Product Description
Cortisol Manager ™ – Stress Adaptogen Formulation
Stress Hormone Stabilizer – Helps Reduce Cortisol Levels, Restful Sleep, For Adults
Cortisol Manager combines cortisol-modulating botanicals (blend of herbal extracts from ashwagandha, magnolia and epimedium) and stress-reducing ingredients.
Ashwagandha, a tonic in Ayurvedic medicine, is known for hundreds of years for its ability to help the body deal with stress.
Ashwagandha is an Adaptagen
As an adaptogen, ashwagandha helps stabilize cortisol levels.
Adaptogens help modulate body systems (like cortisol production) to be in the “right” range. Put another way, adaptogens help the body achieve homeostasis.
So if your cortisol level is too high, adaptogens help bring it down; if your levels are too low, adaptogens help raise it.
Cortisol and Stress
When your body experiences stress, the adrenal glands respond and produce more cortisol hormone. Cortisol creates an energy surge, increased mental alertness, increased blood pressure.
These are normal responses. They are all part of readiness for the “fight or flight” response and necessary for survival. However, due to the stressors of the “modern world,” this response is often “unnaturally” overactive for prolonged periods.
Circadian Rhythm
Ideally, at bedtime cortisol levels are lower than during the day. This is part of our natural circadian rhythm regulated by sunlight. It allows us to wind down and fall asleep.If cortisol levels are elevated at bedtime, it can be very difficult to fall asleep. This is common for many people.
Of course there are many types of insomnia and reasons why it may be difficult to fall asleep. Cortisol Manager can help with insomnia if sleep difficulties are related to stress or being too exhausted to sleep.
Cortisol Manager is a natural and non-habit forming botanical formula that increases the ability to relax, fall asleep and stay asleep.
Getting a sufficient amount of sound sleep rejuvenates your body and mind. A good night’s sleep better prepares you for the next day.
Fact: Lack of sleep can itself become an ongoing stressor!
