- Helps Control Stress
- Supports Mood
Cortisol is a hormone that’s become known as a bodybuilder, athlete’s, and fitness enthusiast's worst enemy. Secreted by the adrenal glands, cortisol is the catabolic hormone the body releases in response to stress, which includes the physical stress of intense training as well as the stresses of daily life. Perhaps surprisingly to some, the fact is that normal, healthy cortisol levels are important because it has key roles in how the body uses macronutrients, as well as the regulation of sleep, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. However, excess cortisol is destructive and can cause such negative effects as fat gain, high blood pressure, reduced insulin sensitivity, poor mood, and loss of sleep.

Ingredient Highlights

KSM-66®Ashwagandha –600mg - Known primarily as an adaptogen, ashwagandha has become a popular supplement in recent years. KSM-66™ is the most effective form of Ashwagandha available and it’s a trademarked ingredient with clinical research to back it up. As an adaptogen, it supports the body’s ability to fight physical and mental stress. It’s also been shown to increase free testosterone levels, which it does by decreasing levels of cortisol.
Theanine – 200 mg – Theanine is an amino acid that’s derived from green tea and is commonly used in various pre-workouts to help smooth out the effects of caffeine. The primary way it does this is by promoting relaxation without the usual signs of drowsiness.
