At first glance, lavender might just seem like a pretty herb with a nice scent, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Lavender oil has been researched and used for more than its appearance, and at Nature’s Way we rely on a specially studied extract called Silexan™ that’s been shown to support stress and sleep in several meaningful ways.

What is Silexan?

Silexan is a standardized essential oil extracted from English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) via steam-distillation. It’s designed to be taken orally, is non-habit forming, and has been studied in multiple clinical trials.

Lavender itself has a long history in traditional wellness practices, and the development of Silexan builds on those traditions, supported by modern science.

What are the benefits of Silexan?

With consistent use, Silexan has been shown to yield several supports that may resonate with Canadians juggling busy lives:

•    Clinically shown to help improve quality of sleep in those with mild mental stress.
•    Helps relieve symptoms of mild stress such as racing thoughts.
•    Traditionally used in herbal medicine for relief of mild symptoms of mental stress and exhaustion and to aid sleep.

Why choose Silexan?

There are lots of lavender-based oils out there. What makes Silexan stand out is that it’s one of the few oral lavender essential oils backed by multiple published, controlled, clinical trials. That means it’s been studied for safety and effectiveness—not just used traditionally. 

Bringing it home in Canada

If you’re living in Canada and want to integrate this into your wellness routine, it’s simple. The product formulated with Silexan is called CalmAid® by Nature’s Way. Each softgel contains 80 mg of Silexan. 

As always, consult your healthcare provider before adding any new supplements to your routine.
