Integrative Therapeutics - Cortisol Manager - Supplement with Ashwagandha and L-Theanine - Supports Relaxation & Calm* - 30 Tablets

I’ve used this product for 4 months now and it’s truly been life changing. I lost 10 pounds assuming this was just inflammation. I can sleep at night, my days are productive, and I feel like I can focus on work a lot better. All in all I just just so much better. It is definitely worth the price given the changes I’ve experienced.

Love these pills. So I've been trying to lose weight. My face looked puffy and just swollen from fat. When I started the pills within about 3 days I noticed a difference in my face, a big one... it did not look as swollen and puffy. I feel better, more energy, I even started having energy to go to the gym. I take one in the morning with water and one at night. I don't think it matters if you take it with food, because i take them on a empty stomach.I also believe this helps with hunger.When im at work, I dont crave to have lunch. I can go all the way to 6pm until my first and only meal. I reccomend these pills, my stress levels are being regulated with these pills so I believe that's what's helping me lose the weight. I am down 3 pounds so far. It's day 6.

I bought this after my Naturopathic doctors recommendation to help me sleep at night. I take Cortisol Manager in combination with a magnesium supplement, which was also recommended by my doctor. Once adding in the Cortisol Manager along with the magnesium I noticed a world of difference! I am sleeping like a baby 20-30 minutes after taking this supplement. I typically only take one, but on high stress days I will take 2, which is what is recommended on the bottle. Before starting this regimen it would be up tossing and turning for hours before I would be able to fall asleep, with broken sleep following throughout the night. I am now able to fall asleep easily, and stay asleep. I do still wake up once or twice, but am able to fall back asleep quickly.

This is an easy to swallow, odorless, ivory colored capsule. It calmed my mind getting ready for sleep on the first three nights that I took it. Night 4-10 I had extremely vivid and intense dreams. I woke up feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted. My doctor said the level of Ashwagandha was much too potent for me and I discontinued use. My sleep went back to normal after a few days. This is a clean formula and a favorite supplement of functional medicine practitioners. It can be positively life changing for many. It just wasn’t a good fit for me and my needs.

Recently I was diagnosed with PMDD which is an acronym for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. It's basically a severe form of PMS where the "dysphoria" you experience is everything direct opposite of euphoria. Basically for an entire week every month you are a miserable wreck. Many women suffer from this problem, especially after having children or later in your reproductive years from 35-50. You are very easily triggered to fly off into rages, you're severely depressed, suffer from insomnia, have anxiety attacks and pretty much lose all interest in your life. You basically have to sequester yourself as much as possible during this time period so the only person you make miserable is you and not the rest of the world. The thing is it's not "all in your head" . A delicate dance exists between your hormones and neurotransmitters in your brain. My doctor prescribed an anti-depressant to help, but I was reluctant to take it only because I think anti-depressants mask an underlying problem and don't fix it. I also personally believe anti-depressants are bad for your brain long-term. However, I was so miserable and my life felt hijacked for about 10 days each month surrounding my period. I was desperate enough to cave and just take the anti-depressants. I told myself, "Ok I'm going to make an effort to try to solve this by more natural means, but if it doesn't work I am just going to have to take the anti-depressant because I can't live like this". I began researching about how to balance hormones naturally. Aside from the PMDD I also suspected I may suffer from too much cortisol and perhaps adrenal fatigue. I work almost full-time, run a business, go to school and take care of two small children. I must add too that I am a certified holistic health coach so my diet is also pretty healthy and balanced. So I have that working in my favor as well. I began taking more probiotics and eating more prebiotic food so my gut could manufacture neurotransmitters successfully. Anyway I initially bought this supplement to manage my stress, and much to my pleasant surprise it cleared up all my PMDD symptoms entirely!!!!! Usually the misery starts a week to 10 days before my period and absolutely nothing happened this past month. I had been taking the Cortisol Manager for approximately 3 weeks. I didn't even know I was getting my period and felt absolutely fine! I was surprise when it started and only felt some slight irritability the first two days of my cycle. This is such a tremendous relief for me and I am so grateful to have found this product. I ordered a second bottle today and I actually want to start selling these supplements in my health coaching practice!!! The cortisol manager works very and I had positive results I wasn't even expecting! Thank you so much to manufacturers of this product to save me from having to take anti-depressants to solve a problem that is more hormone based!!!

This supplement made me really sleepy the next morning. I only took one tablet before bed as directed and I was pressing snooze multiple times and couldn't wake up at a decent hour. I did a mini experiment and did everything the same but took the supplement or didn't take it and it is for sure the supplement that is causing the fatigue. It also made me really sleepy throughout the day also, I was yawning constantly and was counting down the hours before I could go back to sleep. It was brutal. I will however keep this in my cabinet for long flights and if I need help sleeping due to jet lag, I know it's not for that but it made me so sleepy, unlike any other supplement I've ever tried.

This is a miracle product. I struggle with high cortisol due to my high-stress lifestyle and was consistently waking up throughout the night full of fight-or-flight hormones. I take two pills of cortisol manager during the night, and while I still wake up once or twice, I'm able to fall asleep again with 10-15 minutes. This product is expensive but it's worth it.

I’ve been taking these since November and I definitely feel less stressed. It does not help with sleep, but does with anxiety. No taste, easy to swallow, good price.
