Quick Facts

Who Strest Is For

• Adults dealing with the symptoms of everyday stress
• People feeling mentally or physically tired, or a sense of weakness
• Anyone who wants several adaptogens in one daily capsule
• Those who prefer an alcohol-free capsule to a tincture
• People who want a vegan formula made with certified organic herbs

Who this product is NOT for:

• Pregnant women — the label says do not use
• Anyone with high blood pressure, bipolar disorder or bipolar spectrum disorder — the label says do not use
• People taking antidepressants, heart medication, hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills, unless a health-care practitioner approves it first
• Anyone combining it with alcohol or other products with sedative properties

Vitamart's Take

Strest is a well-rounded daily adaptogen formula. Instead of choosing between ashwagandha, rhodiola or holy basil, you get all three plus eleuthero, oat and schisandra in one capsule — 340 mg of 5:1 extract, equivalent to 1,700 mg of dried organic herbs. Three capsules a day makes the 90-count bottle a one-month supply, which lines up with the label's advice to check in with a practitioner for use beyond one month. Read the cautions carefully, since adaptogens aren't right for everyone — especially people with high blood pressure.

How Strest Capsules Compare

Capsules vs. Strest liquid

St. Francis Strest Liquid is the tincture version of this ashwagandha formula. The capsules are alcohol-free and easy to take on the go; the liquid lets you take it in water by the drop.

Six-herb blend vs. ashwagandha alone

St. Francis Ashwagandha KSM-66 capsules are a single-herb option. Strest spreads its dose across six adaptogens for broader support.

Strest vs. rhodiola capsules

St. Francis Rhodiola Capsules focus on rhodiola only. Strest includes rhodiola alongside holy basil, eleuthero, ashwagandha, oat and schisandra.
