BioPerine®

SerinAid® (70% Phosphatidylserine)

400 mg

Phosphatidylserine protects neurons and glial cells in the brain and also acts as a cellular signaling molecule for keeping the mind sharp [1]. 

In addition to its neuroprotective properties, research has demonstrated that phosphatidylserine supplementation can attenuate the rise in cortisol levels induced by acute and chronic stress, thereby modulating the stress response and promoting a state of calm [2, 3, 4].

SerinAid® (70% Phosphatidylserine)

Relora® (Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense)

250 mg

Relora® is a patented blend of extracts from Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, two botanicals traditionally used in Asian medicine. These extracts have been studied for their potential to mitigate stress and anxiety.

Clinical trials indicate that Relora® can effectively reduce cortisol levels and improve mood states in individuals experiencing chronic stress in as few as four weeks [5, 6].

Relora® (Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense)

Shoden® Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

60 mg

Shoden® is a highly potent extract of Ashwagandha, standardized to an unmatched 35% withanolide glycosides. 

The numerous therapeutic properties of ashwagandha stem from its ability to reduce cortisol levels by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thereby helping the body successfully adapt to and overcome stressful conditions [7, 8].

 In turn, ashwagandha supplementation may promote mental clarity, a better mood, healthy sexual function, muscle recovery, and more [9].

Shoden® Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

BioPerine®

5 mg

BioPerine® is a patented black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract standardized for its piperine content. Piperine is a natural alkaloid known for its “bioenhancer” properties, improving the bioavailability of molecules that are typically poorly absorbed or extensively metabolized in the liver [10, 11].

Frequently Asked
Questions

What are the benefits of Cortisol Balance?

This formula can provide a range of benefits by helping reduce the stress hormone cortisol and promoting overall adrenal function. Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid in humans. It is produced in the adrenal glands, regulating metabolism, development, immune function, and cognition/alertness. While cortisol is an essential hormone necessary to sustain life,  too much (or too little) of it can wreak havoc on bodily systems.

Will this product fix a cortisol imbalance?

The answer to this depends on the degree of "imbalance" you're experiencing and numerous other factors (e.g., eating a healthy diet, taking prescription medications, and having underlying health conditions). Since this product is a nutritional supplement, it is not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose any medical conditions. It's important to talk to your doctor if you're concerned about elevated cortisol levels and/or your mental health.

Do anxiety medications help with cortisol?

Most anxiety medications target GABA receptors or monoamine transporters (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). These medications may have downstream effects that slightly decrease cortisol levels and reduce stress, but that is not their primary mechanism of action.

How do I tell if I have high cortisol?

Your primary care doctor can order the appropriate lab work, such as a salivary cortisol test, to assess your cortisol/adrenal functions.
