These are supplements which are commonly used for stress and anxiety but taking them without proper doctor advice can be detrimental over long term.
Just because it is marketed as supplements, it is still a medicine , also doesn’t mean it suits everyone.
Everything which we consume can have side effects which we don’t even know
Next Steps
Consult doctor, for anxiety and stress, there are relaxation techniques taught by psychiatrist, do that rather than taking any medicine in the name of suplplement

If you are facing sleep issues and anxiety then you are suffering from anxiety or depression disorder. These capsules won't help you. And it is not safe to take them without a prescription. You should consult a psychiatrist. You can consult me online through practo or preferably through my Google page. I am a professor with 22 years of experience in treating patients.
