MENTAL HEALTH
Control of stress symptoms
Oriental Botanicals Anxiolift contains a standardised, clinically tested* extract of holy basil, OciBest, which has been shown to help relieve stress-related symptoms.
A randomised, placebo-controlled clinical study* involving people with stress symptoms found that after six weeks, participants who had taken OciBest were 1.6 times more in control of their stress symptoms than those who’d taken a placebo supplement.
In particular, in this study,* OciBest holy basil extract was shown to relieve stress- related fatigue, sleep disturbance and
cognitive impairment (including forgetfulness).
Holy basil is an esteemed herb in Ayurvedic medicine, where
it’s traditionally used to manage stress symptoms and improve resistance to stress.
