MANAGING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS
INSOMNIA
When withdrawing from alcohol, whether you are a frequent user or not, it can be hard to fall asleep and get a good quality of sleep.
Symptom management
To mitigate the withdrawal symptoms that can affect sleep cycles, we have included our ‘Relax & Sleep Complex’ in the program. It contains adaptogens that help to support the adrenal system and reduce stress in the body, thus helping fight insomnia and restless nights.
ANXIETY
For some people, Alcohol is greatly tied to feeling comfortable in social situations and so it is common to experience some anxiety during the early stages of sobriety.
Symptom management
There are many reasons why you may experience an increase in anxious feelings during withdrawal from alcohol. To ease this uncomfortable feeling we have included the Relax & Sleep Complex to help you unwind without the need to consume alcohol. Our ‘Serotonin Plus’ contains ingredients that help to regulate mood.
DEPRESSION
Alcohol use is often linked to depression, but sometimes you can experience serotonin imbalance during the first few weeks of sobriety, due to withdrawal from the substance as well as social factors.
Symptom management
Serotonin is an important mood regulator and so we have included in the program ‘Serotonin Plus’, which helps promote stable mood. This is important during the sobriety process as mood can often fluctuate due to withdrawal from alcohol.
SUGAR CRAVINGS
When you try to kick an alcohol addiction or dependency it can often be easy to fill the space with another dependency. Sugar cravings are often increased during the withdrawal process which can cause negative health problems.
Symptom management
Included in the program is our Rave not Crave complex, which contains Chromium which helps to reduce sugar cravings and may improve blood glucose control.
SUPPORTING THE BENEFITS
WEIGHT LOSS
Alcohol and common alcoholic drinks can have large amounts of hidden calories. Cutting out alcohol can trigger weight loss as you will likely be decreasing excessive caloric intake.
