Stress Less, Sleep More. Here’s Why Ashwagandha Works…

With Mollie Mulligan and Dr. Laura Collins

Updated: October 8, 2025

What do trouble sleeping, high cortisol, irritability, and postmenopausal fatigue have in common?

They might all point to one thing…

A missing link in your stress response system: Sensoril® Ashwagandha.

In this science-packed interview, AlgaeCal’s Monica sits down with Dr. Laura Collins and Mollie Mulligan, two researchers from Kerry — the innovative company behind Sensoril® — one of the most clinically supported adaptogens on the planet.

Together, they reveal what makes this ancient herb actually work… when so many others don’t.

Because here’s the truth:

Most ashwagandhas don’t deliver.

But Sensoril® does.

So if you’ve tried adaptogens before and didn’t feel a thing? This interview might change your mind.

In this exclusive conversation, you’ll discover:

  • The hidden stress cycle that keeps you wired, tired, and emotionally drained. Break it for good, and you can finally feel calm, clear, and in control.
  • Get noticeable results at lower doses without side effects or sedatives. Why Sensoril® works when other ashwagandhas don’t… and what the root + leaf combo does differently.
  • Restore your mood, sleep, and sanity, naturally. What the HPA axis is, and how Sensoril® calms it without creating dependency.
  • Say goodbye to postmenopausal fatigue, hot flashes, and mood crashes. This adaptogen’s no gimmick. It’s backed by 15 clinical studies (and counting).
  • Why magnesium and Sensoril® work on two separate systems to improve mood, sleep, and stress resilience.
  • The clinical difference in just 2 weeks. Lower cortisol. Better sleep. Fewer meltdowns. More peace of mind.
  • Gentle enough for daily use. Powerful enough to change everything. Why Sensoril’s water-based extraction makes it safer on your system.
  • And much more…

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in survival mode — snapping at the people you love, lying awake with your brain spinning, or wondering why you still don’t feel calm — this conversation is for you.

Because if Laura and Mollie are right, the fix isn’t just another supplement.

It’s the right form of an ancient herb, backed by science, crafted with care, and soon available in the new Magnesium Relax formula from AlgaeCal.

    Is algae cal magnesium relax, the exact same formula as the algae cal I have been purchasing with you?

    Thanks for reaching out, Audrey! 🙂 No — AlgaeCal Magnesium Relax isn’t the same as the AlgaeCal Plus.

    AlgaeCal Plus is a natural, plant-based supplement that contains all 13 bone-supporting minerals to provide your bones with the nutrients they need — including calcium and magnesium!

    Magnesium Relax, on the other hand, is a highly absorbable, gut-friendly magnesium supplement that includes vitamin B6, zinc, Sensoril® Ashwagandha, and AlgaeCal’s Proprietary blend AlgaeCal Absorb™. It is designed to promote stress relief and deeper, more restful sleep.

    A full daily dose of AlgaeCal Plus already provides 350 mg of magnesium. However, because many people don’t get enough magnesium from their diet due to soil depletion, eating habits, diseases, aging, etc., adding 150–300 mg from Magnesium Relax can help support a healthy balance of calcium and magnesium in the body. 🙂

    I hope this helps, Audrey! Please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-free) or email [email protected] for any additional questions. We are happy to help.

    What is the optimal time to take Magnesium Relax if im already taking algae cal plus and strontium boost….

    Great question, Anne! 🙂

    Our Bone Health Expert, Lara Pizzorno, recommends a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium for optimal bone health. For example, if you’re getting about 1,200 mg of calcium per day (from food and supplements combined), your ideal magnesium intake would be around 600 mg.

    AlgaeCal Plus provides 350 mg of magnesium per daily 4 capsules, and depending on your diet, you can take between 2 to 4 capsules of Magnesium Relax to help you reach that balance. If you take 2 capsules of Magnesium Relax along with AlgaeCal Plus, you’ll be getting about 500 mg of magnesium. If you take 4 capsules of Magnesium Relax, your total magnesium intake would be around 650 mg per day.

    I hope this helps clarify things! 💚 Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions — you can call us at 1-800-820-0184 (US & Canada Toll-Free) or email [email protected]. We’re always happy to help!
