A Specialized Nutraceutical for Pre-burnout

High demands, professional overload and emotional stress are well known negative influences on mental health. Chronic stress-related occupational diseases, especially Burnout, are becoming an important issue. Burnout can be defined as a negative affective state consisting of emotional exhaustion, cognitive weariness and physical fatigue, which is caused by chronic psychosocial stress. Currently, there is no standard treatment for Burnout but different forms of psychological interventions are usually attempted. Also the administration of anxiolytics, antidepressants and sedatives only targets symptoms with a risk of addiction. Recently, adaptogen plants have shown promising effects (e.g. Siberian Ginseng, Panax Ginseng, Rhodiola rosea and Ashwagandha) by increasing the body's ability to resist stress and exert a balancing effect on various systems of the body. This study is focused on the effect of a specialized nutraceutical, containing adaptogen plants (Ashwagandha, Rhodiole rosea, Ginseng) as well as Vitamins and minerals (e.g. Vitamin C) needed for a normal hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulation in subjects suffering of early Burnout symptoms (pré-Burnout).
