Cortisol Balance
This is as clean as whey protein gets, sourced exclusively from grass-fed cattle with absolutely no artificial sweeteners, food dyes, or fillers.
Overview
Transparent Labs Cortisol Balance is a comprehensive stress-relief formula featuring clinically studied ingredients, including Shoden® Ashwagandha, SerinAid® phosphatidylserine, Relora® (Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense), and BioPerine® (black pepper fruit extract). These unique adaptogenic herbs and phosphatidylserine support overall well-being and mood by balancing stress hormones, primarily cortisol, and modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In turn, this can promote numerous health benefits and reduce stress levels.
Key Features
Supports Healthy Cortisol Levels and Well-Being: Sometimes life gets crazy, and the stress that comes with it can throw our cortisol levels out of whack. The evidence-based ingredients in Cortisol Balance help turn the table around and make the body more resilient to stress by keeping cortisol levels in check.
Relieve Physical and Mental Stress: Elevated cortisol levels are associated with chronic stress, and vice versa. Our Cortisol Balance formula helps manage stress by providing targeted nutrients that modulate the brain and nervous system to lower cortisol levels.
Improve Sleep Quality and Immune System Function: When the body produces excess cortisol, it can impair immune function and make it harder to get a good night's rest. By encouraging more stable cortisol levels, Cortisol Balance supports deeper, more restorative sleep and a stronger immune system, ultimately contributing to a healthy lifestyle.
Third-Party Tested and Certified for Quality: As part of our commitment to industry-leading transparency and quality, every batch of this product is tested by a third-party lab for purity and potency. You can find all of our test results in the footer of our website.
Active Ingredients and Benefits
SerinAid® (70% Phosphatidylserine) | 400 mg
SerinAid® is a high-purity form of phosphatidylserine, an essential phospholipid nutrient found in the cell membranes of plants and animals. Research has demonstrated that phosphatidylserine supplementation can attenuate the rise in cortisol levels induced by physical stress, thereby modulating the stress response and promoting a state of calm.
For example, a recent study published in the journal Hormone and Metabolic Research found that phosphatidylserine significantly reduced cortisol levels in response to exercise-induced stress, suggesting its promise for stress management.
Relora® (Proprietary Blend of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense) | 250 mg
Relora® is a patented blend of extracts from Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, two botanicals traditionally used in Asian medicine. These extracts have been studied for their potential to mitigate stress and anxiety.
Clinical trials indicate that Relora® can effectively reduce cortisol levels and improve mood states in individuals experiencing chronic stress in as few as four weeks.
Shoden® Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) | 60 mg
Shoden® is a highly potent extract of Ashwagandha, standardized to an unmatched 35% withanolide glycosides. Ashwagandha is a renowned adaptogenic herb that has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to enhance resilience to stress.
The numerous therapeutic properties of ashwagandha stem from its ability to reduce cortisol levels and help the body successfully adapt to stressful conditions . In turn, ashwagandha supplementation may promote mental clarity, a better mood, healthy sexual function, muscle recovery, and more.
BioPerine® Black Pepper Fruit Extract | 5 mg
BioPerine® is a patented black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract standardized for its piperine content. Piperine is a natural alkaloid known for its “bioenhancer” properties, improving the bioavailability of molecules that are typically poorly absorbed or extensively metabolized in the liver [RR, RR].
How To Use
As a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules one to two times daily, preferably on an empty stomach.
Optimal Consumption Times
We recommend taking one serving in the mid-morning (between breakfast and lunch) and another serving 1-2 hours before bedtime.
FAQs
What Are the Benefits of Cortisol Balance?
This formula can provide a range of benefits by helping reduce the stress hormone cortisol and promoting overall adrenal function.
Cortisol is the primary glucocorticoid in humans. It is a type of steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands, regulating metabolism, development, immune function, and cognition/alertness. While cortisol is an essential hormone necessary to sustain life, too much (or too little) of it can wreak havoc on bodily systems.
Will this Product Fix a Cortisol Imbalance?
The answer to this depends on the degree of 'imbalance' you're experiencing and numerous other factors (e.g. eating a healthy diet, taking prescription medications, and having underlying health conditions). Since this product is a nutritional supplement, it is not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose any medical conditions. It's important to talk to your doctor if you're concerned about elevated cortisol levels and/or your mental health.
Do Anxiety Medications Help with Cortisol?
Most anxiety medications target GABA receptors or monoamine transporters (e.g. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). These medications may have downstream effects that slightly decrease cortisol levels and reduce stress, but that is not their primary mechanism of action.
How Do I Tell if I Have High Cortisol?
Your primary care doctor can order the appropriate lab work, such as a salivary cortisol test, to assess your cortisol/adrenal functions.
