Stress & mood evidence brief
Specific oral lavender oil preparations have evidence for reducing anxiety symptoms, which may indirectly support sleep or training consistency for some users.
Lavender meta-analysis: oral Silexan 80 mg for at least 6 weeks improved Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores by about 2.9 points versus control.
Most positive oral evidence is for standardized Silexan-style lavender oil, commonly 80 mg/day, not aromatherapy oils or generic essential oils.
Only products explicitly formulated for oral use belong in this evidence category. Anxiety disorders deserve clinical care when symptoms are persistent or severe.

The score reflects evidence that the supplement does its stated job. Some jobs are direct, such as strength, endurance, or recovery; others are indirect, such as sleep, mood, appetite, or health support. A real effect can still receive a cautious practical rating when dose, safety, product quality, or audience fit remain uncertain.
