Dr. Maxwell Cortisol Manager Supplement, Supports Relaxation, Mood & Sleep in Times of Occasional Stress, Ashwagandha Rhodiola Adaptogens, Helps Maintain Normal Cortisol Levels, 120 Capsules

Theanine and Ashwghanda work as expected. Both are great for anxiety. Being an Adaptogen, Ashwghanda in particularly is great for balancing stress hormones. I'm also part of the few people who get some noticeable strength and libido benefits from this amazing herb. I've taken both Theanine and Ashwaghanda individually from different brands and still can't believe I found a brand that's able to combine both without sacrificing the effectiveness of either — especially at this price point. I've never been that responsive to Rhodiola Rosea strains (I'm more of a 3% Salidrosides guy haha) so I just consider it a bonus on top of the other 2. 99% of pre-made stacks just throw miniscule amounts of dozens of incompatible stuff together. The effects people usually get from such pricey stacks come from the stimulants in them like caffeine or theobromine (a derivative of Cacao). My rule of thumb for pre-made is that it's pretty much impossible for a supplement to do 3-4 ingredients well in a single pill. Don't fall for any BS brand that promises the benefits of 10-12 different ingredients. Most capsules only hold between 300-700mg while most ingredients need hundreds of milligrams to be effective. Common sense dictates that you can't put so much stuff in a single capsule and have it do everything effectively. There are companies on this site that will put as little as 25mg of an ingredient like Ashwaghanda or Ginkgo Bilopa, far from their effective dosages, just so they can tout its benefits for their product. The reverse is also true in that some ingredients like Noopept or Hurperzine 1% can be effective at doses as low as 10mg. In a 700mg cap filled with tons of stuff, there's no way to ensure you're not accidentally getting 20mg of Hurperzine which could cause a massive headache in sensitive individuals. And I won't even start on the synergistic nightmare that taking a blend of 12 products can be. Pre-made stacks are not only deceptive, they can be outright dangerous. Its stuff like that why most pre-made stacks and patented blends are highly discouraged in the Nootropics and Supplements community. With that said, kudos to this brand for putting together these synergistic 2-3 ingredient formulations where each ingredient is at an effective dose. I'm looking forward to what other 2-3 ingredient stacks that'll be offered in the future. Hopefully the racetams, mushrooms and/or amino acids. I'm already saving me money and on the number of pills I have to swallow each day. I also use their PS/Bacopa stack and would probably like their Alpha GPC stack if I weren't so sensitive to choline. I feel that the PS/Bacopa is much better for my sleep compared to this Stack.

I have been under a lot of stress lately, which has negatively affected my sleep, energy, mood and weight. I read an article that this may be due to excessively high levels of cortisol so I researched different options for a cortisol blocker. Although dr maxwell’s cortisol manager had slightly lower rating than other choices, it stood among the other options with its significantly higher amounts of ashwagandha and rhodiola - probably the best adaptogens to help with stress and cortisol. I have been using dr maxwell for close to three weeks now and I am super happy to report that it has worked wonders for me! I sleep better, I have more energy and go to the gym more often and feel more relaxed. Although the stressors in my life are still there, I am much more able to deal with them. After using this product, I believe that it is significantly underrated and hope more people like me will share their experience with this fantastic cortisol supplement! Thank you so much Dr. Maxwell for this outstanding supplement!

This really helps me to sleep better and provides great stress support.

When choosing a product, I consult its reviews as a disaster check to see if there are any common side effects while my decision is based on the information in the supplement facts. If I give money for a supplement, I want to be sure that it works. That is why I always check on examine.com each ingredient – is it proven for the benefits I seek, what are the right amounts and how to take it? For this reason, I stopped buying the popular ashwagandha supplements – their hundreds and thousands of reviews do not change the fact that they offer low potency ashwagandha powder and in insufficient amounts. Have you noticed that most of them do not mention the active compound withanolides at all? The same is true for cortisol manager supplements. I was so happy when I came upon Dr. Maxwell’s cortisol and adrenal support supplement – finally a product that has clinically proven ingredients (full spectrum ashwagandha extract with 5% withanolides, rhodiola rosea with 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside and l-theanine) with clinically proven amounts (ashwagandha 600mg, rhodiola 400mg and l theanine 200mg). Fantastic product, works great and comes at an incredibly good price for 120 capsules! If like me you want a supplement that really works, this is the one!

I bought this product to help me with energy and weight loss support. The problem I had is that this product gave me insomnia really bad. Since it has 3 main ingredients I suspect one or more of them may be the culprit or it may just be too strong for me. I can't take this supplement. I can't recommend this product.

I bought dr maxwell cortisol manager to help lower my cortisol levels. Due to lots of stress lately I have gained some weight, started sleeping less well, feeling more tired and suffering from brain fog. I take this product with dr maxwell alpha gpc + uridine and dr maxwell phosphatidylserine and bacopa monnieri to help with focus and memory. After a couple of weeks on all three my old self is coming back - no more brain fog, more focus, less forgetfulness. My weight is coming back to its normal range, sleep has improved and I feel more relaxed and energetic. The results exceed my expectations!

Definitely recommend this supplement. I have taken it everyday for a couple years now. If I stop I start getting emotional.

El mejor adapatogeno que he tomado lo amooo!!!!
