Clinical Studies: Good Vibrations Blend

The research behind Good Vibrations Blend

Guided by the science. Grown by nature.

Good Vibrations Blend is a daily formula of six organic botanicals that supports a healthy stress response and calm, focused attention.* We use the root of ashwagandha and rhodiola, the part their trials studied, and ashwagandha leads the blend at 1,000 mg a serving.

Each study below is published and linked, with who took part, what they took, how much, for how long and what the researchers found.

Capsules, one serving (three capsules daily, preferably with a meal): 1,000 mg organic ashwagandha root · 500 mg organic lion's mane mushroom · 100 mg organic bacopa leaf · 100 mg organic lavender flower · 100 mg organic rhodiola root · 100 mg organic schisandra fruit.

All six are organic botanical powders. The lion's mane powder comes from fruit body and mycelial biomass cultured on organic oats.

Why it is built this way

From the root

The two ashwagandha trials and the rhodiola trial below tested extracts made from the root.[1][2][3] Good Vibrations Blend uses that same plant part, as whole root powder: 1,000 mg of ashwagandha root and 100 mg of rhodiola root in every serving.

Taken daily

The same three trials had people take the botanical every day for the full length of each study.[1][2][3] Good Vibrations Blend is built as a daily serving too: three capsules a day, preferably with a meal.

What the studies found

The big picture first. In 2014, family medicine researchers at SUNY Upstate Medical University reviewed the randomized human trials of ashwagandha for anxiety or stress and found five.[4] All five reported larger improvements with ashwagandha than in the comparison group, most of them statistically significant.

Perceived stress

  • Asha Hospital, Hyderabad, 2012: 64 adults aged 18 to 54 with a history of chronic stress took 600 mg a day of a concentrated ashwagandha root extract or a placebo for 60 days, and 61 finished. Perceived Stress Scale scores fell 44.0% from the start of the study on the extract and 5.5% on placebo (P < 0.0001 for the difference between the groups).[1]
  • Risk Care Hospital, Thane, 2019: 60 healthy adults with high Perceived Stress Scale scores took 250 mg or 600 mg a day of a concentrated ashwagandha root extract or a placebo for eight weeks, and 58 finished. The drop in stress scores was larger than on placebo at 250 mg (P < 0.05) and at 600 mg (P < 0.001), and serum cortisol fell more than on placebo at both amounts.[2]
  • Disclosure: the maker of the branded extract tested in both trials supplied it. Both papers declare no competing interests.

What we say about Good Vibrations Blend: it supports a healthy stress response.*

Attention

  • Naresuan University, 2014: pharmacy researchers pooled nine randomized, placebo-controlled trials of bacopa, with 518 people enrolled and 437 analyzed. Each trial used a standardized extract for 12 weeks or longer. Compared with placebo, the pooled results showed shorter Trail Making B times and faster choice reaction times, both timed tests of attention (both P < 0.001). The authors rated the trials at low risk of bias.[5]
  • Uppsala University, 2009: 60 men and women aged 20 to 55 who met Swedish national diagnostic criteria for fatigue syndrome took 576 mg a day of a standardized rhodiola root extract or a placebo for 28 days. Compared with placebo, the rhodiola group improved more on the Pines burnout scale and on three measures of attention.[3]

What we say: it supports calm, focused attention.*

The other ingredients

Lion's mane mushroom, 500 mg. Ours is organic lion's-mane mushroom powder from fruit body and mycelial biomass cultured on organic oats, a mushroom long valued in East Asian cooking and tradition.

Lavender flower, 100 mg. Lavender goes in as organic lavender flower powder, the same gentle flower traditionally steeped in calming teas.

Schisandra fruit, 100 mg. Schisandra, the five-flavor berry of traditional Chinese herbal practice, rounds out the blend.
