Integrative Therapeutics Cortisol Manager - Balance Cortisol & Support Relaxation for Restful Sleep* - Includes Ashwagandha & L-Theanine for Confidence with Less Stress* - 30 Tablets

This supplement was recommended to me 6 years ago by a naturopath. I was on a regimen of supplements, whatever weight I had gained was dropping and I was feeling good. Fast forward to 3.5 years of grad school, working at a recording studio that was open all hours of the day and night, with a schedule that shifted weekly if not daily and now having a job with steady hours but having a horrible time sleeping. I reordered these after going through my medicine cabinet and finding the old bottle. I did a saliva test away back when and remember that, at that point in my life, my cortisol levels would spike around 7 PM, which is when I would like I was getting a second wind. This was great for grad school. Not so much now. I’m 4 nights in on this. The first night, I took two capsules due to some lingering stressful events at work. Didn’t quite sleep through the night and felt a little groggy the next morning. By 8 PM the second night, I was already tired and ready for bed. Took one pill, went to sleep at a reasonable time and slept the whole night. Last night, fell asleep around 9:30 and slept soundly until 6:15 AM. This stuff is proving to be a miracle for me. I never thought I was ever going to sleep well without pharmaceuticals again. Lorazepam was the only thing that would work, but I didn’t want to become dependent on it, so I stopped it several years ago. The last two days at work, I’ve had more energy than I’ve had in months, have been focused, productive and simultaneously calm. My anxiety is getting less and less and I’m starting to feel like my old self again. Can’t wait to see what a few months of taking this will do. I even called the boyfriend at work today and told him what I was in the mood to do after work... I haven’t been that relaxed and anxiety free in years. Miracle cure. Seriously. If cortisol is your issue, these will work. Just be cautious of drug interactions and/or allergies. One small note-I do sometimes have a small headache in the morning after these. Hydration and a little caffeine and I’m good to go. Worth it to be able to sleep.

Got this pill because I was waking up at 3am every night and couldn’t sleep again. Have had it for four nights— while I still wake up around 3 I am able to go right back to sleep. The only other thing that has worked for me is estrogen and progesterone but I got tired of taking that every day. So yeah, loving this so far!

I saw this product on TikTok, and I have never bought any product off TikTok but this was recommended by a pharmacist that I follow. I suggest taking one tablet especially if you struggle with waking up in the morning. I decided to experiment the night before my day off, and I slept in until 9:30 am! I felt relaxed before falling asleep, and during the night I was able to stay asleep. The pills are a bit large, but they're solid so you can split them if you want. This is non habit forming. I take one tablet one to two times a week, and my overall mood has changed. I feel calmer and more rested.

I’m a combat vet and I think I’ve had high cortisol and everything that goes with that for decades. First week of taking this supplement and I’ve had a bit of a headache at night, but better sleep, more calm during the day, and I’ve had some relief of my joint and tendon pain. Hoping to lose some of my gut and lower my blood pressure over the coming months.

I’ve been using this for a few years now helps me sleep through the night and if I do happen to wake up to use the bathroom, I am able to fall back to sleep almost immediately when I forget to use it, I’ll wake up and my brain starts to go wild. I take two capsules a night.

I truly love this product. Personally, I feel like it aids in weight loss because cortisol can lead to our bodies holding on to extra pounds. I also feel like it helped me get pregnant with both my children! Not sure if this is scientifically backed lol or maybe just a coincidence! I definitely notice when I run out. I also feel like it helps with falling asleep, though not necessarily with staying asleep.

Edit: April 7, 2025 The seller contacted me and offered me a refund due to my experience. They did not ask me to change my rating, they just wanted me to be happy. I chose this brand because they are quality and trusted. This further underlines that, and they’ve gained a customer for life (but for a different product)! I added a star based on this. Again, they did not ask me to change my rating. Wanted to love it… but I had to stop after about 10 days. This supplement seemed like the perfect blend. It did make me sleepy, but weirdly, I slept TERRIBLY. I was sleepy but also wired? After about 5 days I noticed some spotting which was weird. I take progesterone at night for sleep and to help with perimenopause symptoms. I haven’t ever had spotting before- and then after 2-3 days of spotting, it stopped. The thing that make me stop taking the medication was (after 9 ish days of awful sleep and increased anxiety), on day 10, I also had restless legs. It was awful! I’ve never had restless legs before- but as soon as it began, I knew what it was. It was the most unsettling, tingling, strange feeling in my legs. I got up several times, walked, massaged my legs, applied magnesium, rubbed them some more, and finally it eased enough to sleep. I have no idea which ingredient or combo of ingredients affected me… but the rest of the bottle will remain untouched. I was really hoping this would better my sleep and stress, but it definitely did the opposite. Just my experience- yours may not be the same- however, I’d love if anyone experienced the same!

Did not work for me but my friend loves it!
