You've tried magnesium. You've tried ashwagandha. You've tried L-theanine. And none of them worked consistently—because they only addressed one or two pathways while leaving the others broken.


That's why Steady Spirit is different. This is the first formula to restore all five systems your body needs for natural calm and restorative sleep—using the same research-backed ingredients I relied on in my clinical practice for 15 years.


No guessing. No pixie dust. Just five premium, patented forms at the exact doses proven effective in peer-reviewed research:


Affron® Saffron (28mg) – Mood support and sleep quality
L-Theanine (200mg) – Calm focus without drowsiness
Relissa® Lemon Balm Phytosome (200mg) – Enhanced absorption for better results
Sensoril® Ashwagandha (125mg) – Cortisol balance and stress resilience
Holy Basil (400mg, 2% ursolic acid) – Long-term stress adaptation


I watched these five ingredients transform my patients' lives over 15 years in clinical practice. And I've seen the research confirm what I observed: when you restore all five systems simultaneously, you finally get the lasting calm and restorative sleep you've been searching for.

Why You Can Trust These Ingredients Will Work

You've been burned by supplements before. Bottles full of promises that didn't deliver because they used cheap forms at doses too low to make a difference.


I've seen this frustrate my patients for years—so when I formulated Steady Spirit, I made a different choice. Every ingredient is:


• The exact premium form used in clinical research
• At the precise therapeutic dose shown effective
• Manufactured to pharmaceutical-grade standards


Here's what that means for you:


Affron® Saffron Extract (28mg)

The difference: Not generic saffron powder, but Affron®—the exact form used in 21 randomized controlled trials, standardized to specific crocin and safranal levels. (1)

Why you can trust it: This specific extract has been studied in clinical trials showing significant improvements in mood and emotional well-being. (2, 3) With generic saffron, you're guessing. With Affron®, you know what you're getting.

The dose that works: 28mg—the precise amount proven effective in peer-reviewed research


L-Theanine (200mg)

The difference: Not the 50–100mg "pixie dust" amounts found in most supplements, but pharmaceutical-grade L-theanine at 200mg—the clinical dose used in effectiveness studies.

Why you can trust it: Research shows 200mg increases alpha brain wave activity within 30–60 minutes, creating "calm alertness." (4) This is the dose that delivers results, not industry shortcuts.

The dose that works: 200mg—proven effective in peer-reviewed research


Relissa® Lemon Balm Phytosome (200mg)

The difference: Not standard lemon balm extract with poor absorption, but Relissa®—a phospholipid-enhanced phytosome with 3x better absorption and standardized active compounds.

Why you can trust it: The phytosome technology ensures active compounds reach your brain—standard extracts mostly break down before absorption. It directly activates GABA-A receptors while inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down your calming neurotransmitters. (5)

The dose that works: 200mg of the enhanced form—far more effective than standard extracts


Sensoril® Ashwagandha (125mg)

The difference: Not generic unstandardized root powder, but Sensoril®—a concentrated extract (10% withanolides, root + leaf) with consistent potency.

Why you can trust it: This 125mg delivers more active compounds than 500–600mg of standard ashwagandha. Clinical studies show it reduces cortisol levels by up to 30%. (6, 7) You get results without needing to swallow multiple large capsules.

The dose that works: 125mg of this concentrated form—more potent than 500mg of standard ashwagandha


Holy Basil (400mg, standardized to 2% ursolic acid)

The difference: Not generic holy basil with unknown potency, but standardized to 2% ursolic acid for consistent HPA axis support.

Why you can trust it: Ursolic acid is the key active compound that normalizes cortisol rhythm. Standardization means you know exactly what you're getting—every single time. (8)

What to Expect: Your Path Back to Calm

After 15 years using these ingredients in clinical practice, I can tell you what most patients experience. Your timeline may vary, but here's what you can expect:


Week 1-2: You'll Start to Notice the Difference

What you'll feel:
• Calmer when stressful situations arise (often within 30-60 minutes)
• Fall asleep noticeably faster than before
• Able to pause before reacting—fewer moments of snapping at loved ones
• Physical tension easing: tight chest, jaw clenching, shoulder knots begin to release

What's happening behind the scenes: L-theanine and lemon balm provide immediate GABA support. Saffron begins modulating serotonin and dopamine pathways.


Week 3-4: The Shift Becomes Obvious

What you'll feel:
• Sleeping through the night—waking up refreshed instead of groggy
• Morning anxiety fading (no more dread when the alarm goes off)
• More patient with your family—present instead of irritable
• Able to focus on what matters without anxious thoughts hijacking your attention

What's happening behind the scenes: Adaptogens are normalizing your cortisol patterns. Your HPA axis is beginning to recalibrate.


Week 5-8: You Feel Like Yourself Again

What you'll feel:
• Sustained calm throughout the day—stress doesn't control you anymore
• Resilient when challenges arise—situations that used to overwhelm you now feel manageable
• Natural energy without afternoon crashes or needing multiple coffees
• Genuinely yourself again: present, capable, and engaged with your life

What's happening behind the scenes: Complete HPA axis regulation is established. All five pathways are working in harmony: neurotransmitters balanced, stress hormones normalized, brain waves flexible, sleep architecture restored, and stress resilience rebuilt.

Important to Know:
Your timeline may differ based on how long you've been dealing with chronic stress and how consistently you take Steady Spirit. In my experience, about 75% of patients report significant improvement within 4 weeks when they take it as directed—and those results continue to build from there.

Your Questions Answered

No. This is a critical difference from sedatives or even melatonin. Steady Spirit promotes calm without sedation. L-theanine and holy basil actually support mental clarity and focus—they create what researchers call "relaxed alertness." You can take this in the morning for daytime stress support or in the evening for better sleep. Many of my patients take 1 capsule with breakfast and 1 with dinner. You won't feel foggy or impaired—you'll feel calmer and clearer.

Three critical differences: First, therapeutic dosing—our 200mg L-theanine and 28mg Affron® saffron match what's shown effective in peer-reviewed research, not the underdosed amounts in most supplements. Second, premium bioavailable forms—we use Sensoril® ashwagandha (10x more concentrated than standard powder), Relissa® lemon balm phytosome (3x better absorption), and Affron® saffron (standardized to specific active compounds from 21 clinical trials). Generic forms? Your body can barely use them. Third, the 5-pathway approach—ashwagandha alone addresses maybe 1.5 pathways. L-theanine alone addresses maybe 1 pathway. When you address all five simultaneously, you get results that single ingredients can't deliver.

Yes. These aren't harsh interventions or temporary fixes—they're natural compounds that support your body's normal stress response and mood regulation systems. Many of my patients have been taking Steady Spirit daily for years as part of their wellness routine. All ingredients have extensive safety research. Plus, all our products are: Manufactured in NSF-certified facilities following pharmaceutical-grade standards, Third-party tested for purity, potency, heavy metals, and contaminants (four rounds per batch), Formulated at doses within studied safe ranges. Important: As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have specific medical concerns, take medications, or are pregnant/nursing.

Take 2 capsules daily, with or without food. For stress and mood support: Many people take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening. For sleep support: Take 2 capsules 30-60 minutes before bed. Consistency is key—your body needs steady support to restore all five pathways.

Different pathways respond at different speeds. Immediate effects (30-60 minutes): Some people feel calmer within the first hour from the L-theanine and lemon balm. Early effects (1-2 weeks): Most people notice better sleep and reduced reactivity within the first two weeks. Full effects (4-8 weeks): Complete system rebalancing—normalized cortisol patterns, restored stress resilience, sustained calm—typically takes 4-8 weeks of consistent use. Remember: you're not just masking symptoms. You're rebuilding five broken systems. Real restoration takes time, but it's lasting.

Steady Spirit is generally well-tolerated and can be taken with most supplements. However, if you're taking prescription medications—especially for mood, sleep, or anxiety—consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. They can advise on potential interactions specific to your situation.

Why This Is Different from Everything You've Tried

You've already spent money on supplements that didn't work—magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, maybe even prescription medications. They only addressed one or two pathways while leaving the others broken.

With Steady Spirit, you're not trying another ingredient. You're implementing the complete protocol that addresses all five systems simultaneously—the same approach I use with patients in my clinical practice.

Here's why the 90-day supply makes sense: Full restoration typically takes 4-8 weeks of consistent use. The 90-day supply ensures you have enough to experience the complete transformation, not just the initial effects. You'll know for certain whether this works for you.

This isn't an expense—it's an investment in feeling like yourself again. And with our 90-day guarantee, you're protected either way.

A Final Word from Chris

Chris Kresser, Founder

I created Steady Spirit because I was tired of watching patients suffer while taking incomplete solutions. I was frustrated seeing people blame themselves when their supplements were the problem—underdosed, wrong forms, single-pathway approaches that couldn't address all five systems.

Every ingredient. Every dose. Every form. Chosen because I've watched it transform outcomes in my clinical practice—and because the research confirms what I've observed.

Here's what I want you to know: You're not broken. Your supplements have been incomplete.

Try the complete protocol. Experience what happens when all five systems are restored simultaneously.

I'm confident you'll finally get the calm and restful sleep you've been searching for.
