Natural Supplements for Mental Health & Wellbeing

Life can be a wild ride, can't it? Between juggling work, family, career, and everything in between, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember, you’re not alone. At Kate Living, we're all about taking a breather, sharing tips, and finding balance to better care for our minds and hearts.

First things first, let's acknowledge that mental health is just as important as physical health. Yet, it often gets pushed to the back burner. We've all heard the phrase "self care," but what does it really mean? It's more than just bubble baths and spa days—although those are great! True self care involves recognising when you're stressed, anxious, or just plain exhausted and knowing how to respond to those feelings in a healthy way.

Here, we'll explore the best supplements for managing stress to maintain a positive outlook. Remember, taking care of your mental health isn't a one size fits all journey, it’s about finding what works for you and making small, meaningful changes.

Star Supplements for Mental Health:

We have a fantastic collection of supplements to support mental health, but there are a few star products we especially love and we know you will too. 

Let’s take a closer look at each one to see why they make you feel amazing and why they’re our favourites. Plus, they can all be taken together, as each has its own unique benefits.

Terranova Magnesium Complex:

You've probably heard us rave about magnesium, and for a good reason! This powerhouse mineral is fantastic for supporting mental health and tackling stress. It's one of our top recommendations for anyone feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

When you're stressed, your body burns through magnesium quickly, creating a vicious cycle: Stress depletes magnesium, and low magnesium makes you more prone to stress. Keeping your magnesium levels up is key to breaking this cycle. 

Magnesium also promotes relaxation, improves sleep quality, and boosts serotonin, the "feel-good" hormone, which leads to a better mood, sharper focus, and greater resilience against daily stressors. While you can get magnesium from leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, our Terranova Magnesium Complex ensures you’re getting a potent dose.

What makes our Terranova Magnesium Complex so special? It contains magnesium bisglycinate chelate for superior absorption and effectiveness. The blend also includes botanicals and phytonutrient rich foods to enhance absorption and optimise benefits. With pyridoxal 5-phosphate (active Vitamin B6), it supports your hormones, nervous system, and serotonin production for better sleep.

Natroceutics Pure & Wild Omega 3:

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for mental health, acting as brain food to keep your mind sharp and your mood balanced. They fight brain inflammation, which can reduce depression and anxiety, and help brain cells communicate smoothly for better memory and focus. Think of omega-3s as the oil that keeps your brain’s engine running smoothly.

With studies showing omega-3 can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, adding them to your diet is a no-brainer. While you can get omega-3s from foods like salmon, mackerel, sardines, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts, concerns about pollution and farmed fish quality make it tricky to get enough from fish alone. 

If you struggle with dietary omega-3, try Natroceutics Omega 3 Pure and Wild—a clean, safe, and toxin free solution. Sourced from wild Alaskan pollock, known for its purity and is rigorously tested for contaminants and heavy metals. Each capsule contains optimal levels of EPA & DHA, ensuring high potency and sustainability. For unmatched purity and effectiveness, Natroceutics Omega 3 Pure and Wild is your go to choice.

Natroceutics Bioactive Ashwagandha:

Ashwagandha, often called the "king of herbs," has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its incredible mind and body benefits.

As an adaptogen, ashwagandha helps your body adapt to stress and reduces its negative effects. Feeling overwhelmed by your to do list? Ashwagandha can help you stay calm and balanced. It also boosts mood and reduces anxiety and depression by lowering cortisol levels, the stress hormone, which can make you feel more relaxed and at ease. 

This wonder herb is also great for improving sleep quality, helping you wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the day.

When it comes to supplements, quality is key. That’s why we recommend Natroceutics Bioactive Shoden® Ashwagandha, a scientifically proven, world-class extract. 

Each 120mg capsule contains a potent 35% withanolide glycoside, delivering fast acting benefits. Backed by clinical trials, this extract sets the gold standard for quality and effectiveness.

Natroceutics Saffron Bioactive Affron® Extract:

Let’s sprinkle some saffron into our mental health talk! This vibrant spice isn’t just for cooking; it has impressive benefits for your mind too.

Known as the “sunshine spice,” saffron boosts mood and can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, with just a small pinch uplifting your spirits. Packed with antioxidants, saffron protects your brain cells from damage, potentially improving cognitive function and memory. 

Saffron can also make you happier and help you think more clearly. Plus its ability to aid sleep, with its calming properties can help you relax and drift off more easily.

Adding saffron to your diet is simple: use it in cooking, add it to tea, or try it in supplement form. We recommend Natroceutics Bioactive Saffron, featuring the world’s leading saffron extract, Saffron Affron® Extract. 

Certified organic and backed by studies, it helps maintain a positive mood, relieve anxiety, and support stress eaters and overeaters. The perfect way to support your mental wellbeing, so, add a sprinkle of saffron sunshine to your life!
