Product analysis
Ultra Strength Goodbye Stress brings together ashwagandha, GABA, theanine and lemon balm for stress support. Theanine offers limited value at the serving price, which weakens the case for choosing it on cost alone.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality20
The key ingredient forms are not clearly disclosed. That limits a precise comparison of the plant ingredients and other active components.
Ingredient Transparency63
Ingredient amounts are listed, but the forms are not clearly disclosed. You can check quantities more easily than the precise identity of the ingredients.
Value For Money33
Theanine offers limited value, while GABA is only modestly economical. Value for the remaining ingredients is uncertain.
Customer Satisfaction81
Customer feedback is favorable across a substantial number of ratings. Those opinions describe satisfaction, rather than proving health benefits or safety.
Product Focus62
The combination has some support for its intended uses, including stress support. It spans several goals, so the expected benefits are not equally clear for every use.

Ashwagandha · 125 mgGABA · 100 mgTheanine · 100 mg
Ashwagandha extracts may help perceived psychological stress, although extract identity, duration and outcomes affect how well findings apply. The declared amount is below the generic supplied reference, and extract equivalence is not established. Theanine may help with short-term relaxation and tension during stressful tasks; sustained mood and anxiety findings are mixed. Its 100 mg serving provides partial exposure against the supplied amount reference. GABA has limited short-term task-stress findings, but narrow settings and food preparations leave lasting supplement benefit uncertain.

High effect
Theanine · 100 mg
Theanine may help relaxation and some aspects of sleep quality, while oral GABA has limited sleep evidence. Ashwagandha adds a possible stress-related sleep contribution, but this generic extract cannot be equated with the preparations studied over several weeks. The modest amounts limit the contribution expected from this serving. Lemon balm is present at an amount too small to contribute meaningfully in the saved findings.
How this product is rated for Sleep Support
Ingredient fit71
Theanine, GABA and ashwagandha give this formula a sleep-related focus, with modest amounts limiting their contributions.
Goal fit
The main contributors relate to sleep timing, relaxation or stress-related sleep support.
Dose adequacy
Amounts provide uneven support; smaller servings of relevant ingredients limit their contribution.
Pathways40
Neural calming is the main supported route; stress-related support is smaller.
Depth
Theanine and GABA make neural calming the strongest route.
Breadth
Calming is the only strongly covered route; stress-related support remains smaller.
Evidence81
Theanine provides the strongest support here; GABA evidence is limited, and the ashwagandha extract does not match an identified studied preparation.
Evidence strength
Theanine provides the strongest support here, based on small studies with some improved sleep measures.

Effective doses
All counted contributors meet the saved amount threshold; this is not proof of a clinically effective dose.
Impact
Moderate effect
Ashwagandha · 125 mg
Theanine may ease stress-related tension, though the clearest benefit concerns a higher amount than the 100 mg serving here. Its potential calming effect doesn't mean a lasting improvement in mood. The ashwagandha preparation and amount also matter, so the presence of that ingredient doesn't by itself predict additional stress relief.
How this product is rated for Mood Support
Ingredient fit72
Theanine may ease stress-related tension; a lasting mood benefit remains uncertain.
Goal fit
Theanine may ease stress-related tension; a lasting mood benefit remains uncertain.
Dose adequacy
A serving provides Lemon balm 75 mg, GABA 100 mg, Theanine 100 mg, Ashwagandha 125 mg. These amounts don't guarantee a mood benefit.
Pathways16
The ingredients relate to mood through the roles described below; these roles do not predict an individual benefit.
Depth
The ingredients relate most closely to calming nerve activity, which is distinct from a reliable improvement in mood.
Breadth
The ingredients provide limited support across the mood-related roles considered.
Evidence61
Theanine may ease stress-related tension; a lasting mood benefit remains uncertain.
Evidence strength
Theanine may ease tension associated with mental stress, while a lasting mood benefit remains uncertain.
Studied preparation
The identified ingredient preparations permit comparison, but matching a preparation does not guarantee the same mood benefit.
Formulation logic100
No particular ingredient conflict or missing required partner is identified.
Partner coverage
No required ingredient partner is missing; this does not imply an added benefit from combining ingredients.
Conflicts
No particular ingredient conflict is identified.

Impact
Moderate effect
Theanine · 100 mg
Theanine at 100 mg may support sustained attention, based on a small task-based trial. Ashwagandha findings depend on the extract and remain too limited to support a reliable expectation of sustained work improvement.
