Cortisol Balance

Protocol overview

Compare your current stack nutrients to the outlined protocol recommendations.

The Cortisol Balance Protocol is designed to help regulate the body’s cortisol levels, a key hormone released during stress. Balancing cortisol is essential for maintaining mental well-being, managing stress, and supporting overall health. This Protocol is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing stress-related issues, such as fatigue, anxiety, and irregular sleep patterns.

This regimen includes Ashwagandha, Phosphatidylserine, and Rhodiola Rosea. Ashwagandha is known for its adaptogenic properties, helping to modulate stress responses. Phosphatidylserine plays a role in reducing cortisol levels and supporting cognitive function, while Rhodiola Rosea is another adaptogen that helps the body adapt to and resist physical, chemical, and environmental stressors.
