop taking them. I found Stress Tame though and it helps me to be calm and to get a good night of sleep. I really enjoy being able to wake up refreshed and not feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders the moment that I get out of bed.
