Here’s something nobody tells you about anxiety. It doesn’t announce itself with a polite knock. One day, you’re fine, handling everything like a champ. The next day, your heart’s racing at 3 AM over an email you sent three weeks ago.
I’m David Miller. Over the past 7 years, working with 200+ companies (okay, maybe closer to 230, but who’s counting?), I’ve watched anxiety creep into every boardroom and home office. The stats are wild. According to the American Psychiatric Association’s 2024 poll, 43% of adults reported feeling more anxious than the previous year, up from 37% in 2023 and 32% in 2022. That’s not just a number. That’s your neighbor, your colleague, maybe even you reading this right now.
The stress relief supplement market hit $618.11 million in 2025 and experts say it’ll jump to over $1 billion by 2035. Why? Because people are tired of just surviving. They want solutions that actually work.
But here’s where it gets tricky. The market’s flooded with products claiming to fix your anxiety faster than you can say “deep breathing exercises.” Some work. Many don’t. I’ve tested dozens with my clients across freelancers, corporate warriors, and small business owners in places like Tulsa, Reykjavik, and Medan. Today, I’m sharing what actually moved the needle.
