Balance Your Mood

"Since I've been on LYMA, I haven't had a single panic attack."

Over the last five years, Clare had begun to experience panic attacks for the first time. "It's really frightening," she explains, "your whole body goes hot, cold, sweating. You just lose all ability to function properly." She would struggle to breathe, she said, until her husband would come and help her to calm down "so that you don't get to the point of passing out."

She would experience one or two a year, she said, until August 2020. It was at that time that her oldest son was just preparing for university, "and I found myself in a very anxious disposition: how was he going to cope? How was he going to settle in? Would he make friends?"

As the attacks became more frequent, Clare would begin to worry about them happening, which compounded the exhaustion and stress. As they usually happened in the middle of the night, she would dread going to sleep, "because I don't want to wake up and have that happen to me."

It was at this point that a good friend saw how Clare was feeling and told her she had felt the same when her son had left home a few years before. "She knew exactly what I was feeling, and so she recommended LYMA to me."

Clare's father is a chemist, so she sent him the formula to see what he thought. Impressed, he urged his daughter to give it a try. As soon as Clare started with the supplement, the change was palpable. Clare says she now gets eight hours of sleep a night and has not suffered a single panic attack.

Clare initially took the supplement for just a month - having ordered the starter kit - and seeing progress in such a brief time made her think "perhaps I'm feeling better again. So I actually stopped taking LYMA." In those intervening months she began to feel anxious and stressed again. After one particularly bad night's sleep, she says, "I came downstairs and I said to my husband: 'that's it. I need to get back on LYMA.'"

It is an investment, says Clare, but she knows it is the right one for her. Even her father, a retired chemist, could not find fault in the combination of nutrients LYMA were adding into her day.
