Reishi Mushroom Extract: This herb works to lower cortisol and is particularly useful with individuals who have anxiety. It is very sedative and calming, and has numerous additional benefits, such as being anti-inflammatory.

ZKT is correct you'll want to treat the problem rather than the symptoms, stress is usually the main cause, so you can go really basic and go for the Mega B stress by solaray and take that every day. Enzymatic Therapy also makes a product for stress reduction that contains valerian Root.

what I do:
I actually have a decent amount of stress every day, but first thing in the morning I take No-Xplode by BSN, there are tons of things in there that pretty much kills stress, plus the caffeine wakes me up and makes me feel better, I also use it before workouts. I take a good multi, 1000mg of Vit C, cal mag/D, and a coromega packet w/ breakfast. Before bed I take 6mg of Mel, 1000mg of Vit C, cal mag/D, and 30mg of Zinc. That is usually enough to kill the stress, keep the immune strong, make me wake up feeling well and rested, and not as cranky.

Let me know if you have any questions, or want me to help.
