This combination of ingredients is the best remedy one can find on the market right now to have normal Cortisol feedback mechanism again, or as it should be. Emodin its main agent up-regulates hippocampal GR receptor DNA expression with chronic use, thus it stabilizes blood cortisol level. It is more than a tissue selective Cortisol “blocker”. I am using it since 3 days and the difference in sleep quality and daytime stress tolerance and anxiety is night and day, with the fact that I am a substance abuser, which means my Cortisol response is even more fuc*ed up than someone’s with just all day every day stress from life itself. I highly recommend this combination which makes Emodin more bioavailable with the Support of Piperine (Bioperine). As far as side effects, I might be a lucky dude, cause I do not get any stomach problems. Have to mention I use it before sleep and only 1 piece currently. Peace out!

Cortisol, commonly known as the body’s primary stress hormone, plays a critical role in the body.
However, when cortisol (and/or other glucocorticoid) levels become chronically elevated, it can lead to adverse effects, including the breakdown of muscle tissue, fat gain, and insulin resistance.
Researchers have highlighted Emodin as a unique compound that directly inhibits the formation of cortisol at the enzymatic level, setting it apart from conventional adaptogens.
Literature suggests that the way Emodin does this is via the selective inhibition of the 11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme.
This product is certainly not for everyone, but during a long dieting phase, or for those in high stress environments, this product could be clutch.
Emodin used to be in our ‘Cortisol Blocker’ formula (now named ‘Calm’), however, because it is such a potent compound with far more particular use cases, we felt it was warranted to separate it into its own product entirely to maximize flexibility of use, dosage titration, etc.
Emodin can also be GI distressing for some, so that was just another reason to separate it out.
If you use Emodin, start at 1 capsule only, and see how you respond to that over the course of a week. Titrate up slowly on an as-needed basis.
Calm vs. Emodin -
We now carry two separate cortisol modulating formulas.
Calm, and Emodin.
In general, ‘Calm’ will be more than satisfactory for those seeking predictable and reliable stress response attenuation.
Emodin on the other hand, works by inhibiting the production of cortisol at the enzymatic level, so treating Emodin like a “break glass in case” type product is our suggestion.
Stack ‘Emodin’ with ‘Calm’ for maximum effect when more extreme situations may call for it (e.g. aggressive cutting phases, very stressful life situations, etc.).
