Support for Stress & Anxiety
FEMALE, WEB DESIGNER
"As a business owner, with a large family and busy life - I was really 'spread thin' and feeling overwhelmed just getting through the daily necessities.
Stress and ongoing sleep interruption/deprivation is still a main trigger for me in the sudden onset of panic attacks and anxiety episodes. A friend recommended I give Voluntastrols a try.
WOW.
ONE week later, sleep improved – and it’s only been an upward spiral from there… a good catch-22
Two weeks later, feeling balanced, creative and energetic once more.
Really good quality sleep means I wake up feeling rested. My busy life and workload haven’t changed, my outlook and energy levels certainly have.
No anxiety, no panic attacks. Gone.
I feel balanced, for the first time in a LONG time. I’m just happier. Thank you’

2. MALE, AGE UNKNOWN
Testimonial written by patient’s wife to their prescribing doctor in USA.
'I have observed some gains in the 3 months that M has been taking Voluntastrols. Within 2 weeks of starting, I noticed that his sense of humour was returning, he began teasing us more like he did before his stroke.
He also seemed to be more aware of his environment. He began asking questions like “Why are you changing the sheets on Saturday rather than Friday?”
Within 3 weeks, he was making a few more sound to letter connections; the sound “da” is the letter “D”.
M returned to speech therapy at the University of NC at Greensboro 2 months after starting Voluntastrols.
The professor that he has been working with commented on a number of improvements that she saw after a 3 month break. They include:
• an appropriate sense of humourThank you for thinking of us with this supplement.'
3. 84yo FEMALE, RETIRED
I am a menopausal, type 1 diabetic. I had a concussion a number of years back, left a very stressful job and my father recently succumbed to Alzheimer’s. I started taking Voluntastrols at the end of last year and have reaped the benefits with marked clearer thinking, more positive attitude, more energy, better diabetic control and no, to minimal, hot flushes.
I knew that Voluntastrols were beneficial to brain health, so when my lovely mum had a stroke at the beginning of May this year, I immediately ordered Voluntastrols for her. My mum knew about Voluntastrols and my journey.
My mum, who lives in The Netherlands, on her own, had a stroke on a Friday evening but no one knew until the following morning when my sister came to check on her. My sister immediately called for an ambulance and my mum was taken to hospital where she received her diagnosis and initial care. Mum had a stroke, an Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident, which affected her face, which had drooped on the right side, speech, mobility of her right arm and leg.
Because of Covid-19, mum was put into two weeks isolation, after five days of medical care. After this period, her specialist organised for her to go into a rehab facility. The Voluntastrols arrived while she was in isolation. My sister got the Voluntastrols to her, together with her washing. She immediately started taking two in the morning and two before bed. However, mum never got to the rehab facility. She just couldn’t handle isolation and after a week she asked to go home. Her specialist let her out that same day. She visited her GP who told her that she would not get any better. Her face was still drooped on the one side, she had issues with talking, walking and her arm. She struggled with her speech (she’d get stuck on finding words – I’d tell her to take it slow, that I had all the time in the world). She was told that she would need help with preparing meals and that she would never drive again or take care of herself.
Well, four months on my mum takes a daily walk to a nearby river, does puzzles, Skypes me daily, speaks perfect Dutch (without getting stuck), is again speaking English, takes care of herself and others, is back cooking in the kitchen and has a perfect smile again.
When she went to see her GP a couple of weeks ago he was so stunned to see how well mum was doing. She told him about Voluntastrols.
She’ll be talking to her GP again to see how she can get back to driving her car.
My mum is just 84 years young, she has always had so much energy, and she worked part-time as a chiropodist up until her stroke and is now once again planning for the future.
I have my mum back again and am so incredibly grateful.

Support for Chronic Fatigue
1. 41yo MALE, SUPPORT WORKER
- Glandular fever at 17 years
- Testicular cancer at 24 years
- Ross River Virus at 36 years
- Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue at 38 years
By 2016 my energy was very low and seemed on a gradual downward trend, leading to not being able to work and barley function, eventually being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue. Symptoms ranging from joint pain, muscle aches, headaches, depression and general fatigue were all back again.
Natural approaches didn’t seem to touch the sides and out of frustration I started back on a mild steroid which got me back on my feet and back to work. Familiar side effects returned and soon became intolerable. After weaning off the steroid my energy went back downhill and I was once again too tired to work or function properly.
This is the time, about 12 months ago, when I was introduced to Voluntastrols. My experience has been completely positive. After around 3 weeks, I started feeling a difference in my energy - the best I can describe it is that I still had fatigue but there was something brewing in my body, the dull muscle aches were starting to reduce and a feeling of immune support was shaping. I just felt like my body was starting to learn to support itself.
After 2 months I was back at work part-time and could manage everyday life energy outputs with much more ease and with no side effects. So after 12 months on Voluntastrols I’m working almost full time hours again and have returned to my passion of surfing and enjoying life. It’s important for me to be clear and to not exaggerate the benefits. My body has been through a lot and I understand there is residual virus and symptoms that can, and do, pop up from time to time, but I can say with certainty that Voluntastrols have aided my recovery and given my body tools to support itself and maintain energy for daily needs.
I attended a chronic fatigue / Fibromyalgia conference last year where I met dozens of fatigue sufferers with very similar health backgrounds eg glandular fever, cancers, chronic fatigue. I would have no hesitation in recommending Voluntastrols as a natural alternative to what we mostly are prescribed eg pain medication and steroids, which myself and the people I met at the conference all had horrible side effects from. Not only do Voluntastrols work and work well, but they also have no side effects that I’ve experienced.
