Transform Cortisol contains a blend of adaptogenic botanicals specifically formulated to strengthen the body’s stress response and support healthy energy levels. It provides a unique blend of “stress adapting botanicals” that helps to increase the body’s resistance to fatigue, improve attention and immune function, and maintain balanced cortisol and DHEA levels. 

Overview:

Stress is defined as any disturbance—extreme cold or heat, psychological stress, sleep deprivation, work overload, physical trauma, or toxic exposure—that can trigger the stress response. The body’s stress response system is comprised of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Prolonged stress triggers the HPA axis and consists of three stages: stage 1: alarm; stage 2: resistance; and stage 3: exhaustion.

The initial, short-lived phase is the body’s normal fight-or flight response to danger, which is characterized by elevated cortisol levels. The subsequent resistance phase allows the body to continue buffering extended stress exposure long after the initial fight-or-flight response has dissipated. Hormones released by the adrenals, such as cortisol and DHEA, help support the “resistance” reaction. However, extended periods of stress not only burden the system, creating an imbalance in cortisol and DHEA production, but can result in mental and physical fatigue, nervous tension, irritability, poor memory, and decreased immunity—all of which are characteristic of stage 3. Transform Cortisol provides a unique blend of botanicals that supports the body’s ability to respond to and counteract the negative effects of stress.
