This really helps to calm my anxiety and irritation. I can really tell the difference in my mood if I don't take thisI feel much more calmer at night and it helps me sleep better.Someone I trust recommended this to me so I finally bought it. I know this is a little pricey but it’s worth it. I noticed a difference right away. My mood was better, I was calmer and my sleep improved after months of struggling.This product is great it made me a little sleepy at first but now it just keeps me calm I take it twice a day.I have been taking this product for a couple of years because my cortisol levels stay high due to anxiety which effects my sleep. Pure Encapsulations makes great products. I also take their magnesium glycinate.This product is an asset to have, during stressful times. The ashwaganda helps build the adrenals. It also helps provide a more restful sleep.Cortisol Calm has been a God-send to me. I suffer with autoimmunes and adrenal problems. I am innately not an anxious person however twice in my life i had experienced terrible anxiety for days. Could only pace and pace. No sleep. No eat. No drink. Terrible due to autoimmune.Cortisol calm to the rescue. I started taking 2. One in am/pm. Sometimes alone. Sometimes combined with CP Calm. It took a few weeks but my adrenals are happier.It doesn’t make me feel “ weird “ like sedatives do. But instead just helps the anxiety.Wouldn’t live without it in my cupboardOk the thing with reviewing supplements is, like any medicine, reactions and needs are individual. If you don’t have high cholesterol, and you take a statin, it’s not that statins are bad - it’s just not for you. I’d encourage other reviewers to add context to their reviews!My context is: with my doctor, we reviewed a bunch of symptoms and did some testing of my neurotransmitter and hormone levels over 24 hours. It was very apparent there was a problem with my cortisol cycles. They actually suggested I use a different supplement with similar ingredients that’s marketed 2 ways - as a cortisol manager and as a sleep aid (literally the same pills under 2 different sister brands and 2 labels). But that had soy which was problematic for me. This doesn’t. Or some other unnecessary fillers.This blend of ingredients helps some people with insomnia. Not the case for me. In fact at the start it amped me up a bit and I had to reduce the dose.What I did notice was, I woke up feeling ready to take on the day. I even started waking up early and thinking “hey I think I’ll start the day early.” After I picked my long time boyfriend’s jaw off the floor and convinced him I wasn’t on anything illegal, I became a morning person. Eventually it became easier to shut down at night too, especially taking one before bed.It didn’t solve everything on its own but it’s been an important component in regulating cortisol cycles, for me. New neurotransmitter and hormone tests show a change. I’m told to take a break now and then, switching to other adaptogenics, but I see this being something I use periodically, from now on.
