Cortisol Manager - The Stress Hormone StabilizerCortisol, often referred to as the stress hormone, is produced by the adrenal cortex in response to signals from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, as part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Cortisol is perhaps the most important hormone involved in the adaptation process.Upon exposure to acute stressors, cortisol secretion can generally help maintain homeostasis in the body. Because of its central role as a first responder and its capability to modulate multiple critical physiological functions, cortisol is often seen as the bridge between stress and its health consequences.Variations of cortisol secretion can be an indicator of how well a body is coping with stress. Cortisol production is generally at its peak in the early hours of the morning and then gradually declines over the course of the day.Cortisol Manager has been formulated with stress-reducing ingredients and botanicals to promote relaxation, help alleviate fatigue, and support healthy cortisol levels.* By balancing cortisol levels, Cortisol Manager can help reduce stress, which supports a restful night's sleep without diminishing daytime alertness.* Cortisol Manager is formulated with: Ashwagandha (Sensoril brand) L-theanine Phosphatidylserine Magnolia EpimediumDietary ConsiderationsWheat FreeDairy/ Milk FreeGluten FreeVeganServing Size:2 TabletServings Per Container:45Amount Per ServingCalories5Total Carbohydrate1 gSodium10 mgStress-Reducing Proprietary Blend:500 mgAshwagandha (Withania somnifera) (Sensoril brand) root leaf extractL-Theanine (Suntheanine)Cortisol-Reducing Proprietary Blend:450 mgMagnolia officinalis bark extract standardized to contain 2% honokiol and 1% magnololEpimedium (Epimedium spp.) aerial parts extractPhosphatidylserine (from soybean lecithin)100 mgOther IngredientsCellulose, Sodium croscarmellose, Hypromellose, Stearic acid, Calcium silicate, Magnesium stearate, Silica, Titanium dioxide color, GlycerinSuggested UseAdults take 1 tablet before bedtime or as recommended by a healthcare professional.
