The Claim
In adults with self-reported high stress, a supplement containing 400 mg Scutellaria baicalensis, 40 mg Crataegus laevigata, 56.3 mg magnesium, and 20 µg chromium improves social satisfaction scores, with 17.6% of users achieving a ≥30% improvement after 7 days compared to 2.9% in the placebo group.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among adults reporting high stress, a specific supplement containing Scutellaria baicalensis, Crataegus laevigata, magnesium, and chromium resulted in a 17.6% rate of at least 30% improvement in social satisfaction scores after 7 days, compared to 2.9% in those taking a placebo.
See the scientific wording
In adults with self-reported high stress, a supplement containing 400 mg Scutellaria baicalensis, 40 mg Crataegus laevigata, 56.3 mg magnesium, and 20 µg chromium improves social satisfaction scores in a subset of users, with 17.6% achieving ≥30% improvement after 7 days compared to 2.9% in the placebo group.
Active compounds in the supplement reduce overactivity in brain regions that respond to stress, increase calming signals between nerve cells, and boost mood-related chemicals, which makes people feel less anxious and more satisfied with their social interactions.
