When it all gets too much: Burnout!

About 500,000 Austrians suffer from a burnout syndrome that requires treatment, and another 1.5 million inhabitants are at risk of “burning out”, according to latest estimates. Recent nutritional medicine studies show that plant substances and micronutrients can protect from burnout.

Someone who has “burned out” once “burned”
Burnout syndrome is a bit like a dead end street, a terminal condition of exhaustion, depression and other psychosomatic symptoms. However, it all started with a “burning”, an enthusiasm for something, more than 100% commitment and the need to prove something to yourself and to others. As a result of this extreme striving for achievement, personal needs including the need for rest and balance are neglected. At the same time the first signs of mental overload are ignored, until one day you just simply cannot continue. Over! Empty! Burned out!

Helpful anti-stress plants
Nutritional medicine studies have shown that plant substances and micronutrients can also help to improve stress resistance. It is known that ginseng, gingko, shizandra and roseroot as well as the amino acid taurine can ensure more balance and stress resistance. It is also very well known that the “adaptogens” contained in the plant substances can improve physical and mental resilience in a natural manner. Zinc, iron, copper, manganese and the vitamins of the B complex recharge empty energy batteries and improve performance.

Promoting sleep
Although burnout patients are worn out and tired, the quality of their sleep leaves a lot to be desired. Their sleep is impaired by long waking phases with negative thoughts. Therefore it is important for them to be able to sleep deeply and extensively. Here, too, plant substances and micronutrients offer important assistance. Vitamin B 6 and other nutrients ensure that the sleep hormone melatonin is produced. Choline promotes deep sleep, but it is also responsible for regenerated awakening. A new nutrient preparation offers both - improved stress resistance during the day and promotion of regenerating sleep. The preparation called “ReLoad24” to improve stress resistance (day and night capsules) is now available over the counter in pharmacies.
