Pronounced "roy-boss", Why So Blue-Berry Rooibos offers a sweet, delicious flavor and high amounts of magnesium which is nature's way of helping the body react well to stress. Rooibos can also keep stress and anxiety at bay as the tea polyphenols aspalathin and nothofagin interfere with the production of cortisol. These two compounds were tested in a lab on adrenal cells that were stimulated to mimic a stress response like that which occurs in humans. The tests showed that Rooibos lowered the production of the stress hormone.
