Integrative Therapeutics - Cortisol Manager - Stress Hormone Stabilizer - 90 Tablets

After taking this for 2 months now, I can say it has made a difference. I feel much calmer and relaxed. Sleep has overall improved. I take this 60-90 minutes before bed and it doesn’t take me as long to fall asleep.

This definitely knocks me out, especially taking two each night. However, I’m still waking up at 5:30 AM to pee (and I feel like a zombie) and I have a hard time going back to sleep. It managed my sugar cravings wonderfully in the beginning, but it definitely has plateaued now. On the advice of my NP, I’m going to try a different company to manage my cortisol, but I’m keeping these on hand in case.

I can take this for up to 10 days and it absolutely helps me fall asleep, some nights sleep longer, and there's a calmness. However, I also can tell it's doing something to my body because around day 10 I start to feel a little down, more tired, kind of depressed. I think it's the ashwagandha which I've noticed I can't tolerate for long on its own. Could just be it's lowering my cortisol so much it's too low. My sister does great on ashwagandha so I just think people need to try it and see how it goes. I do cycle on and off it because honestly up until about 10 days it works pretty well for my sleep.

This helps my Cortisol level stay normal. I was given this product by a holistic dr. as I have high Cortisol levels in the daytime due to stress

I don't review things much, but I feel compelled to just tell folks to try it. I did on kind of a whim and now I feel like my life is: life before CM and life after CM. It has completely adjusted my nervous system. I sleep better, I feel calmer, it's been a huge shift in the last two months. I feel like myself again.
