Holy Basil by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare works as well as the New Chapter brand I was taking. It really lowers the cortisol levels in my body, I can tell, because my tummy has gone down quite a bit. I couldn't lose weight, because of the high cortisol levels in my body. Holy Basil has greatly helped me reduce my stress levels, and now I am able to lose weight, I feel very calm when I take this twice a day.

Holy Basil got my insomnia and anxiety under control. I feel great since I started taking the supplement. Before Holy Basil, I tried all kinds of meds but nothing had long lasting effect. I'm taking one pill before bedtime and in rare cases when my anxiety is high I take one pill during the day and one before bedtime

I tried Holy Basil by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare, because of the good reviews, and it was more economical, this one is in powder capsule form, and the other brand I was using was in a gel capsule form. I don't know if that made a difference or not. I like it, but I was using another brand before this one, and it really helped with my cortisol levels. This one doesn't seem as strong, and it didn't help deflate my tummy like the other brand did, therefore, I am thinking, it didn't lower my cortisol levels as well.
