Anxiety is a natural response of the body to situations of stress, worry, or uncertainty. At specific times, it can help us react and face certain situations, but when that feeling persists over time, it can affect rest, concentration, and daily well-being.
Learning to recognize the signs, taking care of habits, and seeking support when necessary are important steps to gradually regain a greater sense of balance.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is part of our body's natural alert mechanism. It can appear in the face of pressure, significant changes, worries, or periods of greater physical or mental demand.
In some people, it manifests as nervousness or a feeling of restlessness, while in others it can appear as difficulty concentrating, trouble switching off, sleep disturbances, muscle tension, or the feeling of having a constantly racing mind.
Furthermore, calm and concentration are more related than we sometimes think. When we are nervous, worried, or subjected to too many stimuli, maintaining attention can be more difficult. For this reason, some wellness routines seek not only to promote serenity but also to support concentration and mental performance during the day.
When these sensations are intense, persist over time, or interfere with daily life, it is important to visit a healthcare professional to assess each case individually.
Habits that can help regain calm
In addition to professional support when necessary, some simple habits can help reduce the feeling of overload and take care of emotional well-being in daily life.
- Practice mindful breathing: dedicating a few minutes to breathing slowly and deeply can help create small moments of pause.
- Stay active: walking, moderate exercise, yoga, or any physical activity that is pleasant helps release accumulated tension.
- Take care of rest: maintaining regular schedules, reducing screen time before bed, and creating a calm nighttime routine can facilitate switching off.
- Reduce stimulants: high consumption of coffee, energy drinks, or alcohol can increase the feeling of nervousness in some people.
- Organize your day: breaking down tasks, setting priorities, and reserving moments for rest helps reduce the feeling of overwhelm.
- Reduce overstimulation: setting aside some time without a mobile phone, social media, or notifications can be useful when we feel that the mind cannot stop.
Natural support for calm and the nervous system
Food supplements are intended to complement the diet and healthy habits. They do not replace medical or psychological treatment when it is necessary, but there are nutrients, amino acids, and natural extracts that can be part of routines aimed at calm, concentration, and emotional well-being.
L-theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid naturally present in green tea leaves and is one of the ingredients most used in supplements aimed at calm, serenity, and concentration.
For adults and adolescents, we have Teresa Pons Liquid Theanine, a format that is easy to incorporate into daily life. For the little ones, we have Theanine Kids, a liquid formula adapted for children from 3 years old with a banana flavor to make it easier to take.
In this way, L-theanine can be integrated into calm and concentration routines for both adults and children, always respecting the instructions corresponding to each age.
Magnesium
Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. For this reason, it can be especially interesting in times when daily stress is combined with a feeling of physical or mental exhaustion.
One option within our selection is Magnesium Bisglycinate, a form of magnesium that is easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
Omega 3
Among Omega 3 fatty acids, DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function when the recommended daily intake is reached.
For this reason, Athion Plus Omega 3 can be part of routines related to concentration and cognitive well-being. In addition, it is one of the products we have incorporated into our calm and concentration packs, for both adults and adolescents as well as children.
Ingredients for memory and concentration
When nervousness is accompanied by scattered thoughts, mental fatigue, or difficulty maintaining focus, it can also make sense to pay attention to nutrients and extracts commonly used in formulas aimed at cognitive performance.
Active Memory combines phosphatidylserine, choline, taurine, inositol, bacopa, ginkgo biloba, B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc. It is a formula designed to support memory, attention, and concentration during periods of higher mental demand.
Adaptogens and daily well-being
Adaptogens are plants and fungi that have traditionally been used in routines aimed at balance and general well-being. In recent years, they have gained special popularity among people looking to support times of greater physical or mental demand.
One of the best-known is Organic KSM-66 Ashwagandha, traditionally used in Ayurveda and currently very present in routines related to daily stress and balance.
We also find fungi such as Reishi Plus and Lion's Mane. Reishi is traditionally used in wellness and vitality routines, while Lion's Mane has become especially popular in formulas aimed at focus and mental clarity.
For those who prefer to combine both fungi, the Adaptogenic Mushroom Pack brings together Reishi Plus and Lion's Mane in the same routine.
Not all supplements have the same goal. That is why it is important to choose based on whether we are mainly looking for calm, concentration, rest, or support for a more demanding stage.
When we seek calm and concentration at the same time
Feeling calmer does not always mean wanting to sleep or disconnect completely. During work, studies, or daily tasks, many people seek to maintain attention and performance, but with a greater sense of serenity.
In these cases, it may make sense to combine ingredients related to calm with nutrients and formulas aimed at concentration and cognitive function. This is precisely the idea from which some of our packs are born.
Calm and Concentration Pack +12 years
When looking for a more complete option, the Calm and Concentration Pack +12 years brings together three complementary products: Liquid Theanine, Active Memory, and Athion Plus Omega 3.
The combination allows you to approach the routine from different angles: L-theanine in liquid format, a specific formula for memory and attention, and a contribution of Omega 3 with DHA, which contributes to normal brain function.
It can be especially interesting for adolescents from 12 years old and adults during stages of study, intense work, higher mental demand, or moments when it is more difficult to maintain calm and focus simultaneously.
Hyperactivity Pack
When, in addition to difficulty concentrating, restlessness or a feeling of acceleration predominates, another alternative is the Hyperactivity Pack, which brings together different products aimed at supporting calm, attention, and concentration within the same routine.
And when restlessness or lack of concentration appears in children?
Children can also go through stages in which it is difficult for them to maintain attention, they are especially restless, or they appear more nervous than usual.
Starting school, routine changes, times of greater demand, or simply the daily pace itself can influence their ability to concentrate and remain calm.
In these cases, it is especially important to observe the whole: rest, schedules, diet, physical activity, screen time, and emotional environment. When attention difficulties, impulsivity, or restlessness are persistent, professional monitoring remains fundamental.
As a complement to these habits and professional follow-up when appropriate, we also have products and packs specifically adapted to childhood.
Kids Calm and Concentration Pack
The Kids Calm and Concentration Pack is designed for children from 3 years old and combines Theanine Kids, Athion Plus Omega 3, and Attention Deficit Bach Flowers.
The combination is aimed especially at learning stages and moments when it is difficult to maintain focus or when dispersion, restlessness, or nervousness appear during daily tasks.
It brings together three complementary approaches within the same routine: L-theanine in liquid format, Omega 3 with DHA, and a Bach Flower formula aimed at attention and concentration.
Kids Hyperactivity Pack
When restlessness, impulsivity, or difficulty staying calm predominate, the Kids Hyperactivity Pack may be a better fit.
This pack combines Theanine Kids, Athion Plus Omega 3, and Hyperactivity Bach Flowers.
It is designed to support children with greater restlessness or impulsivity within a routine that combines L-theanine, Omega 3, and floral essences.
In all cases, we recommend following the usage instructions for each product. Supplements can be part of the routine but do not replace professional assessment or follow-up when there are persistent difficulties with attention, behavior, or anxiety.
Frequently asked questions
Do supplements eliminate anxiety?
No. Food supplements can be part of a routine aimed at emotional well-being, but they do not replace medical or psychological care when there is an anxiety problem.
Their use makes more sense within a global approach that includes rest, physical activity, a balanced diet, and habits that help reduce daily overload.
Can several products be combined at once?
It depends on the composition of each formula and personal circumstances. When packs are used, the products have been selected to be integrated within the same routine by following the indicated usage guidelines.
If you are taking medications, have diagnosed pathologies, or have questions about possible interactions, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional beforehand.
Can these products also be used in children?
Not all supplements are suitable for all ages. That is why it is important to choose products specifically indicated for children and always respect their usage guidelines.
At Teresa Pons, we have children's options such as Theanine Kids and specific packs such as the Kids Calm and Concentration Pack and the Kids Hyperactivity Pack, both designed for children from 3 years old.
When should I go to a specialist?
If anxiety or nervousness is intense, persists over time, or interferes with sleep, work, studies, relationships, or daily activities, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional.
In children, it is also advisable to seek professional assessment when attention difficulties, restlessness, or impulsivity are persistent and significantly affect their day-to-day life.
Taking care of calm is also part of well-being
We cannot always eliminate the situations that generate stress, but we can take better care of how we face them.
Resting, maintaining stable routines, reducing overstimulation, moving, and finding small moments of pause can make an important difference. And when we seek additional support, choosing formulas suitable for our age and specific needs can help us complement that daily care.
Food supplements should not be used as substitutes for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. In case of pregnancy, breastfeeding, pharmacological treatment, or diagnosed disease, consult a healthcare professional beforehand.
