NOW Foods Supplements, Adrenal Stress Support, Cortisol Support Formula* with Relora®, For Typical Everyday Stress*, Appetite Management*, 90 Veg Capsules

• This morning I woke up and the Spirit of the Lord encouraged me to write a review about this product to help and give hope to other women. I had never tried a supplement that has made me feel SO GOOD in my overall being. This is a supplement that will truly make a difference in your mood, energy, mental clarity and even libido! I’ve been taking it for 4 days now (the 3 pills all at once everyday) since I don’t have the time to take 1-3 times a day. I’m able to see a huge difference in my life! If you suffer from: adrenal fatigue, stress, lack of energy, low libido, mood swings, etc, this is your solution. I haven’t experience any weight loss yet but I do have the energy to work out and definitely Im not having those episodes of stress-craving-foods. Praise God I finally found this supplement. I also noticed I sleep like a baby! I have to mention that I also now take their Melatonin which is also the best after trying many melatonin brands. This brand has gained my trust in so many ways. Effective, affordable, more quantity for your buck, quality and integrity. I’m changing all my supplements to this brand as I’m finishing the ones I take. For a reference, I’m a 44 y/o woman with 3 children and a lovely Hubby. So I’m always in the need of having the energy to be able to juggle with all my responsibilities. Highly recommended. Have a blessed healing.

I've suffered from heart palpitations for years. Decades actually...Any real heart problem was ruled out some time ago, but yet they have continued on regular basis. Not all the time, and not always scary, but reappearing regularly and still very unsettling. In some ways they are related to stress, but mostly its just something that is unfortunately natural for some people and I am one of them apparently. In the past I have tried supplements like magnesium, hawthorn berry, stress formulas, etc, and have gotten at best mixed results. It wasn't until I came across an article about adrenalin, specifically cortisol and its roll in the so called fight or flight syndrome that I finally was able to nail down what was happening to me. Basically the fight or flight response we have is a natural defense, something that allows us to tap into the energy we made need in a threatening, or high stress situation. The problem with some people is there is either too much cortisol being secreted, or it just doesn't shut off when it supposed too and the result can be some very uncomfortable symptoms, including heart palpitations. So much of what I was reading was exactly what I was feeling. Especially the cortisol causing this almost short circuit type electrical feeling in the chest that saw my heart doing flip flops. When I decided to try this Cortisol blocker, I was hoping it would be the answer, but I had seen my hopes come to fizzle with other supplements and was still doubtful. Well all I can say is that this not only has made a big difference in my palpitations, but in my whole well being in general. There is still stress in my life that causes my heart to skip a beat or act up here in there, but the regular, confounded long attacks of it seeming to jump out of my chest are gone. Taking this stuff three times a day as recommended just shuts off like a switch the horrible short circuit feeling that was a regular part of my life for sometimes hours a day. I also benefit from this much more relaxed feeling where I am not fearing the return of the palpitations. It took a while for me to trust this stuff that much, but eventually over a short period of time I realized it was really that effective. When I skip a dose here and there, (especially the one in the middle of the day), sometimes I make it through to the next dose without a problem. Other times it returns and I have to catch up. But all in all this has been a life changing supplement for me and I will never be without again. This is not a miracle drug that completely gets rid of the palpitations all the time, but as close to one as is possible for me. I think I am someone that would suffer from them even without any role of cortisol in the equation. But it certainly has greatly reduced the real horrible attacks, and allowed me to be much more relaxed and happier... In conclusion, if you suffer from heart palpitations on a regular basis like I do, I suggest you get it checked out to rule out anything serious. Then ignore the doctors suggestion of any prescription solutions and try this as part of a regular regimen of electrolyte balancing, keeping track of your thyroid, exercise, and blood pressure. This NOW brand is very effective and comes at a very reasonable price as well. (In fact its far cheaper than any of the other cortisol blockers I have seen on Amazon, and most importantly it works!). I also should mention that my description here of the fight or flight syndrome is very over simplified for review purposes. If you have my problem or symptoms, I very much suggest you type in "cortisol and heart palpitations" into Google where you will find a wealth of pages and information that just may sound very familiar. It was a life changer for me. I highly recommend this NOW Cortisol Support, and good luck to you in it being as effective for you as it is for me.. : )

Good seller. The supplement itself works to help regulate the endocrine system. Some of the ingredients are known to be powerful anti-inflammatories and anti-coagulants, so do not take this for at least 2 weeks before any surgery. Taking this supplement with a B complex, as suggested, will give an extra benefit to the adrenals. I am taking one a day a couple hours before bed (which is when my cortisol levels are the highest) and notice a difference in the quality of my sleep. I had some strange dreams in the first week, but they have gone away. My period was a bit crampy before and during it, but was also really light for the first one while taking this supplement for less than a week. I will need to wait to see about the next one. I will not take this if I am, or am going to become pregnant. My metabolism/ insulin regulation seemed to also improve, but I added a high quality plant based Omega 3. My friend started taking this, too, and was taking the recommended dosage. It improved his overall well being and improved/ alleviated several symptoms (reduced swelling, reduced joint aches, stress management, appetite management, reduced blood pressure, increased energy, etc.). His cortisol is high all of the time, so this is a good short-term solution to help manage the harmful effects of stress. You should be sure to set aside at least 8 hours in one setting to rest/ sleep in the first couple of weeks, or you will feel tired and crappy as your body regulates itself. Also note that, your blood pressure may or may not drop and it may or may not increase. I recommend not taking any meds with this product, but to add good B-complex and Omega 3 supplements,in addition to god nutritious food. Some physicians will tell you to keep taking all of your bp meds and other meds with this product. It is important to monitor your own situation with your doctor. I am a little concerned about the soy lecithin additive, though. The estrrogenating effects are not really present in that highly refined (very, very low, chemically altered soy based) manufacturing waste product, but with the hexine used to produce it, it becomes bothersome. I would prefer actual lecithin, since the choline levels are so low in soy lecithin anyway. I'm also hoping the magnesium oxilate helps to balance the calcium, as they use the same receptors for absorption and a good 1:1 balance is important. If you notice that you are starting to feel tired and get a headache or "thumping" in your ears/ head, you might want to back off on this product some, because your body might not be as stressed as you think it is. All in all, this product does what it says and works well!

Great product! After taking this for a few days in a row I can tell a huge difference in my mood. Overall I feel less stressed, less agitated (which is great as a mom of 3 kids), more patient, and overall less high strung. I didn't expect a huge change, but honestly I'm hooked! My mind feels lighter, my days feel more carefree (if that's even possible as a mom!) and overall I feel happier. My husband has noticed a difference too and I am so happy I found this!

I went through a lot of stress in the last few years ... (and the years before that) ... most recently, it was graduating from college with honors and a double major with a 128pg thesis in three years ... before that, it was struggling with anorexia nervosa and various other health-related issues in the aftermath of my parents' messy divorce. I felt constant stress and anxiety, and felt like I couldn't shake it off. At the same time, I have been totally opposed to using pharmaceutical drugs because I didn't want to risk the side effects or getting dependent. So I shopped around for more natural supplements that could help and found this. Did some google searches on what cortisol was and thought this sounded like it could help. Wow, incredible. I'm still as neurotic as I've ever been, but the anxiety I feel here and there feels so much more manageable now already, and I've been taking this for almost two months now. Over the last two months, the most significant effect I've experienced is lack of fatigue and an increase in my sustained energy. I had a lot of problems with fatigue over the years ... I could sleep ten hours and still feel weary or unmotivated. With this, I've had a much easier time getting out of bed, I feel alert much more immediately whereas before it would take me an hour or two to really be present. I have so much more energy that I want to leave the house a lot more than I used to, mingle with people, exercise even more, just do more chores around the house - and it doesn't feel ampy (really caffeine like) at all. I feel like I have an overall brighter disposition, and a lot of it has to do with my increased energy. I feel like I'm shedding some weight of stress I had. Who knows, it could all be in my head, and maybe this is a placebo, but I'm feeling a lot better than I have in a while and I think these supplements are making the difference. I've also noticed that my waist and back seem to be slimming down a bit, too. I'm also not nibbling on snacks as mindlessly since I've been taking these. I open my fridge and think, "Do I really feel like eating? Or am I just bored?" and close it and go on to productive tasks. I just wish I could set up a monthly subscription to these.

My daughter says it helps with her mood and pms. I'm thankful!

first thing i noticed is that when i get up from bed, I feel a bit more groggy than normal. But thankfully most of it it goes away in a few minutes and I dont have ''fuzzy head'' during day (which I was afraid of.). It makes you sleep deeply. I am a crazy vivid sometimes scary dreamer normally & I have had more of these, hope this, and the very groggy thing stops.. I am only going to take 2 a day for now. After 1 week I notice I am a calmer at work , this is good. and its a true calm, not just tired like some medications cause.. I am hoping to see results in all the other areas that these 'cortisol' support supplements claim.. Need more time for that....we'll see

I had been having mini panic attacks – a sort of cortisol rush, while sleeping for the past 10 years-two or three times a week. I know the source of this enduring panic habit, it was 10+ yrs of marriage to someone that was not easy for me to live with. Life is very serene now so I surmised my neural pathways were programmed to trigger these idiopathic panic attacks. I bought this product hoping it would somehow help calm this cortisol issue. That was about six months ago and I have not had a panic attack since the third day taking it. It’s wonderful finally being panic attack- free. I feel like the product must have straightened out my biology a bit. Anyway - I am a thin vegan who does not eat a big variety of foods or have an exciting life, so its easy to target the source of any issue I might have. I actually never have health/physical issues and so when I started frequently becoming very lightheaded upon standing it was concerning. It was so dramatic and surprising that I didn’t want to tell my family members because I didn’t want them to worry. While I had this lightheadedness it was briefly unsafe to walk and seemed to me like maybe my blood pressure was too low. It wasn’t from the mangoes, hummus, spinach, cereals or my other foods so I figured it might be from this supplement. I was taking two a day – probably double the dosage. I read today that both holy basil, reishi, ashwagandha -pretty much all of the active ingredients lower blood pressure. I guess my main messages it definitely works, but don’t take more than the recommended dosage-especially if you already have normal to low blood pressure. Overall – this product has really improved my life. I sleep so much better and will start taking it again if nighttime panic attacks come back.
