Why More People Are Switching to D-Stress Gummy Over Alcohol

For many, a glass of wine or a cocktail has become synonymous with unwinding after a long day. But while alcohol may provide temporary relief, it can take a toll on your body, brain, and overall wellbeing — especially when consumed regularly.

At Tides, we believe there’s a better way to relax. That’s why we created D-Stress, a calming, non-drowsy peptide gummy designed to support mental clarity, ease anxiety, and promote deep, lasting calm — all without the hangover.

The Facts About Alcohol & Stress

Before you reach for that drink, consider these lesser-known effects of alcohol:

1. Alcohol increases anxiety long-term.
While alcohol acts as a short-term depressant, it disrupts neurotransmitters like GABA and glutamate, which can increase anxiety once the effects wear off — often referred to as "hangxiety."

2. Alcohol impacts sleep quality.
Even a single drink can interfere with your REM cycle, leading to lighter, more fragmented sleep and reduced recovery — even if you fall asleep faster.

3. Alcohol contributes to inflammation.
Chronic alcohol use can promote systemic inflammation, disrupt gut health, and suppress immune function — the opposite of what your body needs when you’re stressed or overwhelmed.

Why Choose D-Stress?

D-Stress offers a smart, science-backed alternative to nightly drinks. Formulated with two powerhouse ingredients — DHH-B (Dihydrohonokiol-B) and L-Theaninethis gummy is designed to calm the mind without impairing your focus or energy.

Here’s how it works:

  • DHH-B is a bioavailable compound from magnolia bark (honokiol) that interacts with GABA-A receptors in the brain — the same calming receptors alcohol affects but without intoxication or addiction risk.
  • L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea, promotes alpha brainwave activity and balances dopamine and serotonin — enhancing focus, emotional regulation, and a sense of calm.

Together, they deliver a relaxing, centered feeling — no drowsiness, no disruption, no regrets.

The Modern Way to Unwind

Swapping your evening drink for D-Stress isn’t about restriction — it’s about elevating your routine.

  • Wake up feeling refreshed, not foggy
  • Support your brain, nervous system, and emotional health
  • Protect your long-term wellness — without giving up your evening ritual

Whether you’re sober-curious, focused on recovery, or simply looking for a smarter way to de-stress, D-Stress meets the moment.
