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.).

Reviews

Calm in a Bottle

"Working in high stress environments often requires improved wind-down strategies. This product ensures I will sleep soundly through the night, wake up relaxed and refreshed. Only drawback is you’ll think you’re dehydrated for a day IKYKY 😅"

— Dan G. (5/5)

Reduction of stress and ease on my CNS

"Admittedly I began this as a method to deload from work (drilling rig) and an immense intake of caffeine. I took a little break off of it then picked it up again for a weight cut I was undergoing for a BJJ tournament, worked wonders! Love the product."

— Jason J. (5/5)

I never received my order

"Well I never received my order so I wouldn't know I didn't get a refund or anything. I emailed and they said somebody would contact me and nobody did. I'll be filing a fraud with my bank"

Q&A

Why did you guys change the ingredients? You took out 5 ingredients, now it’s just 2, why?: Emodin was previously included in our 'Cortisol Blocker' formula (now called 'Calm'). However, due to its potency and more specific use cases, we decided to separate it into its own product. This allows for greater flexibility in its use, dosage adjustment, and overall effectiveness.
Is there going to be restock of this product?: Unfortunately, we do not have a estimated restock date for this item but be sure to sign up here to our newsletter - bit.ly/3szbBt9 to be notified of all restocks.
I plan on taking 1 cap for 4 weeks, then 2 caps for an additional 4 weeks (8 weeks total. Is this safe and okay? Will there be some kind of rebound?: We recommend always consulting your healthcare professional before taking either of our products to determine the best protocol for you.
What is the best time to take this? I typically fast until 12 PM. I also work from home and work out around 6 PM.: It is best to be taken when one is ready to relax/go to sleep. Here is a video on it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVuKRJv-CiU
When should you take these?: It is best to be taken when one is ready to relax/go to sleep. Here is a video on it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVuKRJv-CiU
