Cortisol Calm

Supports cognitive function and restful sleep during times of stress Cortisol Calm is a blend of herbal extracts, including Sensoril® sleep-inducing black cohosh, rhodiola, and magnolia, enriched with vitamin D and L-theanine—a bioactive compound extracted from green tea. Cortisol, released in response to stress, is primarily produced by the adrenal cortex. Intra-abdominal fat cells also produce cortisol. Recognized as an adaptogen through extensive research, rhodiola helps temporarily relieve the symptoms of stress (such as mental fatigue and weakness) by maintaining healthy adrenal cortisol activity. A recent double-blind, crossover study examined the effect of rhodiola on mental performance in healthy physicians. Results suggest that rhodiola helps reduce fatigue under stressful conditions and support cognitive function, including mental focus and endurance. In another double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, rhodiola helped students combat physical and mental stress. The herb's ability to promote the proper functioning of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine plays a role in its ability to support cognitive function, memory, and attention. Cortisol Calm also contains Sensoril®, a clinically studied form of this herb. Rhodiola is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to improve memory and promote sleep. Because stress can reduce the immune response over time, vitamin D is included to help maintain immune function, including the maturation, differentiation, and migration of immune cells.
