Adaptogens target the root cause
Most stress supplements address symptoms (e.g. magnesium for muscles). Adaptogens target the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis — modulating cortisol production and the stress response at its physiological source.
Natural relaxation without grogginess
Unlike pharmaceutical anxiolytics and sleep medications, herbal adaptogens calm the nervous system without the impaired cognition, dependency risk or next-day grogginess.
One of Modere’s most popular products
Stress Health is consistently one of Modere’s highest-rated and most repurchased supplements — reflecting both the universality of modern stress and the product’s genuine effectiveness.
New Zealand’s stress epidemic — why modern life has made adaptogenic support essential
New Zealand consistently ranks among the most stressed developed nations. The Mental Health Foundation reports that 1 in 5 Kiwis experience a mental health problem annually, with anxiety and stress being the most prevalent. The physiological cost of chronic stress — elevated cortisol, disrupted sleep, immune suppression, metabolic dysregulation — is measurable and significant.
Adaptogens are a class of herbs that specifically modulate the HPA axis — the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal stress response system. Unlike pharmaceutical anxiolytics, adaptogens don’t suppress stress responses — they normalise them, increasing the body’s capacity to respond to stressors without the excessive cortisol cascade that drives the damaging effects of chronic stress.
Ingredients in Modere Stress Health NZ | Herbal Relaxation Formula 90 Caps
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Valerian root Valeriana officinalis | Primary nervine sedative | Valerenic acid inhibits GABA transaminase — increasing brain GABA levels for calming without the dependency risk of pharmaceutical GABA modulators (benzodiazepines) |
| Passionflower Passiflora incarnata | Anxiolytic, sleep support | Chrysin and flavonoids bind to GABA-A receptors — reducing anxiety and promoting sleep onset without next-day cognitive impairment |
| Ashwagandha root Withania somnifera | Primary adaptogen | Withanolides modulate cortisol production and HPA axis reactivity. The most studied adaptogen with 30+ clinical trials for stress, cortisol and sleep quality. |
| Skullcap Scutellaria lateriflora | Nervous system tonic | Baicalin and other flavonoids support GABA pathways — traditional nervine tonic for anxious restlessness and nervous tension |
| Lemon balm Melissa officinalis | Calming, anti-anxiolytic | Rosmarinic acid inhibits GABA transaminase — the same mechanism as valerian but with a gentler, more calming profile. Combined with valerian in clinical trials for anxiety and sleep. |
| Hops Humulus lupulus | Sleep support | 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol — a natural sedative compound. Most effective combined with valerian for sleep quality improvement. |
How Modere Stress Health NZ | Herbal Relaxation Formula 90 Caps works
Ashwagandha modulates the HPA axis
Withanolides from ashwagandha act on the hypothalamus and adrenal glands — reducing basal cortisol levels and improving the body’s return to baseline after stress exposure.
GABA-enhancing herbs calm the nervous system
Valerian, passionflower and lemon balm increase brain GABA availability — reducing neuronal excitability and producing genuine anxiolytic and sedative effects without dependency.
Hops and valerian improve sleep architecture
The combination of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (hops) and valerenic acid (valerian) extends slow-wave sleep — the most restorative phase — and reduces sleep onset latency.
Sustained HPA axis rebalancing
Adaptogens require consistent daily use — 4-8 weeks for full cortisol normalisation. Unlike pharmaceutical anxiolytics, the benefit grows with continued use rather than requiring dose escalation.

Pro tips
Take consistently for 4-8 weeks
Adaptogenic herbs require consistent daily use for full HPA normalisation — don’t assess results after only 1-2 weeks.
Take the evening dose with Magnesium
Shaklee Magnesium Powder (34257) in warm water + Stress Health in the evening creates a powerful natural relaxation and sleep protocol.
Reduce caffeine
Caffeine elevates cortisol — reducing afternoon caffeine amplifies Stress Health’s cortisol-normalising benefit significantly.
