Anxiety Free combines B vitamins with proprietary herbal blends for stress and mood. While B vitamins are beneficial, the undisclosed herbal ingredient amounts make efficacy hard to assess, and the broad goal claims dilute its focus.
RidgeCrest Herbals' 'Anxiety Free' aims to support mood and reduce stress primarily through a blend of B vitamins and several proprietary herbal complexes (Tonic Herbal Stress Release, Mental Stress Support, Ayurvedic Herbal Stress Complex). The B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Biotin) are well-established for their roles in energy production, nervous system function, and stress response, which indirectly contributes to mood and cognitive support. However, the undisclosed nature of the specific herbs and their quantities within the proprietary blends is a major concern, as it prevents consumers and experts from assessing if therapeutic doses of key adaptogens or calming herbs are present. The product also lists an extensive and disparate array of goals, from 'Heart Health' to 'Testosterone Support,' which suggests a generalist approach rather than a highly targeted one, potentially diluting its impact on its namesake goal of 'Anxiety Free' living.
- Contains a comprehensive array of B vitamins essential for energy metabolism and nervous system health.
- Includes various herbal complexes that traditionally support stress response and mood, though specific dosages are unknown.
- Relies heavily on proprietary herbal blends, which obscure the actual dosages of active compounds, making efficacy and value difficult to ascertain.
- Claims an overly broad range of health goals, some of which are unlikely to be significantly supported by the current ingredient profile.
- The price per serving is relatively high for a product with undisclosed main ingredients.
- Individuals with sensitivities to specific herbs may not be able to identify them due to proprietary blends.
- The efficacy for certain claimed goals (e.g., Testosterone Support, Vision Support) is questionable based on the ingredient list.

Categories
Niacin 60.0
Contains 25mg of Niacinamide, a form of B3 that supports energy metabolism and cell signaling without causing the common 'niacin flush.' This dose is beneficial for general nutritional support.
Thiamin 60.0
Provides 25mg of Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), which is a good dose for its role in energy conversion from food and maintaining healthy nerve function.
Vitamin B6 60.0
With 25mg of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, this product delivers a solid dose of Vitamin B6, essential for amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, supporting brain and nerve health.
Goals
Energy 65.0
The presence of a full spectrum of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, Biotin) directly supports cellular energy production. These vitamins are cofactors in numerous metabolic pathways that convert food into energy, providing a legitimate basis for this claim.
Stress Relief 60.0
The product contains B vitamins vital for neurological function and stress resilience, alongside herbal blends which may offer calming effects. However, the specific quantities of these herbs, crucial for their effectiveness in stress relief, are hidden within proprietary formulas.
Metabolism Boost 60.0
B vitamins are essential for various metabolic processes, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Their inclusion in this supplement supports general metabolic health rather than offering a specific 'boost' for weight loss.
