The days are getting short, the dark season dominates our lives, the end of the year is approaching, Christmas is just around the corner.
During the pre-Christmas season, social pressure increases and our emotional expectations are heightened. We are expected to organize gifts, plan family visits, and also solve the worries and problems of family members and friends.
Professionally, the outstanding projects still need to be completed urgently and definitively, and the various annual financial statements need to be processed with high priority.
All of these factors increase our stress levels and deplete our energy reserves.
According to surveys, around 40% of Germans feel more stressed than usual during the pre-Christmas period. More precisely, almost 20% report a high stress level, while nearly 55% experience the time as "somewhat stressful" but still positive. 46% of 18- to 29-year-olds report increased stress during Advent, which is attributed to a high level of activity. More than a quarter of all women (27%) find Christmas very stressful, compared to about one in five men.
As a result, we spend less time outdoors, do less sport, and experience a high level of sensory input.
We react to this multiple burden with fatigue and exhaustion, concentration problems, irritability, and lack of motivation. These states of exhaustion can lead to illnesses, which in the best-case scenario manifest only as a cold or flu-like infection.
We can also prevent sensory overload by consciously slowing down and scheduling down time. Even in bad weather, we should make walks a regular occurrence and then relieve stress with warming routines involving candles, tea, and relaxation exercises.
Since we know, of course, that good intentions are not always feasible, we have also found an effective answer to this widespread problem at PDB.
The following active ingredient logic formed the basis of our "Energy" product:
The adaptogenic plant extract from Siberian Rhodiola contains salidrosides, which help the body to better cope with mental stress and increase concentration – especially in cases of mental fatigue.
American ginseng is traditionally used to promote energy and vitality. Its ginsenosides ideally support mental performance during prolonged periods of stress.
Bacopa monnieri extract, also known as Brahmi in Ayurveda, is valued for its effects on memory, focus, inner peace, and mental balance. Its adaptogenic and neuroprotective bacosides, which have been studied, can support cognitive performance, memory, and stress resistance.
L-theanine works synergistically with caffeine: It promotes a focused, alert state without restlessness or nervousness. The perfect balance for clear thinking combined with inner peace.
A powerful antioxidant that is both fat- and water-soluble. It protects the mitochondria – the powerhouses of the cells – and thus supports cellular energy production and regeneration.
Our customers report an immediate energy boost after taking just one vegan capsule. That's why we call this product a "short-distance runner," as the effect begins approximately 1-2 hours after ingestion. Unlike several espressos or energy drinks, this energy capsule doesn't cause unproductive jitters; instead, it increases concentration, improves mental and physical performance, and enhances stress resilience.
In cases of severe stress, taking Energy in combination with vitamin B complex and magnesium is recommended.
