Anbosyn is the name of the new food supplement against burn-out (or professional exhaustion) which has been snapping up in pharmacies since its marketing last January. Developed by researchers at the Bordeaux University Hospital, this supplement is supposed to reduce the effects of this malaise and this professional fatigue which affects an average of 3.5 million people in France, i.e. three out of ten employees.
Burn-out or professional exhaustion syndrome which is defined by great fatigue and exhaustion due to work. Demotivation, irritability, anger, feelings of frustration and incompetence, isolation, loss of self-confidence, depression, even attempts to suicide… Many are the symptoms that should alert and lead to slow down at the professional level.
But since Anbosyn is on the market, some are tempted to use it to deal with the burnout rather than letting go and resting. In concrete terms, the formula is made up of four natural active ingredients: eleutherococcus for its calming power, taurine for its energizing and antioxidant aspect, melon extract and casein, a milk protein.
Tested in a scientific study published in the Journal of International Medical Research, this supplement would represent a good alternative to antidepressants and would induce an improvement in general condition in 76% of cases. However, the study specifies that these very positive results were obtained when the patient followed psychotherapy in parallel. However, some consider these results to be unreliable, since the study was only conducted over 12 weeks and on 87 patients.
Questioned by Europe 1, the psychologist Christophe Bagot does not really believe in the beneficial effects of this food supplement over time. “It’s the myth of the magic potion, we’re on the ground, and we start running again as before. […] Anbozyn may help people get back on their feet, for a while, but it won’t prevent them from relapsing later”, warns the specialist. So, if this supplement seems promising, it should not be used without taking psychological burden.Failing this, the exhausted employee risks relapsing quickly as soon as his treatment with Anbosyn has ended, if the latter has succeeded in attenuating the burn-out.
