How long does it take for vitamins or supplements to start working?

This can be very tricky, and it depends on what kind of supplement or vitamin you're taking. This also depends on your own body. There are numerous variables that need to be considered while taking a vitamin or supplement: your current state of health, current diet, your stress level, and if you have any deficiencies.

However, you should notice an improvement within a few months.

What are some good tips to help with stress?

There are tons of ways that can help ease your stress, including essential oils, meditations, exercise, hobbies that help you feel relaxed, avoiding junk food and alcohol, and getting a good night's sleep. Sometimes simply talking to someone about your stress can help.

What are the benefits of a fast metabolism?

Your metabolism is the mechanism behind burning the calories your body needs for energy and to sustain life. If you have a fast metabolism, you may be able to lose weight and have more energy, younger skin, a better mood, and better blood circulation.
