Pure Encapsulations Cortisol Calm 60 Capsules

Cortisol Calm is a blend of herbal extracts, including Sensoril®
ashwagandha, rhodiola and magnolia, plus vitamin D and l-theanine -“ the
bioactive compound originally found in green tea. Cortisol, released in
response to stress, is mainly produced by the adrenal cortex.
Intra-abdominal adipocytes also produce cortisol. Identified as an
adaptogen through extensive research, rhodiola helps to temporarily
relieve symptoms of stress (such as mental fatigue and sensation of
weakness) by maintaining healthy adrenal cortisol activity. Recently, a
double-blind crossover study examined the effect of rhodiola on mental
performance in healthy physicians. The results suggest that rhodiola may
help to moderate fatigue under stressful conditions and to support
cognitive function, including mental focus and stamina. In a separate,
double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, rhodiola provided support
for physical and mental stress in students. Promoting the proper
activity of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine and
dopamine plays a part in this herb's ability to support cognitive
functioning, memory and attention. Cortisol Calm also contains Sensoril^®
ashwagandha, a clinically researched form of the herb. Ashwagandha is
traditionally used in Ayurveda for memory enhancement and as a sleep
aid. As stress may also decrease immune responses over time, vitamin D
is included to help maintain immune function, including immune cell
maturation, differentiation and migration.

Recommended Use: Rhodiola is used in Herbal Medicine to help support
cogni-tive function and as an adaptogen to help temporarily relieve
