NOW Foods: Super Cortisol Support

Now Foods have created their Super Cortisol support.

Cortisol is our stress hormone that is produced in the body during times of stress, anxiety and even physical exercise. The hormone stimulates the body to produce other hormones (such as adrenaline) in response to the stressor to combat it and return the body to a natural state. Too little cortisol is a bad thing, and likewise too much cortisol is a bad thing.

Excess cortisol in the body can run havoc on the body’s natural process: increasing inflammation, increasing oxidative stress, decreasing mood and energy, affecting blood sugar and digestion and even increasing appetite. In order to support the body, Now Foods made “super cortisol support” which contains ingredients that have been shown and proven to decrease cortisol production.

Super cortisol contains: Vitmain C, Pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium, chromium, relora, green tea extract, soy, ashwaghanda, holy basil extract, reishi mushroom powder, rhodiola extract and banaba extract. All of these adaptogenic ingredients have been shown to help reduce stress on the body.
