Works for me, hope it works for you too.

Update: I've been taking this for two years, two caps twice a day. I notice if I forget. And I tried a fancier/more expensive brand that had more per bottle so I don't have to reorder as often, and it was like not taking them at all. Back to the Swanson full spectrum for me.

I'm not really an "herbal remedy" kind of girl, but this really does work for me. I noticed a significant boost in mood and energy (being really down in the dumps makes you feel like everything is too much work) when I was taking it. I stopped taking it after a move, basically forgot all about my vitamins (this was with those, not with prescription meds). I'm not clinically depressed, but I'm having some specific life events which involve a lot of waiting and anxiety, a lot of unknowns, a lot of inner hamster-wheeling and what-to-doing. I started taking the Tulsi again, two caps before bed, and woke up feeling refreshed and actually... Happy. It's so nice not to wake up miserable, waking up in a bad/sad mood is like starting out with a negative balance when you know the day is unlikely to make any deposits in the plus column. If I take these before bed, I sleep well and wake well. If I take them in the morning because I forgot to take them at night, I definitely notice. The psychoactive agents in Tulsi are Ocimumosides A and B and Ursolic Acid. According to my (very light) research on these molecular compounds, they have shown a positive effect on rats that are subjected to CUS - chronic unpredictable stress - as a pretreatment. Meaning that rats given the Tulsi do not experience the same deleterious effects on the brain and cortisol levels under continuous stress as those who did not. I'm not sure that this would help someone who is experiencing depression, but I hope it will help others who are experiencing chronic unpredictable stress to stay on top of it by boosting their body's ability to cope with it and not get so ground down and worn thin. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to adapt to a high level of stress or uncertainty. I don't know if it works for people with depression or an anxiety disorder resulting from a neurochemical imbalance, but it's sure worth a try. It doesn't affect your serotonin production, so discontinuation probably wouldn't make you feel sick, and I can honestly say that it works within hours. If you don't see an improvement in your mood in the 24-48 hours of trying it, it might not be right for your specific situation.

Sticker on expiry date!
by roudabeh taghizadeh (1 out of 5 stars)

I do like the product, however 1st time received it there was a sticker on the bottle. Found it weird and removed it. Discovered that it was expired by 7months. 2nd time ordered it same story. This time it's expired by 3 months. It's dishonest and I object that! Perhaps you are saying why would I order it for the 2nd time when I discovered such a thing at the first place? Good question! I have an advanced degree in western and eastern medical science. Due to that I am fully aware that expiry date on these particular kind of products means nothing and they are still good to consume. However I just dislike the fact that they put a sticker on the expiry date and hope for us to never remove it out of curiosity. With all do respect, I mean no harm! R.T

I swear this is the reason I was finally able to lose weight. I work the night shift and I am always tired and have a lot of stress, I believe I had adrenal fatigue, I gained a lot of weight and was holding onto it. I slowly began losing weight but I believe this product made it easier, also makes me more relaxed and calm.

Used it to lower my high cortisol at night so I could sleep. It works if I take an hour before bedtime.

Peace and calm

Tulsi / Holy Basil has a calming effect, saw it on TV, read about it and here experience it! You will go through the day with a lot more patience. If you are nervious / edgy types, pop 2 of these and chill.

They do not sedate you that is the best part. A very nice side effect is that it takes general stress away from the body, and hence reduces stress hormones like cortisol which causes wait gain (rather inch gain) in the mid section of the body.

Works like magic

Awesome product! I took it for over a year for severe joint pain after a long course of Prednisone. I had severe pain in my knees, hips, and hands and this stuff literally works better than any pain medicine. My pain is gone but be assured that if it were to return this Holy Basil would be the first thing that I reached for.

I have tried many supplements for my anxiety and over-active stress response, and this is the best thing I have tried, and this brand is the most potent I've come across.

regularly used herb for us

My wife has chronic fatigue and uses these to enhance her damaged immune system. While not scientific, they do seem to help her to resist colds, infections, etc as the incidence of these is down since she became a regular user. They also seem to help with her sugar level management to a small degree.

My daughter is really not one to sit still calmly for any length of time. This product was recommended by her Biology teacher and I am very happy with it. It's safe, easy, reasonably priced, and hopefully over time will prove effective.
