I’ve been thinking of getting Proloftin because I tend to be anxious a lot. Does it work for anxiety/stress? Are there any side effects?
According to http://www.proloftin.com/faq.php there are no side effects and it helps to reduce stress, promote relaxation, etc, etc. Granted, this is their website, so they’ll have whatever claims they want to make, but they list the ingredients at http://www.proloftin.com/research_home.php
The ingredient makeup of the product is actually several ingredients that help with stress and relaxation including L-Theanine, Magnolia, and Rhodiola, plus it has Beta Sitosterol that helps with cholesterol (which many people stress over) and Phosphatidylserine (which is more for brain health, but helps with neurotransmitters). I agree that none of those have any direct side effects as long as you take the proper dosage.
All that being said, you could buy all of those ingredients separately (many in higher dosages) for a LOT cheaper… they sell a 1 month supply for $59 (plus shipping), so I would never even think of paying that much for it. Save yourself some money and buy those 3-5 ingredients (3 for stress, 2 for support) from your local health food store or another good quality company. Good luck and I hope I helped!
