Anxiety affects millions of people worldwide, manifesting as restlessness, increased heart rate, and overwhelming worry. While occasional anxiety is a normal response to stress, chronic anxiety can impact daily life, health, and well-being.
When it comes to anxiety management, many people focus solely on mental health, but research shows that gut health plays a vital role in maintaining a balanced mood. The gut and brain are closely connected through the gut-brain axis, which means that imbalances in the gut can contribute to mental health issues, including anxiety.
How Gut Wellness Affects Anxiety:
· Gut Inflammation– chronic inflammation in the gut can lead to an overactive immune response, which affects the brain’s chemistry and may worsen anxiety.
· Microbiome Imbalance– a healthy balance of gut bacteria is essential for the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which help regulate mood.
· Leaky Gut Syndrome– when the gut barrier is compromised, toxins and bacteria can leak into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and contributing to mood disorders.
We understand the importance of gut health in managing anxiety and overall wellness, that’s why our latest formula CHF#16 Gut Wellness is designed to strengthen your gut barrier, promote a balanced microbiome and reduce inflammation for optimal digestive and mental health.
By promoting a healthy gut, CHF#16 may also help reduce the symptoms of anxiety. A balanced gut contributes to better production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, helping to reduce anxiety. Incorporating this supplement into your anxiety management routine offers a holistic approach to mental health, addressing the root cause of imbalances rather than just the symptoms. Add CHF#107 GABA+ for a complete approach to anxiety relief and digestive health.

Essential Oil #25 Frankincense is tapped from the very scraggly but hardy Boswellia tree by scraping the bark and allowing the exuded resins to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called tears. There are numerous species and varieties of frankincense trees, each producing a slightly different type of resin. Differences in soil and climate create even more diversity of the resin, even within the same species.
