5 Supplements to Reduce Cortisol Levels and Increase Happiness & Muscle (Cortisol Blocking & Reducing Supplements 2018)
We've written about ACTH-Lowering Supplements, we've written about How to Reduce Aldosterone with supplements. Perhaps the most needed article at this time is an updated well-referenced article on Cortisol-lowering Supplements!
In this case - we have done so partly based on an unmet need but also on Request.
We also are keeping this article relatively short in contrast to other similar "Hormone Optimization" articles - such as our Testosterone Booster article for 2018.
Cortisol is an adrenal Stress hormone with pivotal roles in bodily adaptation [1] and immunity [2]. It regulates inflammatory processes [3] and directly affects body composition; including Muscle Mass [4] [5]. By lowering it - one can improve Quality of Life, Happiness, Daily Energy and Muscle Mass [6].
There really are ONLY 5-absolutely Proven Supplements that Block/Reduce Cortisol in significant enough amounts to matter...
Clicking the Ingredient Name or Product Name will lead to our virus-free Recommended product page on a Credible site; AMAZON.
Click the [!] Mark to move to the NIH-reference in question proving such supplements viability and credibility.
1.) Relora [!]: I list Relora first for a number of reasons; 1.) Because it works by lowering Stress by a Central (or Nerve related) mechanism - and all too many people are affected by Psychological/Social Stresses these days...meaning probably AT LEAST 70-80% of peoples reading this will benefit from Relora versus other Cortisol-lowering Supplements. 2.) Because the herbs included in this product; Phellodendron Amurense & Magnolia Officinalis, both PRESERVE Cognition/Memory and do not really have sedating effects at normal doses.
2.) Ashwagandha Extract (KSM-66) [!]: This product is one of my favorites and most people will find a multitude of benefits; including higher Strength, more Testosterone and certainly improved Anxiety level - and it is one of the few supplements proven to help OCD. Besides Inositol, that is.
3.) Rhodiola Rosea Extract [!]: Rhodiola Rosea Extract may be one of the most 'Energizing' Cortisol-blockers out there - and long-term it may reduce 5-HT3-receptors in the Brain/Body leading to reduced Stress responses. It is very well proven for natural Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.
4.) Phosphatidylserine (PS) [!] : Phosphatidylserine is a supplement that has been used for decades to boost Muscle Mass, lower Stress and improve Brain Function & Memory - it is frequently discussed in a positive light on popular, Credible forums such as Longecity & other Miscellaneous discussion sites such as Reddit.
5.) Holy Basil (Tulsi) [!] : Holy Basil produces pronounced decreases in Cortisol levels in Normal and Stressed Humans and Animals. It may also possess Phyto-Androgenic qualities; that is, it "mimics" Testosterone and can act sort-of like a Prohormone [see here].
