Feel Free® Classic Tonic for Stress

This trial aims to determine if the Feel Free® Classic Tonic can reduce stress in healthy adults. Researchers seek to understand how the tonic's ingredients affect stress levels and how the body processes them. Participants will receive either a placebo, a half-strength tonic, or a full-strength tonic. This trial may suit individuals who have felt stressed recently but are generally healthy, do not use nicotine, kava, or kratom products, and abstain from alcohol during the study. As an unphased trial, it offers a unique opportunity to contribute to scientific understanding and potentially discover new ways to manage stress.

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you must agree to follow restrictions on treatments and lifestyle, and any medications or supplements that might affect the study could be restricted by the investigator.

Research has shown that the Feel Free® Classic Tonic, containing kava and kratom, is generally well tolerated according to early data. Traditionally, kava and kratom are used to aid relaxation and mood. However, concerns exist regarding the tonic's ingredients, which have been linked to risks such as dependency, withdrawal symptoms, and liver damage. Some studies suggest that in higher amounts, these substances can act like opioids, potentially leading to serious health risks. Although marketed as safe, prospective trial participants should be aware of these potential issues.¹²³⁴⁵

Researchers are excited about Feel Free® Classic Tonic for stress because it uses a unique combination of natural ingredients: Kava root extract and Kratom leaf powder. Unlike standard stress treatments like SSRIs or benzodiazepines, which primarily alter neurotransmitter levels, Feel Free® offers a more natural approach, potentially reducing side effects associated with synthetic medications. Additionally, the tonic comes in two strengths, allowing for a customizable experience that could cater to different levels of stress and individual patient needs.

Research has shown that Feel Free® Classic Tonic, which contains kava and kratom, may enhance mood and cognitive abilities. Kava is known for its relaxing effects, while kratom can boost energy in small amounts and act as a strong painkiller in larger doses. In this trial, participants will receive either Feel Free® Classic Tonic at full strength, half strength, or a placebo. An early study found that the tonic improved mood and thinking skills in healthy adults compared to a placebo. However, concerns exist about potential health risks and addiction associated with kratom. Overall, initial findings suggest the tonic might help with stress, but caution is advised due to possible side effects.¹²⁶⁷⁸
