Cortisol Regulator provides a unique blend of extracts of Magnolia, Phellodendron, Ashwagandha, Lemon Balm, and German Chamomile. It is formulated to promote a healthy mood and tranquillity, restorative sleep, and a balanced response to stress. It may also help support healthy eating habits and reduce digestive upset often associated with stress.
Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands that plays a crucial role in dealing with the body’s response to stress, as well as helping to control blood glucose levels and support the immune response. It is involved in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Healthy cortisol levels can enhance good sleep, memory, mood, normal wound healing, electrolyte balance, and the handling of stress.
This specific extract of Magnolia, called Relora®, has three peer-reviewed, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled publications demonstrating its ability to reduce cortisol levels and stress, and its positive effects on mood-state scores and weight maintenance in stress eaters.
Magnolia tree bark has been utilised for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine to address nervous tension, and modern research confirms this. It may also support healthy sleep and moods. Magnolia has significant antioxidant activity, as well as immune effects, in part through its support of glutathione production. It also supports healthy circulation. Magnolia bark extract can support healthy sleep quality, shortening the amount of time to fall asleep, and increasing rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep. Magnolia active ingredients honokiol and magnolol have been shown to soothe stress and support healthy moods.
Phellodendron (Philodendron amurense), or Cork tree, is one of fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, traditionally used for the management of stress. Its active components include berberine, palmatine, jatrorrhizine, and limonoids, most of which confer antioxidant activity. Phellodendron has been studied for its support of cardiovascular health, healthy blood sugar within normal levels, and modulation of the body’s normal inflammatory response.
Ashwagandha can support both the brain’s and the body’s ability to deal with stress. In one study involving adults with chronic stress, ashwagandha significantly reduced perceived stress levels, decreased food cravings and improved happiness, while also affecting objective markers like cortisol levels and weight. It has been shown to mitigate the effect of loss of sleep on brain function, and research shows it may buffer the negative effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive function. Because of its effects on the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), ashwagandha can enhance sleep quality.
Chamomile is a nervine commonly used to make a calming cup of tea. Chamomile can relax the mind, relieve temporary muscle tension, and support deep, restful sleep.
Lemon balm has been used traditionally as a calmative, mediated through cholinergic modulation. Lemon balm’s antioxidant activity can inhibit lipid peroxidation, likely a result of its polyphenol compounds. It also contains flavonoids, monoterpene glycosides, and triterpenoids.
