About this Cortisol
Named for the morning spike
The most common complaint we hear is that morning “wired but tired” feeling, adrenaline running before your feet hit the floor. Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone, and ashwagandha is traditionally taken to help lower and steady it, so the day starts calmer and feels less like a sprint.
Pure ashwagandha, taken to help support several things
- A calmer start and steadier days — taken to help lower stress and anxiety and leave you feeling more settled in yourself.
- Rest, energy and memory — traditionally used to help support better sleep, steadier energy and sharper memory, the things that fray first when stress runs high.
- Everyday hormone and metabolic support — also taken to help support healthy testosterone, balanced blood sugar, lower cholesterol and everyday inflammation.
The honest truth about “just lowering cortisol”
Here is the part the marketing skips. Stress is more than one number, and no capsule fixes it on its own. Anyone honest will tell you the biggest levers are still sleep and movement. This is taken to help support your body while you keep those going, not to stand in for them. Give it a fair few consistent weeks alongside the basics before you judge it.
A simple daily habit
Two capsules a day, one morning and one evening. Adaptogens build gradually, so treat this as a steady helper, not a switch.

Common questions
What is Cortisol made of?
Pure ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, 500mg per serving) in easy capsules. The full detail is under Supplement Information.
How do I take it?
Take two capsules a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, with water.
How is this different from Stress Support?
Both are ashwagandha-based. This one is named and framed around cortisol, your main stress hormone, while Stress Support leans more broadly on calm and resilience.
Will it make me feel flat or dull?
Some people worry an adaptogen will numb them. This is taken to help you feel calmer and more balanced, not switched off. Start at the recommended dose and notice how you feel.
Can I take it with my medication?
Check with your healthcare practitioner first, especially if you take medication for mood, blood sugar or cholesterol. Do not take it with anti-coagulants.
