GABA Calm
StressArrest™ by Designs for Health
Medical-grade calmative support for stress, anxiety and sleep.
StressArrest™ is a targeted nervous system support formula from Designs for Health, designed to help the body maintain a calmer, more balanced response to pressure.
It combines GABA, glycine and key B vitamins — including B3, B5 and B6 — to support neurotransmitter function, adrenal resilience, mood balance and the body’s natural ability to downshift. Designs for Health describes it as supporting healthy stress responses and neurotransmitter function. (Designs for Health)
This is not about numbing the system. It is about helping the body find enough calm to make better choices.
Why Dr Tam loves it
Dr Tam often uses StressArrest™ with clients who are stuck in the familiar loop of stress, anxiety, poor sleep and evening alcohol.
Not because alcohol is the real problem in isolation — but because it is often being used as a nervous system strategy.
A glass of wine becomes the downshift.
The reward.
The exhale.
The way to quieten the internal noise.
StressArrest™ can be a useful support when someone is trying to build healthier coping mechanisms: less reliance on alcohol to relax, more capacity to self-regulate, sleep, recover and meet pressure without tipping into overwhelm.
For Dr Tam, this is where it earns its place in the Wellgevity® toolkit. It supports the person who is tired, wired, stretched and overextended — the person whose system needs a softer landing.
May support:
- A calmer stress response
- Nervous system downshifting
- Mood balance
- Restful sleep
- Reduced reliance on alcohol as a coping tool
- Healthier evening routines
- Adrenal and neurotransmitter support
- Emotional steadiness during demanding periods
Stress is not just in the mind. It is chemistry, circuitry, behaviour and environment.
When the nervous system is constantly braced, we reach for whatever gives us relief — alcohol, scrolling, sugar, overworking, overtraining, control.
StressArrest™ is one of those simple, intelligent tools that can help create a pause. Enough calm to choose differently. Enough regulation to sleep. Enough steadiness to begin building new patterns.
For many people, that is where real change starts.
Use in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Dr Tam’s perspective
May support:
Glycine is a calming amino acid that may support mood, memory and sleep quality without the same heavy, sedated feeling some people dislike. (Designs for Health)
B vitamins help support neurotransmitter production, nerve health and adrenal function — all relevant when stress has been chronic or the body feels depleted. (Designs for Health)
