Cortisol Balance

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].

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].

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].

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].
