I take it because it has caffeine too! It's sort of like a weak, natural Red Bull in supplement form!
I don't find the Gaia adrenal blend necessarily calming. It smoothes out the rough edges. I suppose if you took more than three a day, the Holy Basil and Ashwaganda would probably chill you out. Usually, with these types of herbs, if you take a little, it gives you a more energizing effect and if you take more it's more subduing. What I love is that it addresses cortisol issues which I believe has been giving me fragmented sleep.
