How it works
Stress is one of many things that can cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate, making the body crave a “regulating” sugar fix. SUGAR STRESS uses a blend of naturally-occurring minerals and amino acids to stabilise sugar levels, including chromium (part of a molecule called chromodulin), which supports insulin in the processing of carbs, fats and protein. It also aids the efficient transport of glucose (blood sugar) into cells to be used for energy. L-Glutamine (an essential amino acid used by the body to make protein) works alongside co-enzyme Q10 to help maintain blood glucose levels, and also reduces the production of firmicutes, a type of bacteria in the gut known to “crave” sugar.
Stress triggers an increase in cortisol (our “fight-or-flight” hormone), which in turn depletes serotonin and dopamine (our “happy hormones”). Cortisol commands the body to release more glucose for energy in case we “come under attack”. SUGAR STRESS counteracts this stress response with rhodiola, a powerful adaptogen that aids your body’s reaction to stress and reduces anxiety (further research suggests rhodiola can even help improve concentration). Long-term stress can cause insulin resistance (which is responsible for controlling our glucose levels) and increased long-term sugar cravings – a reminder that the health of our mind and body are strongly interlinked.

Chromium in SUGAR STRESS maintains a steady metabolism, normal blood glucose levels and reduces tiredness and fatigue, often associated with that post-sugar lull.
Antioxidant co-enzyme Q10 is said to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar by limiting the speed at which glucose can be processed into energy.
THE STRESS SOLUTION ROUTINE
All of our products are designed to work together to preserve the health of your skin long-term.
BODY
In the last 50 years, our sugar consumption has tripled worldwide. Simultaneously, our stress levels have also increased to levels causing the World Health Organisation to label it the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century” (read more here). These issues are not isolated. When we eat sweet foods, it triggers our mesolimbic dopamine system (our brain’s “reward system”), which makes us feel good. When we’re stressed, we’re even more likely to crave sweet foods since sugar can suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in the brain, which controls our stress response.
PEOPLE

FAQs
We would not recommend using SUGAR STRESS whilst pregnant or breastfeeding. We suggest checking with your doctor, primary care physician, or midwife before using any new supplements whilst pregnant.
No, all our formulas are designed for adults (18+) and should not be given to children.
SUGAR STRESS is not a weight loss supplement, it is designed to aid in reducing our natural stress response, which can include sugar cravings. The formula uses several extracts and key minerals believed to help reduce sugar cravings, whilst also supporting healthy blood glucose levels (which stops you from craving more sugar) alongside adaptogenic Rhodiola which can help moderate the body’s stress response. Think of it as reprogramming your stress-induced sugar cravings.
In our consumer trials, testers saw significant results after 30 days with some reporting results after as little as 2 weeks. After 30 days, 83% of testers reported fewer sugar cravings, 78% felt they experienced a reduction in sugar cravings when stressed and 72% experienced fewer sugar “crashes”.
Absolutely. We know that removing a product from our line-up can be disappointing, but keeping our products streamlined makes way for better formulas and future favourites. If you were using METABOLISM, we think you’ll love SUGAR STRESS - and the results speak for themselves with 83% of testers in our consumer trial reporting fewer sugar cravings in 30 days.
SUGAR STRESS is a brand-new formula designed to target stress-induced sugar cravings, and which contains different ingredients. Fans of METABOLISM will love SUGAR STRESS - the results speak for themselves with 83% of testers in our consumer trial reporting fewer sugar cravings in 30 days. We decided to remove METABOLISM from our line-up because we felt there was a risk of customers assuming the formula designed for weight loss, which would never be our intention. Like all of our formulas, METABOLISM and the new SUGAR STRESS formula undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and purity in an FDA-approved facility. All of our formulas are non-GMO, contain GRAS affirmed key ingredients, and never contain any excipient or extracts with questionable health impacts.
