>Sure. I think my order is coming from India so it may be a couple of weeks before I get it.
I was browsing the health food store last week and came across a product called StressCare, another ayurvedic formulation from the same company. http://www.himalayausa.com/products/stress/pg_1.html
While at work last week I took 1 Stresscare tablet on two consecutive afternoons. It had a mild calming effect somewhat like valium but not as strong. I was not at all cognitively impaired. I noticed that one of the ingredients is 'mucuna pruriens' that BarbaraCat and others have been discussing in another thread.
The biggest problem I've had with plant based formulations is poop-out. Many seem to work at first then lose their effectiveness.
