Stress-Ez by Botanic Choice is an herbal supplement designed to help combat stress and promote relaxation naturally. It works by replenishing nutrients that often become depleted during periods of anxiety, aiming to ease tension, mellow your mood, and quiet your mind while relaxing your body. The formula includes a blend of traditional herbs known for their calming properties, such as Kava Kava (root extract), Valerian, St. John’s Wort (flower heads), and Chamomile (flowers), along with Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) to support overall well-being.
The supplement is intended for adults and comes in capsule form, with a recommended dosage of one capsule daily, taken with a meal. It’s marketed as a way to help individuals unwind and enjoy life more fully, especially in today’s fast-paced, stress-filled world. However, it carries specific warnings: it may cause drowsiness, so users should avoid operating vehicles or heavy machinery after consumption, and it’s not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, or those with certain medical conditions, without consulting a doctor. Additionally, Kava Kava, one of its key ingredients, has been associated with a potential risk of rare but severe liver injury, as noted by the U.S. FDA, and users are advised to monitor for symptoms like unexplained fatigue or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
Botanic Choice positions Stress-Ez as a customer favorite, emphasizing its natural approach to stress relief with high-quality ingredients. The product is part of their broader line of herbal remedies, crafted to support emotional balance and physical relaxation.
Useful information on Kava Kava:
Key Points
Research suggests Kava Kava, from the Piper methysticum plant, helps reduce anxiety, with evidence leaning toward effectiveness at doses of 20–300 mg of kavalactones.  
It seems likely that Kava Kava promotes relaxation by affecting brain chemicals like GABA, but liver damage is a serious risk, especially with long-term use.  
The evidence leans toward caution, with rare but severe liver injury reported, making it unsafe for pregnant women, those with liver issues, or Parkinson’s disease.
What is Kava Kava?
Kava Kava is an herbal ingredient derived from the root of the Piper methysticum plant, native to the South Pacific islands. It’s traditionally used in ceremonies for relaxation and is now found in supplements . Its active compounds, called kavalactones, are believed to calm the mind by affecting neurotransmitters like GABA, similar to some sedatives.  
Benefits and Uses
Studies, including a 2002 Cochrane review, suggest Kava Kava may significantly reduce anxiety compared to placebo, with some evidence it improves mood and sleep quality at doses around 300 mg. However, research is limited for other conditions like insomnia, and benefits are not guaranteed for everyone.  
Risks and Safety Concerns
While it can help with anxiety, Kava Kava has serious risks, including rare but severe liver damage,  especially with long-term high doses. Other side effects include digestive upset, headaches, dizziness, and a skin condition called kava dermopathy from prolonged use. It’s unsafe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for those with liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, hepatitis), or Parkinson’s, and can impair driving or machinery operation. Due to these risks, it’s recommended not to take it for more than 4 weeks and only under a doctor’s supervision.  
Cultural Context
Kava Kava is central to Pacific Island cultures, used in social and religious ceremonies, often prepared as a drink, which adds a rich cultural layer to its modern medicinal use.
